His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass

Seduction of Peter S by Lawrence Sanders
Seduction of Peter S was written by Lawrence Sanders and published by Berkley Book in 1983.

Like the Flowing River by Paulo Coelho
I never thought that a man can really be so profound and inspiring even in his daily life, until I read Paulo Coelho’s Like the Flowing River.

TAXI FROM HELL by Vladimir Lobas
Vladimir Lobas, a New York immigrant from Soviet Russia, wrote TAXI FROM HELL in the 1970s. It is hard to say what genre it belongs to… Traveling sketches are probably the closest in meaning. However, many top-managers speak about this book as a business-textbook. The more interesting it …

Ultimate Spiderman #3 Double Trouble
Ultimate Spiderman #3 “Double Trouble”
Here he is, the Ultimate universe’s Doctor Octopus!

In other words, any way the wind blows. He became an unfocused …

Nod House - Poems about African Peoples
“Nod House” Author Nathaniel Mackey, New Directions, 2012.
The book’s poetical offerings present in a rather side-long circular manner; and might I rightfully say: provides a scattering of African personages during, suffice it to say, five centuries of catastrophic events ranging from that of enslavement to specific events—”i.e. Hurricane …
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
Twilight is captivating yet disenchanting at the same time.
It is only captivating because it consists for a love story between a vampire and a mortal being. Growing up as a Korean-American, I can relate to it: The hardship of dating outside the common expectation.
In a romantic way, it …
Sundays at Tiffany’s by James Patterson
Sundays at Tiffany’s is in a round about way a James Patterson book, but somehow I completely missed it. The book itself came out a few months ago, but they never really publicized it. I was looking through the ads in the Sunday paper when I saw an ad …
Granny Dan by Danielle Steel
I recently decided to open myself up to reading books that weren’t quite what I am used to reading. I started with a romance novel and moved my way to the book I am reviewing: Granny Dan. I have always been told that Danielle Steel was a great writer …
