My own Squarefoot of Happiness
I bought this book searching for a new way to garden, The soil where I live is poor mostly clay and huge rocks! It was wearing me out. I gave up 5 years ago and just grew container tomatoes and flowers. I found wood, four 6 foot planks for 20 bucks at lumber store. (on clearance). I bought some angles and put them together. I followed the directions most of the time but I found culivated soil ...

A breath of fresh air!
This book is absolutely wonderful. It is full of mystery and ghosts. A modern gothic novel. The author's descriptions of what happens when reading are all too true. This is a book I will gladly recommend to everyone and I can't wait for the author's next book.

What Happens To A Dream Deferred?
Produced in 1959, A RAISIN IN THE SUN was the first Broadway play written by a black woman: Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965), a memorable author who based the central story on an incident that occurred in her own family and which eventually evolved into a landmark Supreme Court ruling in 1940 as Hansberry v. Lee. The play presents us with three generations of the Younger family: the widowed ...

Villainy as art
The most beautiful aspect of the play is Iago's ingenious deception of Othello. In every phrase, Iago knows just what to say to swing his Moor closer to the belief in Desdemona's infidelity. The subtle strategist to his general (and the puppeteer to Roderigo and Cassio), Iago is in full glory practicing his art of insinuation. Iago is the master of duplicity: "Divinity of hell! When devils ...

If you want to read Shakespeare its has to be The new folger Library
If you ever thought about reading Shakespeare but was turned off or intimidated by the old english, not so with the new folger editions. Your basically reading the play on all the right sided pages , with the left pages reserved for all the definitions and explanations of the sayings and words that might be dificult to understand. This makes it very easy and enjoyable to read.

Yale's may be the best edition of Macbeth
Virtually all editions of Macbeth will have at least some annotations. Rummaging through five different editions, I preferred the Yale University Press version, edited by Burton Raffel, as having the most comprehensive and comprehensible notes, as well as an excellent introduction to Shakespeare's play. Raffel not only explains the meanings of obscure words, but also gives brief notes pertaining ...

Can Love Conquer All?
Innocent love is the most pure... and the sight of those who are in that beautiful whirlwind of its hypnotic clutches is a sight to behold. Is it true? "Is youth wasted on the young." Sometimes, sometimes not. Romeo and Juliet is the most known western love story of all time. Why? This is not an easy question to answer, however, personally, I would never go back to those extremes ...

A wonderful book!!!
I was in 4th grade when my mom first forced me to read this book with her. I did not want to at all, because I thought it looked stupid. Luckily, she didn't give me much of a choice. If she had, I never would have read one of my favorite books or discovered one of my very favorite authors! Really, everyone should give this book a chance! I am now in my 20's and will soon be a teacher. It is a ...

Tough to read, tough to put down
This is a story about cruelty and evil. Since it's about a school shooting, you'd assume the bad guy is the one with the guns. Think again. What the shooter does is unforgivable, killing 10 kids and hurting many more. But he acts more as a reaction to cruelty and evil than because he is naturally that way himself. Everyone has, at one time or another, felt like an outsider, like they don't ...

Smudged powdered doughnuts!
If you have scored this book anything lower than 5 stars, you have temporary insanity! Picoult engages the reader from the very first page and does a phenomenal job going from different characters which share the same story lines: Jamie and Maggie; Allie and Cam; and Cam and Mia. For the book's length, I was surprised on how well developed the story took place and my lack of boredom from ...

Ill met by moonlight, proud reader?
I must say that until I saw a simple, highschool play of this particular work, I was deathly afraid of SHakespeare, thinking it boring and only something for people over fifty to discuss and teach. WEll, i was wrong. This particular story brings in classical characters from Greek Mythology, such as Theseus and Hyppolita (sorry if I butcher her name...lol) as well as the regal Titania and ...

The Power Of Language
Julius Caesar is murdered very shortly into this play so while he bears the title the play is about the conspirators and the supporters of caesar and the struggle for power that comes after his asassination. The power of language to persude the masses and the fickle nature of crowds are only a few of the themes that Shakespeare explores. Shakespeare explores the nature of tyranny, politics and ...

"Come, kiss the book!"
As Shakespeare's final play, The Tempest is appropriately a culmination of his motifs and themes amassed beforehand in previous work. You have the jester, the underhanded political aspirants, the outcast, the young naive fools hopelessly in lust, and the omniscient schemer behind it all. What may have disappointed Elizabethan audiences may have actually been this mix, since it was such a ...

tantalizing
This book was a treasure to read.. It was full of twists and turns. Jody Picoult writes with such compassion for people who are victims of a judgemental society. She forces you to re-evaluate your own misconceptions of human errors.
