Reamde
Reamde by Neal Stephenson (Adventure, Suspense, Travel, Sports)
Yes. Though I for one am not a 'gamer'; Ilearned lots about those fellows who spend time on computer games with characters, magic spells and maps. Well drawn characters, which got me through 1,042 pages I couldn't put down. -- Added by june on 02/18/2013

Downsize this!
Downsize this! by Michael Moore (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics)
love it that you have horror and crime and business in the same category as Politics... this book has shown me how it is so many folks absolutely do not like Michael Moore. Truth telling is difficult to bear in these times. funny succinct, sad, infuriating. -- Added by june on 01/28/2013

A Prayer for Owen Meany
A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving (Classics, Literary Fiction, Biography)
Absolutely recommend. this is John Irving's Vietnam book. What a surprise. It doesn't take place in a war zone. It has the unlikely hero. It took me awhile. -- Added by june on 01/25/2013

Our Endangered Values
Our Endangered Values by Jimmy Carter (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics)
It almost two years to read this book. Jimmy Carter tells tales without pointing fingers so very eloquently. It took so long due to my sorrow over what he tried to do and what has been turned over and pushed back. From the U.S. attempting to make an enemy of Cuba, to removing solar panels from the White house. -- Added by june on 01/15/2013

Flight Behavior
Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver (Romance, Women's Fiction, Relationships, Humor)
Ms Kingsolver has a knack for including science in her fiction... this is an excellent example for climate change, and mankind ravaging the beauty of nature for profit, as well, she wrote so well about being Very conscious of every penny spent I almost put it down... I do not need to learn about that. I do not shop unless it is at goodwill. -- Added by june on 01/07/2013
