Nice and short book that can be used during transitions, first day of class, etc. You can read this before the day begins and let the students know that they will do all sorts of activities like the character in the book did. Very relateable.

I really wanted to like this. There are some great ideas in the book- The United States bombing itself as penitence for Hiroshima, A "Twofer" community in San Francisco for conjoined twins reminiscent of the early gay community, the exploration of identity and person hood through the lens of a conjoined twin. However, The dense word play, the magical realism, the fugue-state story telling, which are descriptors that I would normally use in praise, congeal together in an unsatisfying, and confusing way. Worth reading once, probably not twice. Would recommend to people who enjoyed Geek Love, and House of Leaves.

I needed to read a "lite" book and I always enjoy a Maeve Binchy yarn! This one takes place on a Greek island. Totally predictable and corney; I liked it! :-)

The Writing of Fiction (1925) - Edith Wharton Very illuminating both on the art and craft of writing, and on the particular choices made by Wharton in her own writing and career. For the most part this looks at issues involved with writing from a fairly high level. Also here are some details of her source waters, the writers and works that she held in highest esteem, and her ideas about those works. This book should appeal to writers of fiction, as well as inquisitive readers of fiction (some great suggestions on some great books to read), and most particularly inquisitive readers of Wharton. One other small thing of interest to me is a small bit of explanation for Wharton's fascination with short eerie stories, and ghost stories, and her view to their origins. This book was written in the middle of Wharton's career, she had received the Pulitzer Prize (the first ever given to a woman) a few years earlier for Age of Innocence and was feeling more free to explore. She didn't need to prove herself as a writer, and she never had any need to write for the money. So i think she made a conscious decision to experiment and try things new. So this book is written in the time of transition between her earlier works and her later, and is quite informative of her ideas involved with this change. Most readers today know Wharton for her earlier works -- i include a quote (from the end of chapter 7 in part 3) that shows Wharton's prescience about her own future; how critics and others would react to the many books she was yet to write, and the understanding and wisdom (and a Yankee stubbornness) that allows her to sustain her own vision. Note: When she uses the word 'manner' she means "the particular shade of style [in a work of fiction] most fitted to convey its full meaning". Most novelists who have a certain number of volumes to their credit, and have sought, as the subject required, to vary their manner, have been taken to task alike by readers and reviewers, and either accused of attempting to pass off earlier works on a confiding public, or pitied for a too-evident decline in power. Any change disturbs the intellectual indolence of the average reader; and nothing, for instance, has done more to deprive Stevenson of his proper rank among English novelists than his deplorable habit of not conceiving a boy’s tale in the same spirit as a romantic novel or a burlesque detective story, of not even confining himself to fiction, but attempting travels, criticism and verse, and doing them all so well that there must obviously be something wrong about it. The very critics who extol the versatility of the artists of the Renaissance rebuke the same quality in their own contemporaries; and their eagerness to stake out each novelist’s territory, and to confine him to it for life, recalls the story of the verger in an English cathedral, who, finding a stranger kneeling in the sacred edifice between services, tapped him on the shoulder with the indulgent admonition: “Sorry, sir, but we can’t have any praying here at this hour.” This habit of the reader of wanting each author to give only what he has given before exercises the same subtly suggestive influence as all other popular demands. It is one of the most insidious temptations to the young artist to go on doing what he already knows how to do, and knows he will be praised for doing. But the mere fact that so many people want him to write in a certain way ought to fill him with distrust of that way. It would be a good thing for letters if the perilous appeal of popularity were oftener met in the spirit of the New England shop-keeper who, finding a certain penknife in great demand, did not stock that kind the following year because, as he said, too many people came bothering him about it. Later: Weaving in a thread; the last chapter in this book is about Proust, and his way of showing the passage of time. Was listening to an interview with our most recent Pulitzer winner, Jennifer Egan, about her most recent book A Visit from the Goon Squad. Her model for that book is Proust and his way of showing the passage of time.

I loved this book. I was introduced to Amy Carmichael because her life story was part of my bible curriculum when I taught 2nd grade in Christian school. Over the next few years, I read many works by her and about her. She's had a profound influence on my Christian walk. I particularly loved this book, as it traced the journey of her whole life.

Charming children's novel with entire sequences of pencil drawn pages, sans text, interspersed among the prose. Nice to see something new being done with the form of the novel.

I found this after reading Finding Your Own North Star. As much as I liked that book this one is really resonating. Chapter 2, "Wizard Vs. Lizard: The Battle for Your Brain" is fascinating. Beck said when people feel stuck, uncertain, or blocked it usually means what they've sensed about their destiny is triggering the fears of their reptilian brains.

Extremely funny read, but requires a mature reader. This book is also not for those easily offended by "bad" language.
