Many poems about time, that illusive part of our lives and what we do with it. I loved the beginning more than the ending, found his lines insightful and they led me into long trails of recognition and wonder at where we are heading this lifetime.

I went through an extended period in my life where I re-read this book every year(1). It's a very fun read. You can read it as a character study, watching how Garp changes as he ages and his responsibilities mature. You can read it as an analysis of the writer's experience (the bits about Garp's writing--and especially the chapter of Garps' book The World According to Benzenhurt--are excellent). You can read it as being about his relationships, primarily with women (his mother, his wife Helen, his transgendered friend Roberta, and his many indiscretions along the way). I first read it as a book about feminism, with my mother asking "Is it a pro-feminist or anti-feminist book?" Well, it was the early 80s. That isn't the best way to read Garp (and it has some nasty presuppositions, including that the book must be one of those two), but I decided it was pro-feminist. Not everyone agrees. At its heart, though, it's mostly anti-extremes. Garp spends his life trying tearing away from extremism: his mother embraces it as a way to define herself and he fears his own sexual and artistic urges can overwhelm everything else in his life. It isn't a heady book, though, and it certainly isn't intellectual (in the sense that "intellectual" means "inaccessable"). From a writing standpoint, Garp does some interesting and risky things. It tells a person's story from conception to death, as opposed to skipping to "the good parts."(2) It switches focus from Garp's mother to Garp himself, leaving a protagonist dangling (and it's so well done that we barely notice). And 2/3 of the way through he take an extended break to read an engrossing chapter from one of Garp's books, making the entirety of Garp's life a frame story for that chapter (and in some sense for his writing). So take that last part. Garp is a frame around his writing, and that writing culminates with that chapter, condensing his whole understanding of his life into that. So what is that chapter? We could argue about that longer than we would about Garp's meaning as a whole. And Garp lets us ask ourselves the question: can one writer's life be summed-up in his writing, or does that miss something important. When you get to the last line, pay attention. If you find it sad, remember that he was a father and a writer and he connected (in both pleasant and unpleasant ways) with many people. Then re-read the line again. It bears re-reading. 1) I also re-read Little Women annually, usually right before or after Garp. I don't know what the connection between the two is. 2) Irving likes this technique. When it's handled well, it's extremely effective. If you like it, check out The Ass Saw the Angel by [Nick Cave]

The Chopin Manuscript is truly a triller. A unique collaboration by 15 writers, Jeffrey Deaver wrote the frist and last chapter and other writers such as Lisa Scottoline, Lee Child, Joseph Finder, John Gilstrap and others continued the story line. It is really an exciting read with twists and turns and the reader has to decipher the good guys from the bad guys. What is really wonderful is the input of classical music and rare manuscripts in the story line of terrorism and political intriuqe. The reader of the audio CD, Alfred Molina, does an outstanding presentation using Polish, Serbian and Italian accents.

I am 'currently reading' the book, so i'm sure there is more to learn, but for the most part, the book is getting at: trust your gut, it is far more educated than you may realize. The subconscious is a highly intuitive mechanism that often times we wait until we have scientific proof to believe, well, the book suggests we believe that snap assessment - suggesting this tool can be used in relationships, the work place, etc. casual read, with reader's choice to think at any level about the contents of the book.

When this story opened in the face of a hurricane, I was riveted by the prospect of people going crazy, perhaps a murder mystery, trees flying into windows or something in the air that made everyone freaky for a bit.... but the hurricane itself was just the catalyst in bringing a subtle aftermath which paints two families in a different light, one being hard working farm people, the others artsy carefree people. Ruth and Dana, daughters from each family tell the story of their lives in alternating chapters. As each story unfolds the women tell us about very different sets of parents, marriage, love, woodstock, sex, divorce and careers. One of the gals main issues is her struggle with a lesbian partner and how keeping the relationship secret puts stress on them. The other mostly talks about her lukewarm marriage, not really loving her husband and the ups and downs of motherhood. Honestly while The Good Daughters was a well written story with a timeless engaging theme, the book moved at a pace that felt snail-like to me. The plight of walking out every step of Ruth and Dana's adolescence and adult lives was comparable to a lifetime movie with really bad actors, impossible to stop watching yet tediously long at the same time. I guess the idea of struggling gay people not being accepted in the work force and women who marry Joe-Schmo trapped in a loveless, boring sex life's has been recycled to often. By the time I was done reading this book it felt like a month out of my life......On writing, the plot is simple, the big secret is easily revealed and I had a feeling it was coming, Maynard presented it though with ease and believability, so for that matter it didn't bring anything mysterious or shocking to the women's story. Overall a tad disappointing but this would be a great novel for those who love a slow paced contemporary.

Matsuri Hino, Vampire Knight, vol. 6 (ViZ, 2007) Vampire Knight returns with a volume that halts the forward motion of the story to set u0p a number of plot points that will seemingly be used farther down the road. We've spent most of our time up till now with Yuki, Zero, and Kaname, but over the winter break, the night class head off to the country, giving us some insight into some of the previously minor characters in the series. Looks like Hino's setting this up for a good long run now that she's had a series go beyond five volumes. ***
