Enchanted By Your Kisses
blah: This book is just lacking. I do not often say that romance novels are lacking depth, because too much depth more often kills them than not, but "Enchanted by your Kisses" is a book that is absolutely desolate of anything necessary to make [... more]

The Mysteries of Udolpho (Penguin Classics)
The Mysteries of Udolpho: real and imagined: On one level, this novel defies categorisation. Yes, the Gothic web of mystery and intrigue is obvious. And so too are the beautiful descriptions of nature, the struggle between good and evil, the noble acts [... more]

Physics (Oxford World's Classics)
Readable Aristotle is not an oxymoron.: I found this translation easier to read than other translations of Aristotle. It is much easier to unpack and follow, only the content needs to be wrestled with, which is a project in and of itself. It includes the [... more]

Sink your fangs into this one!: Out of these 14 stories, I thought 6 were excellent, 5 were quite good. 2 did nothing for me. A couple of caveats. These stories were written in the early 19th century. Atmosphere counted for a lot. If you've read a lot of [... more]
