Ruka Hung rukahung — Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child know how to scare the shit out of people. I am a huge fan of Preston and Child. They have a way of writing thrillers that hit every emotion, that are unlike any other novel I’ve ever gotten my hands on, and they just plain make an impact. Nora Kelly, an archeologist, receives a letter from her father who has been missing and presumed dead for decades. At the same time she is attacked by creatures that haunt her daydreams for weeks after. The letter tells of the legendary city of Quivara, a city of gold. With an expedition in toe, she leads the group into the canyons of the American west in search of the city and, unknowingly, danger. As usual the authors are amazing writers, and I love their styles. It’s simple with a dash of something exotic. The characters are all fleshed out with an accuracy that helps you to follow their every move and believe their dialogue. They’re grisly, make you shudder and produce horror on an entirely new level. There’s a mystery, which is answered with a twist and the most curious of answers. It’s never a cut and dry source for suspense, there are more elements that drag the reader deeper into the story. Biased I may be, but I’m extremely picky when it comes to mysteries. I’ve read ones that are pure cliché and thrillers that just bore me with their corny premises. I praise these authors, and this book, because of how well it was written, how on the edge of my seat it pushes me, and because it’s a damn good thrill ride.

Elisa Lanconeli elisalanco0f5c — Plenty is a sort of travel-log, with very little physical distance traveled. The authors choose to only eat food grown or caught within a 100 mile radius of their Vancouver BC home where they live together for one year. At first they think that it will be too easy, then they think it will be impossible. In the end they're wrong on both accounts. But they become blogging celebrities before long. The 100 mile diet becomes famous in a lot of the parts of the internet that I visit. The authors alternate writing from chapter to chapter. Each chapter is a month of their experiment. Each month you wonder what the other author was thinking, and sometimes you get answers later. The book is written very personally even though there are two people writing it, even though they are a couple. They gain an understanding of the foods they eat, meet the growers and the fishermen. They discover sources for foods they thought they'd have to go without. You too can learn how to can tomatoes, make jam, and make a root cellar on your apartment balcony. In the end Plenty, like any travel log that ends hapilly makes you want to do what they did. And eating locally shouldn't be that hard right?

Björn Ischi bjoernischi — Who would have thought a junkie drag queen would end up a buddhist monk? A great biography that also details the beginnings of "engaged buddhism" in the U.S. (Has a wonderful phot inset as well).
