Starbucked: A Double Tall Tale of Caffeine, Commerce, and Culture

by Taylor Clark
- Rated 0 stars
“This is a fascinating book. This book is "about Starbucks", but its MOSTLY about our culture and the history of the success of Starbucks and what it is about our society and our current social conditions that have come together at just the perfect time to allow so many of us to be captivated by this coffee shop chain. It's not just coffee they are selling - they are selling us something that answers a deep emotional need. Like I said, it's very interesting. It's non-fiction, which I don't usually read, and I can't put it down.”

On Chesil Beach: A Novel

by Ian McEwan
- Rated 3 stars
“I didn't like this one at all but luckily it was a short read so didn't spend too much time on it. Personally wouldn't recommend it. I am about to read Atonement and hopefully it will be a better read.”

Nineteen Minutes: A novel

by Jodi Picoult

“Loved this book even though it's very disturbing it's also very current and indicitive of our violent culture today. Makes you more aware of how much we need to talk to our kids and listen to thier hearts.”

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

by Mark Haddon
- Rated 4 stars
“I thought this was a funny book but very interesting being written from the perspective of a boy with autism. You are drawn into his story and feel for all the trauma he has to deal with in life.”

The Almost Moon

by Alice Sebold
- Rated 4 stars
“I was debationg whether to finish reading this one. I'm about half way through so guess I'll keep plugging through since it can't possibly get much worse. Not my best choice to read the week before Christmas-pretty dismal.”

The Lovely Bones

by Alice Sebold
- Rated 0 stars
“While this was a tragic story I thought it was well written and I couldn't put it down. I just started reading her new book " The Almost Moon" and it is almost too disturbing to read and may end up in the non-read stack. If anyone has read this one yet I'd love the hear their thoughts.”
