Come take a journey. Go on a diversion. Travel the paranormal way. That is the theme of Enthralled, an anthology of stories by sixteen paranormal authors. As a teacher, I've gone on hundreds of field trips. Therefore, that's why my very favorite story was "Giovanni's Farewell" by Claudia Gray. Twins, Cairo and Ravenna, are on a field trip in Rome. sidenote: Gray provides intriguing details such as Cairo and Ravenna are named for the cities where their parents met and honeymooned. When the story ended, I was so disappointed -- wanted more! Some of the stories are set in the worlds the authors have created in their full-size books. That made it difficult to follow what was going on. But it is a great way to meet their characters and be introduced into their worlds.

I loved the book. I actually liked the heroine and hero. I found the story intrigueing and characters excellent. I got a semi literary erection but not full hard on where i was humping the book!

A good, solid fantasy novel. I'll definitely read the rest in the series.

Brian M. Fagan's The Little Ice Age is a fascinating general history of Europe that focuses on the role of climate change (specifically, the five and a half centuries of extreme cold and unsettled weather that affected Northern Europe from 1300 to 1850.) The book is strongest when Fagan focuses the early parts about the Medieval Warm Period and the abrupt changes in that occurred in the 14th century; the later chapters are more cursory, although the history of agriculture in 18th century France and the failure of grain harvests in the late 1780s provided a fascinating background to the French Revolution. This is a kind of historical writing that I love because it is about the lives of the majority of individuals, rather than the "great man" school of history that focuses on a few exceptional individuals. I think it's safe to say that the lives of peasants in medieval Europe were indeed "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short" - a welcome corrective to a sometimes romanticized view of the past.

A must read...a little dated in context on some topics but still there is a lot to be learned from Lewis' approach to the Christian faith.

I liked Ondaatje's writing style. Very smooth, the sentences flowed well. I think that's what kept me engaged, because I wasn't really that drawn to the story itself.
ALADDIN’S LAMP: HOW GREEK SCIENCE CAME TO EUROPE THROUGH THE ISLAMIC WORLD BY JOHN FREELY: John Freely takes on a subject he clearly already knows a lot about, having written books on Istanbul, Turkey, Crete, and a good portion of Asia Minor. In Aladdin’s Lamp he goes into extreme detail in revealing how we are today able to enjoy the Greek classics of Plato, Homer, and many others. While the book at times takes on an almost classroom-like routine with chapter after chapter, throwing more information in an almost dry, regurgitative sense; Aladdin’s Lamp is nevertheless a very interesting book into the history of the classics and how they survived. Freely begins at the beginning, perhaps going on for a little too long, but clearly relishing in telling the reader about some of the great works of the Greeks, with the likes of Archimedes, Plato, and Pythagoras, and what it is they found out in a time when science was a barely flourishing discipline. While on the one hand these were some amazing people who were able to come up with standards of architecture, and a surprisingly close approximation of the circumference of the Earth, Freely needs to get on with the reason for writing this book, and not give us a history lesson on Ancient Greece. The first third of the book done, Freely finally goes into the next chapter of the Islamic world, how Baghdad was a paradise of the world that flourished with culture and literature. It was because of a number of circumstances, and the constant mixing of peoples with trade from throughout the Western World, that these sacred texts were first preserved after the fall of the Rome and then the Byzantine world, and then translated. While the information may be overbearing at times and Freely lacks in a certain storytelling quality of making the book as enjoyable as some other works of nonfiction, Aladdin’s Lamp does provide insight into the turbulent times of the early Middle Ages, when civilizations and countries rose and fell within the blink of an eye, while culture and literature and science was kept – at times in secret – to be read and enjoyed by future generations.
