We by Yegevny Zamyatin

Kimberly Dull, July 22, 2009

This fascinating novel predates all of the more famous futuristic dystopian novels (such as "1984," which it inspired). It tells of a world where individual rights have been given up for the collective good. I was assigned this book in school, and of all the books I was made to read, this one stuck with me. Though written in 1921 and outdated in some ways, this novel still has significance today.

The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster

I first read this book in 6th grade and fell in love with it. It's a truly original, fantastical story and is up there with "Alice in Wonderland" in its silly, nonsensical fun. I recently bought it for my godson, and I hope he lends it to me.

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Neil Gaiman
Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch

Kimberly Dull, August 27, 2008

This book had me laughing all the way through. You have to love it when the Apocalypse isn't going according to plan. Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett make for a perfect team, and their combined wit is razor sharp.

The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible by A. J. Jacobs
The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible

Kimberly Dull, October 30, 2007

This book is both amusing and fascinating. I'd never truly thought about what it would be like to follow the Bible to the letter, something that is pretty much impossible in this day and age. This humorous, yet respectful, book explores this.
