I really enjoyed this slightly historical romance, it has fun characters.
I liked this book very much. Made me almost wish I was autistic so I could understand animals better. I'm glad there are people like Temple. She's made a huge difference in the lives of animals most people don't like to think about; our food.

As a guy who is and likely will always be clueless about women, The Game sounded like it'd be worth a read. "Strauss, an average-looking nerdy writer who can pass for gay with ease, learns how to become the world's greatest pickup artist" my cousin told me. "And it's based on a true story." Uh...can I borrow that? The book discusses how Strauss learns about different strategies from different Master Pickup Artists and what kind of guys he met at these seminars. The more I read, the more the book made me kind of uneasy. The way they're described, a lot of these pickup gurus came across as (Surprise!) sleazy; several of the tactics employed can only be classified as manipulation. Strauss gives the impression that he was bothered by some of these tactics and expresses his discomfort with the ever-growing number of pickup artist wannabes who only seemed to be in it because they enjoyed the power that came with controlling other people. Yeah, those guys are sick, you know, as opposed to Strauss's own far more noble goal of banging the shit out of as many women as his genitals will allow. But it wasn't ALL bad: proper grooming, regular exercise, confidence-building, and getting over approach anxiety are all good things. So I may not like a lot of people in The Game--or their creepy formulas for human interaction--but it's is one of the few books I read non-stop and finished in a day, stunned to see it was dark outside when I was done. That has to count for something.

My 8-year-old son LOVED these books. We have a competition going - he's going to see if he can read/write the 4th book before I read the first three in the series. He told me they are "boy funny." Now I know what that means! Update - he took the books back from me so that he could reread them :-)
Great non-fiction starts with a question that the author seeks to answer or understand. Pollan starts his book with a great question. He was in his garden one spring day, planting tomatoes. As he watched the bees pollinating his fruit trees, he began to wonder who was in control of the bee-tree relationship. The bee thinks it's in control, but the tree manipulates the bee to pollinate it. Then, Pollan looks down at his tomatoes and says, wait a minute. Am I in control or just being manipulated by these tomatoes so they propagate? And that's the botany of desire. What human desires have changed plants? Pollan has 4 chapters: the desire for beauty, about tulips; the desire for sweetness, about apples (you'll never think of Johnny Appleseed the same); the desire for intoxication, about marajuana; and the desire for control, about potatoes. You'll never look at plants the same.
1952 Caldecott Medal Winner I have no idea what medium the illustrator used for this--it looks very different from the previous Caldecott winners. Maybe that's why it won. Normally I don't like abstract illustrations as much, but I did like these--very striking pictures in black, white, red, and gold. A cute story about some dogs who go around asking various people to help them figure out which of them owns a bone that they found. In the end, a bigger dog tries to trick them and steals their bone, but they take him down together and... learn the value of friendship through violence? lol. Anyway, it was pretty cool, but not extraordinary.

1975 Caldecott Medal Winner Beautiful illustrations in warm colors. A boy is conceived by the Sun and when he's older, the Arrow Maker turns him into an arrow so that he can go find his father. Interesting tale, but pretty trippy--the Kiva of Lightning and the rainbow colors at the end reminded me of Katamari Damacy.

Fascinating look at the case of Rob Marshall and the murder of his wife Maria in 1984. Joe McGinniss not only profiles the Marshalls and their three sons, but also their town of Toms River, NJ and its eclectic cast of characters. This was a heartbreaking, suspenseful read full of unexpected twists. Excellent true crime writing from the author of Fatal Vision.
