Reading lists are as individual as
the persons making them. Some
people jot down book titles recon-
mended by their friends; others
Systematically look up printed read
ing lists or follow clues in the books
they read.
One informative and often de-
hghtful way to acquire a personal
reading list is to read books of lit
erary criticism. Elizabeth Drew, in
The Enjoyment of Literature, u
states that the function of criticism
is to send people to literature. With
that criterion she examines the
various types of literature and illus
trates, from the study of certain
masterpieces, something of what is
the unique interest and essence of
each. Books That Have Shaped
the World" by Fred Eastman. con-
talns essays on reading biography
the classics and drama. Each ESSAY
Is followed by list of important
books. John Macy, in The Story
OF the Worlds Literature" gives
simply and briefly an account of
the books that are deemed of great
est significance. ...

Prophecy, or what passes for it, al
ways becomes popular in times of
great trouble. Since the outbreak
of the war there has been a deluge
of books prophesying the downfall
of Hitler and his accomplices. 1t
is pleasant to read such predictions,
though, so far as is known, none of
them has yet resulted in the death
OF a single German, italian or Japa-
nese. The present volume is very
much like all the others, except that
it Is somewhat more specific. It
comes right out and says that "the
war will end in 1912, with Hitler's
death and the collapse of Nazism. I"
This is very gratifying, indeed.

enough to call for a second book on
the same topic. Unfortunately, this
second represents just that-old
ground recovered.
There are two types of books
about technical subjects-those
meant for the informed, professional
reader, and those for the lay reader
with no more than casual interest
and little knowledge. The only
woman ZOO director in the world"
has aimed her book at this latter
type OF reader. 1t is simple, per-
haps sentimental, account of my
own adventures with the apes, our
next of kim"
AS such, it is a very intimate day
to-day history OF the development
of few of the inmates of Mrs.
Benchley's zoo in San Diego, Calf.
The author aims to make us familiar
with the lives of these animals, their
relation to herself, their sicknesses,
their births and deaths. They seem
to love her with an almost human
devotion, and this fact, along with
many of her observations, Is used to
support her thesis that man is
phylogenetically the close kin of the
simian-an old theory, and one that
she doesn't present with any clarity
at all.
MY Friends, the Apes" cannot
stand as an example of good writing.
1t Is interesting in parts; in others,
it is needlessly repetitious. Com
pared with other books of the type
as, for instance, those by DR.. Ray
mond Ditmars-"My Friends, the
Apes" is second rate.

Nearer to Earth
By Beatrice Borst. (Randonl

House,
Though beautifully written in
parts, Beatrice Borst's first novel
leaves the reader with feeling
that the writing was wasted on a
character and events of little i'm
portance.
Karen Greenwald, heroine of the
long story of an American girl
OF the upper middle class, never
quite gets nearer to earth" as the
title implies. Rather does she stay
in the fairy-tale dreams of her
childhood right through to the last
pages of the book, when she is in
her middle 2Os.
For Karen, sensitive, shrinking
girl, never accepts the facts of
life, whether they be economic or
moral. Her Victorian mother
brought her up on the rigid, stulti-
tying code of 10Th century lady.
Karen lives in our day, but she
never outlves her mothers early
teachings of what is right and
proper. Consequently, one feels that
much OF her unhappiness-of which
there is plethora in the 422 pages
OF the books due largely to her
own narrow view of life,
She fails to grow up, despite the
hardening incidents Of financial dis
aster in the family, and two un-
nappy love affairs. But why she
1alls is never adequately explained
The book won the Avery Hop
wood Award at the University of
Mlcnlgan, where Miss Borst wrote
1t as part of her work for a masters
oegree. SUSAN B. ANTHONY. II.
