I read this as part of my masters class on "Social Contract, Class and Wealth." While it was shorter than some of our other selections so far, I am not entirely made up about my feelings on Locke.

I am a sucker for a nice looking book. Sightlines--the UK version, at least--features a flock of sea birds taking flight against a dark blue sky. It's the same dark blue I see when I look up at the sky in the evening these days. Not quite full dark but a beautiful intermediary that conveys a promise … [Read more]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
