Aleksey Gubsky gubsky — I decided to read this again in anticipation of the movie arriving later this year. The only other time I read this cover to cover was in 7th grade. As with other books I was forced to read in school, I greatly enjoyed this the second time around.

James Martinez _ — Bill Bryson is very well known for this book, at least in the circles I frequent. It's funny, interesting and makes you want to drop everything and get to the trail as soon as possible, preferrably without bringing a friend who doesn't know how to pack properly. The image of someone standing at the side of the trail on a hill and dumping everything "heavy" out of their pack sticks with me, maybe because it's so foreign to anything I've ever experienced. And who would pack twinkies for a trip? It's a funny book. He's a good writer. If you can't get out or want to start planning a hiking adventure, it's definitely a good read, especially if the AT is in your past or future.

Sheanne Ligan seaune — Good but WAY overrated!!!!!!

Paul Wilkins pwilkinsphotography — Very cool compilation of true short stories sent in from listners of a radio show. The stories were supposed to "defy our expectations about the world, reveal the mysterious and unknowable forces at work in our lives, family histories, minds and bodies, and souls ..."

Mudo Vzz elmudolb — I liked this book, but I wasn't expecting to have to work as hard as I did. When I pick up James Joyce or Thomas Pynchon (which I don't...I'm just giving examples of non-linear, postmodern, absurd, abstract prose) I expect to have a little trouble understanding the themes, the characters or even the plot. I did not think that picking up a collection of short stories by someone I've never heard of would have me so flummoxed. Maybe I didn't read carefully enough? That's very possible. Or maybe they're obtuse and esoteric. Also possible. But if that's the case, I think Link (which I can't write or read without thinking of Zelda) was obtuse with a purpose. Which at least I considered, so maybe I understand them better than I thought. Or maybe I'm wrong. That's the thing about these stories. They're very entertaining with crazy characters and completely weird, fantastic plots replete with ghosts, Greek gods, the underworld (lots of reference to the underworld), the Donner Party (parts of them...no pun intended) and a prosthetic nose collection. They were engaging and kept me guessing-- with regard to the plot as well as what exactly Link was *getting at*. What's with all the fairy tale references? Why the very, very permeable membrane between life and afterlife, landscape and dreamscape, in all the stories? And why is everyone so weird, in general? I've seen Link classified as a horror writer and a fantasy writer. I don't think these stories fit either of those genres. They're not scary, bloody, gruesome or violent. And they're not fantasy if dwarves and halflings are prerequisites for the fantasy genre. With that said, "The Specialist's Hat" is one of the most frightening stories I've ever read, and "Travels with the Snow Queen" is definitely fantastical. But overall, Link seems to float between genres, occasionally settling in magic realism, which makes the stories all the more compelling. I will definitely read more of Link's collections. They're interesting and I'm determined to figure out what's going on in her world.

Christopher Goodspeed _oodspeed_raphic_rt — i really like its book and the movie...are twilightbook are very interesate
