Readers are “the world's great nomads, if only in our minds,” claims Ms. Quindlen. “In books,” she says, “I have traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own. I learned who I was and who I wanted to be, what I might aspire to, and what I might dare to dream about my world and myself.” While those who do not consider themselves readers sometimes tend to look suspiciously on those of us who prefer the company of a thick paperback - “there is still in our culture something that suspects those who read too much, whatever reading too much means, of being lazy, aimless dreamers, people who need to grow up and come outside to where real life is, who think themselves superior in their separateness.” - Ms. Quindlen describes the sense of freedom and joy that drives readers back to the printed word over and over again. As a child, she says, “I did not read from a sense of superiority, or advancement, or even learning. I read because I loved it more than any other activity on earth.” Ms. Quindlen, so did I. In this slim volume, Ms. Quindlen briefly tracks the history of reading. Starting anciently with the Sumerians' “laundry lists” of livestock and slaves, through Ptolemy I's creation of the great library at Alexandria, she notes Socrates's disdain for books as they could only “remind one of what one already knows.” Please note: even the inestimable Socrates can be mistaken! Then to Gutenberg's press and movable type that opened religion to the masses, which spurred Martin Luther's quest for Reformation, and the Declaration of Independence that “fomented...a new way for men and women to look at their own government.” Indeed, “reading became a democratic act,” of which demagogues, tyrants and zealots are suspicious, even today. Nazis burned books, as did the Inquisition; slaves were often kept illiterate with the threat of losing a finger or two if caught with a book. Oppressive regimes around the globe and across time have banned, confiscated, and destroyed books (and beaten, imprisoned, or killed their owners) when those books presented an alternate view of the world than the one the totalitarian government wished to be presented without divergence or variance. “Ignorance was the preferred condition of the people by despots” and, I might add, still is. There are as many reasons for reading as there are books to read and people to read them. “Reading has as many functions as the human body,” including entertainment, expanding knowledge, decreasing isolation, and providing connection with our fellow travelers on earth. Who is to say only one of those functions is valid to the exclusion of the rest, or even that one is of more importance that the others? Ms. Quindlen's skepticism runs high towards those who insist on a “highbrow” definition of books worth reading and show disdain for what they consider “middlebrow” or “popular” literature, as they try to impose a false separation between “the literati...and the hoi polloi.” Her patience for those who would presume to ban books is likewise practically non-existent. Ms. Quindlen closes her book with a series of various creatively-titled “top ten” lists. 10 Books That Will Help a Teenage Feel More Human. 10 Books Recommended by a Really Good Elementary School Librarian. 10 Modern Novels That Made Me Proud to Be a Writer. After perusing these collections, my already overwhelming list of books I want to read someday grew by leaps and bounds. To sum up, I say in concert with Ms. Quindlen as she quotes Abraham Lincoln: “My best friend is a person who will give me a book I have not read.” What good company!

Well I actually really liked this book. An insight into the lives of some pretty nasty people. Really well written though, it was crude but I think it needed to be to be true to the characters. I'm glad I am finished now so I can put those characters to rest.

I liked this book a lot more than the last one. The mysteries are more realistic-sounding in these books, which I like. They kind of wrap around all of Kate Holly's problems and I like that about Hughes's writing style. I'm excited for the next one coming out. I like how these books leave me satisfied, but still wanting more.

I am saddened that Stieg Larsson is gone and there will be no more Elizabeth Salander books, but at least they did finish the all story lines in this volume. Now I am enjoying the movies.

Definitely not a YA novel as the main character, Lina, is 43 years old. Demeter decides Persephone needs some maturing and convinces Lina to make a body switch so her daughter can get Lina out of the money bind she is in with her bakery in Tulsa, OK. In exchange, as the Goddess of Spring, Lina will inhabit Persephone's body and spend 6 months in Underworld with Hades. Unlike the myth, Lina falls deeply in love with Hades. A delightful, spicy romance!

I laughed out loud and enjoyed the twist, even though I could see it coming, it still had a few things that I didn't guess. I would recommend for fast read. This is the first in the series and can't wait to see if the second will hold up to the same type of laugh out loud humor.

İncil'i kelimenin tam anlamıyla nasıl aldığını okumayı seviyorum. Çok güldüm ve bu keyifli kitabın tadını çıkardım. Dindar olsanız da olmasanız da bir düşünce bırakır. Şimdi dua etmesini ilginç buluyorum ve bu ona barış duygusu veriyor. Ne ilginç bir sonuç. Asla dinden hoşlanmadım ve Tanrı'ya inanamadım, bu yüzden bu kitabı çok iyi düşünmüştüm. Belli ki çok entelektüel ve yine de işleri normal yoldan yapmayı merak ediyor. Kurallara asla uyamam!
