(Language: English)
   
Had much more to do with weight loss than I expected from his program on Oprah Radio. Still, I picked up some very good insights, as well as a good idea of how to rearrange my kitchen to make cooking more convenient and fun. One suggestion: Give up TV for a month! Can I do that? Hmmmmm.

(Language: English)
Add Anne Proulx prose pretentions to an asinine post-apocalyptic plot and you get a book that I couldn't read beyond the prologue.

(Language: English)
Whenever I feel "broke" I pull this back down from the shelf. The book always seems to change my perspective to the point where something miraculous happens.

(Language: English)
Niven's ideas are usually better than the writing. This book has interesting ideas on the nature of life, the burden of immortality, xenophobia, and the human position in the universe.

(Language: English)
Great when I was seven. Great today. The wonder of children's books is that the text alone is just half the fun, just as plays are better performed than read.

There are better version. Still one of the greatest spiritual books of all time. Wish I was better at following its wisdom.

(Language: English)
If as many people who talk about it would actually read it they would see it's more frightening and tragic than they imagine.

(Language: English)
How evil triumphs subtly. Most see it as a portrayal of the Soviet system or, perhaps, Nazi Germany. It's more a parable of how those in power seem to cushion their lives through the sacrifice of others. It may be as apt a description of Wall Street as Red Square.

(Language: English)
I've read that Dickens acted out his books in readings. I think an actor's mind, as Dickens and Shakespeare, must be the explanation for the amazing variety of unique characters.

(Language: English)
Sometimes I think this is the saddest book in the English language.
