Gentleman's Agreement

This is the book that the famous Gregory Peck film is based on and frankly I like the movie just a smidge better because in the movie Phil's anger is spread a little more equally between his friends/family and the outside world, whereas in the book he focuses his frustrations mainly on the former.

The Silver Star

***Spoiler Alert***

So this was a book that I read for a book group that I intended to join, but didn't for...reasons.  So just so my having read it doesn't come as a total loss, I see no reason why I can't post my review of it here.  I really liked it because it was a modern melodrama in that it followed one of the major rules: evil must be defeated.  Now in actuality the villain would not have been defeated, but I'm obviously not complaining that he was because he was so palpable that nothing short of death would have stopped him.

The Little Prince

I'm shocked to hear that this book is taught at colleges and also that it is widely not considered a children's book.  True, it does touch upon some very adult concepts but in a very juvenile way.

With Queens I've A La Carted

I once belonged to a wonderful book club that is now in the midst of becoming defunct and needless to say, I'm far from ready to stop discussing great books.  Hence why this blog was created.  First review coming shortly (/shortly I'll be dead\).
