Cynthia Kaplan has done it again! This book is laugh-out-loud funny, as she muses about God, the evolution of deer, Peter and the Wolf and countless other topics. Every one of these biographical stories is either completely relevant, or completely irrelevant, but always worth the read! I highly recommend this one to women, especially mothers; and to dudes, like my boyfriend, who get it.

Beautifully written and fascinating story about a man with Capgras syndrome following a car accident. Many issues, varied voices, lyrical in places. Made me want to read more of theis author.

Definitely challenged some of my views with religion, but that was a good thing!

This is the second book in the Riverboat Adventures series. This series is about a young girl who becomes involved in the Underground Railroad while living on her father's Mississippi River steamboat in the 1850s. It's the spring of 1857, and twelve-year-old Libby Norstad has been living on her father's steamboat, the Christina, for several weeks. Even though she has helped a group of runaway slaves escape, the cabin boy, Caleb, still doesn't trust Libby to help him with his work on the Underground Railroad. Libby has seen the horrors of slavery, and is determined to convince him that she can be trusted. Jordan, the runaway slave boy, is still living on the Christina, unwilling to go on to Canada until he can help the rest of his family escape, and Libby fears the cruel slave trader Riggs has boarded the Christina, looking for him. She is also worried about Elsa, a young German immigrant girl traveling on the Christina that Libby has befriended. Elsa's family doesn't have enough to eat, and Libby fears she is sick. Soon, Libby, Caleb, and Jordan are caught up in another dangerous adventure as they must travel through the woods with slave catchers on their trail. Readers who enjoyed the first book in the Riverboat Adventures are sure to like this one as well. I really like the setting of this series, a Mississippi River steamboat in the 1850s, and I enjoy the characters and the many historical details the author includes. The Riverboat Adventures is a good historical fiction series and I look forward to reading the next four books.

Me gustaba, pero me dolía.

Reading this, I decided Foer is a jackass. And a genius. Pretentious and genuine. The kid's voice was believable, and not. The whole premise was ridiculous and impossible and inevitable. This is literature or it's pandering and trite. Or nothing. I hate it and love it and sometimes I think I'm going to wish I'd never read it. But it only took me six hours, so maybe that says something, too. Thank the Goddess I didn't listen to this as an audiobook.

One of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors. How could I add anything to what's already been said about this "light, bright and sparkling" book? I love the romance between Elizabeth and Darcy and the subtle manners of their time period. I love all of Austen's novels, but this one has a special place in my heart.

Margaret Atwood is a true visionary. This is very clearly demonstrated by her novel, Oryx and Crake, which I believe is by far her best work. Her dystopian world is so scarily plausible! Think about what technology already exists--virtual reality, online real-time strategy computer gaming, and the like. Consider the class system and the whole notion of abandoning the middle class, creating elite communities, and placing power in the hands of large corporations. Contemplate those very corporations becoming society's new elite, while the poor regular people are left defenseless, in the dangerous and chaotic free land. What about the importance placed on physical beauty, using science for vanity's sake? It's happening now. There exists the all too real possibility of humankind's demise through man-made superviral catastrophe, disguised as miracle medicine. In a product every human covets. It's too believable. It's mind-blowing how Atwood imagines all this and wraps it around such a compelling tale. From the Oryx and Crake web site, in her words: “The what if of Oryx and Crake is simply, What if we continue down the road we're already on? How slippery is the slope? What are our saving graces? Who's got the will to stop us?” Wow. Really. Who's got the will to stop us? As much as I adore this genre, it's not the type of novel one can wholeheartedly recommend to others. I do realize not everyone wants her or his literature to be so devastating and bleak. The future of our humanity is something I am always pondering. I am drawn in to the “what if” premise immediately. Atwood's vision is a frightening one, and it seems all too close and realistic to me. I am both skeptical and fascinated when I read scientific studies on the advances being made in genetic engineering, nanotechnologies, robotics, and so forth. It seems that this sort of science moves us into a strange realm of redefining what it means to be human. I may be cynical when I think that the majority of humans, blinded by their own ambitious thinking, would not put a stop to new discoveries, but I have hope that we merely mortals do have the will to stop the technology before it consumes the human race.

The first 100 pages of this book really pulled me in. I felt a connection knowing that my fears and worries about my brain were being validated. It was nice to see stories from other cancer survivors, studies saying "This is real!" and being able to look at the brain and see where the damage comes from. Unfortunately, the next 100 pages lost me. I felt like the authors steered away from the brain+chemo idea and focused mostly on breast cancer survivors and hormone therapy. Neither were relevant to me but if you have had breast cancer and been through menopause then you may value these pages more than I did. At page 195, I felt like I was invited back into this book. All too quickly I was given tidbits of advice and an action plan when really I wanted more of each. Since the study of chemo brain is still so new, I can see that a book might not be able to offer me that much information but I still expected more. I would have also liked some discussion on the differences between chemo brain and Post-chemotherapy cognitive impairment but there wasn't enough of that, instead the book focused on chemo brain v. depression which was also helpful. I think that as research in this field develops, the authors might have a chance to expand on this book and make it even more beneficial to survivors.

This is a fun story about the Titanic from a different perspective. It tells the story about the story of Maxixe, a small musical pig on the Titanic. Based on true events.
