This guy was in Microsoft, got really rich, and quit. But he shouldn't write a book on memetics just because he's rich and bored.

This was a very good read. I just love the way this author puts things together. One can learn more about the horse training and all the things that go into the racing of a horse. It is unreal the amount of work it takes. The story is a good one and I like the characters in the book as well. One can really see the personality and the compassion of each person or the lack of. I can't wait for the next book by this author.

In Prison, George discovered love and reclaimed his humanity. He met Nkrumah, Mao, Lenin but at the core of this book is the author's love for his brother, Jonathan-the man-child.

Loved this. Thanks to Connie for her Goodreads review, because I would never have picked it up otherwise. Ridiculously good writing about growing up, love, the Second World War, loss, travel, and food, etc. and nice loose approach to memoir. Agree with Connie that some of the early chapters are particularly lovely. On being alone with his daughters for a car trip without their mother, her father "saw us for the first time as two little brown humans who were fun." There's an incredible chapter about oysters and the all-girls' boarding school Christmas dance which I've read about three times. And a charming description of lettuce, cream cheese and anchovy, and ginger ale orgies that she, her cousin, and her cousin's roommate indulged in at their faraway Illinois college in 1927-1928: "We would lock the door, and mix the cheese and anchovy together and open the ginger ale. Then we would toast ourselves solemnly in our toothbrush mugs, loosen the belts on our woolen bathrobes, and tear into that crisp cool delightful lettuce like three starved rabbits. Now and then one or another of us would get up, go to a window and open it, bare her little breasts to the cold sweep of air, and intone dramatically, "Pneu-mo-o-o-onia!" Then we would all burst into completely helpless giggles, until we had laughed enough to hold a little more lettuce." It occurs to me that this is not so different from some of my own college experiences.

I like Henry James, but The Turn of the Screw was just so overwrought. At the end I was like, is that all?

I know, I know, the authors clearly state at the beginning of this book, that there will be no underlying theme to the book. Even knowing that, it still drove me crazy that it just didn't all fit together or have a flow. The authors take a look at everything: sumo wrestling, teachers cheating on standardized tests, real estate agents, the link between abortion and the crime rate, and if the name you give your child affects their quality of life. Interesting stuff, indeed, but I guess I'm just a lover of a beginning, middle, and end. This book does provide interesting tidbits to tuck away in your mind to share at parties or with your coworkers at lunch.

Maxine, 4, loves this book. I do too. It's a simple story of a boy who rescues a pigeon, But it's told with such poetic minimalism, and I love the illustrations, which are a mix of panels/small illustrations and full pages. The area in which the bird flies into the side of a glass building looks like the World Trade Center neighborhood. I don't know if it's supposed to, but to me it sure does. And a TV and newspaper in a couple of the illustrations show images of war. It's all kinda sad and resonant for this grownup, anyway. There's so much to look at in the spread of busy people striding around the fallen bird, and in a single-page picture of Will's living room. I also like that there's no grateful pigeon scene at the end. The bird just flies away without looking back.

I haven't read this since elementary school (I haven't seen it since then, either, because it's out of print), but I think I read it enough then to last me a lifetime since I checked it out from the school library about every other month. I can still remember the drawings of a caterpillar Emma made in the first chapter, smudging a blade of grass on them to make the caterpillar green. It was because of this book that my favorite color was purple, that I bought a copy of Dear Theo, and that I tried to paint my own version of Starry Night with a toothbrush.
As the series winds down this book starts out slow and we see Stephanie making some changes - major changes. It appears as though she is starting to become more responsible. This was not one of my favorites of the series but it was a nice - mellow - read. I'm hoping book 12 provides a little more action and of course in my opinion I would like to see Stephanie move closer to Ranger. Someone has to tame that bad boy !!!
