3 1/2 stars I thought it was very movie-ish. Still good but a little predictable in parts.

Incredible, beautiful memoir about a white mother who breaks the bonds of racism and hate in the 1960s. Her black children are witnesses to her strength. This book took my breath away.

I wasn't sure what to think of this book to start with -- it was a gift from a friend, by an author I had never heard of. I wasn't all that interested in Buddhism at the time, either. The book sat on my shelf for years, waiting to be read. Well, I finally got around to it, and it's actually quite good. Memoirs can be sort of hit or miss, but Chadwick manages to bring us along with us on his experience as an American living in Japan, for the good and the bad. His portrait of the country and its people seems balanced (speaking as someone who's never been there), and he doesn't ignore the problems of living in a foreign land, even one where you know the language. He treats just about everyone sympathetically in his writings, even when he's talking about the kinds of petty conflicts that he witnessed when he was living among the monks in Hogoji. Those sections are really some of the best in the book--it gets a little less compelling in the segments taking place later, when he and his fiancee are renting a house in Maruyama, near a temple but no longer subject to the constraints of monkish life. The prose is smooth and conversational, and the whole thing is a pretty light, pleasant read. If you, like me, have always been interested in living abroad in a very different culture but never been ballsy enough to actually do it, you'll probably enjoy this book.

Excellent book. Powerful. I have much respect for Malcolm X as result of reading it. And it helped put Huey Newton's biography in perspective.
Sometimes I wish Hemingway didn't write so simply. I did, however, still really enjoy this book as I found that it was almost an allegory for what I've been going through and I could really relate. Kudos to you, old man.
A space adventure set in the near future with a strong female protagonist. Though it is a decade olde, it includes many contemporary themes, including repercussions of the rise in conservatism and intolerance. I especially liked the idea of "evolved" humans and the nostalgic longing for raspberries. Imagine a world without them and you are in the zone in which this book takes place. Likely interesting only to science fiction fans, but a very good read for them.

This book ... started off strong, but I found myself liking it less and less as time and pages went by ...
Another solid novella from Connie Willis in which a well meaning and nerdy female teams up with an earnest, well meaning and nerdy male to solve a problem which involves them discussing some large body of media. Still quite good, despite the strong sense of Deja Vu that will affect a Willis fan. Haven't any of Connie's heroines ever heard of Craigslist? I guess it's a good thing they haven't...
