- Latest Review: Exploring Wine Regions – Bordeaux France by Michael C. Higgins, PhD
The undaunted Emma Harte comes from a little town in Yorkshire. She is a poverty ridden youth who was employed to work in the house of a wealthy family. What intrigued me most about this character is her driven spirit and her thirst for success.
All that she went through made her stronger and wiser and she sure made use of those outstanding qualities in her. It is a good book to enjoy. I will recommend you read it.

- Latest Review: Unremembered Victory by Dennis H. Klein
East of Eden by John Steinbeck: It's a wonderful moral allegory that spans across multiple generations and makes you feel old when you finish just because you feel like you've lived through it all.
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley: This book is so haunting and beautiful at the same time. The characters are so well developed and the writing just sings. Also, I'm sure you'll find the plot a little different from what you think of when you hear Frankenstein.
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde: Like the previous one, this Romantic era writing is so eloquent and beautiful that it's like a chore to put it down. The story and symbolism are so enticing, and you get lost in the characters. Such a shame it's Wilde's only novel.
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand: This one's a whopper at more than 1000 pages, but the plot draws you in and the main characters like Dagny Taggart and John Galt are so alluring and dramatic. Such a great dramatic writer.
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley: Read this one recently, it foreshadows so many eerie things about modern society and more to come. A must read for the modern civilized human.

I would recommend this collection of stories to all those readers who would like to read short stories containing awe and surprise.
There are many stories which are simply captivating in this compilation but the one that I liked most is 'Gift of Magi'. This is a great story about a husband and wife who had too much concern for each other and the real surprise was there when they exchanged gifts within each other on the eve of the festival.

- Latest Review: Fast Starting a Career of Consequence: Workbook by Fred Sievert
Some literary classics are Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice, and Persuasion. All three are my favorites.
Stephan King's Misery is a classic page-turner!
I have also read almost all the books written by Sidney Sheldon. They are perfect unputdownable classics/thrillers.
