This is another great resource and browsing book...a dictionary of words describing the land. All the entries were written by nature writers. So you get beautifully crafted sentences by, say, Barbara Kingsolver. And with Barry Lopez as one of the editors, need I say more? My only quibble: I wish the actual book was smaller and more intimate. For a dictionary the text seems personal to me, and shouldn't be in such a large volume.

I was hoping Asimov would move the Foundation story forward with this one, but he ended up writing the longest novel of the series that spanned only a few months of the 1,000 year period. The story is about people searching for the legendary birthplace of humans and it was fun to see them try to unwrap the myths and actually find earth, but the story was ultimately unsatisfying and a bit boring.

First, let me say that everytime I read the title I hear the voice of that red-haired kid from 'Children of the Corn' screaming "OUTLANDER!!!" Beyond that, it took me three attempts to read this book. The first two times I couldn't get past page 100 on my nook. For the third attempt I got it from the library and started out at the page I had been stopping (tricky, eh?). I'm not sure if it was because it was a physical book or because I was determined to finish this time - but I actually got into the story and was able to finish in a few days. I'm a person that enjoys historical romances - I claim to like other genres but these are my favorite. So unlike some people, I wasn't put off by the sex scenes (tame compared to a lot of the books I've read) or even the "spanking" scene (again, worse things happen in other books I've read). Overall the book wasn't bad, it held my interest on this latest try. I think it would benefit from editing - there were many parts of the book that the author went about 20-30 pages too long, Lallybroch especially. It was evident that the author spent a great deal of time researching her setting - and it was appreciated! I enjoyed learning about life in Scotland during the 1700s. She also managed to create two characters that seemed very real in Jamie and Claire. While aspects of their relationship seemed false (Claire basically forgetting about Frank after being married to Jamie for two seconds), for the most part they had a believeable relationship. I think the key to reading this book is to have no expectations (I realize that this is hard since sooo many people claim to love it), but to be aware that there is a reason it is sometimes shelved in the "romance" section. I'm not a big fan of Scotland as a setting, but I've read that the series goes to America and other places later - so I'll continue for at least a book or two. Plus, I've already picked up the second installment at Borders (RIP)

Many good reminders on how to keep your cool with the kiddos. Nothing profound or life changing, just common sense and how to apply it. I would recommend it.

Still my favorite picture book of all.
Kat's never really been all that in touch with her Icelandic heritage. Until her parents get divorced and her mother moves them back up to her native Minnesota. Suddenly Kat's discovering something - those old legends? - they're a lot closer than she thought.

this was a surprise. I only got it at the last minute from the library. Okay, it isn't even kept on the regular dewey shelves. It is kept on the general "audio"shelf, meaning it was donated and not deemed worth enough to be assigned a number. I listened to this on audio, which was great, because the story is told by one of those crisp clear British readers who can do great voices. I felt like I was there! As Dr Stanley went to his last expedition into the congo, to save some Amin, to keep England's interest there etc. HOwever, one doubts he was motivated for England as much as he was for himself, as he took the hardest route, "through the Etruirian woods". You know, if I was British, I would probably be getting into these explorers, especially Stanley and Livingston. There were parallels between the African expedition and the first expeditions of fur trappers into our great Northwest, esp Oregon. For one, both countries had native tribes, both friendly and hostile. For another, both countries had tribes that hated the whites due to their experience with other whites. This book, it wasnt' an exposure to whites, but, whenever Stanley's party tried to blaze, the slavers would go right before. They would burn villages etc, and soon Dr Stanley's party was assoc with this. Most came from "lower class" backgrounds. Stanley certainly did and so did a lot of the trappers. How exciting it must have been to explore where no white man had ever been! When I am hiking in the woods and we often find places not many people go around, I try to "blaze" a trail, in my peevy amateur way, going where there isn't one. Even if there is one close hah a. It's the closest thing I have heard of that parallels the history of my beloved Oregon, and around the same time as well. Accuenting that there really aren't many differences when it comes to conquering the land, enduring things one can't control like weather, and water. Learning to get along iwth the indegenouse people or you can't really make it. there is a sort of tragic ending, and you sort of are left to wonder what it was all for, those loss of lives and so forth. However, the purest motive for exploration is exploring for the sake of exploring! and a little fame in doesn't hurt finally, the explorere's personality. had they not been so cocky, so focused, despite the hardship on those with the leader, could they really get anywhere??

I enjoyed all of Hanff's books. They are not long, but fun to read. The Movie of,'84, Charing Cross Road', was well done. Sorry the book store is gone would have loved to have seen it someday.

An American classic, but OMG, what an alcoholic rant. And the movie! Liz and Dick romping and ranting.
