Regency romance can not get cuter than this. I absolutely adored the heroine.

A really nice inside history of The Doors and Jim Morrison by drummer John Densmore. For those who find Morrison interesting (personally I'm fascinated), this is a great window into the world of the Lizard King.

My second time to read this. My son was reading it for his modern novels class (last time my students had Reading Lolita in Tehran for a universal read). Nabokov does a good job of putting you in Humbert's skin (not a pleasant place to be). --the question my son's professor asked--Does reading Lolita corrupt you?--I don't think so. You understand his lust (and Nabokov directs it at a 12 year old girl!), but I don't think it makes us lust after 12 year old girls. I cannot imagine what it is like to have a gambling addiction. But after a novel by Nabokov about it, I bet I would have a better understanding of it. I hated Humbert after the first read. This time I had more empathy (but no sympathy). The Annotated edition is very good. Lots of stuff I would have missed. However you really need to read the whole thing through once before you check out notes.

I'm "taking" the Yale Open Course in The American Novel Since 1945 (http://oyc.yale.edu/english/american-...), and "Wise Blood" is one of the readings. It tells of Hazel Motes, a young man from Tennessee recently returned to the South after several years of fighting overseas. His grandfather was a preacher, and people keep believing he is one. When he does preach, it's outside of movie theaters, and is for the Church Without Christ. My favorite part is when a man named Holy tries to join him and make it the Holy Church of Christ Without Christ. "'Now I want to give you folks a few reasons why you can trust this church,' he said. ... 'You don't have to believe nothing you don't understand and approve of. If you don't understand it, it ain't true, and that's all there is to it. ...I want to tell you a second reason why you can absolutely trust this church--it's based on the Bible. Yes sir! It's based on your own personal interpitation of the Bible, friends. You can sit at home and interpit your own Bible however you feel in your heart it ought to be interpited. That's right, ' he said, 'just the way Jesus would have done it. ... That ought to be enough reasons, friends,' Ornie Jay Holy said, 'but I'm going to tell you one more, just to show I can. This church is up-to-date! When you're in this church you can know that there's nothing or nobody ahead of you, nobody knows nothing you don't know, all the cards are on the table, friends, and that's a fack!'" The story also suggests that might be a different way to keep Sabbath, but you'll have to read it to discover that for yourself. The story reminds me a little of Graham Greene's The Power and the Glory and The End of the Affair in its suggestion of a kind of sainthood or Christ-likeness in the most unlikely person/people. Yet Greene had nothing on O'Connor when it came to a truly dark and twisted vision of humanity. I don't seem to read her stories, but be seared by them. It will take me much longer to digest this one, but on the surface now, after having just finished it, and seeing "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" follows, I admit that this story was not as powerful to me as "A Good Man." This story I may eventually recover from; that, never. And I can't even see the title without remembering what the professor who introduced me to "A Good Man" would quote of O'Connor on her own work--that "for the almost deaf, you shout, and for the almost blind, you draw large and startling pictures." I gave the story two stars based on how much I enjoyed it, not on how good it is. My enjoyment is not the most important measure, just the only one you can't know unless I share it.

I liked this much more than American Psycho, but that's not saying much.

This is a excellent book- it's both exceedingly entertaining and enlightening. While it isn't primarily a utopian/dystopian novel, it in many ways acts as one. Stephenson creates a world with a new sort of government, that is, one that has many governments not bounded by land but rather by voluntary membership. This is a facinating setting for a facinating plot.

Dr. Alex Delaware seems a likable character for a series of mysteries. I am tempted to try more.
