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 ...

If you enjoy humor and Christian Satire "Lamb" by Christopher Moore is a great choice. I personally prefer his book "A dirty job" but this one is a close second.

Just finished reading a book by Tom Hanks (the actor), called "Uncommon Types: Some Stories". I really enjoyed it a great deal. It is a collection of unrelated short stories, although some of them do reuse the names of characters, although ...

For discerning and sophisticated Dr. Seuss fans, who, like me until last year, were utterly CLUELESS that before he wrote his first children's book, he wrote this book for adults in 1939, the same wild year that saw naked fairies in Walt Disney's ...

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 ...

Just finished reading "Becoming" by Michelle Obama. It is a very good autobiography, talking about her childhood and life up until her husband left the white house. It's a nonfiction book that will likely interest even those who only read fiction.

‘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...

Anyone here like Joseph Heller? You may be familiar with Catch-22, but have you read his other books, especially Something Happened? If anyone has read it, let me know. I would like to discuss it.

I'm about halfway through Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God. The story is good. The language and the writing are exquisite.

This book was on a freebie pile. Great read but my guess is that women will enjoy it more than men. It is written in the omniscient first person plural and I really think it added so much to the story. It is a really great story of sisters but also ...

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