The movie is amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing how the book compares.

another one of the fourth grade books that kind of changed my experience as a reader (all my teachers throughout my school career - with the exception of the bastard that taught first year english - had us reading things that were really quite complicated for our age level). in california, fourth graders at most schools do california history. at a catholic school, that means mission projects, but for everyone, i think, it means studying the indians. so for our unit, we got to read ishi. the story should be pretty obvious from the title. the things i remember most about it were a) the sex scene (which was recreated in the movie we watched after finishing the book) b) how sad it was, and c) how long it was. i categorize it as historical fiction, because it isn't a true biography (though, i suppose, what is?) and because it's more the idea of ishi that drives the book, rather than ishi himself. but yeah, actually really depressing.

~~** Originally Posted @ ReadingDiva's Blog - Rating 4.5 of 5 Reviewed by Vicky: In Grave Dance we rejoin Alex a month after her last ordeal to find that she is continuing with her life as normally as possible despite the new, slightly different view she has of the world. She has been asked to consult on a case where a foot has turned up in a swamp after a flood and they need her expertise to find the rest of the body. As she searches, she finds several other body parts and she realises that glamour is involved so the case is handed over to the Fae Investigation Bureau. As the case continues to develop, Alex and her friends are repeatedly attacked by what turns out to be magical constructs using glamour and after each encounter the tension with the FIB investigator, Agent Nori, increases further. Falin Andrews returns dramatically, thrusting himself back into Alex’s life. Though she doesn’t want him there, especially after he upped and left after the last case they worked on and he hasn’t been seen or heard from since, her body seems to have other plans for her. As Alex finds out more about Falin she becomes increasingly confused but it is obvious that he does have strong feelings for her even though he uses his experience at hiding what he is feeling. Death is still hot for Alex and wants to protect her but finds that he is conflicted by his duties. He’s not impressed with the return of Falin and see’s him as the competition for Alex’s affections. I’ve become quite fond of Death’s appearances, even though they are normally at a time when Alex is facing trouble, the subtle emotions that he seems to project about his feelings for Alex make him seem like a sweet, sensitive and caring character. After reading Grave Witch I have been looking forward to finding out more about Alex and how her abilities develop and also how the relationships with her friends and family change. I’m pleased to say that Grave Dance didn’t disappoint. Kalayna Price is creating an individual interpretation of an alternative world of witches and Fae. We are given further glimpses of the world of Faerie which adds an intriguing element to the story and definitely something I hope we see more of in the future.

Really fascinating. Very thoroughly researched, and Hochschild covers a lot of different aspects of what happened, who all the players were and what they were doing (King Leopold and the two men working against his regime in England, essentially). I suppose it's a bit anglo-centric on the whole, but Hochschild points out that there is a huge lack of primary source accounts from the people of the Congo. I've been wanting to get into reading more history, but I find the genre daunting. This was a really good, accessible, readable, introduction.
On the surface this looks like the perfect book for me. It's got the reincarnation thing and the historical fiction thing. But I couldn't get into it. I read about half before I gave it up. It was, as the title suggests ... dark.

I love this book. I gave a copy of it to my now husband on on of our first dates. The way Baldwin writes is so captivating and though on the surface I have little in common with the characters, at its core, his writing is really about the human condition. I love Baldwin.

Apparently this is a book for kids, but as it came out when I was 22, I did not read it as a kid. I wish I had. It shows how safe our lives would be if there were no (physical or emotional) pain and nothing to complicate life--safe and unimaginative and flat and meaningless. Many people take this as having a political message, but, IMHO, it has more of an emotional message than a political one (but perception is what makes things interesting and leads to many differences in the world). I don't see it as speaking of a world of "Sameness" brought about by some government imposition; I see it as a community of people who collectively (at one point in their history) decided that society would be better without differences which would lead to disagreements, bullying, wars, pain, etc. The world we see in The Giver is the society that evolved out of a world much like our own. And, just like in our society, we see a people that have beliefs that are not questioned because it has always been that way, a world of black and white--leaving no room for nuance, real respect for differences, or change (of course, our society is not at the extreme of the one presented in this book; we do have many people who question). One thing I have seen over my life is the pressure in our society to "fit in" and be just like everyone else. There is so much marketing aimed at making people not think independently; even some "news" organizations are merely spewing propaganda and fear to keep things the same. This book shows the dangers of losing ourselves, even for the "benefit" of all. It speaks in a simple language kids can understand, and prompts them to think and to question--which is important if we are to have any real dialogue about and develop respect for our differences.
I liked this book a great deal. It's a nice overview of foreign influence on Indian food, from the Mughals to the British. Of course, one cannot simply list "and they borrowed this from them" and have anything compelling. The book is a combination of the more "important" history (your landings, invasions, and politics) and the attendant cultural change - seen so strongly in the foods one adopts or fails to adopt from a foreign land. Collingham is a good writer and the book flows well. Very, very enjoyable. There's also a nice little collection of recipes, from simple mango lassi to much more complicated dhansak.
