The Screwtape Letters is well, obviously a series of letters written by a demon who goes by the name of Screwtape.  He writes to his juvenile nephew giving him advice on how he can please their “Father Below”.

The books gives some insights on religion, politics, and satires the way a human lives their life.

WARNING: This is a Lewis classic, and is written as such. There are big words and illustrations that are difficult to read. You may have to reread many passages to understand the concepts he presents.

Other than that, its a great book! You may actually learn a thing or two.

This biography about the famous Director/ Actor is very informative about Mel Brook’s life. He started life as a Russian Jew raised Melvin Kaminsky. James Robert Parish details most every tidbit of information about Mel Brooks, describing his early career in the Jewish Catskills and his experiences in World War II. I highly recommend this book for Mel Brooks fans and also anyone who does not know who Mel Brooks is.

When i first opened this book i was like ” I hope this is not a book of poems”, but it turned out to be great. This book is about a girl named Laura Li who in just about everyone’s eyes seems to be perfect. She seems to have it all, the most popular girl, prettiest, smart, etc. She has many friends, but a lot of girls hate her. At the beginning she seems to be perfect, but you begin to see the problems she faces when she gets home. Is she going to take her life or will the partying and drinking take her life?

American Shaolin is a magnificent story about Matthew Polly’s journey to turn himself into a fighting machine.  As a slight young man, he was always bullied at school.  The show Kung Fu became his inspiration.  Matthew learned Chinese and dropped out of college to travel to China to learn kung fu.  He relates, in a humorous way, the trials and tribulations he undergoes to understand Chinese culture and to fit into the monestary.  Chock full of interesting personalities, this is autobiography at its finest.

I just can’t get enough of Indigo Summer. In this book her boyfriend Marcus make a pact that may ruin their relationship forever!!!! This book helps you analyze your relationship and see if it’s really meant to be. i couldn’t have broken up with my boyfriend for the summer, because I would be afraid he would find someone he thought he liked better. But Indigo did and it turned out that their relationship was unbreakable.
