** spoiler alert ** I finished this book a couple of days ago and I still haven't accepted what happened to Emma. I just can't believe it but I get the message. Don't waste time and just go for it because you never know what's around the corner.

I started reading this book, but I came to the conclusion that I needed to become for familiar with the Bible itself before continuing.

I love these compendiums of short stories - it's an excellent opportunity to be exposed to writers that you otherwise would not have heard of. Pick any genre you like - I like mystery and travel - and take down little bite size pieces of reading. The travel stories, especially, can be little epics of adventure of which you can tackle several in the course of a quiet evening. I picked this one up because Tim Cahill, the editor, is one of my favorite travel writers. Previous installments have ended up being ecological morality tales and rather depressing; Cahill injects some much needed humor with his selections. Although it must be said that the breezy treatment - most of the articles are pulled from magazines like GQ or The New Yorker, so that you might get the same experience by just reading those magazines. All in all - a lot of fun.

Might be the best one in the series. Noir films, intrigue, beautiful people with black hearts and secrets, old school language use that cracks me up every time, and sexy dead ghost with broad shoulders and whiskey flavored kisses. I think this book reminded me even a bit of Donna Andrews style of writing, with the good old village town full of funny people with funny hobbies. In some ways Penelope is a girl close to my heart with a fondness for books and a little boy full of mischief.

This book was a mixed bag. Most of the characters were irritating either because they were obnoxious or ridiculously naive. The Elder was the exception, but he dies in the middle of the book. The story was quite melodramatic, which I found unappealing. But it gets 3 starts because of the bits about the Elder which I loved and if just for those sections it would get 5 stars. It really helped me through this difficult period of trying to finish my dissertation. For instance: honest by nature, demanding the truth, seeking it and believing in it, and in that belief demanding immediate participation in it with all the strength of his soul; demanding an immediate deed, with an unfailing desire to sacrifice everything for this deed, even life. Although, unfortunately, these young men do not understand that the sacrifice of life is, perhaps, the easiest of all sacrifices in many cases, while to sacrifice, for example, five or six years of their ebulliently youthful life to hard, difficult studies, to learning, in order to increase tenfold their strength to serve the very truth and the very deed that they loved and set out toe accomplish - such sacrifice is quite often almost beyond the strength of many of them. I referred back to this quote many times in these past weeks. Thank you Dostoevsky.

Passed the time, nothing more. I wouldn't exactly consider this as a great life changing romance novel. Basic contemporary light fluff.

Really interesting book, about an English sailor who was shipwrecked in Japan and rose to become an advisor to the Shogun.

Trollope never could seem to get Ireland, where he had started his writing career, out of his head. I don't think his Irish novels were ever very well received, but he just couldn't resist setting every sixth novel or so in Ireland. So here we are in Ireland again. The English protagonist, Fred, is stationed with his calvary regiment in Ireland. Fred is torn between his duty to marry in his class (and of course to marry a Protestant) and his attraction to Kate, a Irish Catholic girl of no background to speak of. (Kate's father is a swindler who has fled to France to avoid prosecution.) A drastic complication is added when Kate becomes pregnant. What will Fred do? And, more ominously, what will Kate's mother do to Fred if Fred doesn't do what she thinks he must do? Not very good Trollope, but like a lot of not very good Trollope, it's short.

Earlier I happen upon 'Ten Faces of Innovation' on Levenger's website. My local library didn't have this particular book yet. So I decided to check out it's predecessor: 'The Art of Innovation'. This book open my eyes to things, my work place, my everyday experience and interactions with products. I read this yesterday and Saturday and couldn't put it down. I took lots of notes on my CircaToma notebook of course and began making lists of things that bug me. IDEO call it a 'Bug List'. I called my brother Andy and talk to him about it because he has read this and is reading 'Ten Faces of Innovation'. I remember interviewing at an Architectural firm in Portland. Their studio practice imitated IDEO. I have a whole new respect for design. What we do with products, hacking it and modifying it are our ways of influencing and adjusting the product to our needs. I wasn't aware that what we were doing is quick prototyping. Now I look at Judy of the Wood's, NayNay, Mlle_Bleue, Shris, ArtisticSara,R.Rassemusen, Chet, and many other's work (and even my own) with new eyes. I see DIY communities are like Hot teams working together to strife for better products. The book is entertaining and the way Thomas and His co author wrote put complex projects into readable terms. It made me think back to reading about Jason's story of how he started his business. He was looking with his eyes observe his friend with a problem in organization. What can be done better? His quick thinking and prototyping lead to a new line of product that are useful. IDEO encourages looking across the sea for ideas. Jason has done that as well as others. I used to work with the father of the founder of Oregon Chai. He told me a story of how his daughter's travel to India lead to her idea of making the India version of tea call Chai in their home kitchen. It was very popular drink among friends. She shopped it around to differnt grocery stores. Eventually the demand for it out grew the kitchen area. Her father, the architect, built her the building for the start of her company.
