Dune is a compelling landscape of ecology, technology, culture, politics, and ideas. In short, it's truly a masterpiece. That said: Do you remember lateral thinking problems? They re-entered the vogue, or perhaps just my consciousness about 10 years ago. To be fair, I've never read any of Edward De Bono's books, and maybe I will, but I found those problems really annoying.. Some of the answers were borderline obvious ("he knew he was in Australia because the water went down the drain the opposite direction") while others were merely discarded beginnings of movies such as "Dude Where's My Car" or "The Hangover" (A man wakes up in the desert with one burnt match, frost bite on his left hand, a string of multi-colored hankerchiefs, and half a gallon of margarita mix. What the hell happened to him last night?). I remember that one of the notions [maybe apocryphal) of LTPs that I heard over and over was that computers couldn't do them. Only the unique and powerful human mind could, through yes or no questions, construct the stories that explained these scenarios. And so I wonder, could a Mentat solve a lateral thinking problem? The Mentat is simultaneously one of the coolest and most dated of Dune creations. Herbert reiterates several times that Mentat reasoning was more effective than the most powerful computers of Earth's golden age. Think about it. When Herbert was writing Dune the most advanced computer game was "SpaceWars!" They could not "play DOOM." Packet networks (the interwebs) were a mere theory. Transistors were brand new to the computing world. So on rereading "Dune" I spend most of the time wondering about the limitations of a Mentat. I imagine a Mentat would have the edge on all of my friends who applied for investment banking positions five or so years ago when interviews asked questions like "How many golf balls would fit on a 727?" But would I enjoy going on a date with a mentat? Or, since Herbert refers to the "golden age," is it safe to assume that a masterful mentat (or at least Duncan Idaho) would be able to beat Deep Blue at chess?

This is... well, amazing. I couldn't put it down, and it's one of those books that didn't make me grind my teeth. Jung's ability to weave together the life story of her grandmother, mother, and her own story was nothing short of amazing. I especially loved the section on her grandmother and just how cohesive it seemed to be. In this biography/autobiography, we get a look at there women who grew up in three very different times in China. We have the grandmother during the last faltering years of the Qing dynasty and the building of warlord China. We have the mother during the early years of the communist regime when it still seemed like it might work. And we have the daughter, growing up in the midst of the Cultural Revolution. It's three startling different stories and I really enjoyed it!

Very romantic, maybe too romantic. I couldn't buy into the premise of Max's condition which is strange considering I loved the Time Traveler's Wife and the Outlander series.

This one was a bit over-the-top sometimes, but for the most part, it was really fun!

I preferred her two later books, which are more thematic, but enjoyed these essays start to finish.

An interesting modern-day fairy story.

I laughed out loud. I cried. I was emotionally involved in this book. I connected with Henry, I connected with Clare. Audrey Niffenegger wrote a fantastic book. The characters were so real and their life stories so well built, it was easy to overlook the fact that time travel is fictional. I enjoyed this from beginning to end, although it took me months to actually get up the courage to read the end of the book. I will reccomend this book to anyone who loves a good love story, a good fiction, or just a good book.

A fantastic work of fiction that is exactly what I hope novels to be when I'm looking for a break from non-fiction. The author's colorful descriptions of an unlikely band of characters transport you to the Pink House, a soulful place of self-discovery and healing set against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement in the South in the 1960s.

Quite addictive at the beginning...I felt the same as when I read The Da Vinci Code...it started OK! but then got a bit boring...Anyways, cool description of the Barcelona of spanish civil after war. Once I'm back I'd love to visit the places described in the book-specially la plaça de Felip Neri (lovely spot).
