The Big Sleep
One of the greatest of the "gumshoe" detective stories of the 30s.

The Gunslinger: The Dark Tower
Good, but so relentlessly apocalyptic as to make it difficult to wade through. A well-told tale of far too much of the end of the universe.

Ghost Story
Alas, the film didn't do it justice. This book will suck you in, just trying to make sense of they creepy, incredible sequence of events. Pay close attention to those two sentences at the very beginning, …

Night Shift by Stephen King
Some of King's better short stories in this one! Includes "Jerusalem's Lot," the original short that became "Salem's Lot." (I don't have a copy with me, so I hope I remembered that correctly!)

The Four Agreements Don Miguel Ruiz
A fascinating philosophical treatise on a very simple way to live one's life. This is a book to be read and re-read, and discussed with others as each finds how his/her own life might change with the …

posted in Cafe Libri: Reviewing Books & More
Illusions
Easily absorbed wisdom of the ages, told in an amusing, mentally stimulating tale of a reluctant, modern-day messiah... just like any of us. Be sure to make note of the sayings in "The Messiah's Handbook" …

Book Cover
A human upgrade! Imagine jumping ahead in evolution by several degrees, in a single generation. Reactions to those who have somehow "caught" the upgrade range from curiosity to damnation and murder. A …

posted in Cafe Libri: Reviewing Books & More
The Handmaid's Tale
Complex, painful -- took me three tries to get through to the end. I cringe at the thought of how much of this fictional future is already here, and how much more could take place. A dystopian view of …
