Sarah Hughes is the best ice skater I know since Kristina Yamaguchi. I am glad she won the 2002 Olympics. She is now my favorite ice dancer in my whole life.Someday I want to be a famous ice skater like Sarah Hughes. Also I want Sarah to go to the World Olympics in 2003. She is the Best in the world.

It was great,but it was strange. It was fun to read about the crazy adventures in the wax museum. My favorite character was Mary Rose.

Half of this book's pages are beautiful 4-color photos of boats (mosly sail, but some power), underway, at anchor. For each, Hughes (a sailor and a pastor) has penned a reflective poem focusing on the Lord and his goodness. Wonderful. I had a copy years ago, lost it, and yesterday my wife found a used copy for me - what a joy. This is a treasure you will use frequently.

Fun Erotica - return of the green women from outer space.

The green women from outer space are back in this upbeat sequel to Hughes' JILL. In this volume Jill and her daughter Segoy are trying to integrate their culture and themselves into the human world that surrounds them - a feat that is both humorous and at times touching. Jay finds himself smack in the middle of a weird celebration that he can't comprehend, placating a bunch of women that include Jill, Segoy and even some humans -- his talented tongue is in for a real workout now!

When you know that the heroine of a novel is a tall, dominating plant, you know what you're in for in this book. Simmeringly sexy and still funny as hell, SEGOY is a can't-put-down ebook for sure. It's erotica with a twist of science fiction and a lot of family drama stirred in just for good measure - and is extremely well-written to boot. The book uses first person narration to dunk you smoothly into a Hughes' world and keep you there, immersed and enjoying, until you get to the warmly satisfying ending that, though not romantic, is still heart-warming and fun. Readers are in for a real treat in this fascinating look at a world that just could be real - someday.

This book shows great imagination on the authors part and is a great read for any age! I love the mystery of the school and the storyline.

Helen Hughs Vick is probably the best author I have ever comeacross, and she doesn't fail with Shadow in her new courage of thestone series. She explores a young girl in a Sinagua village, a place she had written about before in her amazing Walker of Time Series. I am always in awe of her detail, and I hope you all will give it a try and read Shadow, one of her many fantastic books!

Charlie Hughes reminds me of Jim Harrison: they both write poetry in tradition structured forms --villanelles, sonnets, etc-- that are entirely accessible. Your average high school sophomore can read and understand Charlie Hughes' work. On the other hand, they might someday support PhD dissertations.

At a reading last year, Charlie was a few lines into his first poem when my wife, who doesn't read much poetry, leaned over to whisper in my ear, "I _want_ that book." We bought it and weren't disappointed.

You won't be disappointed.

And if you're looking for fresh, talented work that will surprise, delight you as well as give you good for thought, _you_ want this book too.,

Cristina Peri Rossi's work is thought-provoking treatise on exile and isolation whose metaphor resonated with me. The language is sophisticated and engaging, while at the same time evocative of the sparseness and detachedness at the novel's core. This is an impressive work which has established the author as an important new voice, not only for those interested in Latin American literature or women authors, but for anyone interested in perspectives which push the envelope of the literary canon. If you are interested in being challenged, read this book

The life of poverty and discrimination is all about Simple, the character in Simple's Uncle Sam. He goes through everything and tells about it in his short stories. From his ideas for a Negro President to his ideas for an ugly contest instead of a beauty contest, this man's mind comes alive with explicit detail, description, and opinion.

This is a fun book to read, and must have been a fun book to write. There are two parts in the book. Part I consists of 14 interesting essays, answering the questions such as: What would Santa Claus have to do to deliver all his presents in one night? Which celestial body is equal in volume to 54,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Big Macs? How loud must a noise be to have lethal effects? How hot would Hell be and how cold would Hell have to be before it froze over? What is the amount of air pressure required to burst a condom? Part II defines and explains all sorts of common and uncommon measures and scales, with lots of tables, illustrations and interesting examples.

My favorite essay is: How many jumping Chinese does it take to start an earthquake?

This book gives the readers a new understanding of all the measures and scales, in a very witty way. That's all I have to say about this book.
