An extraordinary book, filled with insights into the nature of pacifism, liberalism, war, military, bureaucracy, and civil disobedience. The least successful part of the "novel" is the meta-fictional construct. I'm still not entirely sold on the "history as novel" and "novel as history" concept. Mailer does become extremely self-indulgent and repetitive in passages; the book may have been stronger with 100 pages lopped off. As a novel, indeed, it suffers from a lack of action. Despite these flaws, an important and lyrical book. I look forward to reading more of Mailer's work.
Alain Robbe-Grillet, French new art yuppie, makes NYC the protagonist of this recursive, rhizomatic mystery novel about a murder and orange triangles. After the first chapter, you get the style, and the only reasons I can imagine to read on are boredom and masochism. Either Grillet has a vacuous literary style, or the translation I read was perpetrated by a technical writer with a terminal case of the Bartlebies (and don't tell me that that's a style in itself). Probably a more accessible and less time-wasting way to get a sense of Grillet's style (and prose, since it's narrated throughout) is his film "Last Year at Marienbad" (1961).

Just not my cup of tea
Book Review: Queen Bees and Wannabes by Rosalind Wiseman She is a slut. She is trying too hard. What is she wearing? He is desperate for attention. He is so dumb. Ugh. These phrases are all too common in the teen world. Between the ages of twelve and eighteen years, teenagers’ worse critics are themselves—along with the other three hundred or so students that go to their school. Rosalind Wiseman’s Queen Bees and Wannabes is a nonfiction book that guides parents and teens alike through the obstacles of the adolescent world. Wiseman is an internationally renowned expert on children, teens, parents, bullying, and social justice. Her knowledge and expertise evidently comes through the story with the critical thinking she expresses on the subject. The story primarily focuses on girls, cliques, and social status. Wiseman explains that these three things are all intertwined. What girls say and what they do can all be traced back to these three things. Wiseman makes undeniable connections and fosters deep discussion that compels me to agree with her thesis. Girls deeply want to fit in. Being considered “out” or “not fitting in” can mean several things according to the book. Girls who are not popular, who have a negative reputation, who do not fit a preconceived image, or who are just simply different can earn them the title of being “out”. Attempting to fit in or increasing your social status is the biggest theme that is presents in this book. My reaction right off the bat was that the stuff that Wiseman was describing is quite true. “Most girls are obsessed about their looks…” (76). This was one of the many quotes I found myself nodding my head in agreement. Girls are the most self-conscious beings in the world. Many of us constantly look and compare ourselves to other girls. It is no secret us girls have many insecurities. My nose is too big. My thighs are too fat. My skin is so terrible. There is always something we do not like about ourselves. This is quite true for everyone as a matter of fact. No surprise in that. What does strike me though, is how something as simple or trivial as fitting in means so much to us in our adolescent years. It may be true that this desire may dim down over the years, but in middle school to high school, it is the hot topic. Wiseman does a great job interweaving and expressing the teenage angst in this. Throughout the book she lays out quotes from real girls and boys that have taken in her Empower classes. “’I should be what other people want me to be. I should act how they want me to act or else I won’t have any friends. Jane, 18’” (127). As a side note, Empower classes are essentially where Wiseman discusses the topics she has in this book to girls and boys ranging from middle to high school. With all this talk about teenage girls and their antics, Wiseman does a good job of not forgetting the parents in this situation. At the end of every chapter the author outlines a What Can You Do section where she gives advice to parents on how to react, handle, and deal with the situation or issue their daughter has. This was quite an effective way to include the parents. It makes readers know that girls do not have to deal with the things they are dealing with by themselves; they will always have someone to talk to no matter what. All in all Wiseman does a fantastic job explaining the issue of fitting in which is the predominate theme she outlines throughout the book. The tactics she uses were effective in the sense that it was organized, it provided real world examples, and it made sure to include everyone. While this was a nonfiction story, it was still interesting to read. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in making sense of the complicated world of adolescence.

Awesome finale, really liked it, it came together well and ended really well. Still kind of open for another series someday.

This was excellent, it follows New Orleans residents from all over the city from the time of Hurricane Betsy through the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Each gives their own fascinating insight into what it means to be a resident of New Orleans. You become so emotionally invested in these people- by the end of the book, I was sobbing.

The recipes and instructions are simple, and wonderful. I wouldn't have thought to use things like taffy and melted caramel squares, nor that they'd come out so nicely; marzipan gets to be expensive. Love, love, looove this book!

This reminded me of reading Ray Bradbury. The futuristic setting becomes very cautionary to readers. I liked the contrast of art, culture, religion were traded for predictable, manageable "happiness". You know, the ends justifying the means. But could they know happiness?
