I love this book. It brings you right into Jane Austen's life. You see her suffer, laugh and be happy and you see her create her fantastic works. It's one of the best biographies I've ever read.

I teach a creative writing class. My students (about three of them) are trying to write a non-cliche vampire novel. Hence, the past three months I've been reading all sorts of vampire novels. I read most of Anne Rice's books (Interview with a Vampire) in hs/college and I liked her work. I'm really, really, really into these Dead books. My friend Brandy said they are like Harlequin novels, but they aren't... yes, there's sex, but Charlane Harris has taken a lot of very different genre's and combined them into one. Normally, you tell me that this book is about a telepathic cocktail waitress that dates vampires and I'd call you a moron for even talking about it. This series however, is so fresh and creative that I've been captivated. I am currently re-reading book number four because I just got it back from Brandy over the weekend. I just finished book 7 last week. I have that junky low after you finish a good book and I can't seem to do anything but reread old books by her. :)

Okay, as a frequent book-on-tape girl, I gritted my teeth and checked this out from the library. I have read other "Shopaholic" books and have been completely stressed out by the main character's lack of control in each book. But hey, there wasn't much else on the shelves that I could rent and I need something to listen to when knitting, cleaning house, etc. Hopefully I can get through this one. It's not starting out too hopeful. Her poor husband ...

If i could give it six stars, i would. I love Cyrano's wit, and at no point did the book seem foolish, becasue every character seemed as if they could be a real person. Even though it is listed as a love story and a tragedy, i thought it was more of a comidy, and i laughed out loud on several occations. I recomend this translation of it, becase it reads how you would normally speak, as opposed to teh normal, Shakespeare-ish type play. A wonderful book, and i will soon read it again.

Wonderful, thought-provoking, chilling book. Based on the other reviews I see I'm in the minority, but I preferred it to the movie (although picturing Clive Owen as Theo in my head wasn't such a bad thing).

I gave this book as a gift having reading all the essays but the literary ones. I gave the book on the strength of the others--and in an attempt to bring a new fan into the DFW fold before being overly alienated by his fiction and thusly lost before acquiring the taste-- but I just read them and were blown away by the Usage and the Dostoevsky one. Now I'd give the book out with the intention of sharing just those. Dave is a good example of the too-great fixation on the novel as the measure of a writer. He did two great ones, and one great unfinished one that took ten years and was one of the primary reasons he took the fatal mistep of getting off his depression medication. He thought he needed his senses sharpened more before he'd have the prescience of mind to surpass the success of IJ*. He acknowledged that he would have been happier to continue with this nonfiction thing, since it flowed effortlessly for him. And I'd sure have liked another dozen volumes like this one. One thing that was strange is how little he traveled. In my life as one of the globalized generation, I've seen travel as a prerequisite before any kind of intellectual fomenting can be given much consideration. But in a video from the 2000s, you seem him stunned at finding himself for the first time (and in his 40s) in a country where English is not the primary language. The breadth of experience and degree of observation is such that you feel as if the guy had lived several lives and had remembered and processed several times the minutes of each. *In a lot of ways The pale king did that, in the same way that FREEDOM surpasses The Corrections, with both authors' styles becoming leaner and more pinpoint. Or, maybe not call it leaner, but instead more focused. At the same time, IJ for me remains the more beloved of the two because he waxes more freely.

This is a much more provocative and profound narrative than I expected. The story of Zimbabwe spiraling downward under the manic ego of Mugabe is vaguely familiar to many. But this story is a personal one, where the author, Peter Godwin, tracks the descent through the lives of his parents who are white africans in the country. They painfully lose their farm, their livelihood, their way of life (his mother a long time nurse in a hospital, and father managing the large farming enterprise), and finally health as Mugabe twists a legitimate goal of land redistribution for Zimbabweans into a spoils system unabashedly reserved for his most loyal supporters and ruling clique. Godwin - a contract writer for National Geographic, the BBC, New York Times, and the Sunday Times (of London) - admirably maintains a professional pen and eye in spite of the subject being the virtual and to a degree literal destruction of his parents and siblings. He reflects and muses on the rule of law, the loss of ethics and dignity for all involved: the "winners" of land grabbing, as well as the losers - farm workers and those wishing to see their country prosper. The other component of the story is the discovery that his father is actually Jewish, having escaped the Holocaust where much of his own family perished, only to find himself once again the scapegoat of a governing tyrant and an indifferent world. It is a wide ranging book, AIDS, what institutions and infrastructure mean for a country, international aid and meddling, complete with admirable references to a number of African leaders and voices of conscience most of the West has not heard of. For example, a contemporary Zimbabwe writer, Dambudzo Marechera has savaged Mugabe's ruling clique for having betrayed the "povo" (people). He has maintained resistance as well however, against an easy "binary" framework of the colonizers and and the subjects, the oppressor and victim, or the exotic and indigenous. In fact, he questions the whole foundation of Africa's newly independent states, "based as they are on those flawed colonial territories, "nations" invented by the whites. Was independence nothing more, he asked, than a rebranding of essentially the same product?" With this moving from personal experience to historical reflection and all the pointed connections and similarities, the reader should expect to be shaken by the injustice and savageness that has brought this once proud and promising country to the ground.
