On page 12. So far so good. On page 192. I can totally see why McCaulie liked the this book, even more than the first one (Evernight). I can't wait to finish it and I sure hope the third one is just as good. Wow! I like this book even more than the first one, and the first one was really good. Wht a way to end on a cliff hanger!

It's evident that Whitmire is a Rhee supporter, perhaps even a fanatic. However, he states his bias and attempts to illustrate her failures as well as her successes. It was important for me to read something with that skew, as I am an avid Rhee hater. After reading this, my hatred of her has not fanned, but I do understand more her motivations behind her policies, and understand how her upbringing and background are significant factors to her aggression. Whitmire's prose is easy to read and interesting, though sometimes he repeats himself, and I often found myself questioning what he chose to leave in and what he decided to leave out. His research is thorough, though he is much too harsh of the Washington Post and of Teachers' Unions. His attention to detail, policy and politics is laudable. However, my biggest issue with this book was that, although Whitmire explains why Rhee was so hated by Teachers' Unions and DC residents, he never once touched upon why Rhee's initiatives were destined to fail from a strictly educational policy standpoint. It really bothered me that he looked ONLY at test scores, and ONLY at the short-term effects. Perhaps this is a much too complicated issue to explain to typical citizens not involved in education, but I also think that Whitmire's admiration of Rhee blindsided him to the fact that her chancellorship was, in the long run, much more of a disaster than most people realize.

Charles Williams to me, in his own words: If it was Love that the old woman was praising now, the shrill voice didn't quite sound like it. But it might be; with the sweet irony of Perfection, one could never tell. It was never what you expected, but always and always incredibly more. ... That sovereign estate, the inalienable heritage of man, had been in her, as in all, falsely mortgaged to the intruding control of her own greedy desires. Even when the true law was discovered, when she knew that she had the right and the power to possess all things, on the one condition that she was herself possessed, even then her freedom to yield herself had been won by many conflicts. ... She attempted dutifully to enjoy and failed, but while she attempted it the true gift was delivered into her hands. ... ...a fanatic in a train who had given her a tract: Love God or go to Hell. It was only after a number of years that she had come to the conclusion that the title was right, except perhaps for go to--since the truth would have been more accurately rendered by be in Hell. She was doubtful also about God; Love would have been sufficient by itself but it was necessary at first to concentrate on something which could be distinguished from all its mortal vessels, and the more one lived with that the more one found that it possessed in fact all the attributes of Deity. She had tried to enjoy, and she remembered vividly the moment when, walking down Kingsway, it had struck her that there was no need for her to try or to enjoy: she had only to be still, and let that recognized Deity itself enjoy, as its omnipotent nature was.

Excellent - some of the same ideas as Korten's Post-Corporate World but a little easier to digest and slightly more current.

A very fluid writer.

** spoiler alert ** My review for Once in a Full Moon started out talking about Taco Bell, so now I don't know where to start here. Checkers? Hungry Howies? Because let's be honest, is there anyone in the world who actually wants to talk about this "book"? (Ignoring fools who like it and blissfully ignorant people who haven't read it.) But then, my review will seem like a masterpiece compared to this book, so I will start from a random place - the end. Someone take a knife and drive it through my skull, because that was possibly the worst ending to a book I have ever read(possibly, because can you really beat Breaking Dawn?). "Beware a bite under the full moon; it will complicate your love life." Oh, no! Not my love life! PLEASE GOD NO! NEVER THAT!!! Please make it something life threatening instead! If you know me, you might know I hate Twilight. But I have got to give it to Meyer, even she made a threat of death in her vampire book. I guess werewolves don't care about dying, though. Their biggest fear is having a complicated love life. I don't think I've ever used this before, but... *facepalm* The big thing in the ending is that Celeste has to *gasp* kiss her horrid ex-boyfriend! Isn't that the most awful thing you've ever heard of? I mean, Bella Suewan had a whole army of vampires after her, but what if she had to kiss Jake to save herself? Now, that would have been bad. Good thing she got away with almost dying instead. (You know something's bad if it's bad compared to Twilight!) And I cannot in my whole life rant enough about how crappy these werewolves are. They don't turn into wolves, they turn into hippies with fangs. B acts completely the same when it's his time of the month as he does any other time. How lame is that? But then when Nash changes he's different, more aggressive and stuff. Does that make sense to you? Because it sure doesn't to me. After I read Once in a Full Moon, I decided I would read all these books just because they make me laugh so much. But this book was disappointing. It wasn't funny. It was boring, and that made me sad(and mad). So I probably won't be reading the next ones, but we'll see.

April is usually fated to be "National Poetry Month", something I both revel and fear.... as a teacher, it gives me an excuse to toot the boisterous horns of poetry; at the same time, however, it saddens me that we must designate thirty days to the art, as if it would be otherwise forgotten. At last year's Dodge Poetry Festival, I happened to hear Ted Kooser reading some of his poems, and came to love this collection. One of my favorites is a very simple one, named "Pocket Poem": If this comes creased and creased again and soiled as if I'd opened it a thousand times to see if what I'd written here was right, it's all because I looked too long for you to put in your pocket. Midnight says the little gifts of loneliness come wrapped by nervous fingers. What I wanted this to say was that I want to be so close that when you find it, it is warm from me.

This book contains a collection of essays about the tv series Lost. I found most of the essays interesting and they gave me a different viewpoint on the series. I added a couple of the books mentioned as "Lost" influences to my to-read list.

i love murakami. that being said, this isn't my favorite. i didn't connect to the main character very much, although i loved the women in the novel. i also expected more absurdism and abstraction, since this is murakami, but it is more of a love story. which is fine, just not what i expected. now i just want to read the wind up bird chronicle again.
