Such a pleasure to read. Each story is a little gem.

Heee-larious. I had settled down to read this and had to get up after the first couple of pages to share the funny parts with my family. The story goes like this: Jacobs, a master at self-deprecation, decides to read the Encyclopedia Britannica to smarten himself up. The chapters are organized alphabetically, like the Britannica. In each chapter, Jacobs shares interesting things he is learning and the happenings of his life at the same time. Jacobs' experience with the television show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" is one of my favorite parts of the book. I took my time reading this, enjoying a little piece at a time. With the set-up of the chapters, the book can read like a compilation of short stories. I enjoyed reading this out-loud with friends.

Okay, how long 'till my kids are old enough for these books to be our bedtime stories? I am dying to read them out loud and share the snickers with my rug rats. I suspect the Larklight books will be quite the hit at our house in another year or so. PS--I adore Art & Myrtle's sibling love :)

Amazing character study... Absolutely brilliant words. Easy to read and very very captivating. The love Heathcliff has towards Catherine is the most brillinat portrayals of all - for me. I loved this book and hated it at the same time. for the monstrosity of the characters - I hated it. For the feelings it inspired in me - I hated it. For the prose - I loved it.

Lost most of the silliness that reared its ugly head in Emerald Sea.

Environmental ethics meets fiction - awesome book for enviros! I personally found the lead character frustrating, which may very well be intentional, but thoroughly loved the exercise in thought.

Nice, easy to read book. I "liked" it but I'm still not as impressed as some have told me I'd be. I'm trying to like Reacher but I don't feel him yet as I do with some book characters.

The history of the far side is very interesting... not good and not bad... just interesting...

Praise for Miss Etta and Dr. Claribel: "More than just the fascinating story of two sisters from Baltimore who amassed a remarkable collection of artwork by Matisse and his contemporaries, this is also the story of Matisse, Picasso, and Gertrude and Leo Stein, all of whom figure prominently. Fillion, who teaches drawing at the Baltimore Museum of Art (where the Cone sisters' collection can be seen today), contributes paintings in the style of Matisse to illustrate the major players, their encounters, and travels. The sisters' personalities and passions come through vividly in Fillion's prose, while many captioned reproductions of paintings and drawings (from the Cone collection and elsewhere) both inform and point to the excitement of the art world in the early 20th century. As Claribel Cone put it, 'I took beauty where I found it.'" Ages 10–up. (July) —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "An affectionate, lively examination of the reciprocal relationship between a great artist and two great art lovers. . . . Fillion sketches her characters neatly and swiftly, following the women over the next decades as they amassed what became one of the most significant American collections of modern European art. Though this is not a beginner's text, she folds in economical explanations of early-20th-century European art, cogently contextualizing Matisse and his contemporaries. Their account is lavishly illustrated in full color by reproductions from the Cone Collection at the Baltimore Museum of Art and Matisse-inflected paintings by the author, who drew extensively on the Cone archive that is also housed at the museum. . . . This appealing work stands as both a portrait of two unconventional women and a celebration of the possibilities of arts patronage." —Kirkus Reviews Art exhibitions related to the book will open across the country in 2011: Collecting Matisse and Modern Masters: The Cone Sisters of Baltimore The Jewish Museum (May 8–Sept. 25, 2011); travels to Vancouver Catalogue: JM/Yale Seeing Gertrude Stein: Five Stories Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco (May 12–Sept. 6, 2011) Catalogue: U.
