DISCLAIMER:  I had to read this book for a historiography class, so it wasn&#8217;t my idea, for one thing.  Also, the point of the assignment was to learn as much as I could from skimming/reading really fast, so portions of the book were skimmed over. 
The title of this book caught my eye [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

Dekker has written some of the best Christian novels in the last few years.  Strangely though, he seems to be going more esoteric and confusing in his books.  For example, check out his Circle trilogy.  (Disclaimer: I&#8217;m not responsible if you neglect your daily duties or lose sleep after becoming engrossed in [...]]]></description>

This is probably the most widely read piece of philosophy to come out of England, and understandably so, because its also a very interesting novel.  In the story, More meets a man who just got back from the perfect country (Utopia), and the bulk of the novel revolves around the people and customs of [...]]]></description>

Plot:  “Ever” is a story much like that in the Bible, in the book of Judges, where a man in battle promises G-d that he will sacrifice the first person that greets him if they win. Well, in the Bible, they win the battle and when the man returns home; his daughter comes out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This isn&#8217;t a book review in the traditional sense, mostly because I am not certain I want to tell people what I just read.  We&#8217;ll get back to that.  What I did do was this: I explored two genres that I have traditionally frowned upon and was surprised at my findings.
First, was anime. [...]]]></description>

No, not the movie.  This is a book about the supreme court and its destruction of the American Representative Democracy.  One reads 1776 with its uplifting view of American governance and then picks up Levin&#8217;s Men In Black and finds a dark story of an oligarchy destroying American self-governance.
There aren&#8217;t many books that [...]]]></description>

In a story reminiscent of Rebecca (due to the focus on Menley&#8217;s feelings, emotions and marital struggles), Clark leads on from one suspenseful chapter to the next.  This is great summer reading.
The leading lady, Menley Nichols, may or may not be chasing ghosts of the distant past, but she is certainly chasing the ghosts [...]]]></description>

Book three of the Alex Rider series.  Alex Rider is British, and really, he shines in England.  Something about the interactions across the pond seem to flow naturally and be so lifelike I can see the book unfolding in my head.  Once you add Americans into the picture, its another story.
