The Shack 2 months ago

I picked up this book a few weeks ago because it looked interesting not knowing much about it or that it has been on the best seller list for a while. I enjoyed reading it and it has made me think more about my life and it’s priorities.



Marley and Me 4 months ago

I picked up this book while on vacation and I can’t put it down. It’s a great book for anyone who loves dogs!



Fast Food Nation 2 years ago

I’m reading “Fast Food Nation” now. It’s a very interesting and eye opening book. It tells how the fast food industry started and how it keeps us coming back. I’m about half way through so far.



Night by Elie Wiesel 2 years ago

I just finished this book. It’s a powerful first hand account of the Holocaust by Elie Wiesel. It’s hard to believe how the things he describes could happenen. How can someone send so many men, women and children to their deaths. Parts of it are hard to read especially when he describes how his father died and how he was afraid to go to his side. I can’t even imagine how that hard it would be to live through that. Everyone who thinks that the Holocaust never happened or that it couldn’t have as bad as it was described should read this book. I never doubted the Holocaust happened but this book gave me more insight on how terrible it really was.



And you know you should be glad 2 years ago

I just started reading this book. It’s by Bob Greene and it’s a true story about lifelong friendships. So far I like it. I’ll post a follow-up review when I finish it.



The Talisman 2 years ago

I read this book while I was on vacation last week. It’s a great beach book. Being a Stephen King fan, I really enjoyed it and it was hard to put down. I can blame some of my sunburn on the book. :)



Home Town 2 years ago

I’m currently reading “Home Town” by Tracy Kidder. It’s a book about Northampton, Ma. and some of the people that live there.
It’s a very interesting book. It means a little more to me since I live in Ma and go to Northampton often to go out to dinner and attend concerts.



The Gunslinger 2 years ago

I just finished reading The Gunslinger/Dark Tower by Steven King.
It wasn’t bad but it’s not one of my favorites. I’ve read quite a few of Steven King’s books. “The Stand” is one of my favorites.



In my father's court 2 years ago

I’m reading a book written by Isaac Singer right now called “In My Father’s Court”. It was recommended to me by a cousin in Poland. It’s about a Beth Din, or Jewish Court in Warsaw in the early 1900’s. It’s different but I find it interesting.



Untitled 2 years ago

I need to find the time to read more of the books I own and some new ones too. I did read The Divinci Code recently and enjoyed it very much. I’m reading a book called “1968” right now. It’s a slow read and I might not finish it.
