(Language: English)
I started this years ago, and never finished it, so technically I'm still reading it. It was so long that I skipped forward to see what would happen. It was a horrible mistake that I will never make again. I hated the ending so much that I just couldn't bring myself to finish it.

(Language: English)
This is one of those books that once you pick up, it is impossible to put it down. It completely absorbs you into the adventure and you become emotionally attached to Ender. It's a great work of science fiction and the story is easy to follow. It's a great look into the expectations adults have of children. It shows what it is like to be an intelligent/gifted child, although it's of course exaggerated because it's a work of fiction.

(Language: English)
As a zombie lover, I adore this book. It's so funny. It's kind of the book by which I intend to live my life. Hopefully one day I will be as good a zombie as Jebus.

(Language: English)
Such a great Stephen King book. The content is really powerful. It's probably more frightening and discomforting than any of his strait out horror books because it all seems so possible

(Language: English)
I loved this book! It's one of my favorites. It's so funny and entertaining. I especially like all of the satirical asides the author makes.

(Language: English)
I love this series and this is one of my favorite books in the series because it really delves into Roland's past and the events that led his character to become the way he is. It helps to give the reader a more human side to him. It's a great continuation of the series and another page-turner.

ruby posted a review at 2010-05-25 11:33:37 for The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror, Version 2.0.
(Language: English)
This book is such a fun read. I's absolutely hilarious. I loved the zombies and how greatly they were portrayed. The absurdity of the dead coming back to life as a Christmas miracle was so wonderful. This one of those books that just serves as brain candy to relax your mind after some really serious/deep/educational/lengthy reading has melted it and rendered it unable to function.

(Language: English)
This was the first Stephen King book I ever read and it is what got me hooked on his writing. Although it's kind of different from a lot of his other work, the essence of Stephen King is still there and it's the same writing style. It shows King's side as a fantasy writer which honestly is kind of my favorite. The world it creates is so wonderful and so detailed that you can almost see it. It is also one of the books essential to understanding the references made in Stephen King's Dark Tower series. This is really one of my favorite books.

ruby posted a review at 2010-05-25 11:08:28 for Hamlet.
(Language: English)
This is definitely one of my favorite Shakespeare plays. It has the awesome extended soliloquies, numerous tragic deaths, and incorporation of ghosts and lunatics that Shakespeare loves. It's a classic and it's hard not to love it. I really love how violent, sexual, and inappropriate it is and the fact that many people often miss that.

ruby posted a review at 2010-05-25 10:59:47 for Waiting for Godot: A Tragicomedy in Two Acts (Beckett, Samuel).
(Language: English)
Such a great piece of existential literature, and like many existential works, it is absolutely absurd. The plot line runs around in circles, the characters don't evolve, and very little of it makes sense, which is why it is so unbelievably entertaining. It can really frustrate certain people because of it's unconventional format, but I really enjoyed reading it.

(Language: English)
I love this book so much. It was my source of inside jokes with my friends for half a year after we read it. It's so well written and it's such a great social commentary on government control, and social classes and a great look into human psychology. It is also a pivotal read when it comes to discussing politics because somehow or other a reference will eventually be made about this book, and unless you've read it you'll have no idea what people are talking about when they mention thing like "Big Brother". My favorite theme in the entire book though was dealing with sanity and what happens to the sane person in the insane world. It doesn't matter how accurate or logical you are, if all of society's convinced that "2+2=5" and you say it's four, you become the abnormal one.
