Yes, it's a textbook, but a very readable one. Of course, I loved this era of history anyways.

With this novel, Dogar has done a nice job of presenting the events of A Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank from the perspective of one of the other residents in the annex in which she and nine Jews hid away in Amsterdam. Pater van Pels, a 15-year-old who shares the annex with the four Franks, his two parents, and doctor. Many are familiar with Anne Frank and the events in the book because of reading her diary in school. Peter's voice not only allows the reader to experience what it might have been like for a teenage guy to be in this situation, but it provides further strength to Anne and the others when considering what they suffered through both while they were in hiding and, later, when they were captured and sent to various concentration camps. Dogar's writing style really pulls the reader into Peter's mindset, sharing his dreams and fantasy along with self-doubt as he lives the drudgery of existence in the annex. In the process, Peter (and the readers along with him) explore what it might be in humans that would create the situation they are all confronted with as well as question why God would force anyone, nevermind his Chosen Ones, to be confronted with certain destruction. Peter also shares what it was like to live with each of the other individuals in the annex with a particular focus on Anne. Peter and Anne have a particularly interesting relationship as he found her most annoying when they first met, but slowly the two grow into a closer friendship and feelings for each other. The horrors confronted in hiding in the annex are surpassed when Peter ends up in the concentration camps. While little is really known about his experiences in the camps, Dogar drew upon first-hand experiences of other Jews who survived the camps as she created her presentation. It is eerie and horrifying to read. The result of all of this is an amazing companion book for Anne Frank's original diary. Like the diary, the story is accompanied with updates about what happened to all of those who hid out in the annex, though the news is very sad since all but Mr. Frank died in the camps. This is another example of a work that could be used to present the Holocaust in a way that makes it more than facts and data ... it is human story of the fight for survival against all odds. Readers really do get a full sense of the horrors of the Holocaust.

Poorly-translated, mass-produced English signage in Japan makes for a hilarious final essay in this collection. Also, Sedaris really, really loves similes. Really.

White Teeth covers a lot of ground in its 448 pages-- a milieu of characters from interwoven generations, families, and cultures whose stories fly from Bangladesh to Jamaica to central Europe and back again to gritty North London. I loved the semi-chaos of the narrative; trying to fit the pieces together myself and discovering that Smith could connect the dots with much more flourish and humor. Since I lived in London, I especially enjoyed her lifelike city dialogues and her frequent place-name dropping. I felt like I was there. While I found the story completely entertaining, I didn’t enjoy Smith’s attempt to ground her uproarious tale with too many abridged philosophical insights on war, interracial marriage, love, history, drugs, immigration, heritage, religion, science, politics, colonialism, racism, education…the list continues. This combination of thin-sliced philosophy with topsy-turvy plot lines left me overwhelmed at times. But those shortcomings weren’t enough to keep me from enjoying and giggling my way through the book. Despite the occasional overzealousness of her debut, Smith is clearly talented, refreshingly unexpected, and always hilarious. I look forward to reading more of her work.

Coming Home is a short book that begins the ever famous Heartland series. It is a good begining and it does lure readers, whether they like horses or not. It really is for 9-12 year olds, although there are very sad parts, for example, when Amys mom dies or when she is in the accident. Although I think those parts are the climax of the book, I dont think I am spoiling it for anybody. I gave it four stars because although I did adore it in my incredibly horsey stage, I have read more books and found that the actual writing was a bit simple and could have been a bit more challenging. However, comparing Coming Home to other 9-12 year old books it has believable characters that young girls would only love to be and a nicely paced plot. Now that I look back on it, Coming Home really brought me into horses and I have to thank my friend who gave it to me. Even though I am older Coming Home is still part of our conversation and I think it will always be.
Ah, it wasn't really anything new.

I was interested in finding out more about the New Madrid earthquake fault and this book was recommended. The author wrote it about 100 years after the earthquake of 1811-12, so he had to depend a lot on the observations of the few people who had written them down. There were also not many people west of the Mississippi at that time, so any results there were virtually ignored. On top of all that, the author did this research and wrote this book for the government. Dry doesn't half describe the writing style. Nevertheless, I found it informative and interesting, particularly at the beginning and the end. The beginning lists many of the observations of people who had witnessed the on-going earthquakes of 1811 and 1812, amongst whom was the famous Audubon. The end included stories about the Mississippi and being on the river when the quakes occurred. Both were eye-opening. If (when?) we get more earthquakes like the ones of 1811-12, the more greatly populated areas will result in disaster.
I think these books may have been good when I was a child. I read them as an adult and didn't enjoy them one bit. They were just too childish to read for the first time as an adult.

I loved this book! Absolutely amazing!! I want to read it again and again!
With scripting languages replacing C as the easiest entry into the programming world, that big blue-on-white sans-serif C may not be as iconic as it once was, but as a place to get started with the C language there are still no better books than this one. K&R is admirably terse and clear--it's the Strunk and White of computer programming.
