** spoiler alert ** *SPOILERS* "Happy Birthday, Dear Jesus" - This was a great story to read after getting home from Christmas shopping at the mall. Pohl's story approaches Christmas in a dark and satirical way by imagining a future where consumerism has run completely rampant and the Christmas season has come to engulf the greater part of the year leading up to Dec. 25th. This story follows the exploits of George Martin, a middle manager who works long hours at a busy and competitive Sears-like store called the Emporium. Martin is a 30-year-old work-a-holic who lives alone, never made time to get married, and spends his nights hooked up to a "dreamster" device that allows him to experience fantasies. As I was reading this, I was impressed with the prophetic nature of Pohl's writing. Similar to the way Bradbury's 'Fahrenheit 451' included a Facebook/Myspace-obsessed character, Pohl hits the nail on the head about countless modern American men who have allowed work to crush their spirits and internet pornography to stand in the place of traditional (or stable) relationships. In any event, Martin's habitual lifestyle is turned completely on its side when he meets and clumsily falls in love with Lilymary Hargreave, a new part-timer who goes to work in his gift-wrapping department. Hargreave comes from a tightly-knit family of missionaries who spent many years in the Third World spreading the good word. As Martin pursues Hargreave, the story deals with the clash between their two cultures. Beyond the aforementioned soothsaying about the Martin character's paradigm, Pohl's story definitely provides good food for thought about what civilization has done to the Christmas holiday. "The Ghost-Maker" - This story tells the tale of Ehrlich, an anthropologist who seeks revenge after being cast out of the academic community for alleging that magic is real. On his journey, he is able to track down a real magician who, by customs unexplained, gives Ehrlich the means to a powerful magic spell that can conjure ghosts out of the remains of living things. All magic and academia aside, this story's main theme turns out being revenge itself, and Pohl does an excellent job of showing Ehrlich giving himself over to his baser human tendency to 'get even.' I liked the way this story presupposes a subculture of magicians, water-witches, and diabolists that abides by its own codes and ethical guidelines while keeping itself decidedly under the radar from normal humans who would abuse their mystical powers and cause more harm than good.

This arc had a hugely successful epic feel to it. Changing allegiances all over the place, awesome artwork and great writing from debut Transformers writer. It got very slightly confusing towards the end, but overall a highlight in the world of transformers comics.

Sorry to have the series end. Checkout the Swedish movies of these books the are well don't, not overly violent and easy to follow. I've seen the first two and am waiting for the third.

A bitter, tangled and tough play that is ultimately rewarding. Not the place to start if you're unfamiliar with the Bard.

"The different aesthetic choices people make are all distinctions-that is, choices made in opposition to those made by other classes. Taste is not pure. Bourdieu finds a world of social meaning in the decision to order bouillabaisse, in our contemporary cult of thinness, in the "California sports" such as jogging and cross-country skiing"

Midnight Sun, written by Stephenie Meyer. It is the retelling of the story her first book, Twilight, from the view of the primary male character of the book, Edward Cullen. This book is very intense as it delves into Edward's thinking and feelings about the new girl in town, our protagonist, Bella Swan. I really enjoyed this book. It answered many of the plot and character questions i had after reading Twilight. The only negative thing I can add about this book is that it is unfinished. i fear it will never be completed as the author has seemingly lost interest and her audience already knows the outcome of the story.

this is probably my favorite book. i've read it far too many times, but i still enjoy it. The story is set in England(the author is British)and you just get pulled into it. what's so amazing is how polly (the main character) has this dull everyday existence yet suddenly something triggers her memory and she realizes that it was all a fake and her real life was exciting and adventerous. The true brilliance of Diana Wynne Jones is how she manages to write stories about all the secret hope and dreams one has as a child, dreams of other worlds and magic and musician friends who send you books and treat you like an adult. She also writes so naturally about all the fantastic things that occur in her books that it seems real, which is especially true in this novel, the magic isn't obtuse; and the whole thing is very mysterious and somewhat creepy.

Loved the entire series! Recently re-read all 7 and enjoyed them again. The characters and stories are great and progress naturally. I think the Order of the Phoenix is my favorite.

An amazing eye-opener. Orenstein is a thorough investigator and questioner of every angle directed at the up and coming generation of pinkalicious girls. I felt truly enlightened by the time I finished the book. I believe I make choices for the things I buy all my children in a more responsible and thoughtful way. Very thought-provoking no matter your view point.

The first time I picked this one up, I didn't put it down for two days till I finished it. Same with the other two of the series.
