Abao Ji abao — Written in the time of Dante's oppressive Divine Comedy, this set of 100 tales is irreverent, ebullient and completely refreshing. Boccacio populates his tales with as many sinners as Dante, but instead of condemning them, he sets pleasure, joy, adventure and forgiveness at the top of his list of Christian virtues. He uses his literature to proselytize a different sort of theology, and the result is still completely jarring centuries later. This book makes people who hate classics go "woah". It's dirty. It's novel (still). Not essential to understand Chaucer, but recommended. Big, contentious points include ambivalence or even approval of rape (a repeat victim comes to enjoy the act in one tale), incest and lots of other vices and crimes. So, even the drawbacks are fun on this one, right?

Onur Kulakoğlu onurkul9932 — *published on Mundie Moms on June 26, 2011* Jackson Pearce's companion book to last year's Sisters Red plays with the familiarity of "Hansel and Gretel" while using Jackson's own world of the dark and disturbing Fenris. A stop in a small town and an introduction to the local chocolatier, Sophia, leads Gretchen on a journey of not just self-disovery but also of resolution. The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Gretchen's own twin sister is somehow connected to the identical strange disappearances of young girls in Live Oak. And these disappeances appear to be linked to the Chocolate Festival thrown by the sweetly alluring Sophia. Jackson's world-building skills are well honed as she constructs the slow, hot days which build up to the festival. Just like Gretchen, I was lulled into the predictability of each day. I awaited the fragrance of the latest confections and happily watched romance develop between Sophia and Ansel. But just as I grew comfortable with the story, Jackson started to build an unexpected twist in Gretchen's character. And one that I liked a lot. Let's just say that Gretchen quickly became one of my favorite characters of 2011. Don't let the slow build-up and the sweet smell of candy fool you, there is one heart-pounding climax in those last 100 pages. And how Jackson resolves the mystery of the disappearing girls pays tribute both to the original folklore as well as her own Fenris mythology. This tale is not at all a sugar-coated fantasy but a story which will surprise you with its dark, romantic nature. I encourage all of you who enjoy a well-crafted, fresh take on a folktale to pour a glass of sweet tea and pick up Sweetly when it's released this summer.

Ting Shao tingshao — I loved the concept of this book, but the political undertone was actually pretty heavy - I think some of it could have been edited. Still loved it! And Gregory Maguire is a brilliant writer. I highly recommend attending the musical after reading the book - it's amazing!!

Mark Supremo _ark_upremo — I read a lot of Steinbeck as a teenager: East of Eden, Of Mice and Men, The Grapes of Wrath, The Pearl, Cannery Row, and a collection of his short stories. I bought Travels with Charley when I was 18 and took it to work one day, intending to read it at lunch, but got teased so badly that I began to leave it at home and eventually to neglect. "What kind of sissy crap is that yer readin'?" I was asked. I had a blue-collar job. What I didn't realize was that I had casually tossed aside what is surely one of the greatest travel narratives of all time. Steinbeck, aging and in bad health (his daughter said later she believed he knew he was dying) gathers up his poodle, Charley, and a bunch of provisions (including many bottles of booze) and heads off in his truck in search of America, and what he finds both delights and frightens him. Steinbeck's descriptive prose is unmatched. Here's a master writer showing off every now and again, just to make you wow. He characterizes Montana as "a great splash of grandeur," talks about the lanscape "shouting color," and relays the "excited crackle" of a fire he builds. But those are mere samplings; he can go on for whole pages, molding topography until the ear hears poetry and the mind sees a portrait. There's also a lot of ironic commentary that, sadly, you don't find much any more. He says that he was told that driving around the country with his dog might cause suspicion and curiosity. "For this reason," Steinbeck writes, "I racked a shotgun, two rifles, and a couple of fishing rods in my truck, for it is my experience that if a man is going hunting or fishing his purpose is understood and even applauded" Like Mark Twain's The Innocents Abroad, Travels with Charley: In Search of America is also a time-capsule, having been published in 1962. the same year he won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
