Alina Belousova belousova — Jesse is a god.

Brett Brett brettaz — The Dirty Parts of the Bible Author: Sammy Torode The Dirty Parts of the Bible is a coming of age story sent in post depression America and is centered around a young boy named Tobias. Tobias is the son a Baptist preacher from Michigan, and he only has two things on his mind God and girls. The adventure begins when Tobias’ father is blinded in a freak accident. This causes the preacher to send 20 year old Tobias across country to his hometown of Glen Rose, Texas to find money he buried in a dry well decades before. In his quest for the cash Tobias encounters prostitutes, hobos and even a demon and learns more about himself and his faith. Dirty Parts is like an adventure, comedy and love story all wrapped up in one smartly written and entertaining novel. It is a quick and easy read that keeps your attention from cover to cover and will even have you laughing out loud. I only discovered this book after I ordered Water for Elephants (haven’t read it yet, review still to come)and Amazon suggested I read it too. Since it was only .99 cents, (I‘m not gonna lie the title peeked my interest a little) I decided to get it and it has become one of my all time favorite books. I definitely recommend giving it a try. :)

Guilherme Casagrandi guilhermecasagrandi — This is an amazing story of survival. The story itself is incredible, but it is the detail with which it's told--including many excerpts from journals which were kept by several of the survivors--that makes it special. Hats off to Albert Lansing for telling a very balanced, well-paced, consistent tale. Upon reflection, I imagine his task of determining what *not* to include was his greatest challenge. He chose well. I will take away two things from this book: 1.) Disposition is everything. Yes, these men were highly skilled in their various fields, but the trait they shared almost to a person was optimism. Lansing mentions that Shackleton chose these men based mostly on gut instinct. I believe he chose one skilled person over another because he knew on some level that they were the upbeat sort. His ability to choose a great team was key to their survival. 2.) Men are hard core. One could easily argue that the expedition was absolutely foolhardy to begin with and that you would not find a similarly large group of women taking it on for that fact alone. However, I simply couldn't help wondering how the same journey composed of an all-women team would have gone. I can't say that a team of similarly skilled women could not do it. But I am in awe of these men and have to tip my hat to the gender in general for their historic propensity to take on and survive grueling expeditions born of an irrepressible desire for exploration.
