    Piper Kerman: Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison

    This is getting rave reviews. There is a ton of research about women/girls and the justice system, can't think of much relating to literature, perhaps we will see a new upswing of interest in the topic? Orange is the new black http://www.amazon.com/Orange-Is-New-Black-Womens/dp/0385523394...

    No, I never said anyone had to "Like" something automatically. Just that in order to have an informed opinion, it's best to have read the book you are talking about. A good question to ask. The beauty of a discussion is to consider both sides of the debate. One prominent scholar believes...

    "ALL" the people included a salon writer who posted a huge caveat that you choose to ignore. A writer and a shrink who posits pure conjecture hardly constitute a mass of opinion, let alone, the right one. Oh, was the quote mistaken? Let me know how I specifically put in the wrong words from...

    So you are running with a generalization of "popular opinion" that is devoid from a reading, any reading, of the book. In another thread, you were quick to criticize religious folks for being intolerant. This is no different. You are taking other people's words as gold instead of finding out...

    Ah, but V.N. does highlight how it's wrong. From your slate source. And where specifically in the book, is it stated that he is in the right? Is there a line where he wistfully muses about his love and how he "completes" her? The Slate link indicates otherwise and totally undermines your...

    Annotated Bibles

    About five years ago, I purchased the NASB MacArthur study Bible as recommended by a friend. I found the book in a religious bookstore in Estes Park and decided to shell out the $60.00 to see what it was about. This study bible is thick with references, a concordance, more maps of the ancient...

    I believe it is more than defensible. The book is consistently rated a top 100 read by modern library and others. The subject of the book is controversial, but most of your great books are. To Kill a Mockingbird has a section on rape, some books deal with gay characters, others deal with war...

    Interesting Religious Stuff

    It is refreshing to see religious leaders who live more like a sanyasi than an aristocrat. Buddhist leaders like Thich Nhat Hanh come to mind for me when I think of those who live humbly despite their prominent position. Hopefully, the Pope inspires some good changes through the example of his...

    Arthur Miller

    The Death of a Salesman is a true classic, the societal commentary of the work is truly profound and presented in a clear, though indirect way. Just finished The Price, a work similar to Salesman in regards to family conflict and roles in society, though more of a focus on family dynamics...
