Currently rereading, for my class...a unique if frustrating book.

The plotting / tension / suspense / cliff-hanger-esque endings are just so obvious, I kept chuckling while reading this.

As a general rule, travel books don’t catch my eye at a bookstore. As the saying goes, “rules are made to be broken” and that is what applies when I speak of Bill Bryson. His book “Lost Continent” is an amusing travel spoof written by (and seemingly for) an expatriate. I’m sure that most people can see the humor in his everyday observations of daily life in the United States but after living abroad for as long as I have the everyday has attained the unique status. I look at my native country (as Bryson does) through European eyes. Bill Bryson has a true talent at making prose flow and I would highly recommend “Lost Continent” to anyone from anywhere.

I read this book over the course of three months. I don't know whether to attribute this to my lack of attention span or the subject matter, which, while extremely interesting, didn't really keep me on the edge of my seat. Not that there isn't enough suspense built in-- will democracy in Iraq take hold? Will Zakaria actually provide any solutions rather than precisely detailing the pit falls of democracy? I joke, but it's a pretty great book for anyone who wants a primer on democracy, how it works and why it fails. The chapter on Islam is particularly revealing. Zakaria is a master of context, but one must remember he's still an elitist. Otherwise, a solid, smart book.

In it we hear that what is new in our times is the lack of guidance amid a plethora of choice. The Gods, or belief in a God, is what took care of individual's decisions in life and that in today's society we are on our own, free will is at the cafeteria and the lunch lady of the past is not doling out what we consume anymore. Hey, what do you know, we have to be adult, be mature, take responsibility for our choices. Ahab was a zealot, who could avoid choice, his self assurance precluded reasoning. Dante's Hell was for people that lived outside the scope of worship, not for sinners. Christ's way or the Highway to Hell. The literary topics are a gem to read, so far.

Overall I'd rate this as a good read. I wanted to find out what happend to the characters and while I guessed some of the outcome I was far from guessing all of what was going on. I found the narrative structure annoying, particularly (as a friend pointed out) the change between present and past tense all the time (I knew something was jarring, I just couldn't put my finger on why it felt wrong). Not that I can cast too many stones with my grammatically challenged writing. Despite the irritations and some small frustrations in the plot the story is engaging and I'm glad my bookclub picked it to read.

I got this book for Christmas - my husband picked it out all by his onesie! - and I hoped for better things than Ahmad delivered. This is a woman who has led an intriguing life...but she writes in a style that is at once ornate and tedious. I got the impression that she thinks of her life as "a woman's journey", and she writes about that; but I wanted to know about Leila, about who she was and is, and she is oddly careful to hide all that. This is a memoir that reads like a sociology text...dull, dull, dull.

I have been struggling to read this book. I like the "raw realism" of Bukowski, and I generally like reading about dirt bags and all the crazy shit they get into. But listening to Bukowski brag about the women he has banged and left, cheated on, treated like shit, etc, just sounds pathetic, boring, and repetitive. Bukowski sounds like the guy that was shit on for about half his life, finally made it big as a writer, and now insists on shitting on everyone else for the remainder of his life. That may be a reason for being an asshole, but its not a license to be an asshole.
