Out of the nine books I read by Heather Graham recently, I think this is one of the scariest. And it’s not just the endless cornfields pictured on the cover or the fact that a serial killer is leaving bodies on the posts meant to hold scarecrows, either. It’s …

I have read the book ‘Hindu Goddesses’ by David R Kinsley. As the title suggests, this book is about the hindu goddesses. In this book, the author has not written anything devotional about the goddesses. He has not written anything based on the religious point of view. He has …

First off, the new movie is not even closely related to the book (which many people fail to understand since the movie is made to be a sequel to the original Alice in Wonderland). I have to say it was a very difficult book to read if you do …

The Perishers Dotty Dictionary is one of those books (and for the most part a fairly representative example of the genre) in which a list of mildly difficult - for children, anyway - words is given new and sillier meanings. However, I do think that this one is a …

I recently read Henry Ford’s book “My life and work”. The book was written in a very businesslike and substantive manner, with no goofy deviations. “Pouring water” is not his method, only a businesslike approach and proper expenditure of resources, whatever it is: time, money, words.
It is …
