Been told it's a slow start but worth the effort.

My latest experience with this book came at an upstate NY diner at 2 am. As I was waiting for my credit card receipt, the boy I recognized as a Vassar kid, who had bought himself a steak dinner to eat alone at a diner at two am on a weeknight, approached me. Not the typical- hey you go to Vassar and I’m a freshman (obvi) so I don’t understand that not everyone is ENTIRELY fascinated by the coincidence that we might find ourselves in the same location off campus at any given point (because I can’t criticize that, I used to get tickled when I’d see vc kids on the subway) oh no. this was to be a far more noteworthy exchange. I had offhandedly (read: pretentiously) made some comment in passing about the inherent misogyny of film (hello, laura mulvey! How nice of you to rear your ugly head!) as the nature of the medium with the male gaze, etc etc same overly digested pretentious film major bullshit we’re all prone to spout on occasion. To be completely honest, I’ve said such obnoxious things so many times in the past that I didn’t see it as a particularly noteworthy comment. However, our dear eavesdropping friend took note, and made a point to introduce himself and ask me to clarify what I meant. This was followed by a somewhat sketchy reassurance that when he takes film 210-211 he’ll read the mulvey article I was referencing (that God and everyone’s uncle has read by the time they graduate Vassar) and that it’s relatively simple theory about male gaze as personified by penetrative camera, et cet et cet. A two minute overview of what he will no doubt employ whenever inspiration fails to strike on a critical theory paper assignment. (notes: 1. I say this because I always default to feminist theory when I don’t have anything better to write about. 2. I realize how obnoxious I am, and thus feel it necessary to preserve my youthful arrogance so that at some point in the future I can look back and call myself a tremendous chach.) So he questions whether this is relevant in films about women by women (citing lovely and amazing, which I’m pretty sure is a queer feminist film so, like, duh, not misogynistic) and whether it’s a product of the medium or the industry. I gave him some backhanded twaffle about Almodovar and the industry working through the medium and Mulvey’s references not being overarching, recommended some book that I haven’t read but is on my shelf on women in the industry, and offered him a ride back to campus. This is that book. It's not particularly relevent to the Mulvey comments, but I love the title (mae west reference) and I think reading pseudo-feminist film industry texts makes the future seem significantly less bleak What a strange bird. He’s now my facebook friend. I’ll probably end up giving him that book I referenced, as part of my Trish from SLC punk complex that I’ve been cultivating since sophomore year of high school and was faux-old enough to consider myself capable of having a “protégé” (man, I’ve always been a terrible twat, haven’t i?)

My son loves these books and cannot get enough of them. They are very funny and helped him get into the habit of reading chapter books.

I am a complete sucker for the Richard Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell. At last count there are twenty books spanning the main character’s British army career from 1799 to 1821. This was a fascinating time populated with larger than life people, most, but not all of them, men. The main heavyweights of course are Napoleon and the Duke of Wellington and they appear here and there in the series. The main subjects of the narrative however are the common soldier, the British officer class, and an assorted cast of villains, usually French. If well done putting your main character in various famous situations can be extremely engaging and Cornwell does it very well. For example, his plot device for getting Richard Sharpe on a French navy ship for the battle of Trafalgar is completely believable. I have not read all of these books, but as with any fine series I know they are out there waiting for me when I am ready.

"You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present." Miles "Pudge" Halter started boarding school friendless, aimless and naive. It didn't take long for his roommate (nicknamed "The Colonel") to influence him to do all the bad things Miles' parents hoped he would avoid doing, including smoking, drinking and other unhealthy deeds. As if his life wasn't starting to get troublesome enough, along comes Alaska, who Miles thinks is "the hottest girl in all of human history." Alaska may be good-looking but she's also into a lot of no-good. Oh, and she has a boyfriend! But Miles likes who Miles likes, and his crush on Alaska leads him on a journey full of bad decisions, big emotions and even bigger questions. Miles, Colonel, Alaska and their other high school friends know how to have fun. They sneak off campus whenever they want. They pull legendary class pranks. They break all the rules and know exactly how far to take them without getting caught. Well, almost. So life is grand until the unthinkable happens. One of them is killed in a car crash. At first, it appears to be a simple but devastating drunk driving accident. But as an internal investigation slowly reveals, there was a lot more to the tragedy than alcohol. Looking for Alaska contains some very mature content and themes. For that reason, I would recommend this book for high school readers and above. Maturity-levels aside, it takes a smart reader to keep up with John Green's witty, sarcastic and intelligent writing. When followed closely, readers will likely laugh more per page than the average novel. Funny moments are balanced with sad events. Religious and philosophical themes run deeper than one would expect for a young adult novel, but are thought-provoking and important nonetheless. If you're a smart reader looking for a smart story that entertains, challenges your mind and even questions life as you know it, then you'll enjoy reading Looking for Alaska. (223 pages)

I enjoyed this book Once you've read most of her books it can become a bit formulaic!

I enjoyed this because it was vintage Lori Foster. I kept that in mind while reading it. Yes, her writing has come a LONG way since this, but it was fun to read one of her beginning works. Better than average for a Harlequin.
