The prose is lush and descriptive in this tragedy of entrapment and unrequited love. If you have never read or don't usually read the classics, make this an exception. A quick read, it is a stirring story and refreshing in its depiction of restraint in personal relationships not often seen in our times.

Dog lover or not, you will be charmed by this book, which covers all the emotions from joy to sorrow, but mostly disbelief: how could a family actually endure all the antics of that dog? I found the writing to be delightful and often funny, after all, the author is a columnist by profession. A quick, entertaining read.

Even if you have never been lucky enough to visit Ireland, this memoir will bring you delight, amazement, even heartache. Totally charming, this tale of leaving New York City for a rural area of County Clare is a well-written quick read that never disappoints.

Who doesn't have single socks? John Murphy shows you how to transform them into "quirky, lovable figures" with detailed directions, hints and drawings, plus pictures of his own weird little critters. Even if you never stitch a single one, it is a fun book to browse, with many witty remarks, even bios of the goofy sock creatures and a short color cartoon.
