The Safety of Objects by A. M. Homes
I often hear great writers described as surgeons, but I think of A.M. Homes more as a dentist (and I mean that in the best possible way). In her 1990 collection, The Safety of Objects, she explores the quiet desperation of suburbia, shining a blinding and unflattering light right in your face as she pokes, prods, and excavates with her sharp and sinister tools. She also (like my dentist, at least) uses humor to temper the discomfort–and that’s when she busts out the drill. These stories are uncomfortable but necessary, and leave you disoriented, numb, and desperate for a lollipop.(Important Tip: DO NOT read the back cover. It commits the cardinal sin of revealing just a bit too much and diffuses some of the suspense.)

The best book I've ever read is The Workhouse by Norman Long mate which I read last term for one of my university dissertation writing-dissertation help service It's a factual book about how people were treated in the workhouse when they had to resort to staying in one. It made me cry because of the daily regime the inmates yes, inmates because the workhouse was made to look and feel as much like a prison as possible were made to undertake.
Books plays an important role in in our life. They may make our life depressed. We might have to suffer since of bad books. They grow in us bad behaviors. They misinform and misguide. Bad books ruin our intelligence. They spoil our attention in reading good and thoughtful books. I need affordable assignment help for my last college assignment. We necessity avoid reading such bad and cheap books because they waste our time and liveliness. Some books pact with topics of universal nature. Everyone likes to read those books.
