Simon & Schuster Mega Crossword Puzzle Books #13: Simon & Schuster Mega Crossword Puzzle Book Series 13 by John M Samson
Simon & Schuster Mega Crossword Puzzle Books #13: Simon & Schuster Mega Crossword Puzzle Book Series 13

Craig Ensz, January 10, 2013

I do crosswords daily. I travel a lot and Book #13 traveled with me throughout 2012. It covers the gamut of easy to hard and is challenging. Keeping the brain engaged keeps those grey cells active and alert. Book #13 fits the bill.

The World without You by Joshua Henkin
The World without You

Craig Ensz, July 24, 2012

Loss is never acceptable nor completely understandable. Henkin tries with a story of a family devastated by loss. I read the book to help me understand my loss. There is no answer, just someone elses attempts.

What It Is Like to Go to War by Karl Marlantes
What It Is Like to Go to War

Craig Ensz, July 24, 2012

Marlantes has expertly taken on the subject of wars, the people who fight them and the psychological and social ramifications of them, now and in the future. His personal stories and confessions bring a personal side to a scholarly work.

Mao Zedong: A Life by Jonathan Spence
Mao Zedong: A Life

Craig Ensz, January 16, 2011

Mao as a man and not just the revolutionary leader of Communist China is an interesting study. The lesser known attributes of this famous man who changed the face of not only China but the East as well, are enlightening. Spence has done a good historical job that reads well.

Survival in Auschwitz: The Nazi Assault on Humanity by Primo Levi
Survival in Auschwitz: The Nazi Assault on Humanity

Craig Ensz, January 16, 2011

Sometimes there is a subject that can not and should not be over written. Levi's story is unique as is the story of every concentration camp survivor. As a teacher of World History, this entire era is one that needs to be written about and discussed forever. The world cannot forget.
