Ian Rankin - Knots and Crosse book

Thus Spake Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche
Thus Spake Zarathustra is one of the most lyrical books of philosophy ever written. It is famous (or to some, infamous) for its assertion that “God is dead.” But of course, there is more to it than that simple statement appears to convey.
Thus Spake Zarathustra encapsulates nothing. …
Strong Poison by Dorothy L Sayers

Comic Book Character: The Penguin

Mexico: A Novel by James A. Michener
I greatly admire James A. Michener’s writings, and I consider “Mexico” to be one of his best novels.

“Jennie Gerhardt” by Theodore Dreiser or how to love everyone but yourself
I love, love, and will continue to love reading. No Internet or e-books can replace a tattered volume with exciting content. Recently I reread something by Dreiser, namely “Jennie Gerhardt.”

Journey of the Prodigal: A Parable by Brennan Manning book
I had high hopes for this book. After all, Brennan Manning’s “The Ragamuffin Gospel” may not have been the best written book out there, but it still had a lot going for it in the realms of depth and insight. Manning’s “Journey of the Prodigal,” however, quite frankly struck …

Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi, 2013 Book, (Shatter Me #2)

Puppet is the first book I’ve read by Joy Fielding. I liked it very much. Like “Lost” that I reviewed earlier, I’d call it a women’s thriller. It doesn’t depend just on action for it’s suspense, There is considerable character development and the reader spends a good deal of …

The Crimson Tide book
In spite of its title, this book has absolutely nothing to do with the fairly recent film, so do not be misled! Instead it is another entry in Puffin’s original range of Fighting Fantasy gamebooks. This was number 47, coming out in 1992, and by this time there was …
