I'm a little biased when I put 5 stars on this one because I'm a huge Lucille Ball fan. This is an autobiography but it was actually transcribed from tapes she recorded towards the end of her life. It's amazing to hear Lucy's account of her life: from her truly working class childhood and close family ties to her divorce from Desi and movie star friends. <3

Bach has written another imaginative book with Out of My Mind. Bach lovers and anyone who reminiscences of days flying biplanes with the wind in your hair will enjoy reading this story. Love when Bach says, "Everything in the physical world is imagination dressed to look solid."

This book was a little slow at first, but worth the effort. Just an interesting and unique idea! I couldn't put it down for the last 100 pages.

I loved this book. Was up late most nights giggling and identifyng with so much of what Caitlin Moran wrote. A great read by a very funny, very interesting thinker and wise commentator on our times. Just found a BFFL and a whole new commitment to being a woman - a feminist woman!

Unbowed is Wangari Maathai's memoir, beginning with her childhood in Kenya and culminating in her acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize. Maathai is the founder of the Green Belt Movement, a grassroots organization whose main focus is planting trees. Through the Green Belt Movement environmentally degraded areas of Africa (and across the world) are being restored mainly by women. I found the early part of the memoir about her childhood in Kenya and her early education to be the most interesting reading.

** spoiler alert ** This is one of those books that I probably would have liked better if I hadn't gotten an idea about what I was reading halfway through, and then the narrative changed on me. So, in the world of the Twelve Kingdoms, divine creatures, kirin, are able to mystically sense the best person for ruler-ship and that person then becomes immortal and Heaven's chosen ruler of the kingdom. If the king is good at his (or her) job, the kingdom prospers. If the king is actually callous and cruel, the kingdom suffers, demons start showing up, and eventually the kirin gets sick and the king loses his or her immortality and dies, as the Mandate of Heaven passes from him/her, and the kirin (or a new one, if the kirin dies) has to choose a new king. This story follows Rokuta the kirin of En and Shoryu, the king of En. Both lived in Japan for periods of their lives -- Rokuta was abandoned as a child when wars meant that his foster parents couldn't feed him, and Shoryu used to be a warlord's son whose people were slaughtered by a rival. The story stars out with Shoryu attempting to patch up the kingdom after the previous king went crazy and started killing people (and insisting that his underlings impose his draconian polices or he'd kill them). The regent son-of-the-governor of one of the provinces, Atsuyu, is trying to get the king to delegate power to him to fix the levees before the fall floods, but Shoryu is still trying to clear house of all the previous administration's corruption. So Atsuyu kidnaps Rokuta and tries to use him to blackmail Shoryu into giving him power. Now, here was when I think that this is the possibility of having a protagonist and antagonist who are both right and decent people but stuck on opposite sides and cannot easily reconcile. Sadly, as Rokuta investigates, Atsuyu loses most of his virtuous appeal as a governor, which shows why he didn't attempt to seek out an actual appointed position. Turns out, he just wanted power, while Shoryu wanted a kingdom to make peoples' lives better, so it ended up being a more straightforward story, with a bit of cleverness in Shoryu's use of his limited resources. One thing I liked was Shoryu mentioning how powerful the idea of a Divinely-Appointed King was -- that the people wanted to believe in that he was a good king because the Owl King left them next to nothing, and that could be used as a weapon as much as his army to keep everyone from gathering their own armies and marching on the capital. On the other hand, as Rokuta is quick to remember, even a good ruler can go bad -- the Owl King was divinely appointed. Don't get me wrong, it was a good book and I enjoyed it. I just got stuck on an idea of something else, which cast a shadow over the rest of the book.
