Book Favorite

"This is a recent Booker-winning novel with Tolstoyan ambitions that presents the horrors inflicted on Australian prisoners of war by the Japanese during World War II in Burma - and then turns around and gives us a compassionate portrait of the defeated Japanese. A book distinguished by its big heart and beautiful language."

Book Favorite

"A strange and beautiful book about the lonely souls and thwarted dreamers who inhabit a small Ohio town. There’s no sentimentality in Anderson’s vision, no nostalgia for middle America in a simpler time. Winesburg is a place where people are doomed to remain a mystery to their neighbors, and even to themselves."

The Undercommons: Fugitive Planning & Black Study

Book Favorite

"A series of co-written essays that set into motion expansive, mutinous, timely concepts, such as study, debt, surround, planning and the shipped. A difficult, beautiful, vertiginous, fortifying and enlivening piece of work that somehow makes the contemporary world, with all its horrors, seem worth being born into and living in, together."

Beautiful and wonderfully entertaining story and one of Pixars best.
It's funny and touching with a great message at its heart.
It's full of mayhem and contains sublime animation which helped Pixar elevate itself as a top drawer animated movie specialist that can easily compete with Disney and DreamWorks as the masters.

Absolutely beautiful, yet haunting book about a little girls experiences in nazi Germany. Her family are hiding away a Jew in their basement and Liesell is a touch of innocence in a mad ugly world.
Some of the perspective is from Death himself and it highlights the tragedy of the world wars.

I love the entire Sailor Moon series, and all associated Manga. This second volume of the two volume Sailor V Series is about Sailor Venus, prior to her and Artemis joining the Sailor Moon crew.
The art is beautiful, as always, and the new translation (new as of publishing), is really good.
