    The Great Gatsby

    Can someone tell me what happened to Myrtle's dog? Otherwise, a great novel. Enough has been said about it.

    The Winner Stands Alone

    Fame, Money, Power. Is it all worth it? Paulo Coelho examines these questions in this book.

    Moonraker

    A fun entry in the James Bond series, although I found the end (the escape, the foiling of the villain's plot) hard to picture in my head at times. Except for characters with the names James Bond and Hugo Drax, fans of the film will find very little similar to the movie.

    The Hell Candidate

    Another horror book that revolves around a presidential campaign is FEED (of the "Newsflesh" series). I did not think that FEED was anywhere near the same quality as HELL CANDIDATE.

      KinksRock: Other than a non-fiction book, such as one of the "Making of the President" series, or one of the Witcover/Germond books, I think that this is the most realistic book about an American presidential election -- despite the horror overtones. Our presidential campaigns and elections are every bit as manipulative as absurd as what is portrayed in this novel.

    The Road to Oz

    Still a fun series, although this entry felt a little tired, and a little too similar to the earlier entries. Dorothy has to find some weird way back to Oz and search for her way with a cast of strange characters, and, just about every chapter, runs into another weird individual or group, and the book winds down with a big reunion of all the characters we've met before. Meanwhile, Baum entertains us with his humor and some observations and quips that may amuse adults more than kids.

    Lincoln and Whitman

    Interesting parallel biography of Lincoln and Whitman. They don't actually meet, but influence each other. I'm more into history than poetry, and there is some discussion of Whitman's poetry and some passages from his poems. Add a star if you like both history and poetry, and then add another...
