Like many of Charlotte Bronte's characters, those in this novel are endearing women who the reader cannot help but wish happiness by the end of the story. I so easily become attached to her women, and this is true of of Miss Lucy Snowe in Villette. Following her story through to its end has its interesting points and its ironies (always the case in Bronte's novels), but the book is long. As I read it, I found myself often wishing Charlotte to make her point. Still, if you can get past the incessant French dialog inserted into this English novel, it makes for an ok read.

It's super rich with factoids about the history of television, the history of comedy and television, the revolution of comedy fit to the television as we know it today, the comics who made it all happen, the beaurocracy that goes into producing a television show like this, and how you'd get into a business like television, or comedy, and how to manage yourself as a performer in the business. It's also an easy read if you know some of the names that went along with the early Saturday Night Live episodes and it's fun to hear their stories.

Okay... really I've only read two of the inclusions in this book: In Dubious battle, which I give 3 stars to cause it's just not Steinbeck's best and Of Mice and Men which I loved as a kid so lets say 4 stars.

Taken completely by surprise, Rose Lloyd lost both her job and husband to a younger woman in their office. After twenty-five years of juggling marriage, motherhood and career, Rose now is faced with the prospects of putting her life back together. Factor in an old flame from her past, complications in the lives of her children and the prospects of moving out of the house she has grown to love and she now has a lot to think about. Likable characters and a well-crafted story with good lessons learned. Despite there was no "revenge", sometimes the best revenge is merely having the good character not to demand it.

Not my favorite work of Shakespeare. It's just a commentary on how stupid and impulsive young love is. Say I'm not romantic, but they barely knew one another.

This is an interesting book, though somewhat simply written. I knew very little about this theft of the Mona Lisa, and it was nice to finally learn about it. I did find it interesting how much publicity the case received, and it certainly explains much of the painting's popularity. I personally have never been a fan of the painting--it seems very dull compared to others by Leonardo. So I enjoyed seeing how this painting became such a celebrity. Adn the book, by often discussing the painting as if it was the real person, brings that out very clearly.

these daily devotionals by buechner are short enough to easily swallow whenever you have a few spare moments during the day. i've never been one to sink easily into the routine of devotions, but this book caught my eye and has continued to hold my attention.

An interesting portrayal of some parts of the South, who at least as of 1999 when this book was, written, are stil fighting the Civil War. Probably not for everyone but it is certainly for those interested in the Civil War and it's aftermath. It is also somewhat of a snapshot of the prejudices still rampant in our our society. Made me think of the current "tea party" and their narcissistic, selfish approach to living and simplistic understanding of government.

One of my favorites by Anderson, and I've read a ton of her books. I've heard people complain that Annie's a little too innocent and simple and her relationship with Alex is more father-daughter than husband-wife, but I thought the story was lovely. It's the late 1800's Oregon. Annie is the judge's youngest daughter and considered to be an imbecile. She had a fever when she was six that affected her brain, supposedly. At twenty, she's raped by Douglas Montgomery. The Montgomery family is very wealthy; Alex, the elder of the brothers, throws Douglas out of town. Annie's father decides not to prosecute because the stigma of having an idiot daughter might affect his chances in the political world. Alex, learning that Annie is pregnant four months after the rape, decides to marry her, figuring that he needs an heir and that it will be better for her. He had mumps as a child and believes himself to be sterile. As for Annie, he thinks she's retarded and doesn't think it would be cruel taking her child away from her and returning her to her parents after she's conceived. It doesn't take long for him to discover that she isn't an idiot, after which he starts falling in love with her and doing his best to win her heart. I guess I wouldn't recommend this to people who like the two mains to be very much equals who are always squaring off against each other. It isn't a battle-of-the-sexes story. It's already set in a patriarchal time, and Alex is somewhat older than Annie (eleven years maybe?), better-educated, richer, and not affected by a physical disability. He treats her very sweetly though and does his best to help her and make her happy once he understands the nature of her problem. Annie, who is quite intelligent, has been neglected, abused, and hidden away by her parents ever since she was six; she doesn't speak, can't read, write, or count, and is ignorant about a lot of stuff people would take for granted. However, the premise for her situation is totally believable. I hate subtle sexism in books, especially stupid heroines, and I can't stand romance novels where the male is so perfect and smart and the female gets jerked around by him constantly--this book wasn't like that at all. Also, Annie wasn't one of those horribly annoying heroines who is defined by her goodness and generosity and gentleness. She actually has depth and a personality and personal quirks. Anderson is such a good writer! Some of the scenes were so poignant. And the story had a timeless sense to it. Even though it was set in the past, it didn't have that faraway feel that some historical romance has. Other than how Annie is treated due to her disability, it pretty much feels like a contemporary setting.
