Dark Matter eLiquid
Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.
Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.
Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

Summary: "Not a substitute for reading, but very helpful resource for the student"
If there is one thing that is almost as good as a great book, it is a book about a great book or, in this case, great books. For those who love the classics, this is a fantastic and accessible resource.
This book is quite a handy source for anyone who is taking a literature course in college or handling the classics in high school English. While not a substitute for the actual reading of the classic, this book provides a great overview of many important novels and keys in on literary aspects within the novels. There are a wide range of classics included within the volume. Here are a few examples: Aeneid, The Odyssey, Hamlet, Doctor Faustus, Crime and Punishment, Jane Eyre, Great Expectations, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Animal Farm, The Sun Also Rises, The Joy Luck Club, Death of a Salesman, The Bluest Eye. The novels and plays encompass many different eras and types.
For each work discussed, there are various points discussed and evaluated. Background information about the work is given, which is followed by a general summary for various sections of the book, where plot details are given. This is followed by a listing of key characters, with an explanation of their significance or role in the story. Themes central to the work are discussed, symbols are presented, and the author's style is chronicled. Finally, the book's context is put into perspective in a brief critical overview.
The book's structure makes for an easy source to pick up and reference. A struggling student could use this book as they read one of the classics, referring to it often after reading sections or chapters. While this guide does some thinking for the reader by presenting key ideas and concepts, a reader could use this knowledge to gain a better appreciation for reading a classic, and perhaps look for various plot devices, symbols, and themes on their own as they read another book. So, in this sense, it is not only a resource to help students understand a classic, but maybe a stepping stone for "thinking" about a book while reading.

Summary: "Good books can be read "again and again". This "list" and format reminds you of that."
This of course can be a way to find out about these specific books and experience something about them for the first time. With plot summaries, historical backgrounds, and even chapter reviews this is a good tool and reference book.
The book claims to have found 100 "Great Books" and it's presentation is a choice on what is felt to be "great". The books chosen do qualify as "great" in that they represent significant ideas and thoughts from individuals who have made a difference in literature. The books are ones that can be read over and over.
There are many ways to find a list of 100, or many more books, thought to be significant. Most lists will enable one to check off what he has read and what may be missing. This collection enables one to stop and re review not only what one has missed but also what has already be read and the format is such that you can quickly bring back to memory all that you enjoyed when you first read the book.
If you just love books then you will probably have several books that point you towards what is thought to be the "best books". This guide is well done, presented in a useful format and worth having.

Summary: "A Great Source for Literature Teachers"
This book was instrumental in helping me as a new literature teacher construct lesson plans for my English classes. I have shared it with other literature teachers, and they also have appreciated its concise, yet thorough analysis of some of the great literature of our culture.

Summary: "An overview of the classics"
In "The Book of Great Books," W. John Campbell provides an overview of 100 of the world's greatest classics, both fiction and nonfiction. It includes only American and European authors, from ancient to modern times. This is an arbitrary list, of course, and some of your favorite classics may not be included. Out of curiosity, I compared these titles to those on the Random House list of the 100 best novels. 20% of the Random House titles were included here.
This volume is a sort of abridged Cliff's Notes in that it covers the historical background, summary, major characters and themes, symbolism, style, and a critical overview of each title. Reading this book is no substitute for reading the great classics themselves. Instead, this is a good reference book to consult when you are trying to recall the name of a character or a detail from the plot of a book you read a while ago. This book is now back in print as a Barnes & Noble publication.
