This is the first novel that made an impact on me in high school. The absurdity and the incompetence in Cat's Cradle are real and happening today. I remember reading at least half of the book with a raised eyebrow and an unbelieving smirk. And the ending doesn't disappoint. It's as distubingly ironic as it is left field.

Never has a book affected my personal mood as much as this one has. Though beautifully written, I seemed to feel eternally depressed, and eternally cold when this book was in my hands, or even on my mind. I highly reccommend it, but make sure you're in the right mind to handle it.

David Peace’s 1977: even more dark and brutal than 1974 January 3rd, 2011 Posted in 52 Books in one year challenge, Crime, Kelly, Mystery 1977From 1975 to 1981, the Yorkshire Ripper preyed upon women, murdering thirteen and injuring seven. While the majority of his victims were prostitutes, some were ‘ordinary’ women with regular jobs and lives. One murder victim was just sixteen years old. David Peace’s 1977 is a fictionalized account of the hunt for the real life serial killer. The novel follows two characters: a slightly corrupt cop, and a jaded journalist. Both characters are present in the first novel in the Red Riding Quartet, 1974, although this novel brings them into focus. Jack Whitehead, the journalist, is haunted by crimes he’s covered, and by the actions of his coworker Eddie from the first novel. Detective Sergeant Bob Fraser seemed like he was on the up-and-up in the first novel, so either the corruption of his fellow police officers has rubbed off on him, or he was always morally ambiguous. Both make questionable moral judgments throughout the novel, with surprising consequences. Like its predecessor, 1977 has unresolved plot threads that will hopefully be tied up in the final two books of Red Riding Quartet. On a side note, the real life Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe, is in Broadmoor psychiatric hospital and has challenged his life sentence in court: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/nov... Sutcliffe was caught 30 years ago, and the young journalist who “unmasked” Sutcliffe has written about the experience: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/artic...

....by a self-taught know-it-all. I like that! Good message about what you put into your body. Good eating plans and suggestions of organic brands to buy. They went overboard in trying to convince the reader to become a vegetarian by relating horrifying stories of slaughterhouses --- true and false. I would have appreciated them encouraging the reader to become vegetarian b/c of all the benefits, not by spending way too many pages trying to 'scare' or 'guilt' the reader into becoming a vegan.
Why did I wait so long to read Jane Eyre? It was amazing and has become one of my favorites!

This could be the book that finally does me in.
Another excellent Stross riff on the cold war-era and super beings, this one dark and intensely disturbing. To describe too much of the story would be to ruin the experience of having it unfold for you over the brief arc of this novella, but it was like no other science fiction (other than Stross) that I've read, despite some vague reminisences of Robert Charles Wilson's "Protocols of Consumption" and the creepy Twilight Zone feeling I was left with at the end (and it's an awesome ending).

I absolutly loved this book. Perfect for the science geek, The Disappearing Spoon has a perfect balance of chemistry and history about the periodic table and the elements. The Disappearing Spoon is a fun way to learn random facts about the elements, and explains why certain elements are used in different ways. The Disappearing Spoon also teaches the history of how elements were discovered.
if you ignore the wannabe cult that surrounds h.s.t. you'll find he was actually a good writer

Fascinating book! This book is part historic, part fiction, and part subjective recounting. Basically it provides a subjective (the author's point of view is apparent) history of the Mormans, through the final abolition of polygamous marriage in 1904. The history is told through a fairly close representation of portions of "Wife No. 19, or the story of a life in bondage" by Anna Eliza Smith; through a first person record of research on the life Anna Eliza Smith; through the fairly flip and not entirely integrated first person story of a "lost boy" who was excommunicated from the Saints. This last part is a fictionalized account of the current polygamous sect of the "Firsts," a group that separated from the Saints in 1904 when polyamy was disallowed. Meshes nicely with recent media coverage of current polygamous sects.
