by Joe Schreiber
Whenever a new SW book comes out, of course I&#8217;m going to buy it and read it, but when it&#8217;s written by a first-time SW author, I&#8217;m always hesitant.  Death Troopers is Joe Schreiber&#8217;s first.  It starts out great with a nice pace then quickly deteriorates into a story that [...]]]></description>

by Ben Mezrich
The title sums up the entire story, other than the how.  Don&#8217;t worry &#8212; this is definitely covered.  Unfortunately, and ironically, the story isn&#8217;t as well-told as the movie, 21, which it inspired.  It&#8217;s a quick read so it isn&#8217;t a huge waste of time, but the way the [...]]]></description>

What&#8217;s it like to raise a child who winds up wounding and murdering some of his high school classmates, including a teacher?  Is it because of your lack of maternal skills, maybe even a dislike of your own child?  Is it because he was born with an inherent malice so [...]]]></description>

by Patrick O&#8217;Brian
What in the world possessed me to read yet another book about a bunch of British guys on a ship (the Royal Navy) in the late 18th century, immediately after reading an edition of Joseph Conrad&#8217;s short story, &#8220;The Secret Sharer&#8221; (complete with representative works of critical essays), that&#8217;s also about a [...]]]></description>

by Joseph Conrad, ed. by Daniel R. Schwarz
Unless you&#8217;re a student of turn-of-the-century British literature and/or of Joseph Conrad, there is absolutely no reason to read this book.  &#8220;The Secret Sharer&#8221; is actually a short story about a newly-appointed captain on a British merchant ship who harbors (no pun intended) a supposed fugitive [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[directed by John Moore
As many of you know, on Friday nights in our household we order out and watch a movie.  Since it was just Halloween weekend, I wanted to see something that would really creep me out.  I don&#8217;t like watching scary movies by myself; Brian doesn&#8217;t really like watching them at [...]]]></description>

by Cormac McCarthy
I was looking forward to seeing this movie, since people only had good things to say about it, but then I discovered that the book came first.  And when that&#8217;s the case, I always read the book before I see the movie.  Though I&#8217;d never read Cormac McCarthy&#8217;s work, I [...]]]></description>

by Terry Brooks
Books tend to be better than their movie versions, and in this case, though the movie was released first, the book is still better.  I&#8217;m not a big sci-fi/fantasy lit. fan (except for Star Wars obviously, and Harry Potter I suppose), so I&#8217;m unfamiliar with Terry Brooks&#8217;s work, but it&#8217;s clear [...]]]></description>
