  Buy.com - Night (Oprah's Book Club) : Elie Wiesel : ISBN 0374500010
Night is Elie Wiesels masterpiece, a candid, horrific, and deeply poignant autobiographical account of his survival as a teenager in the Nazi death camps.
Night offers much more than a litany of the daily terrors, everyday perversions, and rampant sadism at Auschwitz and Buchenwald; it also eloquently addresses many of the philosophical as well as personal questions implicit in any serious consideration of what the Holocaust was, what it meant, and what its legacy is and will be.
Night is the terrifying record of Elie Wiesel's memories of the death of his family, the death of his own innocence, and his despair as a deeply observant Jew confronting the absolute evil of man.

 Amazon.com: Night: Books: Elie Wiesel,Stella Rodway,Francois Mauriac   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel's memoir Night, a scholarly, pious teenager is wracked with guilt at having survived the horror of the Holocaust and the genocidal campaign that consumed his family.
Furthermore, reading a book is quite different from seeing a film in the sense that one gets the chance to crawl into the mind of a person that has been through this unprecedented ordeal.
And it also serves as a tribute to the human spirit: A tragic book that is also full of hope; showing how one young man was subjected to one of the most terrible human tragedies in history and lived to tell his painful story.

 FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS - A Town, A Team, and A Dream
The book appeals to them because many in my community recognize the conflicts and issues in the book as very relevant to their own lives.
The book works on several levels: a view into a football world undreampt by most Easterners; a commentary on diversity and tolerance and intolerance; an insight into a peculiarly male dominated society; a consideration of what is considered of value and the lengths people are willing to go to attain that value.
It is a riveting and transformative book for students, one which forces them to ask significant questions about their country and its values.

 MNightFans.com - Lady in the Water - M. Night Shyamalan, Book, Crash McCreery
Originally written by M. Night Shyamalan as a bedtime story for his own children, the story of the Lady in the Water is an imaginative reading experience that inspires readers to observe the world around them and consider their purpose on earth.
This book stands completely on its own as a unique reading experience and is intended to complement the film, rather than recreate it.
While the myth of the "lady in the water" forms the basis for the plot of the film, the film characters and setting are not featured in the book.

 Tuesday Night Book Club Past Selections 2003   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The first part of this book deals with Beck's preparation for the climb and then the climb itself; the technical aspects of mountain climbing are fascinating.
The second part of the book dealt with Weathers's relationships with his wife and children...though this is probably the "meat" of the book, it reads more like an episode of Jerry Springer.
Central to the discussion were the likeability of the book's main characters, Georgie, Luther, and Jim, as well as the palpable presence of the land and the reader's constant awareness of the author's voice.

 Book Break - Night by Elie Wiesel
Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel's wrenching attempt to find meaning in the horror of the Holocaust is technically a novel, but it's based so closely on his own experiences in Birkenau, Auschwitz, and Buchenwald that it's generally - and not inaccurately - read as an autobiography.
Like Wiesel himself, the protagonist of Night is a scholarly, pious teenager racked with guilt at having survived the genocidal campaign that consumed his family.
There are no easy answers in this harrowing book, which probes life's essential riddles with the lucid anguish only great literature achieves.

 Scar Night | Book Reviews | SCI FI Weekly
The movement has since produced many fine books, reviving a strain of fantasy that occupies the opposite end of the spectrum from Tolkienesque quest trilogies.
The book is full of gothic excruciations, almost as if the blood of Clive Barker has gotten into its veins.
I'd fault the book only insofar as its tone is unleavened by much variety.

Anton is an analyst with the Night Watch, an organization of Others who have sworn never to use their powers for personal gain.
Under the terms of their agreement, a good deed on any Night Watch agent's part allows the Day Watch to perform a comparable act of evil.
Good and Evil are both personified by faceless bureaucracies, and the allegedly altruistic Night Watch stands by as innocent people are killed, even occasionally putting them in harm's way.

 The Blackwinged Night - F. David Peat
Shoreham became their "valley of vision" where they would paint, read together and sit talking late into the night to the point where the local villagers believed they must be magicians or astrologers.
A tight sense of observation is present in the "night music" from Bela Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra, of expanse and mystery in Gustav Mahler's symphonies, of mystery in Olivier Messiaen's cosmic expanses and of the underlying menace of a world disturbed in the garden scene of Maurice Ravel's L'Enfant et les Sortliges.
But now what could be computed, seen on a map, read in a book or contemplated in an engraving became even more real and immediate.

Twelve year-old Mosca Mye was born on a day honoring a man named Goodman Palpitattle, who was in charge of keeping flies out of the jam and butter of the town.
Fly By Night is an intense book that tackles some deep topics.
The best part about this book is that it'll really get your brain buzzin' about important social issues like religion and politics - but it does it in a way that makes it interesting and not dry and boring!

Read "Night" if you are going through your own "dark night of the soul" and want to find an answer to the perennial question, "Where is God?" Read "Night" if you think deeply about life and how it often falls on us and crushes us.
Don't read "Night" only if you have a queasy stomach or the need to think that this life is a bed of roses.
Although this book is small, it really creates a large picture about the holocaust through the eyes a fifteen year old boy.

 Tuesday Night Book Club (CBS) - Reviews from Metacritic
"Tuesday Night Book Club" has the effect of making viewers wish to live somewhere less petty and self-destructive than America, or at least the Scottsdale of this show.
"Book Club" is one of those "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" series.
Since these "Book Club" women do not seem inclined either to read or discuss their books, my advice is to follow their example - and neither watch nor discuss "Tuesday Night Book Club."

Add a killer of prostitutes that seems connected to the conspiracy, as well as her father's best friend's death, and Moira finds herself in imminent danger.
Heather Graham strikes the perfect balance between romance and suspense in NIGHT OF THE BLACKBIRD.
While terrorist plots may be a bit difficult to read in the wake of the recent US bombing, for those with an appetite for intrigue, NIGHT OF THE BLACKBIRD will prove quite satisfying.

 Beyond the Fall of Night (Book Review)
So it was with some trepidation that I forged ahead into the second half of this collection and read Beyond the Fall of Night, Gregory Benford's sequel to Arthur C. Clarke's Against the Fall of Night (which I reviewed previously).
I very much enjoyed Clarke's original, and was curious to see where the future would take these characters—something the book jacket promised would be revealed.
By the time I reached the end of Against the Fall of Night, I had come to know the characteristics of the protagonist, Alvin, and had formed a good idea of how he might behave in a given situation.

WASHINGTON — Marsha Silverberg's book club has gathered, 10 women strong, to have dinner, discuss Ian McEwan's novel Saturday — and dish about Tuesday Night Book Club, a CBS reality show that had its premiere Tuesday.
It didn't help that on the first episode, the TV book club never discussed the chosen book, Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner.
But executive producer Jay Blumenfield says the show uses the book club as a jumping-off point.
