This is a great story about a man who goes to a town full of people who believe they are beyond temptation… and gives them a chance to see themselves through his eyes. He does this not to be cruel, but because he was there before, and he found the town did not live up to its reputation, and he has hopes that perhaps, if they have an opportunity to see themselves as he does, they will reconsider… if nothing else, their town motto.

If the concept of 500 plus pages has kept you from reading Tolstoy, then 
The story of an employer and employee trapped in a Russian Winter storm (think snow, snowdrifts… and generally cold weather you would not want to be trapped out and about in) this short story provides a chance to sample the writing of a great Russian novelist, and delve into the lives of two characters who have a lot more to face than just the great outdoors.

For hundreds of years King Arthur has reigned over the imaginations of young and old alike. The appeal of this mythic King has been so profound that not only have readers the early stories about him, like 
I can’t give this e-book credit for my all time favorite cover, but what it does have going for it is the advertised contents… not only does it contain the oft talked about, and recommended Anne of Green Gables, but this edition is a collection / anthology containing not just the original story that a family member sent to me as a teen when she was looking for a story we could both enjoy, despite the miles separating us, but also several of the subsequent tales as well.
If you are looking for an ebook that only contains the original Anne of Green Gables, try this book cover instead, it should direct you to the Amazon Classics Edition.
Stephen Crane’s Red Badge Of Courage is another one of those books most American’s of a certain age were assigned to read in school, and for many, because it was assigned reading there was no pleasure to be found in these pages.
The title of this selection / collection may rub some people the wrong way… but for those who want to learn from our past, with an eye towards the future, this collection has some important works in it.
The Amazon description of Tom Sawyer is a good one, so I’ll share it here:
There are some authors, and some books, that almost every one in America was assigned to read in school. Mark Twain, whether it was Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn (Huck Finn to his friends) seems to be in that category. In High School I discovered one of my favorite works by Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer Abroad. The sense of humor stuck with me… and I found myself quoting it to others for YEARS. To this day I can still relate a scene from it, because Mark Twain captured two boys on an adventure together so well… he also so perfectly captured their understanding of their world – and the fact there was still more for them to learn.
A classic tale of survival, written in 1903, and told from the perspective of a dog abducted and sold into service as a sled dog in Alaska, 
How many children, over how many generations, have dreamed of exploring the wonders beneath the seas? And how many of those children have gone upon a thrilling sea-faring adventure with Captain Nemo thanks to the 1870 Jules Verne novel
This is one of those stories that has been described beautifully by others, highlighting its strength and power quite simply as coming from its unique perspective, and the fact it was written by a not only intelligent, but educated man, born free in United States of America, and yet, ending up a slave, in the United States South.

Books can take us to far off places — or teach us something invaluable, in this case a language. American Sign Language can make it simpler and easier for us to communicate with people in our community, and it can be something fun for adults and children to discover together.

Some days a tale of adventure is just the escapist reading that calls out to a reader… and 
There are a lot of wonderful mystery, crime solving, and procedural shows airing on Television these days. Among them is

It seems that, for many, prefacing an expression with “Confucius says” means it will be witty, wise, clever, and not only worth hearing, but worth reflecting on. As a result, some jokingly preface their own safe words with “Confucius says” in an attempt to add weight to them, or as a humorous way to get their friends to listen.
If you look beyond the joke however, you see a deeper meaning and truth — that a man who lived over 2000 years ago is still considered witty, and wise. That the lessons he sought to teach are still considered with reflecting on and learning from.
There are a few addresses that everyone seems to know… 221B Baker Street being near the top of the list. And given the caliber of the chief resident of that abode, is it any wonder?
