Interesting look on Tourette's Syndrome. I was interested mostly because my husband has it in addition to the OCD. It was really insightful at first. I read it a while ago, but that's what sticks out the most.

This was a very interesting book of essays that gave a lot of insight into Kingsolver's life and experiences. She wrote about biology - sex and diversity and the way life works. She wrote about global warming and other human effects on the planet. She wrote about the US post 9-11. The tragedy, the fear, the hate, the way she wishes we could all react and change and the way things are actually happening. She wrote about her experiences growing up, raising her kids, living in Kentucky vs. Arizona, reading and writing, vacations, etc... Themes: biology, the American dream and American values, peace and war, global change, personal life and values A lot of this I had gleaned from her other books (especially "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle") but it was interesting to see her perspective on a few other things besides food/biology. I agree with her on nearly everything, and I like that she has chosen to use her writing as a pedestal in some ways. Unfortunately, her convictions are so personal in her writing that I don't think it gets read by anyone beyond "the choir".

The reality of this story is stark and unaltered; this was especially clear in the end when I could literally feel Seierstad hoping and wishing that things had turned out differently, especially for Leila. Because this book felt like a novel throughout, I almost believed it would find a way to tie up neatly in the end. I'm not sure how I feel about Seierstad's decision to remove herself and tell this story in a novelistic way. While it makes it a great read, it also lends itself to being interpreted as fiction and makes me wonder if any little thoughts these characters are having might be invented. On the other hand, a case study or series of interviews would not have the same emotional effect and would not be read by the same audience. In any case, I don't think she made a 'wrong' decision, like some reviewers seem to think - it's more that a very different book could have been written than what she wrote and different readers would have preferred it. Me, I'm a fiction reader at heart, though I dabble in a lot of non-fiction, and I think Seierstad is honest in this book - she's a professional journalist after all, and she did her homework by living with the Khan family. Themes: Iran, Islam, culture, religion, dictatorship, war, terrorism, women, poverty, fear, family

Maybe it deserves 2 stars plus. There was something about the premise that seemed implausible. Not good enough to read her other works.

I don't find Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poetry as interesting as her husband's but she is more of a conventional poet than he was and I really prefer poetry that reads like prose. Personal preference.

“Understanding the Psychology of Internet Behavior” helped me understand what drives human’s addiction to being plugged into the internet. For years I have tried to grasp why people are so addicted to online fantasy games and spend their entire lives sucked into these environments. Their real world relationships crumble while they fight and develop online lives with other gamers that they “may” never meet outside the confines of the online world. This has always frustrated me since I find online fantasy gaming fairly boring. I also have had difficulty understanding why people are obsessed with checking their e-mail, text-messaging everyone all the time, and so on. I go days with out even touching a computer. If it wasn’t for work related activities I probably wouldn’t interact with the internet/PC at all. Joinson’s book does an excellent job of lying out were the internet behavior originated from, how it is built, and what drives it. I found this resource well researched, easy to understand, and it gave me a much clearer view of what is happening now with the internet and what is to come in the future.

Excellent sci-fi from Banks again! The storyline is dark, creepy and eventually shocking! A little too dark for my tastes but then I like happy sci-fi!

I actually found this book laying on the ground when I was at the Dave Matthews concert in Central Park back in 2003. It didn't look like anything that would interest me, but I figured it was a sign that I found it, so I decided to read it. I am very glad that I did, because it was a great book. Although it is more likely the kind of book you would find being taught at a college than anyone reading at the beach, it was a really good story about life in small-town America in the 1930s. This reminded me in a weird way of Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio (which I have read selections from, but not entirely).
