If you could sit down for an hour or two with a writer or two - not necessarily novelists - living or dead, who would you choose?

I live about 2 blocks from one of the largest independent book stores in the US. In addition to all the newest reads they also have 5 floors of used books. In the evening I walk there and pull a book off the shelf and go back into the stacks to read....

This book was on a freebie pile. Great read but my guess is that women will enjoy it more than men. It is written in the omniscient first person plural and I really think it added so much to the story. It is a really great story of sisters but also ...

Once in a great while, I re-visit childhood and read Dr. Seuss books. Here I am, an old woman and I still adore Dr. Seuss.

Got a book (or poem, come to that) you consider particularly erotic? I think I'd go for Anais Nin's 'Delta of Venus'.

Got to meet this author last evening at our local book store: When it came to hunting, she was a master shot. As a dress designer, few could compare. An ingenious architect, she innovated the use of marble in her parents’ mausoleum on the banks of...

I just read "Why We Sleep" - learned a lot I did not know about sleep, why we need it and that bad things that happen when we are sleep deprived.

For discerning and sophisticated Dr. Seuss fans, who, like me until last year, were utterly CLUELESS that before he wrote his first children's book, he wrote this book for adults in 1939, the same wild year that saw naked fairies in Walt Disney's ...

A favorite book of mine, and one that I've read more than once over the years is Kurt Vonnegut's 'Slaughterhouse Five or The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death', his beautifully honed reminiscence of surviving the 1945 Allied firebombing of ...

If you enjoy humor and Christian Satire "Lamb" by Christopher Moore is a great choice. I personally prefer his book "A dirty job" but this one is a close second.

Any science fiction fans here? My all-time favorite book, of ANY catagory, is DUNE, by Frank Herbert, but lately I've been reading the Galaxy's Edge series, by Jason Anspach and Nick Cole. If you like military sci-fi, it's a very entertaining series.

Finally got around to reading "The Godfather". I still haven't seen the movies. However, the book was really good. I recommend it highly.
