Em Studio 0maciej0 — we enjoyed this one just as much as the first Ralph book.

Raquel Siza raquelsiza — I read this for my college Shakespeare 2 class (wanted to skip all that I'd read for high school and run with the obscure); and later saw a live-action play version at the Intiman Theater in Seattle. They did a cowboy version with a little Asian gal as Cymbeline. Not my favorite, but I think everyone needs to go see a live-action Shakespeare play at least once (preferably one that doesn't suck as much).

Hannah Valdeabella yuumira — The Imperfectionists is another successful novel-in-short stories, this one set at the headquarters of an international English-language newspaper based in Rome. The setting itself provides more than enough fodder for the series of dynamic, character-driven, compelling stories that populate the novel--from the powerful family that owns the paper to the editors, reporters, and even readers who keep it going--in good times and bad--over the decades. Rachman pulls these vastly different stories together by interweaving them with blurbs that describe the history of the paper, from its earliest conception in the 1950s up until more recent years. Thus, the arch of the novel transcends the individual characters to tell the story of the rise and fall of a modern newspaper over the course of five tumultuous decades. Everything begins and ends at the newspaper headquarters on Corso Vittorio, and the details that Rachman uses to bring the newsroom to life--from the evolving technology to the stained rug--tell its story quite vividly. Rome becomes a romantic, gritty backdrop to the drama, politics, and personal successes and failures of the individual characters, but never upstages them. It is the quirky and eccentric characters, in fact, that compel the reader to move quickly from story to story, wondering which of the background characters from previous stories will take center stage in the next one, and what secrets of his or her love life, professional life, or innermost fears and desires will be revealed.

Patrick Maina patriquek — He did not see himself as a reactionary longing for a past that was gone, but as the prophet of a dangerous future. The world, he said, was “entering a period when the struggle for self-preservation is going to present itself with great intenseness to thickly populated industrial countries.” Five years ago, eminent historian Paul Johnson published this concise history of Winston Churchill, in order to answer the question “Did Churchill save England?” Obviously Winston Churchill has a rich history and a definitive biography would require upwards of 1,000 pages. But there is something to be said for a 200 page biography like this one, and the focus on Churchill’s acumen about world affairs makes for a great book. First, Johnson not only hits the high points, but also adds his only personal experiences with The British Bulldog. Second, we get a real feel for the man – his tenacity, his stubbornness and his ever present wit. Lastly, sometimes a short biography such as this one serves as a taste test for delving into the longer, more exhaustive tome. I have to say I’m hooked. Winston Churchill was not only a great leader who seemed destined to lead in a time of world crisis, but an interesting personality as well. I will definitely be reading that larger biography (which Johnson recommends a few in the Further Reading section of the book).

Naveah Wang _aveah — As a self-respecting woman in the 21st century, I should be outraged at this books' misogeny... but then I would have to overlook a way of looking at the world that is both vibrant and dying. It's more of an artist's manifesto than a novel persay, a thinly veiled autobiographical look at an American in paris.

алекс куз lexx1075c72 — Not exactly my favorite classical read. Pyle probably needed to borrow someone's thesaurus because he uses several words nauseatingly frequently (if I read the words lusty or stout again in my life it will be too soon). The female characters were almost non-existent (and, if they did exist they were uni-dimentional and peripheral); even the famed Maid Marion had a lesser role than Little John's bo staff. I won't comment on some of the other oblique overtones (let's just say I don't plan to read that book again).
