In her memoir of her father, Margaret Salinger notes that had it not been for Autobiography of a Yogi, she would never have been born. Her father, J.D. Salinger, had already begun his reclusive lifestyle. He wanted to divorce himself from the duties of domesticity and family life in order to achieve a higher spiritual consciousness. However, Paramhansa Yogananda 's book revealed to him that -in his understanding - salvation can also come to those who live a family life yet still practice his science of Kriya Yoga. Autobiography of a Yogi details the stories of Hindu asetics, manifesting themselves in any space and any time they so choose; yogis healing the sick of infirmities and taking the burdens upon themselves; the ordinary man and his insistence on logic as the only tool possible for understanding the world around him, and being overcome by events which pass understanding. What is also fascinating about this book is that it details the wonder-workers of other faiths: a Muslim able to manifest any physical thing at will; a Catholic nun who does not eat and lives solely on the light of Christ, suffering the stigmata frequently in her German country hermitage; a Unitarian Universalist botanist who found God in the plants around him. In that way, this was a fun read. Yet, these varieties of religious experience are endemic of late 19th-century religious pluralism and its holdovers like Yogananda. While it was interesting to see these different quests for God, one thing that kept coming up throughout the text were these individuals who, through extensive intellectual or physical rigor, were coming closer to God. They were working really hard to reach God. Yet, the Christian gospel says that God will reach out to us, no matter how hard we work or how well we do. Because He is that good.

winner of the booker prize for 2006, i think. I spent the first half of the book trying to figure out where she was going with the story....the second half realizing it was more about india/neighboring political conflicts/third world/colonialism than about a 'story'. This realization helped me get through the book because the story, frankly, isn't quite compelling or interesting enough to make you want to read 350 pages about it. She does paint a thought provoking picture about immigrants who come to the U.S. 'illegally' - how they sustain themselves here; and their tenuous connections to their homeland.

Well, it's not Aunt Jane, that's for sure - none of her sly humour - but this is a pleasant little evening's read if you're in the mood for something without much incident but with nice, clear language and depiction of manners. The narrative is, interestingly enough, in the first-person voice of a man, though there's a very long chunk in the middle that's an inserted narrative in the voice of a female servant. I'm not sure that this little literary curiosity is quite worth the good paper, the marbled boards, and the careful printing bestowed on it in the "Baskerville Series", but it's by no means objectionable.

Finally finished... took me much longer than usual. This was a weird book. I mean, the storytelling was really good, but it was about 'a lot of things' and I'm not sure any of the threads were really compelling to me. I guess fundamentally it's a story about humanities inability to stop being self destructive. The alternative is presented as the church (catholic in specific, but I think that is more artifact than prescription). Thrown in is a 3000 year future-history story, oh, and a little bit of The Wandering Jew, for no real reason that I could see. The timeline means you shouldn't get attached to any particular characters, mechanically, only the Jew could stay around, and he isn't really featured. At the end of the day, it's a good book, though I didn't REALLY enjoy it. The competance of the author in his execution is probably it's biggest selling point. I'd also say it's a real win for the "lots of untranslated Latin, please" crowd, but it really doesn't have anything on The Name of the Rose for that. (also, I totally don't understand where he was going with that Eve reference stuff at the very end. Very confusing.)

Not just this book, I think all of James Clavell's books are brilliantly written. He does tremendous research and mixes history with fiction beautifully.

On Saturday I took a two hour walk and finished up listening to this. LOVED IT. (was wearing a tank top and FRIED my shoulders on accident). I really don't know enough to say whether or not the autistic-spectrum portrayal is totally accurate. I like to think so, though. It is believable enough. The plot extremely well-constructed. But the real highlight for me is Marcelo. He is fully realized, fascinating, and lovable. I would seriously read a second book about him. I would like to keep living with him to voyeur into the next stages of his life.

I tried to start this book at least 3 times (usually at 1:00 AM) without much success. On the 4th try (during the day), I understood what it was talking about! The story is a bit slow at the beginning, but it picks up after that. I really liked Lightsong - he really would be upset at this, since he worked so much at being antagonistic and irrelevant. I disliked princess Vivenna - she worked too hard at being liked, and managed to come out as annoying and arrogant. The ending was a bit abrupt, maybe there will be a sequel to see what loser princess will do.

I guess words alone can't describe the genuis Picasso is! I came across Picasso's extraordinary and crazy inventive work when I first entered High school. That is what brought on my love affair with Art, truly. I love abstract art, more so than any other because it's more perceptive and personal to me. Looking at Picasso's work is no less than a treat for a crazy fan like me. I love most of his works and I can only hope to create something half as genius as this man. He's legendary!
