I am reading The Glass Menagerie and Madame Bovary at the moment.




I read that one in high school. Almost all my friends found it incredibly boring, but I could somehow relate, I liked it!


I am loving it. But I think I appreciate it now much more than I would have in high school. The themes are mature, and I know I would not have grasped the characters and subtext at that age. One thing about getting older, books get better! woot!

I don't have much opportunity to be around kids, but for some reason last year, I went to the library and checked out a bunch of Dr. Seuss books and read them. I guess my inner child needed a dose of Dr. Seuss.

I just finished reading Mary Roach's Stiff, and I honestly can't remember the last time I enjoyed a book so much. It's hilarious, disgusting, morbid and every page said something interesting.






Stiff by Mary Roach


For 2,000 years, cadavers -- some willingly, some unwittingly -- have been involved in science's boldest strides and weirdest undertakings. Stiff is an oddly compelling, often hilarious exploration of the strange lives of our bodies postmortem.

When I was little, I had The Cat In The Hat and it really irritated me. I wanted the cocky sumufabitche to get eaten by a dog.

Never read any other Dr. Seuss books. Then when my daughter was born we got a collection of six Seuss stories in one book. The kids loved it. They especially likes "Yertle The Turtle" and the classic "How The Grinch Stole Christmas". I used to read the Grinch one to them EVERY SINGLE NIGHT...so much so that I could at one point recite the whole goshdarned thing by heart!

One of the stranger novels I've read in a while.

I'm only on chapter 2 but it's proven to be utterly compelling, strange, and a bit charming.

I've always wanted to write a future-world sci-fi novel that took place in Bangkok.

Apparently, somebody already has, and it was voted the 9th best Sci-Fi book of 2009

by Time magazine. lol

OK, finished the book today.

This is without a doubt, one of the best sci-fi books I've ever written.

It's also a wonderfully damning look at human nature and globalization and the West's role in it.

Superb, superb....BRILLIANT book.

I can't even begin to describe how insanely good this book is.

RUN TO THE STORE AND GET A COPY....NOW

Sags... thanks for the recommendation! I am totally a sci-fi and fantasy fan and have put The Windup Girl on my list! hug

Endy....I've read The Shadow of the Wind and The Angel's Game by Zafon. Shadow is a GREAT book, set in beautiful and haunting Barcelona. Angel's Game wasn't as cohesive for me....it left me with a lot of questions about the characters.

I just finished this good read... vampire virus infects a group of scientists/military in the jungles of Bolivia and is brought back to the US, where it wipes out 90% of the human population, and turns millions of peoples into souless, blood-craving vampires (but not your average dracula-types). I recommend it!

Still trying to finish this one. It's a slow read for me, even though I find it interesting and there are a ton of illustrations.

The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.
