I liked this enough to pass it on! Loved the ending... out of the blue and yet could be tracked through the book once you knew the outcome.... ingenious!

Waugh is, as usual, rather acid and condescending. He doesn't take anybody seriously, himself included. That being said, I didn't start this expecting sensitive portrayals of cultures and people. However, IMO, if anybody ever needed a little historical cutting down to size (sorry, bad phrasing considering his height) it is Haile Selassie, and so far Waugh's description of Selassie's coronation is really funny. After finishing the entire book, I would say that if you are really interested in the regions he travels through, it's a funny book and will offer another view of many familiar East African characters. But his constant mockery does get a little grating by the end.

First, Who's the guy on the covert? With the title and the fact that Lucas's own a library, it's easy to believe that's him. But no, Lucas's blond. Secondly, I'm the only one to not see a lot of difference between Riley and Nicholas? Nicholas's in love, lust and everything with Lucas for the last 5 years. He said himself that he try that Lucas admit loving him almost each time they see themselves. He,Hellooo-o! Obsessed the guys! But, hey, since Nic's the good guy that ok and obviously Lucas didn't felt threatened by this comportment. Stop reading p.26

The sexual exploitation of a child (from age 11 to 17 and referred to as a "nymphet"), and its justification, forms the plot line of this book. I have read a few summaries and reviews to understand it's historical significance, but the subject matter horrifies me. I do not want to fill my mind with darkness.

I love Joseph Ellis anyway, but this is a very readable look at some of the major issues facing our founding fathers during the early republic. Ellis sets up the book by using failry well known events (the Burr/Hamilton duel, Washington's farewell address, the Dinner party where Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton traded the location of the capitol on the Potomac for congressional support of Hamilton's financial plan, Jefferson and Adams' famous friendship, etc) to elaborate and explore major themes of slavery, the constitution, and most importantly hot to go about creating a new nation. I would recommend this to not only history students but anyone who wants a better look at the early years of our government and the people who shaped what the US became. It's funny too! Love it!

What a contrast to the other books in my latest library haul! This book is not serious, not heavy, not even all that thought provoking. It's almost the type of book you're ashamed to be caught reading...but it's FUN! It's laughing out loud fun, if the reader is middle-aged and has weight issues. It's laughing through gritted teeth fun, if you've raised a teenage daughter. It's even "pleased to see you're doing well" fun, if you've read the prequel, and liked the chubby heroine. This author is not a literature professor, or the creator of a gazillion book series, but she's warm, human, funny, and wants her readers to have a good time. That counts for a lot these days.

It brings you into a weary, and poverty stricken life in Ireland where there are fleas, pubs where fathers drink their wages, strict catholic communities, etc. it took me a little while to get into the book, but once i really started reading, i couldn't put it down until i finished it. his life is fascinating and sad and there are many life lessons he shares with humor and bluntness. i've always wanted to sit and talk to an elderly person and hear their life story. to think that they have lived through wars, presidents, civil rights movement and have witnessed so much history is so interesting. i've never had that privilege but by reading this book i feel like i've actually sat and listened to someone's life and soaked in their insight and experience.
Peace and Plenty: Finding Your Path to Financial Serenity by Sarah Ban Breathnach has a great deal of promise and certain comes into publication at the right time. Drawing on her own experience with affluence and loss, the author offers from her heart ways to face the fear that these economic times can stir up. Promising or not, this book is a disappointment. Writing from personal experience, Breathnach tries to cloak her reality in sympathetic terms but the sensitive reader will easily sense the anger and anxiety on every page. She was hurt and her wounds are obviously still very raw but instead of licking them delicately in private, she throws all of her pain all over the place. And if her purpose is to help her reader feel empowered in spite of circumstances, then it would have probably been a wiser choice to wait until she herself felt powerful. Instead, she is clearly wounded and the book limps along, poorly organized and familiar. Familiar because she uses many of the same examples she’s used in previously published books. This adds to the feeling one gets that she wrote not from a place of necessity, wanting to share her story, but of desperation, needing to share it. I can understand her turning to publishing as a means to get her out of the financial distress she has gotten herself into. After all, she is a best-selling author so this is something she does well. And falling back on your own strengths in time of crisis is commendable. But when she draws on past inspiration, rehashing the same stories, practically word-for-word, offering the same advice down to the same numbers lists of recommendation verbatim from previously published books one has to wonder why bother reading this one at all? If she’s already said what she is saying in this book, what is the point of reading this one? Frankly, none. What little advice Breathnach gets around to offering her readers, after meandering endlessly about her own problems and revisiting the same stories and inspiration she shared in previous books, the advice she gives is simplistic and inadequate. What’s more, it is disingenuous. I said earlier that she was writing from a place of anger rather than power and this is no more evident than in her own advice to keep a secret bank account. While many, if not all, financial advisors, will encourage and even urge women to have a separate bank account, Breathnach actually encourages and urges her readers to stash away pin money, to create and keep a separate and secret bank account, etc. It is not unlike going to a friend who has experienced infidelity in her marriage for relationship advice. If it is too soon after her realizing that her husband has been dishonest, everything she sees in your relationship will be colored by her own painful experience. And the author has been hurt, badly. She takes responsibility for much of what has happened to her and does so, no doubt, to inspire compassion and even a sense of empathy from her readers but, more often than not, I found myself squirming uncomfortably. Her confessions seemed more like something out of a Jerry Springer Show episode than a one-on-one with Oprah Winfrey, who is in part responsible for Breathnach’s previous success. No doubt this book will sell very well simply because the author has a following. And if her readers have little to no memory, they won’t recall that most of the stories she shares in this book are identical to ones she has shared in previous books. Thankfully, I haven’t read all of her books but I’ve read enough to realize that there is nothing new here and any woman who really wants and needs financial advice for these challenging times would do well to invest her money in buying a book by some other author, even one less popular than this one. PS: Once again, a book where there are plenty of wonderful quotes without paginated citations. This is her eleventh book. One would think by now someone might have asked her to put in some page numbers when referencing a book. I certainly would appreciate it. Although I would have given this book 2 stars (it was ok), I said I would deduct 1 star for any book that didn't properly cite quotations so this book gets demoted by one star as a result.

Some stories were great. Others, not so much (I couldn't even get through David Foster Wallace's story - too many footnotes!). Overall, I think these were really interesting stories. I liked never knowing what would come next. Obviously, these were Ira's favorites, but I think I would just switch out a couple to make the book more enjoyable.
