Yuzhi Hu yuzhihu77c738 — I would read this to younger elementary students (prek~1st grade). It does not really have a plot but I would use it to do a lesson sequence, or re-telling the story. The book is rather simple; it would also be a fun lesson to do on different types of animals.

Jin Tee jinjeanjins — There are two schools of thought on re-reading books. One contends that with so many excellent books in the world, it is a shame to waste time re-reading any. Another contends, in the words of C.S. Lewis, "any book worth reading only once was probably not worth reading even then." Few authors serve as greater evidence for Lewis' contention than P.G. Wodehouse. This was my third time reading The Code of the Woosters. For a Wodehouse uninitiate, this book would not be a bad place to start. The novel showcases many of the unforgettable Wodehouse characters introduced in his earlier books and throws them all together in another absurd situation, this time involving a silver antique cow-creamer and a weekend house-party at Totleigh Towers. Not only is the novel blessed with the inimitable Jeeves and Wooster as its central figures, but also hosts Bertie's beloved "aged-relative" Aunt Dahlia Travers, the insipid Madeline Bassett ("I believe the stars are God's daisy-chain..."), the simpering newt-enthusiast Augustus "Gussie" Finknottle, the vindictive Stephanie "Stiffy" Byng ("She is pure padded-cell from the foundation up!"), local clumsy curate Harold "Stinker" Pinker, Sir Watkin Bassett, (with whom Bertie shares a painful history), and the aspiring Fascist in black shorts, Sir Roderick Spode. Over the course of the weekend the cow-creamer in question is sought by no less than four different parties and its pursuit results in dog attacks, policeman's helmet pilfering, repeated fisticuffs, newts flushed down drains, engagements called, called off and called again, etc., etc. Like a Seinfeld episode, Wodehouse's humor pales in the retelling and must be experienced first hand.

张 莉敏 7566650114df1 — I'll be honest and say that I didn't read this whole book cover to cover. However, I loved what I did read. It made me very sentimental for my own home town and the people in it.

Roman Emeliyanov emeliyanov — I enjoyed The Alchemyst by Michael Scott, but I’m a little miffed at the total cliffhanger ending (but mostly at the fact that my uber-cool ILL doesn’t have the sequel yet). The Alchemyst is concerned with Nicholas Flamel, the man who found a way to make the Philosophers’ Stone, thereby becoming immortal. If you’re like me, when you read the words ‘Nicholas Flamel’ or ‘Philosophers’ Stone,’ you think of Harry Potter. And stylistically, the two books are slightly similar, as they concern magic in our own present world and time. Scott works in references to quite a lot of current technology (Google, iPods and Wikipedia all get several mentions) but the story is also bursting with myths, legends, and the creatures that populate them. So Nicholas Flamel and his wife Perenelle are still alive in 21st century San Francisco. But when the evil Dr. John Dee steals the instruction book for making the Philosophers’ Stone and kidnaps Perenelle Flamel, it’s up to Nicholas and two ordinary American teenagers, Josh and Sophie Newman, to get the book back and stop Dr. Dee from releasing all of the bad guys from the old tales on to the unsuspecting world. Fascinating, huh? The plot moves along fairly well, the characters are all well-rounded and the world is detailed and believable. Like I said, I’m waiting impatiently for one of the libraries in our consortium to get the sequel so I can find out what happens next!
