Less Than Zero 223 reviews
Bret Easton Ellis
Vintage, 1998
Ignore the movie version, read the book, it's (unfortunately) pitch-perfect
+ Disturbing on a couple of levels.
Ellis is an expert at chronicling the callow consumerism and nihilism of a particular breed of American wealth. He hits it here. These characters aren't at all overblown. They are incredibly shallow. They are exactly as shallow as they would be if they were actually alive. If you don't know people ...

Amazing Hair Cutting System
+ 15 years and still going strong

The Catcher in the Rye 2773 reviews
J.D. Salinger
Back Bay Books, 2001
Will stick with you
+ Best Banned Books Required Reading List
This is the kind of book that people of all ages remember their whole lives. It's indescribable how the story can sweep you off into Holden's life, the angst he feels, and the time in which he lived. Truly a great work that is worth reading if you have not and worth reading again if you have.

The Chocolate War (Readers Circle)375 reviews
Robert Cormier
Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2004
Catcher in the Rye meets the Lords of Discipline - Great Audio Version
+ Chocolate War
+ Warning to Teens Welcome to America
Robert Cormier's cynical, sardonic, nihilistic language in the Chocolate War evokes Catcher in Rye. The story itself shares many of the same tensions and violence of Pat Conroy's Lords of Discipline. This is beyond a young reader's book. It has an edgy tension that will captivate all ...

Believe it or not, I bought a case of unfrosted brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts as a Christmas gift! I couldn't find these in ANY grocery store in my area, so I was thrilled to see I could order these from Amazon grocery. There was a glitch with my order; instead of getting a whole case I only ...
