Book Reviews

Reading? You mean, you find time to READ? So? What're you reading?


Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. It's an autobiography pretty much, but told through the eyes of the author at various points in his life. Very dark and sad, yet written very lightheartedly for a story about life in Depression Era America/Ireland for a poor Irish family. Won the Pullitzer Prize and I think there was a movie made about it, but I never saw it. John Lindsey
Me Talk Pretty One Day -David Sedaris
The Water Is Wide -Pat Conroy
Confederates in the Attic-Tony Horwitz
For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway, about an American in the Spanish Civil War. Best book ever.
Two Rivers by Naomi Williams
Great book set at the turn of the century
The Trial - Franz Kafka
The Stranger - Albert Camus
catch-22 joseph heller is wonderful!!!!!!!!!so is big trouble by dave barry and the hitchhiker's guide by douglass adams.

The Fountainhead is the best book in the world. Its a long, really good read. It is very philosophical with deep characterization and an interesting storyline. Also, it is a plus if you are an architecture major, but definitely not required.
Read "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole. It is so hilarious and so well written. Both tragic and comic.
Sword of Truth Series, by Terry Goodkind.
Jack Kerouac: "Dr. Sax and the Great World Snake." A screenplay based on his novel, Dr. Sax. Includes 2 cd audio performance, and illustrated manuscript.
God I love to read... hopefully this summer I'll get a chance to do some more...Atlas Shrugged, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and Mother Night (Vonnegut) are some of my favorites...I hate Jane...(Bronte book), and I either love or hate most of Vonnegut's books; currently I'm back on a fantasy kick and have been reading the Chronicles of Amber (which are excellent)

Anyone thinking about going into medicine should read "First Cut: A Season in the Human Anatomy Lab." It tops my list!

"I like the book "The American Revolution" written by John Richard Alden. The book has made a detailed description of the American Revolutionary War. Also, the poignant writing style provides the reader with an almost realistic image of the historical period. As I was reading, I became so engrossed that I actually thought I was one of the soldiers in the book. Even the shrillest sound would not have disturbed my mind."

1776 by David McCullough: I read this book over the Thanksgiving holiday and it was excellent. The book covered an incredible array of information on our first year as a country without seeming like a textbook. I would definitly recomend it. Chris Dempsey
The Perks of Being a Wallflower – Its a really good quick read. You wont want to put it down and it can easily be read in one Saturday. The Lovely Bones is good too – well at least until the end...that part sucked but the rest was good. Leyna Palmer
Harry Potter...best 6 books on the planet
Slaughterhouse 5 (Vonnegut), anything by Laurel K. Hamilton, ATale of Two Cities, Little Women...all amazingly good books.
The Road to Serfdom by F.A. Hayek - Written in context to past events, but still extremely insightful. A great read
Accelerando, by Charles Stross - absolutely fantastic sci-fi thing, about a future that, quite frankly, I want to live in. It's available both in print form and as a free download from www.accelerando.org.
