The story of Bella and Edward continues...and I am suck in. I realize that these are books for young adults, but I find them so intriguing. I will admit that the storyline is somewhat predictible and the writing is a little less than elloquent, but I still love it. I cheer for Bella and Edward and always want them to be together. I can't wait to read the next book.

Arturo Escobar’s book Encountering Development is one of the foundational works of post-development studies. His research calls into question development as an institution, as an ordering system, and as a tool of capitalism and western hegemony. Instead of an objective science, Escobar--building on the traditions of Edward Said, Michel Foucault, and James Ferguson--argues that instead we should think of development as a powerful discourse of power and control. Within this discursive system, Escobar argues “development” dictates what can be thought and not thought. Escobar’s aim, then, is to hold up development itself as an object of study. Citing Donna Haraway, Escobar writes, “To treat science as narrative is not to be dismissive. On the contrary, it is to treat it in the most serious way, without succumbing to its mystification as “the truth”” (p. 19-20). In this way, Escobar is also carrying on the tradition of questioning the strategic alliances of knowledge and power. In the Saidian tradition (also Foucault), the Third World is a site of intervention for power of knowledge, a field in which to work, and a place where the other is reproduced in order to reaffirm hegemonic identity (in this case, Western dominance and the ethos of the market). As Escobar says, almost by fiat, two-thirds of the world’s people were transformed into poor; the concept of the poor was created so that it could be solved with the solutions already on hand (p. 13). Though the project might change, the essential nature of the solution remains the same. The expertise remains the same, and the solutions remain divorced from the local nature of the problem. As Batterbury and Fernando (2004) write on frequent criticisms of Escobar, the discourse of development is far from the essentialist bureaucratese that Escobar depicts it as. In addition, analysis that emphasizes politics and power miss much of the problems of livelihood and production that are real and not simply constructed features of the developing world (p. 116-117). This book will remain a controversial classic for everyone interested in development, both those critical of development and those hoping to become practitioners.

I bought this off itunes and was bummed to know there was a prequel that I didn't read first. But it was easy to catch on to the characters and what-not w/out reading the first one. It was a cool little murder-mystery and I really liked it

I really wanted to love this book, as everyone else apparently did. But I just couldn't. I found it uneventful and distant.

Amazing. Unbelievable. After reading the book I'm not sure I could ever watch the movie.

This was a good follow up to Changes. It also follows Butchers writing style of a action, reflection, action and action. Changes was all action. Ghost story has action, but it mostly a reflection on Dresden's actions and their consequences. We also have a little more of Harry's past fleshed out. The resolution of who killed Harry is not that big of a shock, but the ending is. This book leads nicely into a new direction for Harry and the Dresden universe. I can not even begin to guess what Harry and his presence in the Winter court will cause. I do know that that chaos will be fun to read. This is not a stand alone book. It is a true sequel to Changes. All the other books in the Dresden Files can be read as a stand alone. Changes and Ghost Story are really one continuous story.

Time to restock my house with fiction. All I have are craft books lying around so I am picking up things in the house I've had forever and never read. Oh, this book was ok. I like books that are told through multiple perspectives, but ultimately I never really engaged with any of the characters. Did awaken my curiosity about Cuba however.

Finally finished this one, shortly after my birthday. I had meant to read it on my birthday, for obvious reasons, but I'm glad I didn't, since most of the stories are rather depressing (plus I had more exciting things to do than read). But I am glad I read it. The stories can be downers but are very good, some more than others, some simply wonderful. Almost all worthwhile and intriguing. Some aren't very Murakami, but then, he didn't write them, so that's to be expected. Overall, though, a worthwhile read. Great snapshots of human life.
