The Killer Angels  

6 days ago by Keonyn

I’ve always been a bit of a Civil War buff, so it was only natural that I should read this book. After being a bit disappointed by my last read, I decided I needed a book that I knew I would enjoy, and this was the clearest choice when scanning my shelf of books yet [...]

Congratulations to Kavya Shivashankar for winning the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Watch this video by the incredibly talented and imaginative Evelien Lohbeck. Oh my goodness.

Sadly, no longer 95 cents  

69 days ago by Alisa

circa 1933 What I wouldn’t give for 95 cent books today. Of course, it’s not quite as good a deal as it first appears to the modern tightwad. In 1933, 95 cents was anywhere from $15.78 to $99.11 in today’s dollars. (Comparing dollars across the ages is tricky, see why here.) $15.78 makes this yummy ...

Open Letters Monthly on My Uncle Napoleon  

94 days ago by Chad W. Post

(When Byrn writes about the book itself. The stuff about today’s Iran is good, but this novel sound intriguing to me for other, more ...

#72 A House for Mr Biswas (1961)  

109 days ago by Widmerpool

[Sir] V[idiadhar] S[urajprasad] Naipaul I think it is pointless to condemn books solely because the writer was some variety of wretch. But I have done so if I think it will create a smoke-screen for the fact that I did not understand the book. If I liked it, I am inclined to be more relaxed, to make ...

#4 Lolita (1955)  

114 days ago by Widmerpool

Vladimir Nabokov Lolita is a Big Deal. Since the day it first appeared in its unobtrusive green wrappers it has given rise to a sustained, high-pitched keening sound — the sound of everyone freaking right out. It has inspired people to write essays with many words in them. It has inspired people to ...
