http://onehundredbestnovels.blogspot.com/2010/02/are-you-book-abuser.html

RANDOM HOUSE TOP 100. Tuesday, February 9, 2010. ARE YOU A BOOK ABUSER? I hate to admit it (Hi, I'm Kris. I'm a book abuser. I abused my last book this morning!

http://onehundredbestnovels.blogspot.com/2009/11/age-of-innocence.html

RANDOM HOUSE TOP 100. Saturday, November 14, 2009. THE AGE OF INNOCENCE". The Age Of Innocence". As a history teacher, the enjoyment of this novel was twofold. The historical element afforded new perspectives and references for life in 19th Century New York; and, the novel was also (although ridiculous by today's standards) worth reading for the characters and their societal, cultural, and emotional involvements. Again, I appreciate this journey because it provided me the opportunity to experience a nove...
