i could argue that reading a book that tells you what all your life decisions will be is really the one for babies.
 
There is brand new novel, from what I understand, with a deaf character (fictional) called The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski. Maybe you have heard something about it. If so, tell us about it. :)

it doesn't sound like you understand it yourself.

if you want to believe your little book holds all the secrets of the universe and can give you a complete profile of everyone born in March, then go ahead.

"sun in libra and 7th house"

"Mercury in 12th house"

"aspect of planets"

wtf mate?

it's called science fiction.
 
I am about to start to read Lane's book, The Mask of Benevolence. On the cover is the sign for hypocrite. Why that sign??

That is both hypocrite and subjugate. As in, hearing people think they are helpful to deaf people, but really they are keeping them in a lowly status...saying deaf people should be empowered but not really doing it. That's what the book is about, so it makes perfect sense for it to be on the cover!
 
Recently bought the fifth book in the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, "Soul of the Fire". I started on the first book "Wizard's First Rule" about 1.5 months ago and have been consuming the series since.

It's a very good fantasy series for adults, I wouldn't recommend it for kids.
