Karon’s books may not be great literature but for a relaxing read it’s nice to know that at least one Christian author writes with a little style and substance. Call me a snob, but this author is the only such author I will read.

The latest Jack Reacher Novel is much like the others. Jack Reacher, a sort-of modern day Robin Hood, wanders the country, helping people he meets along the way.

I have always really enjoyed Mike Birbiglia's humor. He has this ability to make situations (that have happened to most people) and make them his own- making the reader/listener feel bad for him. While I was reading this book, I could hear Mike's voice in my ear. This absolutely added to the books humor factor.

Easy A is an absolutely brilliant movie! Emma Stone is fantastic in the lead role, and the rest of the cast are terrific, too. The script is incredibly smart, sharp, hilariously funny and emotionally resonant.

And yet another undiscovered author!!  Who would have thought that a Laotian coroner trying to unravel mysteries set in Laos in the 1970s would be at all gripping or absorbing?
