 | | Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte | | by Mike Wallerman, Aug 4, 2008 | | Agnes Grey is one of the lesser-known Bronte books. Is that fate deserved, or is the book overlooked because it was ahead of its time? | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |

 | | Psycho by Robert Bloch: A Review | | by The Occulaire, Jul 16, 2008 | | This is by far one of my favorite horror novels in the world. The chilling reputation of this novel has been somewhat overshadowed by Alfred Hitchcock’s renowned film of the same name, but Psycho is worth reading for its relentless build up of psychological terror. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 2 |

 | | The Periodic Table by Primo Levi: A Review | | by The Occulaire, Jul 16, 2008 | | This masterpiece does not need to associate with a genre, or to classify itself as fact or fiction, or define itself as anecdotal or semiotic. The Periodic Table has and is all these things but they are not relevant to its being truly great. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |

 | | Why Jane? | | by Mike Wallerman, Jul 15, 2008 | | Does Jane Austen really deserve the praise that has been heaped upon her? Was she daring and radical, or was she, instead, simply a clever comic novelist? | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |
