A stitch in time

This story takes place in India in the mid-seventies. The poverty is overwhelming and the government is brutal, yet the characters face their trials and tribulations with strength, courage and a sense of humour. An unlikely friendship develops between two tailors, their employer and the employer's tenant. It is a story of true friendship and a reminder of how important it is to nurture this type of friendship. The prose is delightful and the story is woven (stitched?) in such a way that a reader will hardly be able to put the book down for the last 200 pages.

I can't remember a more absorbing book. Crystal
Fire is the story of the humble transistor-because
of its invention, you are reading this on-line.
The authors not only write beautifuly, it's
obvious that in-depth historical research was
involved. The main protagonists won the Nobel
Prize for their achievement, but in many cases
were less than worthy human beings. But Crystal
Fire is a compeling, absorbing read. Please don't
miss this one. In fact, Crystal Fire would make
one helluva movie. Hello, Holywood?

I fell in love with The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. What an amazing book!! Rebecca Wells truly captured my heart with her words. She enabled me to identify with the characters because her descriptions of them were so real. It is a fabulous novel that all women should read because it discusses the complicated, yet wonderful relationships between mothers and daughters, sisters, and girlfriends. I give Rebecca Wells my praise.

I have loved this book for years, when we read it in my junior high class, now I'm a college freshman...it's remained one of my most valued books in my collection. What interested me into this book is how the character, Patty, hated her parents yet at the same time wanted their love...I can't explain it , I just know that you have to read this to get it. It's great...and the sequel "Morning is a Long Time Coming..." is equally as good!!!!

Book title: Line by Line : How to Edit Your Own Writing
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
This book is fantastic. It's only about 200 pages, but densely packed with useful information, and every single page deserves careful study. The glossary of commonly confused words at the end is worth 10$ all by itself. This is not a grammar book (though there is an appendix that gives an overview of English grammar). It is a book designed to improve your writing. It helps you make solid decisions about sentence structure, placing punctuation, and choosing the right words. This book can help guide you through some of the thorniest and most subjective aspects of writing English.One of the neatest things about this book is that, in addition to the copious examples, the text itself serves as an example of excellent writing. Perhaps the major drawback is that after reading this book, you will end up being much more critical of the writing you encounter!

An Interesting Introduction
Book title: The Nuclear Age
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
I was introduced to this book by my girlfriend, who picked it up randomly because she liked the cover. Turns out she loved the book, which inspired me to read it as well. This book ended up being a great introduction to O'Brien, in some ways lighter than many of his other works, but it still has of the undertones common to many of his books. Because Vietnam is not as key to this book as many of the other ones, I think it's more accessible to the general populace. So if you are weary about reading war books, you could pick this one up first, and if you like it, maybe move on to some of his other novels.
