I cant imagine how anyone could read this book and not love it. I think it could only be a man who wouldnt like this book. I still have my moms copy of this book from when she was a teenager.

This is truly a timeless masterpiece by author Hubert Selby Jr. In fact thats one of the many depressing things about this book is the fact that though it was written in the late 70s, people have not wised up any in the 20 plus years since.
The book isnt so much about drug abuse as it is about pe..
Forged By Fire
Sharon Draper has indeed forged a fiery name for herself in the field of young adult literature--that of a courageous writer, willing to tackle tough, real-life problems while developing honorable, streetwise role models for troubled teens. Her previous novel, Tears of the Tiger, garnered much acclaim and became the first recipient of the Coretta Scott King Genesis Award.

Easy Riders, Raging Bulls is a director-to-diretor, movie-to-movie account of the New Hollywood generation of the 70s. What is so amazing about this book is how well its author Peter Biskind has researched and structured it. Sadly much of the books potential is ruined with the blatant gossip and rep..
