by Moorhouse, Jocelyn Russel Crowe was about 25 when he made this film but he looks like a teenager. It was so well done! I enjoyed this film and its story of a manipulating woman and male friendship. Don’t confuse it with the same title made in 2005 with Gwyneth Paltrow and Anthony Hopkins.

by Charlie Huston Adult Fiction HUSTON Was looking forward to this book, as I really enjoyed the Henry Thompson trilogy, and liked to a lesser extent the Joe Pitt Case files, but this was ok and was written in different style than the others. It was ok where I would recommend the Henry Thompson trilogy and Joe Pitt Cases, I wouldn’t highly recommend Sleepless, it reminded me a little like the story in

by McCarthy, Cormac Adult Fiction MCCARTH I am french but it was not so hard to read this book because the story is simple meanwhile the vocabulary is very rich. I had a really good time reading this book, because the autor explained clearly the difficulty to survive in an apocalyptique world, for example how to find fouod every day or how to sleep in the cold.
The relationship between the father and the son is very intense.
one of my best book.

by Le FanuJames Adult Nonfiction QH447 .L43 2009 While never invoking "God" or a Creator, Le Fanu makes a strong case for an intelligent universe, poking holes in the purely materialistic worldview wrought by Darwin's natural selection theory, the Human Genome Project, and the so called Decade of the Brain. With all the money and research facilities of Big Science operating full blast these past several decades, what have the Hubble telescope, electron microscopes, and medical imaging, for example, revealed: only deeper mysteries, further complexity, and a growing awareness of the Unfathomable at the heart of humankind. Though science may yet quantify how the babbling toddler acquires language, or how the Arctic tern navigates by the stars in its annual migration of 25,000 miles, some measure of the beauty and profundity of nature is self-evident, and Le Fanu is happy to remind us.

In this book Orbus, an Old Captain from the planet Spatterjay, travels with other fun characters to the Graveyard, a border area between Prador and human space where a cold war is being waged.

by Stephanie Laurens Adult Romance LAURENS Boring. I’ve always had trouble putting down a Laurens novel before. This one I had trouble picking up. In fact, with only 1/4 of the novel left I decided I just didn’t care and returned it to the library. Really, I just couldn’t be bothered to even finish the book. Boring.

by Anthony Burgess Adult Fiction BURGESS Should I be ashamed that I gave up on the book after two chapters? Burgess’s concocted language distracted me too greatly from continuing. I admit, through this language and cloud of the reader’s misunderstanding, the gruesome acts are easier to digest as we understand not the full gravity of the deed. I’m putting it aside for the long-term future.

by Lively, Penelope, 1933- Adult Fiction LIVELY This book relates the memories of six children, their parents, and their au pair during the years the children were growing up. The differences as well as the similarities are remarkable as are the characters, the dialogue, and the humor.
