 I was told there’d be cake [sound recording] : [essays] by Crosley, Sloane. Most of the essay collection is quite hilarious (skip weddings and past friends). posted Nov 2, 2010 at 11:21PM

 The golden compass [compact disc] by Pullman, Philip Fantastic yarn! Definitely a must read - and the complete trilogy because it gets even more sinister and harried for our protagonist, Lyra. The audio production features a full cast :)
Note: If you are sympathetic towards Christianity, it would not be a recommended read. posted Nov 1, 2010 at 11:01PM

 Iron & silk by Salzman, Mark. Salzman is from Minnesota and now works with helping juvenile offenders through the power of writing. The film based on the book is also excellent. posted Nov 1, 2010 at 10:52PM

 Dear Mr. Henshaw by Cleary, Beverly Read this book as a fourth grader and found it to be profound in the trials and tribulations of a child growing up with a father who he rarely sees and misses. posted Nov 1, 2010 at 10:12PM

 Memoirs of a geisha : a novel by Golden, Arthur Long before the film came out, I read this book and was disappointed. The disparity between the author’s experiences as an aged educated British man with being a young girl, let alone a feudal Japanese geisha, is far too great and account for the third person (rather cold) narrative. There is never a remote hint of outrage or anger toward her station in life, even initially - such as when she is sold or when she loses her innocence. It does go quite in depth into the politics within the geisha house, but how exciting can politics be? posted Oct 31, 2010 at 11:43PM

 Balzac and the little Chinese seamstress by Dai, Sijie One of the few books I have read in one sitting - it was that good. posted Oct 31, 2010 at 11:21PM

 The life and times of the thunderbolt kid [compact disc] : [a memoir] by Bryson, Bill. Oddly, the Iowan-born author has lived in the UK for so long, that he has acquired a British accent... but if you can overlook this, it is a remarkable childhood memoir. posted Oct 31, 2010 at 11:16PM

 The man who mistook his wife for a hat and other clinical tales by Sacks, Oliver W. Great clinical tales about humans behavior and the noggin. posted Oct 31, 2010 at 11:08PM

 John Adams. Part one, discs 1-13 / [sound recording] by McCullough, David G. The unabridged recording offers a wonderful reader and great tidbits and details that is lost in the abridged version. posted Oct 31, 2010 at 10:48PM

 Middlesex by Eugenides, Jeffrey. I simply can not stomach incest, so I had to put the book down before finishing it. posted Oct 31, 2010 at 10:28PM

 Perfect Blue (DVD)
I found this anime film to be quite distasteful and highly discourage viewing it. It features adult content that is appalling in its violence. posted Oct 31, 2010 at 10:02PM
