Very powerful book about two cousins trying to cope with traumas in their past. Ruth White handles an amazing summer with sober revelations with aplomb.

This was a little bit harder to get into. There were a lot of characters to keep straight and lots of details on Paris. I thought the second half of the book flowed a lot better. The book was a lot deeper in themes than some we read for the book club.

I'm reading this with my book club. I'll refrain from commenting until I've caught up with them!

This was one of my favorite books as a child. It was read over and over again so much by both myself and my sisters that the spine fell off! The last time I read this book I was about 12 or 13 and since then have revisited the story in the form of the film so when I reread the book recently I tried to look at it with a critical eye as if for the first time but enjoyed it just as much as I had in the past. I would recommend this book for Year 5 and 6 children however I remember reading it in Year 3 or 4 so perhaps my ability to judge appropriate age ranges is off! Girls who find the modern Jaqueline Wilson type book enjoyable may find it interesting to read a girls books that was considered "modern" in its day but is now a bit dated. Certain readers may find the pace slow and some of the content preachy but many will also identify with one or all of the girls and find a special place for this book in their hearts.

I read this 10 years ago and it echoed my sentiments on Canada's morality police. I'm reading it again for my thesis. Enjoy.

Another hilarious romp from Janet Evanovich. I think I liked the characters the most (out of her romances) in this book, but not my most favorite story line. Still great fun tho!

http://em-and-emm.blogspot.com/2011/0... At first glance, this is simply the story of the writing of the English language’s most important reference book: the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). However, in the hands of Simon Winchester, this seemingly dull story takes on a great deal of heart and life. The OED spans twelve volumes, defines 414,825 words, and contains 178 miles of text. As a point of comparison, the average fluent English speaker knows about 20,000 words. From its inception to the completion of the first edition of the OED, 70 years elapsed, and in those seven decades a group of dedicated scholars ponderously worked their way through all the words in the English language. Their strategy was simple: read books, and write down every word they read. Since this is obviously a gargantuan task, they enlisted the help of interested volunteers in English-speaking countries around the world. In charge of the project was Professor James Murray, a man of humble origins who had attained his place at Oxford University through self-education (he never formally completed grammar school). Over time, he found that over ten thousand of the OED’s definitions were submitted by a single volunteer: one Dr. William Chester Minor, who apparently lived a mere forty miles from Oxford. Professor Murray took it upon himself to visit this prolific contributor to the dictionary, only to find that Dr. Minor was an American Civil War veteran who had murdered a man in London and was then found to be insane and was locked away for life in an insane asylum. What followed from this shocking discovery was a friendship and an extremely productive partnership that would last for the remainder of their lives. I can certainly understand why the history of a dictionary would not be most people’s choice of reading material. One of the things that first drew me to this book was its author, Simon Winchester. Winchester is a geologist by training; he graduated from Oxford University and worked in the oil industry in Africa before becoming a journalist. I’ve read three of his other books, about the world’s first geologic map, the eruption of the volcano Krakatoa in 1883, and the deadly 1906 San Francisco earthquake. I knew from experience that Winchester has the writing ability to bring a potentially dull and specific topic to life, making it engaging and interesting to the general reader. For example, I find geologic maps to be endlessly entertaining, and I suspect I’m a member of a tiny subset of the population who thinks this way, but his book on the first geologic map still ended up being a critically acclaimed NYT bestseller. So, I went into this book with high expectations, and I was not at all disappointed. Winchester does a very nice job of weaving together multiple topics: the history of the OED itself, the personal histories of James Murray and W.C. Minor, their relationship, and finally the origins and etymology of many words in the English language. His depiction of Dr. Minor’s circumstances is particularly well done… although Dr. Minor murdered an innocent man in cold blood, Winchester does a very good job of exploring the reasons behind Dr. Minor’s madness, and he really shows the reader that Dr. Minor was really a victim of a series of tragedies and unfortunate occurrences in his life. In addition to learning about the dictionary and the scholars, I also learned a fair amount about the culture in Victorian England, certain practices in the Union and Confederate Armies in the US Civil War, psychology, and the history of the English language. Each chapter was prefaced with a different entry from the OED, giving a word, its entire etymology, all of its definitions, and multiple usages in different quotations. So, not only is the writing in this book smooth, sophisticated and engaging, it’s also really educational. By the end of the book I had made a list of fourteen words that I did not previously know (though three of those words turned out to be obsolete and no longer in common use). I am eagerly anticipating the incorporation of the word “sesquipedalian” into my everyday conversations. At less than 300 pages, this is a pretty quick read, and substantially shorter than any other book I’ve read by Simon Winchester. It’s recommended reading for anyone with interests in linguistics, etymology, or psychology and psychiatry in Victorian England. 5/5 stars

how can you give anything less than four stars to a first-hand account of the holocaust!!! wow. but i don't mean to be patronizing... it's really a powerful experience of despair that we all need to share with wiesel and every soul who didn't live to tell the story.
