I read his first book Running with Scisscors and I really enjoyed it. He's not for everybody though as his writing can be quite shocking in his use of language and mature content. This book was not great not as entertaining as Running with Scisscors. It has short stories that were ok for a ten minute read here and there but otherwise I would not reccomend it.I did not reconnect with his teenage persona that I had enjoyed in his first book but I guess the boy grew up and got somewhat of a normal life now. I'm glad he seems happy with a likeable partner and happy dogs!

Because you are interested in both religion and politics, you may enjoy this true story of a man who uses education to bridge the religious and political gaps between Americans and Afghans by building schools, especially schools for girls, in Afghanistan.

this book was ok. there was nothing in there that was eye opening. Carter states the obvious as to what would resolve the conflict, i.e., israel needs to comply with all of the UN resolutions, and the arab world needs to recognize israel. the one exception to the obvious was carter's description of conditions in gaza and the west bank. i would recommend this book to anyone who is not familiar with the situation in the Holy land. good read.

The same cast of characters from The Alienist are back and this time they go after a woman suspected of being a child-killer. This doesn't have the same intensity as the first book, but it's a great read and I loved catching up the characters in this one. ---- Updated review 8/2015 It's been a while since my last reread of this and I was in the mood to revisit Carr's fascinating group of amateur and otherwise detectives. I had rated this four stars, but I so thoroughly enjoyed it this time around that I'm bumping that up to five. Carr is once again brilliant at weaving fact and fiction in this story.

I was really hoping this would be about geology, along the lines of Basin and Range. It wasn't. It's divided into three sections; in the first, McPhee wanders around unpopulated Alaska with several other men in several canoes/kayaks. I think one was from the Sierra Club, one from the Bureau of Land Management, etc. They fished to supplement their food supplies, and camped along the rivers and streams. The second section was about the attempt to get Alaska's capital moved from Juneau. I now know more about this issue than I ever wanted to. At the end of the section it really sounded like the move was going to come off; people voted and wanted the capital moved to Willow. (This was written in 1977.) But a check of the primary authority on such matters, Wikipedia, shows that Juneau is still the capital, so McPhee must have been stoned or something when he wrote that sentence. In the third section McPhee moved to Eagle, a teeny tiny town on the Yukon River, and pretty much just interviewed the residents of Eagle and told us their stories. Some are interesting; some aren't. (The 2010 census showed the population of Eagle as 86.) In spite of the need for women to be tough in the wilds of Alaska, there are no women's libbers here. The women do all the cookin' and much, much more; wood choppin', skinnin' of critters, waitin' for the menfolk to come a-home from their trips. Maybe a few people sound relatively sane, but most sound a bit crazy. Or a lot crazy. There are your Cliven Bundy types up there. They don't like the people of the lower 48 dictating the rules in Alaska. Alaska is different. People of Alaska, hear me: Alaska is not different. It is a state that in many respects is qualitatively different from, say, Connecticut. It is not legally, Constitutionally, different. Because you build a cabin on a plot of land, trap and hunt your own critters for food, bulldoze yourself a gravel landing strip for your little plane, it does not follow that you now own that land. Don't get all uppity when the Bureau of Land Management comes to tell you you don't actually own that land. You know how I know I own my home? Because I wrote a check; the bank agreed to supply the rest; we had a ceremony (with lawyers for both sides) where we all signed many sheets of paper; and at the end of it one of these sheets of paper was the title and deed to my home. Plus I pay real estate taxes on this home. If the Bureau of Land Management comes to tell me I don't own my home, then we have a problem. You, Alaska trapper and fisher with no title to your little cabin, you don't have a problem. McPhee's writing style wears thin. This was 438 pages of it.

Love P. Gregory, and the Elizabethan Era, so I have no complaints about any of her books. I would start with this book if you like period pieces/Elizabethan/Tudor era books.

After a lengthy stall, somewhere in the middle of Kavalier and Clay I found myself entirely enthralled. That may be because, somewhere in the middle of the book, it suddenly became something of an epic. I want to re-read it now, but I'm not ready.

I think this book was originally written as two books: Saturday Night AND Sunday Morning. Sunday Morning was mind-blowingly fabulous. Saturday Night makes you appreciate the finally coherenet thoughts of the main character in Sunday Morning. Maybe there's a metaphor at work about being brought into the light of reason or being enlightened? Anyways, if you can struggle through the first 200 pages or so, the last 40 pages are incredibly rewarding. Psh...it only took me what...over 2 years to finish reading it? :) (I think the author wrote SM and the publishes were like "psh! too short!" so he wrote SN to add presence to it on the shelf in the book store. but that's just me)
