Mara was in an accident with three of her friends, and she's the only one who survived, with hardly a scratch on her. Mara can't remember what happened, or why she would have been in that old building in the first place. To give Mara a fresh start, her family has moved from Rhode Island to Florida. As Mara begins to remember the accident, she starts to fear that she's the reason her friends are dead. Mara gets involved with a boy named Noah, who could help her make sense of everything. I didn't expect to like this. The blurb on the back gave me an immediate "eh" reaction. "Oh another supernaturally romance. Whatever." And when it started out and Noah was acting like a gigantic asshole and yet Mara was drawn to him, like you are in a supernatural romance, I felt like all my assumptions were confirmed. But then it got kind of good. The real reason I enjoyed this was Mara herself. I kind of loved her. She was incredibly snarky and funny and I loved it. Even when she's scared and frustrated and thinks quite possibly she's going crazy, she had a sense of humor that I really liked and appreciated. This made me even more annoyed though when she started falling for Noah, who was acting like a total jerk. You're so much better than that Mara! But then we did actually get to know more about Noah and that made it a bit better, although still, he didn't have to act like an asshole.

I am having a hard time with this book. I am not religious in the least and this book is about a very spiritual woman who is on a quest to find "god". I just cannot relate to this concept in any way. The writing is somewhat simplistic and feels like eating candy. However it is enjoyable to read when she is not talking about god and her descriptions are very vivid. I have not formed a complete opinion on this book yet.

It is an interesting take on the Kama Sutra. Deepak does an excellent introduction where he explains the Kama Sutra is a 'how to' on pleasure for all five of the senses. He describes the ancient Indian perspective that pleasure and delight of the senses is s sacred and significant experience for humans, not something to be denied or to be shameful of. He calls Kama Sutra "an anecdote to shame" because the Kama Sutra celebrates our carnality without judging or discouraging it. Deepak links sex to spirituality and fulfillment, warns of the Western view of sex as shameful sacrilege in that, "Shame makes you feel that you are not good enough and never can be. It’s the last part that is so deadly to happiness.” The book does get into more erotic language, and of course poses, but nevertheless provides a very warm and encouraging space to ponder the connections between love, sex and spirituality.

As the title would suggest, this is a collection of sci-fi takes on the Great Detective. As with any anthology, the stories varied in quality—there was, for example, an interesting story about a time traveling Moriarty and an intriguing tale about a Holmes who may (or may not) have succumbed to senility. Mostly, though, there wasn't enough Sherlock Holmes in a collection that was nominally all about him! Instead there were stories about an alien race that has modeled itself after Victorian England (including a Holmes stand-in), or a highly-intelligent dog that solves crime, or a pair of children with the power to to evoke fictional creatures like the Hound of the Baskervilles to kill their parents. Okay, fine. But what I wanted was explorations of Holmes' (and Watson's) character, through the wonderful, slightly-distorted lens that sci-fi tropes can provide. I wanted to see Holmes' wonderful mind react to time travel or alien life; I want to see his and Watson's friendship stand the test of time and space, as promised by the title. But unfortunately, this collection remained sadly earthbound. Much better is Neil Gaiman's "A Study in Emerald" which, fortunately, is available online: [http://www.neilgaiman.com/exclusive/s...].

