Just finished “Faust” by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. From a personal stand point I find this medium very difficult to read. However, the book was well written. Not sure I can recommend it or not.

Is this the first time for you? I found it different than many of his works.

I'm a fan of Lewis.

It is an (obviously fictional) oral history of the aftermath of a virus that hits Earth. It was suggested and given to me and while I admit I started reading reluctantly, it is excellently written, and a relatively disturbing and insightful look at how the world would react to a truely global wide issue if it ever hit.
I finished this one about 6 months ago, a really fun read.

A scholarly yet highly readable and enjoyable book about the new research regarding life in the Americas prior to Columus' arrival. Highly recommended.

THE ONION

Opinion Headline "How Come No One Celebrates My Alcoholism Like John Cheever's?"

Economy Headline "Treasury Department Badly Needs Ones and Fives"

In Brief "Firefighters Turned Away From Exclusive Nightclub Blaze"

Funny Stuff.

Good title, too! But without Jamestown and Cowboys... Life amongst the native americans must have been pretty boring! Wink

Does it focus on eastern tribes or the entire continent?
