• Alice's Adventures in Wonderland finished

  Not a child's tale. I had read Alice in Wonderland many times, but it was not until I had fully matured that I actually understood it. Always thought Alice was on a bad acid trip; only to discover she had been dreaming under a tree. Too funny. I posted this on 16 June 2009

• The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin finished

  Full of fun facts. I really enjoyed this account of Ben Franklin; however, the book does not go far enough. It does wet your appetite to learn more about old Ben though. I posted this on 16 June 2009

• The Path of the Law finished

  Full of law stuff. Having a law degree, I found this book very interesting. For those who are not familiar with law and its terms, it is most enlightening. I posted this on 16 June 2009

• Book Sampler: Best of Brit Lit suspended
• The Best American Humorous Short Stories unread

  Hard to follow. If you decide to read these short stories, get longer installments so you can follow them better. I gave up after 60 installments. Too hard to read the old way of writing. I posted this on 13 January 2009

The Path of the Law - a classic

A good primer for those who have not studied the law and for those of us who have.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Not what I expected..

It was just a short story. The movie was only loosely based on it. I rather hope the movie will be better.