Aaaah! i can't review this right now. It might end up with two stars, it might end up with four. Need to give it some distance. OK. here is the review. warning - it's one of those subjective/personal ones. ######################################################################## At 54 years of age, I don’t have a particularly coherent narrative version of my own life. Some of the more obvious events stand out in relief, but there are discontinuities, there are periods where everything seems to flow together, and there are many, many gaps - weird lacunae of years at a time. Did I really do nothing but work my butt off between the ages of 35 and 45? Kind of seems that way now, more’s the pity. Oh wait, didn’t I co-author a book in there somewhere? I’m proud of that book, less so of the friendships I allowed to wither on the vine during the process of writing it. Any narrative cohesion that does exist in my version of my life story comes, I have no doubt, at the cost of accuracy, because it just represents the fact that I have been able to reshape those parts of the story mentally to fit some kind of narrative arc with which I am satisfied. I think we all tend to do this, which is why all memoirs need to be filed, once and for all, under the rubric of “fiction”, and why maybe, at long last, we need to stop beating up on the unfortunate James Frey. (And why I should probably give my bete noire, Frank McCourt, a pass for one of my least favorite memoirs, “Angela’s Ashes”; though my review of that book continues to annoy certain people so much that I am reluctant to change it at this point). Proust, and assorted neuroscientists, would have us believe that our sense of smell plays an important role in generating our memories. I can’t really argue the point, but in her latest work, “A Visit from the Goon Squad”, Jennifer Egan taps into something that seems to me to be far more powerful, and far more relevant to most of our experience, when she identifies music as playing a key role in shaping memory and the resulting versions of our lives that we carry with us. Certainly, in my case, this is true. Whatever my memories, real or invented, music has a way of keeping me honest. Sometimes the associations are of my own making. Thus, for instance, all I have to do is to hear the Al Stewart song “Year of the Cat” to be transported immediately (and viscerally) back to the winter of 1978-1979, where this particular album formed the background to my relentless onslaught on functional analysis and probability theory as I studied for my joint master’s in Math/Statistics at University College back in Cork. Or flash forward a few years to when I was grappling with my doctoral problem in Chapel Hill, both “breakthrough” ideas, those that formed the core of my eventual dissertation, came to me to the soundtrack of Jackson Browne’s “The Pretender”, which blared from the record player in my office in Smith Building at 3 in the morning. Sometimes the musical associations are laid by others. For instance, it occurs to me that - no, the period between 35 and 45 in my life was not completely given over to work. There was the disastrous 7-month interlude when I dated Marty, one of the most charming, but completely messed-up, drunks inhabiting the Bay Area during the spring and summer of 1998. The guy was mad, bad, and dangerous to know, and he had a complete thing for the music of Celine Dion. So that if I want to be transported back to the particular state of vulnerability and fury that characterized our entire relationship, all I need to do is put “The Power of Love” on the stereo, and it all comes flooding back. By the same token, if I want to remember my first unrequited crush (on that oh-so-cute music teacher in Gaelic camp when I was 15), the slow movement of Beethoven’s 7th (in my defense, I was 15, it all seemed very tragic to me at the time) will take me back there every time. But it’s the cues we are unaware of that are perhaps the most powerful in keeping our memories honest. How else to explain my recent experience, driving back up 280 to SF a few days before leaving for Paris? With no warning, the radio station began to play the song “Driver’s Seat” by Sniff ‘n the Tears, and the effect on me was so profound I had to pull to the side of the road until the song ended, after which it still took me several minutes to recover. Because I was no longer on 280 or anywhere near it. I was in my room in Craig Dorm in Chapel Hill, in September 1979, newly arrived the previous week from Cork, feeling that mix of trepidation, promise, fear, and possibility that characterized that whole first year in Chapel Hill. Only these musical cues, lodged in our psyches like so many time bombs, have the visceral power to take us back in quite the same way. What does any of this have to do with Jennifer Egan’s book? Everything, really. Because she captures that power utterly and completely, with something approaching genius. Which may be why this book left me flummoxed at the outset. But which is also why I can give it no fewer than 5 stars. Ms Egan, you rock!

This book started me reading Chapman. I was drawn to the title. The family thinks there son has died in another country and does not wont there grandchildren taken away so they find a girl and on paper marry the two. But the sun is not dead and comes home to find that he is married. not very happy about it he kicks her out after he has slept with her. His family comes home and finds out what he did and is mad with him, and his father makes him go out and find her. The rest of the book is how he comes to love her. I like the family and it continues on to another book that is equally good.
