I am currently living in South Korea and have greatly appreciated this guidebook. It was helpful before I left in giving me a good synopsis of the country's history and culture and is helpful now that I'm here in getting around and seeing different sights. This travel book, unlike many others about Korea, is organized in a manner that is convenient and accessible for you if you need information quickly. I would highly recommend this book for your visit to South Korea and your adventures in this vibrant country.
My copy of this cookbook is now covered in little spills of lemon juice, homemade salad dressing, and of course evoo (Extra-Virgin Olive Oil) from using it ALL THE TIME! This cookbook is an excellent compilation of Rachael's 30 Minute Meals and is conveniently compiled into categories such as everyday, date night, party, etc. I thoroughly enjoy this cookbook and find that I have most of the ingredients around the house. (If I don't, I substitute or just leave it out!)

C. S. Lewis has not only written the ever famous Chronicles of Narnia, but also other beautiful works of literature, that remain, years later, masterful imaginary tales. This book, in particular, which I believe is often overlooked, articulates powerfully through allegory, questions about the meaning and purpose of life. In reading this account about what Lewis calls, the great divorce, I was swept up into this imaginary world, found myself asking these difficult questions, and resonating easily with his intricate characters.
His face now consumes on our television screens, newspapers, and magazine covers...his name is spoken constantly on radio stations...but before the fame and even before most of his politcal career, Barack Obama wrote this beatiful autobiography, his story of race and inheritance. In reading this story, you will discover why he stands for what he stands for. It is within a person's life experiences that they become who they are and learn to see the world from a particular viewpoint. This book, written long before the spotlights, allows you to understand how Obama's trials and victories shape the who he is today.

This fantastic sequel to the first book in the Thursday Next Series, is even harder to put down than the first! Fforde has such a unique, creative, and even strange imagination that is somehow clearly articulated in his thrilling story telling. I find myself able to venture with his protagonist, Thursday, on each adventure, moment of confusion or coincidence, and crazy encounter with classic fictional characters. This is a joyous read and the references to classic literature offer pleasant reminders of fiction I've read years earlier, which urges me to pick them up again. It is a truly delightful story and series.
