+ Palahniuk writes an eerie truth.

Upton Sinclair
CreateSpace, 2008
Great story, strong characters and a plea for social justice. Absolutely amazing!
+ Timely now
+ Why We Need Government Regulation
Published in 1906, this book is famous for exposing the unsanitary and disgusting practices of the meat processing industry in Chicago. I chose to read the original uncensored edition because I didn't want a whitewashed version. I was not disappointed. I got it all, in all its grisly details. ...

Strange little gem
+ Couldn't put it down
+ Fake Liar Cheat
I buy a lot of books for a buck a pop at a local thrift store. Most of them are so-so, but this one was a firecracker in a pile of duds.
This was short, fast paced, and funny, which was great considering how the main character's bucolic life falls down around his ears throughout the span of the ...

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1978
A powerful exploration of loneliness and helplessness!
+ The Odd Couple: a tragedy.
+ Gary Sinise is captivating
The tension and pathos in John Steinbeck's "playable novel", "Of Mice and Men" is palpable. It tells the story of George Milton and Lennie Small, two itinerant field workers in 1930s depression era California. Milton, a cynical, intelligent man, by a combination of habit, intent, solicitude, ...
