Times Bestsellers List: Make Room!!! Product review: The world's greatest fiction authors would be hard-pressed to top Robert Kurson's Shadow Divers, a breath-taking depiction of the true tale of American ship-wreck divers who discovered an actual W.W. II German U-boat sunken off the coast of New Jersey. Once you pick this book up, the pages turn themselves, your fingers mere passengers helplessly submitting to the momentum of page after page of Kurson's gripping story. (A word to the wise: Don't attempt to read and eat at the same time with this book, you don't have enough hands!) If it didn't actually happen as Kurson has told it, through the eyes of lead divers John Chatterton and Richie Kohler, you would swear it had to have been made up. When the Hollywood types get their hands on this one, they will thank their lucky stars they didn't have to create it, because they couldn't.

Review title: Behold the sheer force of Homer! Wheeee! Product review: All the reviews here seem to be about this book's translation. Bah, I say! Don't take it so seriously. In the first month of 1995, my college friends could hear me saying, "I hate the Iliad!" But when I got further into the text, I read the last 14 books (of 24) straight through in one night. Outstanding! Perhaps the translation does indeed lend the words a certain energy, but the true wonder of Homer's masterpiece lies in its characters and stories. Thrill to the adventures of Hector and his alternately tragic and heroic life! This book is an otherworldly triumph and should be enjoyed by everyone. Drop the snobby academic talk and recognize "The Iliad" for its universal dopeness. Yeah, I said it, this book is the raw, uncut dope!
