Out Stealing Horses: A Novel by Per Petterson
Out Stealing Horses: A Novel

mgreiner, April 14, 2008

Although I had a negative reaction to the title, the review I read was intriguing. How glad I am that I didn't judge this book "by the cover." Petterson tells an engaging story, from the point of view of an older Trond and his young self. Most of the action occurs in a rural Norway, and is a mix of tragic, heroic, amusing, and romantic moments. Well worth the time to read this short and engaging novel.

Christmas Alphabet Cards (Boxed Set) by Robert Sabuda
Christmas Alphabet Cards (Boxed Set)

mgreiner, November 29, 2006

These are cards for a collection, not to send, so maybe buy two. Robert Sabuda startles, delights, and enchants with his designs. Whether he is making cards or books, his work is worth the glassed-in bookcase where first editions are kept.
