We started reading Othello in my World Literature class. It was winter and we were studying tragedies. Honestly, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Would Othello be as melodramatic as Romeo & Juliet? Would it be as disturbing as Oedipus Rex? Would it be as dissatisfying as Waiting? Of all the literary genres I have read, tragedies are still among the least explored. I knew nothing of them though I had experienced my own. However, looking back now I was a bit more apprehensive than I should have been to read Shakespeare, as he grows on you and whose writing is something I have become easily acclimated to. I loved reading Othello. [image error] SPOILER! Starting Othello was interesting. I was surprised at the depth of the malicious designs of the one who inflicted the tragedy - Iago - and the mystery of his motives. I was quite satisfied in sadistic sort of way as to the impact of his actions. He targeted Othello, and yet all the pawns in his scheming, such as the wife and friends of Othello, were devastated as well. Then I experienced my own twisted catharsis: Maybe seeing the play would have a different effect, but I realized then that reading Othello was reading a tragedy that used Logos, instead of the expected tragedian pathos. Of course I felt for Othello! I was sickened by the torture Iago put him through. But secretly I marveled at the truly genius designs of Iago. He hurt who he wanted to hurt and more. Not only did he succeed in creating a hell for the person he hated, but he did it with very minimal emotional reasoning with the maximum impact possible. He decimated the happiness of everyone who surrounded his object, and in doing so that made the play Othello a truly genius tragedy. It was simply amazing, and every bit of my intellectual being appreciated the careful work that good old Bill Shakes made for us all to enjoy. Maybe he did not intend for us to take pleasure in tragedy, but what better way to heal from it than to laugh it off?

This was good, but apparently not good enough for me to remember too well. I know it was compelling, and had something to do with a self-concious, but proud, young Southern black girl who wound up roommates with a self-hating liberal whitey from Pennsylvania. The black girl's own deliberate extracation of herself from the uppity school's largely white, but even black, female community baffles and intrigues her friend, who guiltily takes pride in having a black friend, and uses it as a token to converse with her ACLU-lawyer pops, who never has enough attention for her, what with all the defending of radical protestors and AWOL soliders he's got going on. Tragedy strikes when the black girl dies - well, no spoiler there, it's in the first sentence - and our narrator, the scrawny white girl, realizes when her own family divides up, that she really has no home. The book takes a strange twist though - possibly a metaphorical one that was just beyond me - but it was enough to shake free the tender insights and leave me scratching my head. But despite feeling eft in the dark about this book's greater meaning, some of the repeated themes in the girls' lives rung true enough to give me a lot to digest, in my own somewhat ongoing battle to better understand at the core my own, and the country's historic racism.

This was a page turner and a super quick read - although I didn't find it particularly thought-provoking, the setting and characters were intriguing enough to keep me focused on the book. :)

I wanted to like this book. I really did. I just couldn't deal with it. Like many others here, I thought Hosseini's style was incredibly easy to read. That is usually not a good thing in my opinion. Throughout this entire book, I could tell you what next horrible thing would happen pages, sometimes even chapters, before it occurred. The foreshadowing was way over the top. I felt like as soon as I got over the fact that one tragedy occurred, I, as the reader, was hammered with another one. This book was written, maybe not intentionally, to end up as a movie. It did not leave me thinking and honestly, that made it feel almost like a waste of time to me.

Given Stephenson's reputation, I'm pretty surprised at the lack of sci-fi in this book. It's more of a thriller, and one of the best I've read in a while. Characters that stick with you in a globe-trotting adventure that uses technology in pretty realistic ways. The main plot arc relies on a handful of pretty crazy coincidences, but the fallout from them is so entertaining that I don't mind. Side note: I know Stephenson usually gets criticized for his lack of endings. Reamde definitely has one, though it's slightly abrupt.

**Update** I've retroactively rescinded a star from my rating after reading Scott Westerfeld's Uglies, and realizing how much Oliver ripped off from Westerfeld. I don't as a rule mind rip offs, but I mind when they don't actually improve upon the original. **end update** Some very interesting stuff here. On the one hand, the concept of love as a disease that needs to be cured has a lot of promise, and sounds perfect for a dystopian take. On the other, Oliver's specific take on it often edges towards an analogy in which teenagers know what "real" love is, and those stodgy adults are just automata worried about boring day to day life. I think this is a pretty dangerous way to think about love. Fortunately, Oliver never quite goes that far, and is very clear that her conception of love is tied up with friendship, caring, and a host of other emotions. I was particularly impressed by the character and voice of Lena, who is so authentically teenaged, and yet as far as you can get from the narrator of Before I Fall. Oliver clearly has her hand on the pulse of teen thinking. I'm a little concerned that the next novel is going to turn into a "resistance v. establishment war" type scenario, which, I've decided, is my big problem with recent dystopian series like Hunger Games and Chaos Walking. War in general bores me, and even moreso in the context of dystopia--because it doesn't seem to really serve the purposes of the dystopian novel's existence as a cautionary tale. Oh well, we'll see what happens when #2 comes out.
