Nicholas Song nicholassong — i wanted to add this because it's a heavy emotional touchstone for me. it is about a poor girl who had an *extremely weird* kidnapping experience when she was 11. the book takes place when she is in high school, cutting class, taking acid and hanging out for the first time with her friend vicky talluso. the trip causes her to "re-live" the violent experience she had when she was eleven, in her own voice. there are even these crazy illustrations, though it's not a comic book. i would definitly consider this as a precursor to any aimee bender, shelley jackson, or kelly link book. cruddy also contains reflections on crud, family life, city planning, and even love. you have to read it as a joke or else it will bash your head against the wall. dan chaon had us read chapter two in fiction class, and later i found it in mudd and checked it out. smart idea, rebecca.

Matt Fraser _att_raser — Nata, Niki Sepasang sahabat yang tiba-tiba merasa saling benci, saling butuh dan saling cinta. Kehadiran Analise dan Oliver menciptakan aroma kecemburuan di antaranya. Sebenernya alur ceritanya sangat klise, seperti novel-novel roman kebanyakan, sepasang sahabat yang saling mencintai dengan berbagai konflik di dalamnya, dan setelahnya teereeeenggg heppi ending, tamat. Namun yang menarik adalah Winna Effendi, penulis novel ini menyampaikan dengan bahasa yang bikin terus dan terus membaca sampai habis kalo perlu sampai nggak tidur semaleman demi menuntaskan mbaca, ck…ck… salut buat mbak Winna. Satu lagi yang membuat novel ini tampak beda yaitu, pengemasannya yang tidak biasa, simple dengan hanya menempelkan amplop berwarna biru dan sekaligus menjadi covernya. "It's always been you" adalah pesan di dalam amplop itu. So sweet...

Theodore Soo waikin — I thought this book was good because it brought to light a subject (teens/young adults and drinking) that deserves some deeper introspection. There were parts I could relate to (luckily not too much though!) I also liked her feminist connections.

Vladka Macurova yenna — Creationists, holocaust deniers, alien abductees, psychic mediums. It's very easy to mock weird beliefs but why do people believe in such things, given the lack of any sort of evidence? More pertinently why do otherwise smart, well educated people believe in weird things? This book presents a study of different areas of pseudo science and examines how each belief gains credence through a feedback loop of self reinforcement. One particularly interesting chapter looks at how the objectivist philosophy of Ayn Rand - surely the last word in coldly rational self interest - turned into a self destructive personality cult in defiance of all logic. Shermer explains the principles of scientific and sceptical thought, with the important point that scepticism is a method not a position. Another important chapter deals with the confirmation bias - the tendency to look for evidence that supports an existing belief and to ignore anything that contradicts it - which is why the scientific process of peer review and evaluation is so important in rooting out bad science. I would recommend this book as an excellent introduction to sceptical and critical thinking.
