Religion meets Art meets History meets Conspiracy. All together makes for an exciting read.

I just finished re-reading a couple of tales from this book ("How to get a Head in New York" and "Calcutta: Lord of Nerves) and had to bump Poppy up to four stars. Not every tale in this collection is a home-run. Some are a tad too steeped in 90's goth culture for my taste and a few are just good, workhorse weird tales -- but Brite has such a talent for weaving the written word into something haunting and potent. The characters are not always that engaging, but the atmosphere she creates in her nightmare visions of big city sprawl and rural decay is just crawling with Boschiean wonder and horror.

One of the cool things about this book is that it takes place right before the flood. It's an interesting new perspective on the Biblical story. Of course, the main themes are not the actual Bible story but the closeness of two twin brothers, the importance reconciliation between family members, and staying close to God to stay close to goodness and knowledge.

When I started reading No One Belongs Here More Than You I wasn't sure if I would like it. At first I didn't get behind her stories and wondered if there was a point to them in the first place or not. There was something about the book that didn't feel as pleasing as when I read other books. I eventually came to the conclusion that what put me off about it was the fact that these stories aren't little utopic pieces to vault us into merry and perfect spheres where everyone is beautiful, popular and successful. The main characters aren't always likable, they have weird opinions and do bewildering things. The stories aren't exciting, they aren't happy and satisfying and least of all do they end with a happy-ever-after. The thing that made this book feel wrong at the beginning was the fact that I was expecting a comfortable feel-good-story-collection that would lead me into an unrealistic environment where things are nice and easy. Miranda July describes situations, feelings and thoughts many people know and experience. Unspectacular, uncomfortable and often without the glorious Prince Charming or the magic change for the better. The protagonists of her stories are outsiders and loners, people who haven't accomplished to fit into life as Hollywood and society suggest we should. They aren't glamorous, impressive or exceptionally talented. They're like everyone else, they have problems, they hurt, they get disenchanted and defeated. And at the end of the day, things aren't good, but they're okay. I think that one of the reason why some people don't like this book is because it tells the truth in such a genuine and naked way. It displays life as it is, without the sugarcoat and sprinkles that try to hide the ugly and burnt parts. These people aren't heroes, they don't suggest that, through some wonder or deus ex machina, things suddenly become perfect. These books aren't an escape from the real world. They are more like reflections and 'factional reports'. It isn't the right reading matter for all those who seek to escape to escape reality. I for my part could find some comfort in this book, because to me the message is like a small, honst whisper of 'it's okay if you're not perfect, you're not alone with that.'.

Simon Winchester writes in a style that is very easy to read while still being informative. There is a bit of redemption for the Civil War vet who is imprisoned in an insane asylum while he helps to be one of the biggest contributors to the creation of the OED. (You'll have to read it to find out why he is imprisoned and how he is helped-therefore the redemption-in contributing words to the OED.) Highly recommended especially if you are a lover of words.

Wow, such a classic, also a classic theme. Sounded familiar. Excellently executed.

funny but didn't quite love this. Maybe need to understand Jews in Britain better.
