this is the only book i've ever read while pacing. it created a near-religious fervor in me. the language awed me. the description of death for the living made me afraid. felt like little bones snapping in my chest. felt like there might be graveyard dirt under my fingernails when i shut its cover.

The book is collection of studies in risk management edited by two professors from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. It is a welcome addition to the risk literature and tells us that globally we must strive to be more prepared to deal with disasters, both predictable and of the "black swan" variety.

The Science of Single. We were so hopeful when we got this one in the mail. After all, if someone could actually explain the science of dating, the common laws of attraction, compatibility and mate selection, that would be helpful to a whole swath of the populace that is still struggling to find their ideal mate. Unfortunately, this is not that. What this is, is one woman’s journey through a year of dating ‘experiments’ in different cities finding out what works and what doesn’t when it comes to meeting members of the opposite sex. In a far less than scientific quest, Machacek tries her hand at dating through the usual methods of single’s events, personal ads, online dating and in this case, travel, only to reject most of her erstwhile candidates as being a bunch of letdowns, unworthy of much continued attention. She seems to spend inordinate amounts of time worrying about how they dress, who pays for what, whether to kiss or hug, and continually focusing on trivial matters like do her prospective paramours know the ingredients in ceviche. Meh. Of course, what this drive-by dating diary fails to acknowledge is that dating and ultimately mating is not merely about chemistry and sexual compatibility (which she hardly even gets to here) but that a true journey towards compatibility involves many deeper issues, feelings, backgrounds and emotions that the author either fails to understand or prefers to endlessly gloss over in her desultory quest for Mr. Almost Perfect, please. By the end, it is apparent that most of Machacek’s problem with dating is Machacek herself. For some reason, Machacek, who admits she was not much of a dater prior to the book (it shows), is expecting one of these dates to ‘light her fire’; to exhibit all the exciting qualities that she is looking for in her mythical man. Yet, nowhere along the way does Machacek offer any compelling evidence that she herself is even worth a second date. Regretfully, she appears (in the book at least) to have little personal scintillation, no joie de vivre, no passion, no intellectually stimulative qualities or any kind of sizzle that would make her remotely enticing to any of the subjects of her quest. Her dating personality comes off as pedestrian, lifeless and boring and while her ‘marketing campaign’ may be admirable, the product comes across as simply too shoddy. Machacek fails to understand one of the first rules of life and dating; you get what you give. In short, Machacek, a freelance writer with a background in the home and hardware industry, wastes both her and her reader’s time by not knowing who she is or what she wants; having the epidemic too-high standards and wallowing in both self-pity and a debilitating superficiality reserved at best for teenagers who are merely out to have a good time. (Given her pervasive insecurities, she rarely even succeeds at that.) Dating, in Machacek’s view, often comes off as a chore; another job, something that exhausts her along the way, a bitter ennui. But is that because the candidates are all weak or does the subject suffer from a fatal combination of awkwardness, bad attitude and aim? (Are we really expected to better understand dating from someone who appears to be so bad at it herself?) By the end, Machacek finally acknowledges the folly of her ways, but not til after she wastes a year of her life and has exhausted all the chapters (and the reader) of her less-than-compelling book. A far better read in this category is Lori Gottleib’s highly-recommended, “Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough,” which while being equally autobiographical, is infused with real science from PhDs, scholars, dating coaches, statistical analysis, superior writing and a real personality behind its authorship. (In other words, a good read!) The misuse of the term ’science’ in the title of this volume, sets the reader up for a big disappointment. The book itself is breezy, but ultimately, for those trying to increase their comprehension of an admittedly complex and confusing subject, remains as inconsequential as her lackluster story itself.

I used to love this book. There was a little girl who lived in an orphanage and up came a giant. This giant seemed mean at first but then he turned out to be pretty friendly. He told her that although he did not eat people there were others like him who do eat people. Throughout this book they were trying to find plans to defeat these human eaters and protect the rest of the humans.

This installment is all over the map. It felt a little disjointed but it still works. Ms. Harrison knows her characters and is a master at bringing out new dimensions to their lives in creative ways. I am not a hardcore fan of the series but find that I can't put it down once I pick one up. The main character, Rachael Morgan is a witch. Witches are not my favs because the magical rules can be confusing if it's not done well. Ms. Harrison not only does it well, she is constantly building on the magical foundation to give Rachael more range. I like that. In this installment, Rachael is being hunted by the white witch conven that governs witches. She is considered a black witch because she can twist a black curse and summon demons. It's complicated. On the one hand, Rachael is a black witch whether she wants to face it or not. On the other hand, she is not evil. The coven doesn't really care because they are earth witches and anything outside that world is evil to them. They want her dead or imprisioned or worst. As usual, Rachael tries to fix the problem without getting her hands dirty or getting her friends killed. I don't understand why she has not figured out that some problems have to die to be solved. Piscary should have taught her that but no. Nick is back in this installment to make the point all over again. I liked where Rachael is with Ivy although I still think that relationship is dysfunctional. Jenks goes through some changes in this book resulting in my respect meter going up. I was tired of waiting on his situation to be resolved and it was. It might sound cold but I believe in pulling the bandage off and getting it over with. Ceri makes a brief appearance but it was important. Trent is not in many scenes but he becomes a major part of how it is all resolved. The high point for me was a newly developed love of Al and Pierce. Rachael still has emotional scars from Nick and Kristen which she is trying to put into perspective. I don't know what happened to the guy named Marshall but he is mentioned twice and doesn't come back in this one. Pierce goes all in to protect her and win her heart. A part of me wanted to see them get together while being concerned that it would be the beginning of the end of Pierce. Why? Because Ms. Harrison doesn't seem to want to give Rachael a long term mate. Rachael love life is like milk -- limited shelf life. I am going with 4 stars because the plot did not flow as smoothly as I would have liked but the story was good overall.

