This book, was one of the most influential books that I've read in a long time. I purchased it, after getting an email with a story that was in the book, and spent all evening reading it, unable to put it down. The title of the book, Blink is a descriptive word to describe the whole idea behind the theory that the author presents; which is thinking spotaneously, but also trusting our instinctual thoughts and feelings, which individuals tend to second-guess in certain life situations. With the patients that I work with, many times there is a misconception in regards to their instinctual decisions, such as whether to relapse and use negative substances. I've begun to work with my patients who are struggling to think for themselves when re-defining decisions and choices in their lives, and this book has assisted me in doing this! I would totally reccommend this book, and would even venture to purchasing copies for anyone that would desire to read it. It is one of the best books I've ever read!

Amina Cain's stories are addictive in an emotional way--I don't want them to end, I want to keep reading them the way I want to keep watching a movie I like because I want to stay longer in the emotional world that these stories conjure up for me, a world of acute observations and perceptions, and such such sensitivity. Even though there's quite a bit of unrest in these tales, I look up from the pages stunned & gratified, a bit dazed from having been immersed in such a beautiful world. So different from the clumsy, crude world I usually have to deal with in the here & now. But Cain's world is real, it's the world created between people & creatures who feel and have relations with one another, who pay attention to the temperature differences between different raindrops and feel each other's longings as a kind of biology, a geography. She does it all in a deceptively plainspoken language, the kind of language that reminds me of what Truman Capote said of Jane Bowles' English, that it sounded like the kind of English that had been written in a foreign language at first and then clearly translated into English. A similar sense of uncanniness, alterity, and remove in Cain's English. And I do sense Jane Bowles, along with Marguerite Duras, along with Jeannette Winterson in places here. A woman acutely aware of her place or non-place in the world. A human who feels with the immediacy & intensity of an animal. In fact, there’s a deep ecology at work in Cain’s stories, an ecology of desire & relation where emotions form the connective tissue that govern the movements of people towards and away from each other. The dominant emotion is love, an inexplicable kind of longing that may or may not be expressively sexual, but is always erotic. The stories revolve around points of contact which fit together a bit askew yet are part of a larger coherent system, like the microcosmic Warsaw apartment community in Krzysztof Kieslowski's Decalogue. Characters often approach one another with an arbitrary, almost childlike sentiment reminiscent of Jane Bowles. Humans and animals move in a continuum, we are all creatures in Cain’s world, which is arguably a feminine world. Once I was talking with a friend about the kinds of dialogue that characters have with one another in Marguerite Duras stories, the strange quality of literal disconnect between one character’s statement and the other character’s response, yet this literal disconnect actually feels like a deep emotional resonance. And this friend (who absolutely loves Duras) said, that’s because the characters are responding to the unconscious content of each other’s words, they are conducting conversations on the level of the unconscious. A similar thing happens in Cain’s fiction. I feel transported to an uncanny, almost surreal-seeming world, yet all the events feel deeply recognizable to me, as though I myself have lived them in a former life. This is quite different from the strangeness-for-the-sake-of-strangeness quality that annoys me in some examples of experimental fiction. Cain’s strangeness is striking & resonant because it expresses an actual unconscious reality that has been suppressed, neglected. I recognize this world because all my life I’ve sensed it running along in parallel with the dominant world, I’ve sensed it but have not had the language to describe it. So there’s a simultaneous sense of the very small and the very large in Cain’s fictional world. It’s like a Buddhist ecology: everything you do affects everyone else, past present and future. Creatures have counterparts who may be very far away; they can’t see their counterpart but they can feel the counterpart’s influence. They also feel the influence of those who are nearby.

Though I now think on this book fondly, I've had my set of struggles in remembering that it felt too clever, too rube goldberg, too much. It wasn't the narrative--which was beautiful, telling, honest, and deconstructed--but the use of text on the cover and inside pages that tipped me off. Trying too hard. That said, the story is about powerful beauty and family.

Eight years after the Columbine shooting we are still blaming gun control, violent video games and other such media for now the Virginia Tech shooting. As Rachel Scott's father stated during a testimony to Congress, "much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves." If we continue to ignore God and our own souls, we will keep blaming our self-produced laws and media.

Fascinating book by the lawyer spearheading the Innocence Project.

I loved taking this journey with Cassia. It was well written with a similar society as The Giver series by Lois Lowry. It will be fun to see where Cassia's next adventure takes me. :)

This book is a hard read, but worth it for the moments of humour and candid commentary on the period. The Queen was stupid and her husband a cuckold was one of his early impressions of Victoria and Albert. Greville was a member of the Privy Council and as such had access to the most powerful people in the land. His diary is brought to us by Edward Pearce who makes some comments and updates some remarks throughout.

The writer is very influenced by Franz Kafka. I like her fluent style. Funny and small book that you can read only in few hours while waiting for a friend in a café.

Wow, this book was packed with action. Kat is the main character and she is an assassin for hire. This girl is straight up crazy! She will kill on command and has no problems with it. She grew up in the projects with a messed up mama who always chose men over her and hates her mama for that very reason. She has no issue telling anyone and everyone off that she doesn't agree with and does so with a vengeance. This book basically about killing and sex, with a few other things thrown in. It is drama filled and keeps you very interested throughout. It is better than alot of street lit I've read lately and will be reading the sequel as well as some of the author's other books. If you like erotic street lit, than this is the book for you! http://sheenathebookgeek.blogspot.com...

it's about people you probably know, the good times, the bad times, the slow dull times, and the slow burning times. it's about relationships with other people - your roomies, your girl friend, your parents, your exploiters, your fans, your bosses, strangers and customers. it's about growing up, giving in, giving up, moving on - expectations and exploitation. it's very well told and engrossing. i couldn't put it down.
