Ulisses
AuthorMaria Alberta Menéres

Foi Homero, poeta grego, quem contou no seu livro Odisseia as façanhas de Ulisses, rei de Ítaca, adorado por todos os que o conheciam. Muitas e estranhas foram as viagens que fez à volta do mundo de então e de si próprio. A sua fama correu de boca em boca e todos o consideravam como o mais manhoso dos mortais...

AuthorAlice Vieira

Eu tinha de ler a continuação de Rosa, minha irmã Rosa, mesmo com alguns anos de atraso.

Pure Dead Wicked
AuthorDebi Gliori
ISBN0440419360
This one didn't really float my boat. Although at times I thought there was real wit, the delivery was lacking. It seemed like one of the problems was the lack of purpose to the book. Who was it really pitched at? Adults? Then it needed more content and complexity (or just to be a lot funnier). Kids? Then the...

AuthorLian Hearn

The Second Bend in the River
AuthorAnn Rinaldi
ISBN0590742590
Well that was a waste of two hours. This book is really boring and pointless. "Hey, let's spend a whole book forshadowing an awesome love story, and have it end in nothing. And then that'll just be it." It was pointless. There was no reason to even write it. Why didn't she just write on a napkin, "Hey, this...
Odious Oceans (Horrible Geography)
AuthorAnita Ganeri
ISBN0590543741
I expected that this book will cover a lot more of biology than it did. It was sort of a mixture of biology, chemistry, geography and history.

Some of the images were funnier that other, but overall I was not impressed. I did learn a couple of things, but I am secretly scared that because of the format...
Im Nobody Who Are You
AuthorEmily Dickinson
ISBN0916144224


I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there's a pair of us?
Don't tell! they'd advertise – you know!

How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one's name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!