I as many others, grew up with the animated cartoon version of Charlotte's Web. Personally, I had a love/hate for it. I'd watch the movie until the last five minutes when Charlotte dies (ejecting the VHS tape... throwback for you guys). As a child I loved Charlotte, and thought it was a joke that you're supposed to not feel so bad after she dies because her children are born... and then leave Wilbur. No more about my early 90s childhood memories, yes? What I was trying to say was that I grew up with Charlotte's Web, but never read the book, until three years ago when I was 22. I was expecting to have the same feelings I did as a child and apparently... I was wrong...ish. I had the pleasure of reading/listening to the audio book of Charlotte's Web which was read by the author, E.B. White. That was pretty amazing in itself. If you can get a hold of a copy I highly suggest that you listen to that version of the audio book. Usually, I am not one to look for metaphors, themes, etc in books. In fact I usually detest them (thanks English class). But this book had themes screaming from it. • Life, the universe and everything... 42 (HHGTTG). When Wilbur was moved to Fern's uncle's barn, Fern visited him occasionally. On a day when she did not visit, Wilbur wondered why he should be alive, and what was the meaning of life and the poignant fact that he's only two months old, so if he was this depressed at two months then what's the point of living? That's huge. It's a kids book and that's so deep. Especially when I felt that White's not trying to hide Wilbur's depression and thoughts at all. • Wizard's First Rule: People are stupid (Sword of Truth/Legend of the Seeker). Charlotte did not view humans as... smart. She repeatedly said they are gullible, stupid, etc. It was on this point that she gets the idea to spin the words in her webs about Wilbur. All of the humans blatantly ignore that spider spun words into a web. All of the humans looked past that and believed the miracle to be what the words said, 'Some Pig', meaning Wilbur, therefore Wilbur was a miracle. Only one character brings up the point about the words being a miracle, but she is dismissed. And of course this happens two more times and hundreds of people see the words in the web and all believe that the pig is the miracle and not the spider. If this isn't a view of society (well the human mind), than I don't know what is. • Growing Up (Now I feel bad that I didn't get a phrase from a book for this one). This one was focused on Fern. Throughout the novel, her mother was worried about Fern's mental stability since she spent all of her days in the barn, claiming the animals could talk, and not with boys or playing with other children. Fern's mother, Mrs. Arable, even went as far as to consult with a therapist about Fern, who said not to worry. Of course, when the first of two days of the Fair comes, Fern took a ride with a boy named Henry Fussy on the ferries wheel. That day, the first day, she divided her attention between Wilbur and Henry equally. The second day of the Fair however, the day that Wilbur won his prize, Fern was only concerned on one thing: Henry Fussy. She literally did not care about her family's excitement that Wilbur had been called up to receive a medal. She was begging her mother for money to ride the Ferris wheel with Henry Fussy again (by the way, he was always referred to as 'Henry Fussy' not just 'Henry'). The aftermath of the fair, Fern spent less and less time at the barn, thinking of it as childish and more time thinking of her time on the Ferris wheel with Henry Fussy (her brother made fun of her since the summer had long past). It bugged me a little, because Fern was only eight years old in this novel. She's not old enough to think 'oh this is too childish, I need to think about boys'. I don't know, maybe because it also infuriated me that she just dropped Wilbur so fast, when in the start of the novel she'd do anything for him. And all because of Henry Fussy. (Dear E.B. White, What kind of a last name for a character let alone a small boy, was 'Fussy'? Sincerely, Me). In the 70s cartoon, I thought just about every character was annoying. I hated Wilbur because he whined too much and cried all the time. I hated Templeton because he was the bad guy. Didn't really like the humans or the animals either because they were berks. The only thing I liked was Charlotte and they killed her. So... imagine my surprise with the novel. I didn't really have a problem with any of the characters in this novel. The only one that bugged me was Fern's older brother, Avery, but even he kind of redeemed himself when Wilbur received his prize at the Fair and he was present and serious for a change (unlike Fern, for once she was absent and immature). I think it's rare that a book (or anything really) has every single character be likeable. (By the way, apparently, E.B. White hated the 1970s cartoon of Charlotte's Web.) I honestly found this book very enjoyable. Find more reviews at Books A to Z http://booksaz.wordpress.com/

Nancy Pickard has become one of my favorite authors. Her descriptions of Kansas really make the landscape come to life and are so completely realistic it makes me a little bit homesick for the Sunflower State. This book is wonderfully written and I became very invested in the characters ... even Billy. Love when authors lead me to think one thing and then turn the story on a dime to surprise me. Pickard does this masterfully. Can't wait for her next book to come out!

I've been debating whether to give this book one star or two. I really didn't like it at all. I found the characters unsympathetic, the prose to be heavy, the point obscured. I decided to give the book the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps, as so many people seem to think, it is a tremendous literary work, and I'm just too dense to appreciate it.
