Ruined by Lynn Nottage
5.0
This is a powerful play. There is nothing extra in the words, and that stark realism is a pain filled beauty.
Depraved: The Definitive True Story of H.H. Holmes, Whose Grotesque Crimes Shattered Turn-Of-The-Century Chicago by Harold Schechter
3.0
If I was researching Holmes this would have been 5 stars easy. But I found myself falling asleep to some of the excruciating detials of dates, names, etc.
Black Water by Joyce Carol Oates
4.0
A powerful little story: Brilliantly structured, with a powerful message.
Never Have Your Dog Stuffed: And Other Things I've Learned by Alan Alda
4.0
Alan Alda has been a personal hero of mine for as long as I can remember. This book read like I was chatting with him over coffee. Essentially it is a great 'beach read' or if you are in need of some fatherly advice. And an added bonus is his full proof system of winning at gambling.
Blindness by José Saramago
2.0
The first hundred pages of this novel were enthralling. The last two-hundred were about as enjoyable as reading about two-hundred pages of streets filled with runny fecal matter. And the ending was horribly obvious.
Night by Elie Wiesel
5.0
This is another book I read originally in high school, and again, the anguish and passion are just as searing as the first reading.
