Now this is the fluff I've been looking for! And I know it has a murder and everything, but it's still delicious, delicious fluff. We'll get the bad stuff out of the way first: it was cliched. I guessed who the villain was as soon as they appeared in the book. I even guessed the why of the murder correctly. If you've seen enough cop shows, you'll get it, too. And the love triangle was weak. There's nice-guy ex-boyfriend Justin, who has always accepted Clare for exactly who she is, but whose betrayal Clare can't forgive. And there's bad-boy cop's son Gabriel (comes complete with mysterious tattoo!) who thinks Clare and her family are frauds (they are for realz psychic). Both boys were cookie-cutter and I do not care who she ends up with. Also, I wanted to shake sense into Clare's mom, who acts about sixteen years old most of the book. BUT none of those complaints matter. Why? Because it was just...fluffy. And not boring. And nothing that was wrong with the book bothered me while I was reading. It's basically like a Meg Cabot book. Sure, it's about as substantial as cotton candy, but who cares? It's so enjoyable while it lasts. I think my favorite part of the book was Clare being in the family business, which is to be psychic. Mom can read minds, brother can talk to ghosts and Clare can glimpse the past through touching objects. It's a fun twist to the whole I-have-to-work-at-my-parent's-business thing. Giving psychic readings is much cooler than working in your parent's grocery store! But both come with certain obligations and responsibilities and the complicated dynamics of family. Also liked that Clare's brother was the main murder suspect (to the police, not to Clare). It gave Clare more of an incentive to actually solve the murder and again has the family dynamic thing that really gets me in stories (ah, blood loyalties). This is pretty much the perfect beach read. You can practically smell the ocean from the book (takes place in the summer in an East Coast beach town). One more thing that's not a knock on the book but that has been bothering me recently that happened to come up in the book: you know how sometimes in movies (and books) bystanders have completely unnatural reactions to actual events and instead act as audience surrogates? Like, at the end of The Proposal the two main characters share The Big Kiss and everyone in the audience is going Awww and inwardly cheering. But, strangely, the other employees who are standing around during The Big Kiss scene form a circle around the couple and start clapping. You know what real people would do if they saw their co-worker and boss making out in the middle of the office? Either start gossiping like mad immediately or give looks of disgusts and silent disdain toward unnecessary PDA in the office. This relates back to Clarity because there's a scene where Clare confronts the resident Mean Girl in the restaurant where Mean Girl works. Mean Girl spit in Clare's drink and after some sniping between them, Clare throws her drink at Mean Girl. The audience, of course, cheers, because we hate Mean Girl. Weirdly, though, cop and cop's son (aforementioned love interest Gabriel), who have never met Clare before and probably only know Mean Girl as their waitress, are all impressed and give her "give 'em hell!" looks. Umm....if a random girl threw a drink at the waitress, I wouldn't know if they were bitter rivals or if random girl was just angry because her food was cold. I'd be a little worried if she came over to my table and started talking to me.

The Price of Freedom presents excerpts from the journals of Henry David Thoreau in which he writes about law, government, man in society, war, economics, duty, and conscience. Thoreau had to be somewhat cautious when speaking or publishing, but in his journal he felt free to entertain thoughts that have been described as “blasphemous, revolutionary, or, at best, politically incautious” and therefore were never published during his lifetime These show Thoreau to be uncompromising in his disgust with the government, with church authority, with the news media, and with slavery and those who would accommodate it. They also show a Thoreau who defended wilderness against “improvement,” who was as curious about economics as he was about trees and turtles, who wrestled with arguments for animal rights, and who went from thinking of soldiers as almost mythological heroes to thinking of them as “powder monkeys” who had mortgaged their consciences to no good end. Thoreau’s abolitionism was more radical than most—indeed, the mental slavery he opposed has yet to be abolished, and the battle over whether our souls shall be slave states or free soil is a civil war that continues to be fought. Thoreau sided with freedom. The passages in this volume are part of what he considered “the price of freedom”—his attempts to mine the richest vein of observations about human and political life, and to preserve what he found free from all censorship.
