I adore this series on audio. A barrel of fun and adventure.

This book was pretty interesting. It is really jam packed with facts and charts so I will probably have to use it as a reference going forward since I didn't take away a lot of specifics.

goodreaders seem to be down on this book, as do editorial reviewers (i've actually checked only the two reviews published on amazon.com, which i assume must be the best). i can see why, but me, i'm not down on it. i've given it three stars because i don't think it's that special, and i don't care for the story much, but it's a good book about something important, and it's beautifully and captivatingly written. goodreaders seem to be down, in particular, on the language of this book, but it seems to me the language is its one glaring virtue. i have read other russell banks and, though i don't remember them well, i feel innerly certain the language was vastly different; banks says in a little preface (also published on amazon.con) that he wrote this after having reread lots of hemingway, and you can see hemingway all over the organization of the sentences and the feel of the prose. since i love hemingway and the way his language makes me feel, i have no qualms about the book's language. russell banks is a first rate writer and when he sets out to imitate another first rate writer he does it in a first rate way. like hemingway, banks provides here a visceral sense of the ways in which strong men and nature naturally mesh. the first time i read hemingway it was the nick adams stories and i was enchanted by hemingway's depiction of the natural affinity between men and nature. hemingway and banks make technology (boats, airplanes) part of this meshing and affinity (banks doesn't seem big on cars; maybe hemingway isn't either: boats and planes seem to require a physical mastery that cars do not require). there is also much fitzgerald here, especially the fitzgerald of tender is the night. some reviewers, and banks himself, claim that this book is about class. and true, the impoverished inhabitants of the small adirondacks towns the surround the reserve get some good play, and the contrast between their plight and the oblivious comfort of the super-wealthy lodgers of the reserve is addressed. but the pleasure of the book doesn't come from this and i think banks might be slightly disingenuous when he says that the impoverished locals are his main interest. this is not about poor mountain people braving the depression. this is about the follies of the wealthy, their crazes, their lusts, their luxuries, golden rum against the hearth's glow, the allure of the successful artist's life, the distant, diamond-hard, predatory, irresistible attraction of beautiful women. i had no idea, coming into this, that it was about a mentally disturbed young(ish) woman with a history of horrible child abuse and the prospect of forced psychiatric hospitalization in the heydays of lobotomy. how do these books land in my hands? well, i'm grateful. this part of it is the tender is the night bit, and i found it interesting. a lot of female madness is simply thrown in books and movies. this book takes it seriously and addresses it gravely, and i find this a good thing. the part that bored me were the intertwined love stories, which are the main focus of the novel. love stories bore me silly. in conclusion, not a spectacular book, but i think it holds its own, especially if, as i said, you like hemingway and those other macho guys who shaped american literature in the first few decades of the 20th century.

LOVE his stuff ... he and his wife write non-fiction for kids (mostly about animals). But the really amazing part is his collage art. I could look at it all day. It's amazing. I showed the first graders several of his books last week. They were duly impressed. Plus this particular title is just cool. The foldout pages really make a statement.
Very good book. Jumped around a lot between the 4 main characters, but it made the stories more interesting to see how they were all connected. Very good read with lots of medical info. It was also set in Toronto, for the most part, which was nice to read instead of a big name American city.

--edit--I'm hoping to take my copy of this book to a nautical-themed party on Saturday 15th September 2007 and tie some fucking knots.

This books tells us about a so-not-popular girl named Wilma. She helped an old lady in a subway and the old lady granted a wish from Wilma: Being the most popular kid in Claverford. Wilma is now liked by all the kids in Claverford. But her wish not too wise because when she graduated from Claverford, it means that she will no longer be the most popular girl anymore. What will Wilma do? Will her wish really ends? I don't really like the book actually. The idea is great, but i don't know, I just don't like the characters in the book. They seem so childish and somehow weird. Well, it's just my opinion though. I believe people has different opinions about things. X)
Better that the author had read "The Lost Art of Writing" first.

This is almost a pure project book and I wouldn't even have picked it up if Frances and Sandy hadn't talked about it over and over. Frances has definitely picked my favorites out of the quilts in this book. One pattern I can't get out of my mind is Stepping Stones, pg.72-79. It is one of the more complex patterns and includes four patches. If I made it, I would want to use fabric on hand, so I have spent some commute time daydreaming about various color variations, whether I would start cutting 10" squares and then start the quilt when I was done or what. There is a lot to like about this book. There are a variety of patterns for every skill level. The authors clearly state how many precuts are needed to make the quilt. A lot of the quilts have colors that really appeal to me, but there are also reproduction and more muted fabrics used, so that the book covers a lot of bases in terms of tastes in fabric. Each quilt is made twice with the second quilt using very different fabrics. I like this aspect, because it is hard for me not to be influenced by the fabric choices in the photos. Seeing a second quilt in different colors reminds me to the design of the quilt rather than the colors. I liked the border on the Raspberry Ripple quilt (pg.14-17) because it has the 'self-bordering' effect that I like so much. High Flying Geese (pg.30-35) is very similar to Serendipity Puzzle, a classic Dutchman's Puzzle pattern. The colors are so fresh and appealing in the Lintott version that I would consider making another version just because of that freshness. Some of the blocks are so easy and so large that you could do a quilt really quickly. Those quilts don't appeal to me. some of the photos aren't very crisp. I was disappointed in the photo of Damask Rose (pg.48-53), because the piecing is very hard to see with the fabrics the authors chose. This is one of the more complicated quilts and I would want to show off the piecing. This is one of the few quilts in the book that does not have a second colorway. Hexagon Hip Hop (pg.64-71) is version of a hexagon quilt, like Attack of the Hexies, but using half hexagons. It has a really interesting and well thought out border. I also like that the second colorway shows how nice a gift a hexagon quilt would make that special guy in your life. There are small introductions to each quilt, which are similar, if not as detailed, as the color stories in The Gentle Art of Quiltmaking. They suggest other options, talk about the fabrics chosen and encourage the quiltmaker, as in the description of Little Houses (pg.102-109) where the pieces are on the small side. If you want a wide variety of patterns to use with Jelly Rolls and other precuts, then you might enjoy this book.

Bu kitaptaki yazı güzel. Bence onsuz son üçte buhar kaybederdim. Baştan çıkarıcı ve ilgi çekici bir başlangıçtan sonra durdu. Ama yazının gücü beni etkiledi. Sesi çok sevimli idi ... gerçekten birisi bir hikaye anlatıyormuş gibi hissettirdi. Bu bana iyi bir sesli kitap olur. Anlatıcı ile ilgili - erken ama çok sevilen genç bir kardeşle büyüdüğümde, kıskançlıkla hafifçe lezzetlendirilen gurur karışımının ve bu parlaklığın yanındaki yetersizlik hissinin farkına vardım.
