"The value of laughter, always sky-high for me, has gone beyond gold. I recommend anything by Dave Barry—especially, for those who get the jokes, the recent A Field Guide to the Jewish People by Barry, Adam Mansbach, and Alan Zweibel."

"Of course, the black body exists within a wider black culture — one Hurston portrayed with grace and insight in this seminal novel. She defies racist Americans who would standardize the cultures of white people or sanitize, eroticize, erase or assimilate those of blacks."

A truly great read. The books devels into a very raw topic, that seriously divides people and shows both sides of the arguement, the thoughts of those pro choice and those pro life, while at the same time telling a wonderful and moving story that really engages the reader. I couldn't put this down

Best musical yet!
This is by far one of the best musicals I have ever seen (and have watched many times already). The songs are those that most people can relate to as well as the characters being entertaining throughout.

"I moved to New York in 1982, and I didn’t know any of those kind of people but that kind of world was going on. It’s a brilliant film; the poetry of the language and everything else — it’s just a great film about art."

Rolling Stone's 175th greatest album of all time
Quite a good album including some of the Carpenters' biggest hits. There is a sombre yet quite pleasant tone to the album as a whole, which will be familiar to people who have heard those songs.
