My review
Wonderful version of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Full of illustrations and side notes, the side notes are probably longer than the actual text. They contain a wealth of information about the origin of ideas, lines, characters, and how these tales came to be.

One of the greatest, wittiest, and funniest books I've ever read. This is one of those books that I can read over and over again, and still find it incredibly enjoyable. I must have read this book 20 times by now and I still love it.

An excellent edition of Vonnegut's first classic novel. Leather-bound with silk page markers and gold trim, and also includes a signed certificate of authenticity. The only drawback is that this edition is so nice, I don't want to ruin it by actually opening it. Luckily I have a paperback copy for that, and this edition looks great on my bookshelf.

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell     Jun 25, 2007

My review
An absolute gem of a novel, about two rival practisers of magic in victorian England. Susanna Clarke crafted an incredibly rich and detailed universe and history for her characters, and the prose is wonderfully written. A little like Jane Austen combined with J.R.R. Tolkien.

probably my favorite of vonnegut's novels, which is saying a lot. the tale of ice-9 and bokonism, it has vonnegut at his wittiest best, and contains great insight into society, religion, and science.

Great story told from the point of view of a fifteen year old autistic boy. Very warm, funny, and moving tale as he tries to figure out who killed his neighbor's dog.
