Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs

 Back to the shelf stash.
This book is....a guide to understanding marriage in terms of what the author describes as the greatest male and female needs.

Author: Dr. Emerson Eggerich

Keep or Donate: Donate! This book is the first to fail the 50 page test. I found his premise reductionist at best and couldn't really get past the part when he said that a greeting card store was a representation of a woman's most deeply held values. I'll be a charitable reader and assume he had no idea how utterly condescending that was (along with talk of "pink sunglasses" and "blue sunglasses")...but this is not the book for me.

Rating: 3/5. Charitably

    This books is....Book 2 in a famous series of morbidly humorous children's fiction that follows three bright orphans through various unfortunate events. Author: Lemony Snicket Rating: 5/5 Keep or Donate: Keep, obviously. If the first two books are any indication, the series deserve its reputation as well-written, witty, and wonderfully dark.

The Parade by David Eggers (A Not-Stash Book)

    This book is...A Not-Stash library book. A parable on the unexpected difficulties and dangers of good intentions in postwar reconstruction. At times satiric, at times sober, at times surprising...the book builds to a final moment that jabs you like a sudden poke to the ribs. This is my favorite Eggers book so far and the one I would most readily read again. It might even end up on my shelf eventually. Author: David Eggers Rating: 5/5
