question:
The People You Meet . One of the joys of reading fiction is in the people you meet on the way. The truly great books have you almost grieving for the characters to whom you must say goodbye as you close the book. So it is with The Gold Bug Variations - I miss Ressler too. You'll read the prose that approaches poetry, the virtuosity, the contrapuntal style (not contrapunctal, as one reviewer put it), and the breadth of subject material. All of these delight and dazzle, but with Ressler, Powers reaches the heart

question:
A Charming Children's Book . I loved Richard Peck's 'A Year Down Yonder' it was sweet, funny, cute, and well written. I have been made a deffinite Richard Peck fan from reading this book, it's the first one of his books I've read. 'A Year Down Yonder' is about Mary Alice Dowdel, who has to leave her Chicago home to go live with her Grandma in Louisiana, when her father loses his job. Mary Alice is at first skeptical about living in this small town with Grandma Dowdel, but soon she realizes that Grandma is more than she appears...... and after that you'll just have to read the book. You don't have to read 'A Long Way From Chicago' the preceding book to 'A Year Down Yonder' to understand it. So, please enjoy 'A Year Down Yonder' by Richard Peck

POS

question:
A New Classic for Years to Come . "Don't Play In the Sun" by Marita Golden ***5 Stars This is a very disturbing subject, especially if you are lightskinned like me. Luckily, Marita Golden handles it with a lot of tenderness and care for others. I liked Marita Golden's book more than The Color Complex, because her life story gave it a specially intimate dimension. I would recommend this along with anything by Kola Boof, an Ethiopian author who has really been bringing this subject up in ways that literally stop the blood in your veins. Her novel "Flesh and the Devil" breaks this issue down but it's not for the squeamish. She's like Hardcore compared to Marita Golden and most authors I've read. I'm going to read "The Bluest Eye" next. "Don't Play In the Sun" is a NEW CLASSIC. People will be reading this for years.
