Wow. No. Seriously. Wow. This guy? Deep. Sawyer challenges a lot of assumptions in this book. About god, about evolution, about astronomy and about paleontologists. "Take me to your paleontologist." Once again, Sawyer does aliens in a way that makes them alien in such perfect ways. This book goes to the edges of philosophy and beyond and it was a very interesting and challenging ride to be on. Wow. It does at times read like a textbook to varying subjects, there's an awful lot of science and philosophy the reader needs to understand as the the main character makes his journey. However, there's a large dose of cultural context, from Carl Sagan to the skeptical inquirer to South Park. The character of Tom Jericho FEELS like he lives in the late 90s/early 00s, with all the things that a person of that era would know. Plus? Aliens with humor!

Painful, painful, painful read. It was all I could do to finish it. And, well, actually, I didn't. I had to skip the last 40 pages of Miranda's section. I had such high hopes for this book, too. The premise (half the book is told from the point of view of the kidnapper and the other have from the perspective of his victim) was so incredibly intriguing to me. When it comes down to it, I just didn't believe the characters. They were totally false to me. I kept thinking, "there is no way these characters would behave in this manner." I recognize that part of that feeling might be due to the fact it was written in 1963 (you definitely get the sense that it's set in the late 50's or early 60's) and takes place in England... but... The characters were simply false. I couldn't buy into their actions and emotions. He was incredible weak and quite simply, stupid and Miranda was a harpy. It's funny because initially you think that perhaps Freddie is narcissistic and then wind up realizing that Miranda, in her own way, is equally as bad. Sure, she doesn't kidnap anyone but her self-absorption is tiresome. By the end, I had no sympathy for her and could care less about whether she lived or died. She's locked in the basement of a man she doesn't know and appears to have zero fear and feels completely comfortable belittling and humiliating her capture. Huh?!? Well... I could go on and on about that. Another aspect that bothered me was that I kept getting the distinct impression that the author (not just the characters) really disliked women and that much of Miranda's diatribes were really reflections of the author's opinions of society at the time. Which was, ultimately, just one more aspect of the novel that I found annoying. Seriously, had I not set a goodreads.com goal of 75 books, I would've put this book down at page 180ish; but I felt as though I'd invested too much time to just give up. So... I would say... avoid this book. It's not worth the struggle. If the topic is one you're intrigued by, then I would highly, highly recommend Still Missing by Chevy Stevens. Stevens has a MUCH better insight into human nature.

Dan Masterson writes poems that explore the internal and external worlds, literally things seen—like the horrified soldier witnessing a grenade exploding under a baby in “Cook-Out,” or unseen--the deep sadness inside the woman attending to tiny—and seen--details in “The Woman in the Corner House.” Dan Masterson writes poems at the nexus of these places; characters pass through events, large and small, and emerge utterly transformed. His writing is simple and direct, but also with an obvious love of words and language that shines through each piece in his collection, which spans 30 years of dare I say, masterful work.

This book is story after story of Greg Noll's colorful addiction to big surf. Many admire him for being the pioneer of big wave surfing, but I admire him for living without regrets. It's good enough to read on the beach during a off-shore winds, head high surf day... alright, almost that good.

Crescendo was pretty good, although the series is a lot like Twilight. And I'm not a fan of Twilight. But in some ways it's better, and the character reminds me of me a little, so I will keep reading. Although Patch makes me want to clonk him. :)

I read these Thomas Paine pamphlets in high school. It was as if I had found an almost perfect reflection of my own values, articulated clearly and stirringly. In those days, unsurprisingly, my intellectual home was with the Enlightenment and the values of the American and French revolutions. College studies were to expand and challenge these views.

Too much about coffee and took too long to get mystery.

Miranda July, if you weren't famous, and we met sometime, possible in the produce section of the grocery store, or the back alley of some Chinese restaurant, we would be friends, I think. In another life perhaps. Your just my style. A little humor, a little sex, throw in the bizarre and it's love.

Everyone needs a copy of this book. It is one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. The illustrations are stunning, and the concept of the book is profound.
