Once past the idea of dead teens coming back to life, the book reads well. Fringe groups of teens will probably relate well to the issues of acceptance addressed by this story. There is violence and death.

Wonderful vision of medieval life and the cathedral builders.

Too. Goddamn. Long. When I was 15, I once sat on a mountaintop for six hours, staring into space, looking at nothing and thinking about everything. Reading "Love in the Time of Cholera" is a lot like that - as beautiful from moment to moment, and as maddeningly without direction when perceived in its entirety.

This book is about Lewis Black and his experiences with religion. I have read his other books and I loved it. He is Jewish and he also makes fun of Judaism. He points out a lot of flaws about all relgions and then criticizes them. While he is talking about religion he also sneaks in personal anecdotes. Not only did I learn a lot about his views on religion but also what other religious leaders think. Overall I really liked this book and would recommend this to anyone who likes Lewis Black.

This is one of my favourite books on buddhism that I have. It's not in-depth covering every angle, it's not full of deep insights into the history of the philosophy / religion, it's not a manual on how to meditate. What it IS, however, is a neat, easy to understand, succinct summary of how Buddhism matters: mattered in 600BC in India, matters in Tibet, matters in Scarborough. It's one of very few books that discard the trappings of religion - that tries to draw a line where buddhism begins and eastern culture begins. The only other book I know that does this is "Buddhism Without Beliefs" by Stephen Batchelor, which I'd also recommend. If you want an introduction to the buddha-dharma for someone living in western culture, you could choose an awful lot worse than this little book. If you're interested in buddhism, this will never give you everything you need or want, but it's an excellent introduction.

This is one of those books that really serves to remind a modern audience of why we should kill whitey. Robinson Crusoe is the story of a young man with atrociously bad luck who, unfortunately for any shipmates he ever has, suffers from an extreme case of wanderlust. Every ship he gets onto sinks, but he just keeps getting onto them. Even after he's got a nice, successful plantation of his own, he decides he's just GOT to get on ANOTHER ship to -- get this -- procure himself some slaves. It crashes of course, and he gets stranded alone on an island. Not to worry, though -- he's got a bible, and he successfully becomes a religious zealot while alone with nothing better to do. It's too bad that his only book couldn't have been a copy of Don Quixote or something because maybe then he'd have become a more interesting storyteller. But no, like so many people who have terrible luck, he turns to "god" and starts counting his "blessings," more-or-less out of a lack of anything better to do. Then, after he's been alone for 24 years, he sees a footprint in the sand, and he totally freaks, and he becomes convinced it must belong to the devil. Ummm, ok. So I'm sitting there thinking, "Maybe it's your own footprint." But it takes this genius a whole day of scaring himself before he comes up with that explanation. Anyway, it turns out not to be his footprint at all, it actually belongs to the "savages" (Carribean Indians) who apparently visit the island sometimes in order to cook and eat their prisoners, which, for the record, was not actually a common practice among Indians in the Americas. And here's the part where you really hate white people. He then saves one of the prisoners from being eaten and makes him into his slave, who he renames "Friday," teaches English, and converts to Christianity. Friday, instead of kicking this pompous jerk's posterior from here to next Friday after repaying whatever debt he owed Robinson for saving his life, is a faithful slave in every way for the remainder of the book. Friday speaks in a pidgin English, which is probably realistic enough for a man who learned English late in life from one solitary individual, but Robinson has an offensive habit of translating easy-enough-to-understand things that Friday says to us, the idiot readers ("At which he smiled, and said - 'Yes, yes, we always fight the better;' that is, he meant always get the better in fight"). Also, during Friday's religious education, he asks Robinson why god doesn't just kill the devil and end evil, and because there is actually no good answer to such a question for a religious person, Robinson simply pretends not to hear him and wanders away. What a jack*ss! Luckily, Robinson Crusoe's religious conversion doesn't last forever. As soon as he's back in civilization and making money hand over fist, he pretty much gives it up. Speaking of which, what was with the end of this book? He gets rescued, he goes home, but there's no emotional payoff, and instead he goes on about his European adventures with Friday. We don't care about the wolves and dancing bear! We want to know, did you learn anything from your years away? Do you feel like you missed out? Was anyone happy to see you? Did they have a funeral for you while you were missing? What did your mother do when she saw you again? Robinson Crusoe is a man without any of the human characteristics that make people interesting to read about when they get into difficult situations. He has no regrets, no personal longings, and he never reflects on his life before he was on the island during his decades on the island. I understand that this is just an "adventure novel" but people actually still read this tripe and consider it a classic!

this book pointed me in a totally different direction with regard to how I was living my life. It was an eyeopener in that I could relate to so much of it and it helped explain why I wasn't moving on the way I wanted to in terms of growth. It was challenging and provocative and I return to it when I find life difficult or people just annoying! It doesn't always give me the answer I expect but it does expand my views of my perceived problem where often I am the problem not the other person! Very difficult to take but often very true.
I've read the Dorothy Sayers story already. And I think I'll save the rest for a more seasonal time.
