		<description><![CDATA[By Judith E French Read: February 2010 Rating: A bit muddled I bought this book because, well, it&#8217;s called The Barbarian and it has a laughably swoony cover. I mean, c&#8217;mon, what&#8217;s more classically romance novel than a dude&#8217;s face all up close and personal while he gaze intensely at you, all the while holding <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/02/the-barbarian/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Didier Lefèvre was a photographer, who became involved with Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).

Well, I got an A on it. But my punishment was having to read this garbage.

		<description><![CDATA[By Euripides. Translated by W. S. Merwin &#38; George E. Dimock. Read: October 2006 Rating: Mixed. This is the Oxford University Press edition, with both a scholar and a poet working on the translation. The play itself is only, say, 1/3 of the book itself.

This is some of the coolest stuff you could ever present to me: Historical novel. With dragons. !!!!! of JOY! Some of the only &#8221;traveling&#8221; books I have ever liked!

My mother built me a collection of really gorgeously illustrated books when I was very young, and my edition of Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorites.

		<description><![CDATA[By Judith Tarr Rating: Ixcelsiooor! Read: June 2006 This one came from Strand Books, my beloved second-hand goldmine. The description was interesting, the cover art is gorgeous (her neck piece looks like mother of pearl) and the story is well-told and thoroughly unusual. Very good. The narrative follows Selene, an Amazon born with the gift <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2006/06/queen-of-the-amazons/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Anne Rice Rating: Enjoyable. Read: June 2005 I am not a fan of Anne Rice. I tried to read Interview With the Vampire years ago and failed miserably. There is nothing in her writing that goes unsaid- everything is laid out on the table. Sorry, but that&#8217;s boring, and makes for lousy prose.
