I am in such awe with Marquez. I haven't read many of his other works but it's funny that I've already noticed his recycling of phrases and ideas. It's weird how that simply because something is translated, it becomes exotic and original. Of course, I feel that Marquez is wonderful and would like to indulge myself in that feeling for as long as possible. PS: his short story "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" is also great fun. Along similar veins, Ursula K. Le Guin's short story "The Ones Who Walked Away from Omelas."

seriously, i've been reading this book forever. no, really. it's alright, but i don't think it's as profound as everyone else seems to think. just read your Bible, and you can see where he's coming from. morley also seems a little pious and judgemental sometimes, which i find annoying.

I thought this book was supposed to be funny. It wasn't. It was dull and boring. I am glad it is over.

Thanks to Kristen I saw this on her to-read list. I really like Sarah Dessen's books and this one sounds great. There were many good reviews so hey why not put it on my list!

The Dragon Heir is the final volume in Cinda Williams Chima's Heir Chronicles which was begun in The Warrior Heir and continued in The Wizard Heir. All three stories deal with the community of magical guilds and the power struggle taking place between different factions in the guilds, particularly in the most powerful, the Wizard Guild. Madison Moss doesn't belong to any of the guilds because she's an Anaweir - not magical at all. She's concerned with making enough money at her summer job to get into art school. The trouble is, Madison lives and works in Trinity, Ohio, the sanctuary of one of the magical factions, so there are magic users all over the place. Worse, she's in a sorta-relationship with Seph McCauley, a powerful wizard in the center of the conflict. Will Madison survive the impending wizard war? And does she have a part to play, despite her lack of magical ability? I really enjoyed the first two books of the Heir Chronicles, and The Dragon Heir didn't disappoint. Madison is an interesting character, and the rest of the denizens of Trinity are fascinating as well. Chima's world and magic system are realistic and believable, and it was nice to see the plot get resolved in a spectacular and also satisfying fashion.

I enjoyed The Alchemyst by Michael Scott, but I’m a little miffed at the total cliffhanger ending (but mostly at the fact that my uber-cool ILL doesn’t have the sequel yet). The Alchemyst is concerned with Nicholas Flamel, the man who found a way to make the Philosophers’ Stone, thereby becoming immortal. If you’re like me, when you read the words ‘Nicholas Flamel’ or ‘Philosophers’ Stone,’ you think of Harry Potter. And stylistically, the two books are slightly similar, as they concern magic in our own present world and time. Scott works in references to quite a lot of current technology (Google, iPods and Wikipedia all get several mentions) but the story is also bursting with myths, legends, and the creatures that populate them. So Nicholas Flamel and his wife Perenelle are still alive in 21st century San Francisco. But when the evil Dr. John Dee steals the instruction book for making the Philosophers’ Stone and kidnaps Perenelle Flamel, it’s up to Nicholas and two ordinary American teenagers, Josh and Sophie Newman, to get the book back and stop Dr. Dee from releasing all of the bad guys from the old tales on to the unsuspecting world. Fascinating, huh? The plot moves along fairly well, the characters are all well-rounded and the world is detailed and believable. Like I said, I’m waiting impatiently for one of the libraries in our consortium to get the sequel so I can find out what happens next!

Hate to be one of "those people", but I like the TV series better. Sookie isn't the most interesting POV character. I don't care about what she wears, her morning routine, or any of that other nonsense. Plus, Charlaine Harris has a very awkward way of interjecting exposition.

Every blue moon, an artwork comes along that seems like it's aimed solely at you. Something so specific to your particular interests that it's difficult to imagine an audience for it larger than one. For me, that work is "I'm Not There," a movie about Bob Dylan minutiae that's structurally inspired by vintage Godard films. On the surface, "Zona" looked like another one of those works: A favorite writer devoting an entire book to my favorite film by the dauntingly arty Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky? How did this thing even get published? Geoff Dyer turns out to be less obsessively hermetic about his subject - and less concerned with trying to embody its visionary essence - than Todd Haynes in "I'm Not There," which is maybe why the book felt like a slight letdown to me. But I suspect that's good news for 99% of readers, because Dyer's droll and chatty narrative aims to be entertaining even if you have no prior knowledge of the film. So many critics treat Tarkovsky's work like forbidding and sacred ikons of Great Cinema. This book's most significant achievement is making "Stalker" feel accessible and genuinely exciting without dumbing it down. The film is a deathless masterpiece, sure, but getting a clenched asshole trying to solemnly decode its mysteries is the exact wrong way to approach it. Instead of going on about the many virtues and few flaws of this fine book, I recommend checking out J. Hoberman's review which eerily elucidates many of my own reactions - plus a few I didn't even know I had.
