Should be required reading for anyone who wants to understand what they're actually reading during Bible study...

I remember being very perplexed when I was led to this book. I guess that's what drew me to the title in the first place. I was already aware of "Small is Beautiful" so Schumacher was a familiar name. I was very taken with his notion of philosophical map making. I don't think I had quite fully realised before that I hadn't got such a map. It helped me to understand why I felt somewhat lost in my life. This passage is still poignant. "The first principle of the philosophical map-makers seemed to be 'If in doubt, leave it out,' or put it into a museum. It occurred to me, however, that the question of what constitutes proof was a very subtle and difficult one. Would it not be wiser to turn the priciple into its opposite and say, 'If in doubt, show it prominently'? After all, matters that are beyond doubt are, in a sense, dead; they do not constitute a challenge to the living." This was a kind of watershed for me. Previously, I was only interested in the certainties of life, that which can be known. I was at my happiest working out a mathematical proof or constructing a computer program to solve a well-defined problem. From this point onwards I became fascinated with the far richer world of that which isn't known, and quite possibly can never be known. I think Schumacher's message can best be summarised by saying that in life we each have to create our own philosophical map. We are not going to get given one. He provides some useful tools to get us started.

This is book one of The Magician Trilogy and I liked it well enough to look for the second one. Gwynn's grandmother recognizes that he may be a magician, so she gives him five strange gifts. Gwynn is an appealing hero and he is able to bring back his lost sister, temporarily, and mend the problem with his father that has existed for years.

Ursula K. LeGuin is a genius. I had never read any of her short stories, only the Earthsea novels. This woman can write, and the language is so spare and beautiful and elegant. Some of the stories are gently humorous and others are austere and mournful, but all of them are little gems. Based on this, I started picking up her older Ekumen books and now am enjoying the young adult books she's written recently.

I really did not like Grace at all, but somewhere about halfway- when I realised what was happening- this big ball of pity just started snowballing from there. I still don't like her, and I think she didn't handle situations as well as she could have, but I guess everyone has their faults. Ethan and Devon were the best parts of the book, in my opinion, which is weird (view spoiler). The cover is gorgeous.

Author Susan Hasler spent 21 years working for the CIA and knows what it is like to toil in an intelligence agency. I was keen to read this book, hoping for a good thriller that also paints a realistic picture of what life is like at the nation's best-known spy agency. The writing in Intelligence is a bit self-consciously "cute", but I might have been able to tolerate that in an otherwise enjoyable book. However, Ms.Hasler was clearly presenting such an inaccurate picture of CIA employees that she lost all credibility; I lost interest and stopped reading. I simply cannot believe that a CIA employee would call a co-worker at home and reveal the obviously classified intelligence item she has just discovered and wants to discuss with him when he gets to work, as Fran does in Chapter 15. If she had, Doc would have shushed her immediately. Later an employee's husband, who does not work at the CIA, knows more about what she is doing than she would be allowed to reveal. Ms.Hasler knows better, and my feeling is that if she cannot present such obvious details accurately, the rest of her story will be TOO MUCH fiction to be of interest. If you are going to tout your credentials as an insider when writing fiction, you owe it to your audience to present the environment you are writing about as accurately as possible. I was very disappointed. If you would like to read a more plausible thriller about the inside of an intelligence agency written by someone who knows that agency, I'd recommend instead Betsy Harrigan's 9800 Savage Road, in which a murder takes place inside the super-secret National Security Agency.

Jaq's sister is dying. And if she doesn't steal a cure for her, there is no hope. So Jaq sneaks her way onto the floating island that the Giant corporation calls home. There, she runs into her ex-fiance, Harp, who is on an undercover mission to take down the company and its corrupt owner. And of course, the heat between them ignites all over again. This is a short story, only 67 pages. So there's not a lot of room for anything too deep. Basically, you've got two questions that play out: Can Jaq & Harp escape with the antidote and evidence they need? And can they get over the issues that drove them apart to find their way back together? It's not too much of a leap to figure out what the answers will be, but it's a fun enough ride to get from Point A to Point B. It's just hard to care much for the characters when we have so little time to get invested in them. (And Ella Drake adds her signature fairy tale twist, with a brief nod to Jack & the Beanstalk by incorporating magic beans and a "Giant" into the novella... but it does little to add or detract from the story when all is said and done.) 3 1/2 stars.

A cute circle book on cause and effect! This narrative is about the demands of a little rodent and the silly and funny logic behind accommodating the requests. Fun read-a-loud! Early Literacy Skills: Narrative Skills Print Motivation

gallagher disputes the theory that confederates lost the war because of a lack of will to fight and, in turn, praises that confederate spirit. i find after reading all of his citations, various letters to and from home and the battlefields, that the confederate soldiers didn't really know what they were fighting for, and every reason is jam-packed with empty rhetoric about "this great nation." gallagher follows this opnion when he calls into question the legitimacy of the confederacy AS A NATION, and he aptly notes that only by virtue of its military, could the confederate states have resembled anything. and look at how that turned out... yet the book doesn't fail to strike home with htis southern girl, and i cringe when i admit, that after reading all these words on the civil war in the past ouple years, something in me still roots for the confederacy and all its empty rhetoric.
