Some books about paradise:

Paradise Lost: An Authoritative Text Backgrounds and Sources Criticism book:
…Not a lot people know that ‘Paradise Lost’ has as a much lesser known companion piece ‘Paradise Regained’; of course, it was true during Milton’s time as it is today that the more harrowing and juicy the story, the better it will likely be remembered and received.

Paradise Found: Gardening in Unlikely Places book:
The book is a wonderful read and full of ideas and suggestions for creating our own bit of Paradise. The premise of the book may be for small, patio and container gardens but Rebecca Coles “eye” for Paradise may be used for any size garden. And everyone needs their own bit of Paradise to take the time to breath a bit more slowly, to bring the senses alive to fragrances, sights and sounds that we take for granted everyday. Every garden holds the potential for giving us a glimpse of Paradise - Thanks Rebecca!

The Yellow Wallpaper book:
Isolated in her room and completely inactive except for her writing, the narrator becomes transfixed by the sickeningly grotesque wallpaper that surrounds her. She projects her self into the convoluted patterns of the paper and imagines a feminine figure-not necessarily a “woman,” but rather a “shape… like a woman” -entangled in the radiating network of fronds and vines. The feminine shape escapes from the wallpaper’s intricate web and is seen “creeping up and down” in the “dark grape arbors” of the courtyard. In the final scene of the work, the narrator, who has seemingly lost her mind, tears off the wallpaper and crawls and “creeps” “smoothly” across the floor and over John, who has collapsed lifelessly after seeing his wife wriggling and writhing on the ground.

Paradise book:
Toni Morrison’s Paradise takes place in the tiny farming community of Ruby, Oklahoma, which its residents proudly proclaim “the one all-black town worth the pain.” Settled by nine African American clans during the 1940s, the town represents a small miracle of self-reliance and community spirit. Yet Paradises are not so easily gained. In the view of its leading citizens, these troubles call for a scapegoat. And one readily exists: the Convent, an abandoned mansion not far from town–or, more precisely, the four women who occupy it, and whose unattached and unconventional status makes them the perfect targets for patriarchal ire.

Strange Piece of Paradise book:
To Terri Jentz, Oregon is a dark and strange piece of paradise. After her freshman year at Yale, Jentz and her roommate Shayna set off on a summer 1977 Great American Journey–crossing the country from Oregon to Virginia on a BikeCentennial route. On Day 22 of the journey, Jentz and Shayna separated from a couple they had met on the road and then decided to stop for the night in an unapproved campground. They awoke that night to the unimaginable horror of a pickup truck driving through their tent, and then a handsome phantom of a cowboy striking them repeatedly with an axe.

Next Stop, Paradise book:
Paradise Beach, Fla., is normally a sleepy town, so when Officer Samantha Bartlett receives a call claiming there are giant T. rex footprints on the beach, she expects to discover the remnants of a childish prank. Instead, she finds the DustBuster Brigade a group of older gentlemen who comb the coast with their DustBusters to keep the town tidy guarding some very large, deep and unusual tracks. Having heard the report on his aunt’s police scanner, Derek Diche, the host of a well-known “mystery debunking” TV show, sets out to examine the tracks for himself, and he ends up butting heads with a fiery female officer. The next morning, a giant egg appears on the beach, and, to Sam’s dismay, Derek calls in his camera crew. Although Sam’s determined to dislike Derek for his poster-boy good looks and smooth-talking ways, she still can’t help trying to convince him that miracles do exist. At times, the novel’s plot complete with alien abductions, renegade FBI agents and unruly town folk may overwhelm the reader, but the romance between Derek and Sam will have fans believing in magic..

Paradise book:
…Blacking out becomes “master[ing] the art of escaping from linear time,” rehab is reduced to “being slapped down into a grisly ring of pink Naugahyde armchairs and made to discuss [our] personal lives with a dozen emotional vampires” and paradise itself is revealed to be “an untouched bottle and the man who loves me, the man I love.” Of course, Hannah knows that happiness can’t last, so when a charming drunk named Robert stumbles into her life, her bed and her head, no one dares to hope for a happy ending. Their thirst for oblivion, sobriety and oblivion again is the story of paradise found and lost a thousand times over…

At Paradise Gate: A Novel book:
In the midst of life’s uncertainties, one has always been sure of a mother’s love. It’s one of life’s givens, or is it? The startling perspective of the aging, female narrator in this superbly written novel is certain to give you new insights on the dynamics of family relationships, particularly the intricacies of mother-daughter and sibling relationships. Like a rich and original tapestry, the novel weaves the past, present and future of its characters into a beautiful blend of sadness and joy, always affirming the value of life, but life that is never predictable or obvious. Reading At Paradise Gate reminds us that while the gate may be in view, our feet remain firmly planted on earth

Paradise book:
“…after you read the last page of “Paradise” you get to pick up with Meredith and Matt in “Perfect”, and find out what happens after they walked off into the sunset. While not a sequel, “Perfect” is another great love story. Julie Matthison and Zachary Benedict will remind you just how great a writer Judith Mc Naught is. Two exciting stories that prove the true power of love. Sometimes,I try to decide if I have a favorite among the two, but there’s no need. After all two are better than one anyway!Pick up “Paradise” and “Perfect”…”
