I have always had a hard time picking up auto-biographies. I had some bad experiences in the past – OK, I had over 20 bad experiences with auto-biographies in the past which have left a sour taste in my mouth having nothing to do with my addiction to lemons. There is also the part of… Read More Book Review: 29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving can Change your Life by Cami Walker
Yes, you read the title right. Someone named ‘Stoker’ wrote a book titled Dracula. No, it’s not the same Stoker as Bram, but close: it’s his great grand-nephew.

Some of you had already read the book; many of you went and… Read More Review: Helen Epstein’s The Invisible Cure
