Customer Review: In "Other People's Love Letters" Bill Shapiro presents 150 letters that are pretty interesting to read. He requested letters from everyone he knew and they in turn did the same. Some of the letters are about divorce and a few are especially honest about breaking up. However most of the letters seem... more info
Customer Review: I may be regarded as prejudiced but I have long followed the life and poetry of Elizabeth Bishop. This book not only solidified by love of her work but extended it.
Customer Review: "And you can also commit an injustice by doing nothing." -- Marcus Aurelius, from Meditations My sister loves this book, but I was never able to get into it until I found this translation.

Customer Review: It was not a favorite. I've Woody Allen stuff and the GL's may be great for a museum but does not create the "meat in comedy" I was looking for.

Customer Review: I am very pleased with the quality of this book. I watched the John Adams series on HBO and this makes a nice companion piece to that miniseries.
Customer Review: Well written history is a rare treat, and rarer still is a history by one who lived through it. Grant writes engagingly and humorously and with great humility for a man who achieved so much. That he wrote this in the throes of cancer, finishing it on death's door and yet has no sence of savig... more info
Customer Review: This is an excellent book for all those who like the challenge of asking many questions about their basic Christian convictions. The author's father, the skeptic, asked many important questions about the nature of God, the problem of evil, human freedom and sufering, the Bible, heaven and hell, sin,... more info
