This was the first book I've read which explained meditation in a way that I could easily understand. It's also for those who don't feel that their relationships are as fulfilling as they'd like for them to be. It will teach them compassion as they gain wisdom during meditation.

A highly readable biography of a man who changed the way we practice and view Christianity in America. His orations and preachings throughout the country made him a 19th century superstar. The scandal late in his life is reminiscent of Jim Bakker. Applegate won the Pulitzer Prize for this biography.

Even though this book is 928 pages long, I read it in a weekend and wished it had gone on for another 928 pages. I enjoyed getting to know the characters, while trying to come up with the solution to the mystery. Chandra has written a wonderful book that will appeal to a large audience if they'll accept that the length is worth the time they'll invest.

A scholar analyzes Shakespeare in a way that the rest of us can understand and appreciate. "Hamlet" and "King Lear" make a little more sense, and we learn how the plays changed over the years.
