In 7th grade, a bunch of my friends and I had a huge crush on her. In retrospect, she was only trying to get us to buy her so-so autobiography. Blast...

Here's the thing: There are some male authors - geniuses - who write floridly about life, love and emotion in ways that feel artifical, glib, ego-driven and too clever by half. Marquez, Rushdie, and, to some extent, Chabon, all do this, and so what rises to the surface in otherwise beautifully written books is a certain amount of distance from and disdain for real human beings. I prefer and really admire male writers who write about these things more forthrightly & without pretty flourishes: Hemingway, Coetzee. There's no falsity, no attempt at beauty. They're honest, and I like my books that way.

After reading a dangerous gentleman, I was excited to read more of Julia London's. I have to say that this book, while highly entertaining... didn't exactly match the quality of the other book. While there were some great moments in this book, it doesn't strike me as anything really memorable. I'll give London another chance though.

David Sedaris can turn the mundane into something so interesting and amusing. This book is a greaat way to keep a happy face during this long gray Spring here in Seattle

I adore Ann Coulter. She says it like it is. I learned a great deal from her book. She tells things in a humorous way. She is a crack-up!

What an odd, damaged pair they made, Lillian Hellman and Dashiell Hammett. Both came from families dominated by lying, philandering fathers. Dash idolized his much put-upon mother and hated his father, swearing never to be like him, but went on to become a drunk and a womanizer himself, betraying every woman he was with and running from every possibility of emotional intimacy; Lillian despised her doormat mother and swore never to put up with such betrayal and mistreatment, sure she would never settle for less than devotion and fidelity, yet her most important relationship was with a drunken womanizer incapable of commitment and terrified of intimacy. Their tangled, complicated relationship was the most important in both their lives, but it was never all that either of them wanted; it may, however, have been all that either of them could manage. Their output as writers was strange, too. Dash wrote important, influential work but wrote almost nothing in the last decades of his life, sinking into alcoholism, fatally limited by his refusal to confront deeper emotions in himself or in his fiction, trapped by the model of stoic, defensive masculinity he did so much to represent in his fiction and couldn't get away from in his life. She was an important playwright but her best work was written early on with Dash acting as fierce editor; as he became increasingly unable (or unwilling) to play that role, her plays grew less successful and her confidence shrank. The series of memoirs she published after his death was enormously successful but was full of self-serving obfuscations and outright fabrications; any suggestion that she was ever less than truthful, though, was met with fury. And she was good at fury. Tortured by his refusal to be all to her that she wanted when he lived, she was determined to make him hers after his death. And God help anyone who got in the way. Fierce characters, both of them, not admirable in the whole but compelling and strong.

Stealing Jake stopped me with its cover and once I read the back blurb I knew it was a book I'd like to read. It didn't disappoint. While in places I found the romance a tad flowery for my taste, those spots were few and far between. Overall the sweet story between Livy and Jake had me smiling and was well balanced with a string of suspense. The story moved at a good pace and kept me interested from beginning to end. A great debut novel for Pam Hillman.

I have never read any Nicholas Sparks so I grabbed one for our Monterey Trip. Fun read. He seems to dig the bittersweet ends.

Great writing which is what I expect from McCarthy. The story was another of his that took a long time to get into and follows a character you would never wish to know. I find this book a good character piece but lacking the compelling storyline that makes a great book for me. So good but not great.
