Somewhat jarring if you've walked down Great Jones Street in the past few years, but whatever. Could somebody please record an album of songs derived from Bucky Wunderlick's lyrics? Is that so much to ask?

Thought I might as well carry on the series. Enjoyed this as much as the first and looking forward to the second. Isabel is so funny and I kind of see myself in her in that I picture her having long conversations with herself about nothing in particular.....

The info was very interesting, and pieced in easily digestible chuncks. No information overload, it got right to the facts. This book was good. However, it only focused on the years 1860-1900. Would have liked to see more Pre-Civil was anecdotes. If anyone ever talks about the good old days, think twice. They were terrible!

I loved this one. I enjoy the hard-boiled detective genre though. There's a movie based on it too, Murder My Sweet. They are both great. I have several Raymond Chandler books lined up ready to read when I am craving my next hard boiled book!

This book is like a big family convention, where all the folks talk at the same time, conveniently ignoring the topic and each other, usually the one with the largest lung capacity wins. Where all the jokes have been made so many times they cease to be funny unless you are really drunk whilst listening to them, or you are so goodhearted you find yourself chuckling to them just out of habit. You still harbor some warmth towards all the familiar people, because you know them so well and there are good memories you associate with them too. And you sigh contently when it is finally over and done with. It feels like a last book in the series, and as i am big mushy goof for happy endings i appreciate that it was given to me.

Swedish title: "De i Utkanten Alskande", so far not available in English. Book about loneliness and about yearning for connection with other human being, told in such a simple, yet beatiful language that it simply brakes your heart. This is a book that will stay with you for a long time, and make you appreciate what you have. The lonely woman-thief. The handsome street musician with crooked legs. Lonely transgender photographer, and more. Misfits, living on the edge of the society - these are the characters. They all want acceptance and love, friendship, they often feel unworthy of it. Nilsson understands very well how we, as society, often perceive others through their physique and push them away, when they do not fit the beauty standard. Our history and our bodies influence who we are. That's why Nilsson doesn't shy away from writing about physiological functions, but somehow this doesn't make it vulgar, simply human. Miscommunication,fear of rejection, withdrawal. It is so hard to tell someone that we love them, but terribly easy to yell hurtful words, when we angry. I really really hope someone is working right now on translating Nilsson's works into English. She has at least two more books that I know of, and I cannot wait to put my hands on them. I recommend this book with all my heart.

Gripping narrative meets thorough research in this true story about the world's fair in Chicago and a murderer who lived nearby, preyed on visitors, and killed at least nine people and possibly 50 or more. One small factoid: They built the Ferris wheel for the fair to compete with the Eiffel Tower, which had been contructed for the previous world's fair in Paris.

There seems to be a debate within other reviews that I've read of this book over different interpretations of the same thing. The more I read other people's opinions, the more it strikes me how there is such a difference between reading a book for its plot and reading it for a commentary on thematic devices that strike an opinion greater than the the superficial heppenings of the story. Rabbit Run appears to be one of those books that lose a lot of reasers in the simple story - most of the characters are unlikeable and there's little that's fantastical and ethereal in the story alone. However, what I believe John Updike is doing with this book is addressing the unique circumstance of the 50s American dream. This particular zone of interest heralds a population of men and women who fought so hard for their security and the general consensus throughout society was that the solid things in life were the most desirable (in the form of marriage, family, career, etc.). What Updike has done, along with many other authors of the time, is to focus on the downside to this apparently water-tight dream of security. Rabbit is a character experiencing a fairly banal chrisis of self identity and purpose - as a character in a book, he's not all that likeable and has a level of narcissistic turmoil that sits higher than acceptable. However there is a service done to Rabbit by the author as his own position in the world is fleshed out by those around him. Throughout the tale the perspective shifts to the others and Updike gives you a detailed glimpse at their own selfish and conflicted paths. This use of multiple perspectives offers up an amount of sympathy for Rabbit, despite his behaviour. At times there are profound comments on parts of humanity in general that suggest the themes go deeper than those of the plot alone. One of my favourites is when we learn about Ruth and her revelations on men: "The thing was, they wanted to be admired there. They really did want that. They weren't that ugly but they thought they were. That was the thing that surprised her in high school how ashamed they were really, how grateful they were if you just touched them there and how quick word got around that you would. What did they think, they were monsters?" This sort of sympathy for men's insecurities is rarely seen in stories of the time when if was supposed to be the dominance of man. Indeed, the idea of men seeing themselves as monsters and trying to prove to everyone else that they can live up to the standards set for them is one of the key points that this book illustrates. It's not only confined to men, as the women in the story are given the same sympathy and criticism throughout. While Rabbit Run could be read as a tale about selfish and indulgent characters who behave terribly and are not easily liked, it delivers so much more and relects many of the ways that society creates the fools we vindicate. Deviance is attacked to this day and these personal dramas that exist between us all prevail with growing force. If nothing else, this book sheds a little light on the other and allows us further understanding for a few facets of life that are often clouded with assumption and hope.
