whats up, fellow bibliophiles. this week i bring to you a perfect summer book. its not the typical forgettable summer bunk that we all bring to the beach or the pool, some interchangable formulaic mystery, action-adventure, or sci-fi stuff. this is one book you will not want to put down, and thats a good thing, b/c it will take you a long time to get through it.  you will also develop some serious guns from lugging it around, b/c its heavy as all get out. this fine book is  James Clavell's "Shogun". it is an epic saga set in 17th century japan, the names being changed to protect the innocent. seriously, this one has it all. action, intrigue, battles, ninjas, samurai, swordfights, and of course, for the dude, the mental image of hot japanese women. its fantastic. they made a 10 hour miniseries out of it in the early 80s, thats how good this was. 10 hours ! and people tuned in ! snag this one at barnes n nobles, you wont regret it.

hello, fellow prowlers of the bargain bin at barnes & noble's. today i am motivated to write a review of a book that is near and dear to my heart. it is one of the best books you will ever read. i first read it when i was 13 or 14 i guess and have read it about 10 times since then, wearing out several copies. it would behoove me to go get a hardcover one at some point. the book is entitled All Quiet on the Western Front. by erich maria remarque. its about a group of young german soldiers during world war 1.  i received this book as a secret santa present at school and i'll say this, that kooky girl who bought it for me knew what she was doing. a great read. the image below is the cover of the editions that ive had and they still sell this one.
