Borrowed from library. Adult mystery. This one was difficult reading. It is written from the murderer's point of view.

Irritating book! The plot is convoluted enough to be interesting but protagonist, the improbably-named Primavera Blackstone is not plausible to me. Is this always true when a male author creates a female protagonist or am I being sexist? I"m sure there are exceptions, but I can't think of any.

People often say "this book inspired me to do something." People associate books with taking an interest in political and philosophical issues, with career choices, and life styles. "This book inspired me" has become such a cliché that we forget what an impact it must have had on the reader to affect his or her lives in some way. Nonetheless, Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72 was huge inspiration in my decison to pursue a career in professional journalism. Thompson the writer is often overshadowed by Thompson the personality. The drug/booze-addled mumbler is not the voice presented in his best writing. In Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72 Thompson uses the historic Nixon/Mcgovern contest to break American politics down to their most brutal level. Despite, his clear desire to see positive change in the system he never shies away from the ugly fact that American politics are not about ideology but gamesmanship. And it is the game Thompson is both fascinated and repulsed by.

I just read a curious review. There is a reviewer who requests a book and then says one of her first tests as it arrives in the mailbox is, "Just how eager am I to read it?" The book, which is featured on Amazon and all other book vending sites in the world, is listed as: a) containing 456 pages, b) 8.8 x 11.1 x 1.1 inches in landscape format, c) weighing three pounds, d) having this subtitle: "A Back-to-Basics Guide to Cleaning, Furnishing, Storing, De-Cluttering, Streamlining, Organizing, and More." This reviewer, however, a) is surprised at the book's size, hard cover, and glossy pages filled with 950 photos b) laments that the book won't fit into her purse, c) concludes that "a book of this kind of heft and size isn't going to be simple to carry with me for the kind of reading I have to do on my schedule", d) complains that the author used 950 stock photos as opposed to paying a photographer a fortune over the course of a year to take unique, individualized pictures, e) has decided that this coffee table book doesn't belong on her coffee table, which is reserved for books and magazines on art, travel, and poetry. She asserts that this book would clutter her coffee table, "just the thing that this book is trying to tell us to avoid." "It Won't Fit in My Purse" The reviewer laments that she was "forced to tote it along in my briefcase so that I could do some lunch hour reading." She points out that the author told her up front it's not the kind of book one reads cover to cover, but then couldn't figure out how exactly she would use this book: "As I started to skim through, reading a page here and a page there, I had to consider just how I would use such a book? And is it formatted for that kind of best use?" She says that her plan is to retire to a one- or two-room cabin, so extra stuff will definitely have to go, and concludes that "this book would have to go... Not only because it is so large and so heavy, but because it attempts to cover too much – some 1800 hints on how to simplify one's life." She then decides that "perhaps the author should have considered his own advice and simplified in order to be more relevant, timely, and accessible," and concludes, "the book is a clutter of far too much information. Less really is more. In this day and age of easy access to the internet, I'm not sure I see the purpose of this book at all." "It's All About Me" Here we have the reviewer who is unable to surmise that anyone else in this world (you know, the kind of people married to each other with two or three children and perhaps a house of more than four rooms) could possibly benefit from this book. "The idea of Simpler Living seems to be that when I am contemplating what to do about this and that... I would go looking for this book for advice?" For this reviewer, the profound answer is, "Um, no." When her car has stalled, she'll go to a mechanic, not a book. When she's redecorating, she'll employ her local handy person. When she's considering her finances, she'll set up an appointment with a financial advisor. When looking for specific advice in a highly timely manner, hardly anyone will go grab a book. They will go to the Internet. So, let’s chuck all multi-topic self-help or reference books! that Simpler Living is as a reference book, not a page-turning novel: the same could be said of any reference book, self-help book, or how-to book ever written. "At First Blush" The reviewer goes on to say that "Among the 1800 tips offered, a few nuggets of wisdom are useful, but they're too hard to find. In fact, at first blush, I can't recall any." She adds, for emphasis, "Most everything in the book is very general and painfully obvious." She also comes to the conclusion that there is some "questionable and odd advice", and goes on to nitpick ad nauseum. She observes, "Here's another painfully obvious example of questionable advice: 'When you send a fax, remember to indicate who it is for and who is sending it. Keep a supply of transmittal forms near your fax machine.' She says that she "had to blink at this one, because most of us in 2011 no longer use fax machines, but if we do, we surely know this basic information about sending a fax." Really? More than 19,500,000 solo entrepreneurs operating out of their homes, half of whom own fax machines, receive faxes at least once a week that do not clearly identify the sender or how to get in touch with the sender. Our reviewer has no inkling of this, and aptly demonstrates it. The reviewer concludes that because of her vast knowledge in the game of life, and because so much of this book, ADVERTISED AS A BACK TO BASIC GUIDE, is general and because the 1800 tips "are painfully obvious," there's no reason for its existence. It just adds to the "dumbing down of America." The narcissistic reviewer ends with the admonition to readers, "keep your money, pass on buying this one." We must admire the reviewer's individuality. After all, these are her opinions, even if they are at odds with 60+ others who have given the book a favorable review. The four different acquisition editors at the four book clubs that selected Simpler Living also must not know too much about what people need these days. The foreign publishers around the world such as those in China, Finland, and Indonesia, who have seen fit to translate the material in this book, probably have no idea what the citizens of their respective countries need, either. Never mind that the advice contained within has been serialized in magazines and newspapers across America and around the world. Never mind that it was featured by Rodale as a monthly column, and Boom Magazine in the Triangle area in North Carolina currently features excerpts as a monthly column. Never mind that the career track division of Skill Path produced a four-CD audio book on the material. Thus, let's give this reviewer five stars for originality, cynicism, and a parallax view that only a person living alone in a one-room cabin in Montana could hope to offer. This reviewer, stating forthrightly that the material in this book is not for her, and by twisted logic, therefore not for anybody, tells us all to save our money. The only books that should ever be published are those that have direct, complete applicability to you! Look I don't mind her review but I found the book and author to be very intriguing. Simply, I like a book like this. Not everything in it applies to me but enough does and it's darn useful.

I picked this book by the cover, as I am prone to doing. (Browsing at the library has a visual component for me), but I really enjoyed the writing and story. I have Three Junes to read next.

Funny! I really liked the parts about TV, management, Sarah Palin, and it's nice to read a funny memoir-ish book by a dorky, type A perfectionist. I thought a slight but discernable strain of self pity undermined her discussion of being a harried working woman/mom somewhat.

Was a very good book to start off the series. DO NOT watch the movie made in 2006. Terribale and it doesn't follow the book.

It is a very nice set of problems in many different subjects such as Analysis,Algebra... I've solved the Calculus and Analysis and I highly improve my solving problems power.
Totally worthwhile, semi-substantive gym read.
