A favorite book of mine, and one that I've read more than once over the years is Kurt Vonnegut's 'Slaughterhouse Five or The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death', his beautifully honed reminiscence of surviving the 1945 Allied firebombing of ...

Don't take this as a criticism, but not every voracious reader likes to feel quizzed (I had to Google the MC1R thing, never having had red hair or even known anyone with red hair). But if you want a very tiny book group, sure, go ahead. I read so ...

I recently re-read a book by John Green called "The Fault of the Stars", which is about some kids who all have cancer. It is surprisingly entertaining and not relly a downer kind of read, but fun and a little adventurous.

My favorite Philip Roth book was The Plot Against America...a vision of a fascist America that I'm afraid is fast becoming a reality. Anyone else?

‘It’s an astonishing career. I can remember when 'Portnoy’s Complaint' was the book that everyone identified him with. He was very much part of that great outburst of liberation, freedom and erotic excitement of the 60s. He was the head of that...

I'm in the middle of Jordon Peterson's 12 Rules For Life. It's a solid read. It seem quite harsh sometimes when it deals with negativite people. The harshest chapter so far was Chapter 5 - Do not let your children do anything that makes you hate ...

My favorite book story: when it first came out, I became instantly and complete absorbed in Stephen King's IT. So scary. I carried it everywhere, which was a big deal as it weighed about 30 lbs. So I'm on the 7 train in NYC and when it stops at ...

Anyone have a favorite antidote book? Something that bucks you up when you're feeling nasty? I love the novels of PG Wodehouse, Tom Sharpe and the essays of Dave Barry. Anyone else have suggestions?

Got a book (or poem, come to that) you consider particularly erotic? I think I'd go for Anais Nin's 'Delta of Venus'.
