‘Also sprach Zarathustra. Ein Buch f’r Alle und Keinen’ is one of Nietzsche’s most controversial works. Part poetry, part parody, the book is, as a matter of fact, a philosophic dissertation and what I’ve discovered rather with amazement is that the book addresses questions I wouldn’t dare to ask …

The new half price bookstore is a definite hit. I love the traditional bookstores but this place is ten time better. What makes this store unique from any Borders or Barnes and Noble is that they get their stock from their customers. Half Price Books purchases your …

I read Dan Brown’s Digital Fortress shortly after it was published. It was my first encounter with the author and, if it weren’t for all the hype around the Da Vinci Code, I probably would never have read another.

Eldest is the second book in Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance trilogy. Unfortunately, this book was a major disappointment.
