Simultaneously the most exhausting, bizarre, hilarious, and rewarding work I've ever encountered.

I just bought a second copy of this book. Feinstein's book gives you a look inside the military academies and inside college sports and he does it with appreciation and insight. He cares about the young people and admires the talen and intelligence, but he doesn't cover up the problems. What I liked most is getting a flavor of the educational experience as well as the sports experience.

This is a fascinating book and I highly recommend it. The author also has written "Blink" and "The Tipping Point" that I wish to read. I guess you would characterize these books as "pop sociology" which I ordinarily don't care much for. But "Outliers" spells out some fascinating ideas and some seem to hold true in my experience.

"Somewhere in everyone's inner city is a cemetary of old loves. For the lucky contented few who like where they are in their lives and who they're with, it's a mostly forgotten place. The tombstones there are faded and overturned, the grass uncut; brambles and wildflowers grow everywhere. For other people, their place is as stately and ordered as a military graveyard. Its many flowers are well watered and tended, the white gravel walks have been carefully raked. All signs indicate that this spot is visited often. For most of us, though, our cemetary is a hodgepodge. Some sections are neglected or completely ignored. Who cares about these stones or the old loves buried beneath them? Even their names are hard to remember. But other gravestones there are important, whether we like to admit it or not. We visit them often - sometimes too often, truth be told. And one can never tell how we'll feel when these visits are over: sometimes lighter, sometimes heavier. It is entirely unpredictable how we'll feel going back home to today."

I just loved this story! It is one of my favorite books I have ever read. It was perfect - scary perfect. It was just the type of story I wanted to read, like it was waiting for me knowing I would love it. I liked the premise of this book and how it is slightly different than most of the other "paranormal" type romance stories out there. And who wouldn't love the sweetness of Caleb and Maggie? I don't want to spoil it but I am so glad I read it and that there is a sequel coming out soon. My only fear for this book is that when the next book in the series comes out that it won't be as good. I don't want this book tainted.

The book was a sweet read aloud for my summer evenings with the kids. Not as good as Edward Tulane. Can't wait to see the movie.

This is when I found out that you could be bored even in Auschwitz - provided you were choosy. We waited and we waited, and as I come to think of it, we waited for nothing to happen. This boredom, combined with this strange waiting, was, I think, approximately what Auschwitz meant to me, but of course I am only speaking for myself. As he said, he's only speaking for himself. Here, I am speaking for myself, as is the case for any and all fiction, and even some of the non. What I speak involves my understanding, not my knowledge, my general aversion to gnosticism grown to unpronounceable proportions. Such as it should be with regards to the Shoah, yes? First the horror, then the silence. Despite that, let's talk. If Kertész is willing, how are we to forbear? With a cracking voice, she desperately shouted something to the effect that if our distinctiveness was unimportant, than all this was mere chance, and that if there was the possibility of her being someone other than whom she was fated to be, then all of this was utterly without reason, and to her that idea was totally "unbearable." If you are punished, and have committed a crime, you are guilty. If you are punished, and have committed [...], ranging from birth to creed to whatever the reason one condemns another wholesale and complete, each on either side simply one of a many millions, you are innocent. A horror, the horror, your horror, or so they say. They, the bystanders, millions compounded and compounded again muttering in the stands, still capable of wanting, needing, crafting a story. They need their catharsis, especially the diffuse of responsibilities and unwitting (maybe? perhaps? they claim victimhood as well and don't want to think about it) accomplices. You will provide. You? You lived. That length of time of your life, that skein of events and your reactions to such, the ideas and emotions filling in ever faster as all those gift baskets of audience prescribed sensibilities of disbelief, rage, terror, tears, fall by the wayside. You, a human being, lived, and made full use of your human capacity for feeling. Happiness, annoyance, puzzlement. The finding of beauty in a concentration camp. All of this, as I said, I noticed, but not in the same way as later, when I started to fit the pieces together and could sum up and recall the events step by step. I had become used to every new step gradually, and this hadn't given me the detachment I needed to actually notice what was happening. Was there a story in there somewhere, one a little more entertaining than the fact you managed to live to this day, and all the turns and twists and often boring banalities involved in such a happenstance? That would imply a reason behind it all, when everyone knows the capriciousness of life. Far deeper down than I would have thought, this knowledge, considering how they keep insisting on the climax, the tragedy, the entertainment. And this is only one genocide out of many, only one part of one genocide if one thinks only of the six million. What of the rest of the voices? Do they not fit within the parameters of what deserves to be heard? If those who still live on refuse the title of "victim", contemplate the multifarious of their experiences within the full range of feeling and thought, grasp their memories of such a time of their life as anyone else would, are they worth the time? Then, that day I also experienced that very same tenseness, that same itchy feeling and clumsiness that came over me when I was with them, that I had occasionally felt at home: as if I weren't entirely okay, as if I didn't entirely conform to the ideal; in other words, somehow as if I were Jewish. That was a rather strange feeling, because, after all, I was among Jews and in a concentration camp. He speaks of his lack of faith while the blood bound heritage of it couples him to a baffled mind and moldering body. Only slowly, and not without some humorous puzzlement and wonder, did the idea dawn on me: this situation, this state of imprisonment, had to be what was causing his agony. I was almost tempted to say to him: "Don't be sad. After all, it's not important." But I was afraid to be so bold, and then I also remembered that I didn't know any French. He puzzles at the monotone view of his day to day life by others, one restricted to pity, pity, pity. As if his effort to see the worth in living had time for that, when there were so many other things to think upon. But who can judge what is possible or believable in a concentration camp? Who could explore, exhaust all those countless ideas, inventions, games, jokes, and ponderable theories, which are easily accessible and transferable from a make-believe world of fantasy into a concentration-camp reality? You couldn't, even if you mustered the totality of your knowledge. The horror, the horror, the horror. What else?

Honestly, I really love pulpy series mysteries. I really love them. I can't help it. My mom handed this to me and it was like she offered me crack, and all unknowing, like an innocent babe, I tried some, and now I just CAN'T STOP. Does my mother know that she potentially ruined my life by hooking me on crack, I mean, Janet Evanovich?! I'll have to ask her. Anyway, these are funny, and the main character has a hamster she really cares about, and they're set in Jersey, and there's a good sense of place. I've read 1-4 and I'm trying really hard to wait for my next hit.

I liked this book, but wasn't totally gripped by it. She contrasts a patriarchal way of living with a feminist way of living. She is good on seeing how the former is bad for men as well as women. I guess if I had a problem it would be that she sees feminism as a world view that is right for all - for men and women. I think I'd rather she called it humanism, or should that be Christian humanism?
