This book is kinda awesome 'cause the author makes the book into two different settings then changes them into one, the plot was pretty clever so it was interesting to read

I liked how Gladwell challenged our traditional view of success. Through many examples, he was able to get me thinking about how success isn't just hard work (rags to riches-type stories). Unfortunately, it also bummed me out. As a teacher in one of the worst parts of the city, we teach our students that hard work does pay off and that success can come from working hard. With that, according to Gladwell, my students are screwed since they don't have all the foundation work laid out for them (right age, number of hours of experience, family backgrounds, daily interactions, connections, etc) to be successful. Many of the things Gladwell says opens my eyes to new possibilities and I agree with him, however, I still feel it's my job to fight and help my students succeed. And maybe I can be the connection/experience/interaction that allows my students to be Outliers. I liked his non-fiction story telling and have already ordered The Tipping Point and put it on my to-read list.

Holy crap. A couple of funny, light, technically-focused travel diary-type stories; and then Moby Dick. Redburn and White Jacket make great entrances into the world of sailing ships and Melville's eyes, ears, and particular sense of humor. I strongly recommend this edition, as it has good notes on the texts, a nice introduction to Melville and his life, and you can just read them continuously without having to pick up different books if you were interested in sitting down to read these three consecutively without stopping and wanted to conserve energy.

A fitting end to the Millennium trilogy and my favorite book in the series, without giving anything away, Hornet's Nest picks up exactly where The Girl Who Played With Fire left off. This can be a bit confusing since in the US we've had to a wait almost a full year for the final installment and it's tough to remember the events of the second book in detail. Once this book gets moving though, it's pretty tough to put it down. My main problem with all three books has been that there just isn't enough Salander time, but I've come to appreciate the fact that her character appears just enough to keep her interesting without detracting from the overall stories being told. Too much Salander would be a bad thing. I'd give this book 5 stars, but I'm finding it hard to figure Stieg Larsson out. He's obviously someone who is against violence towards women, but on the other hand, he has no problem exploiting his female characters by putting them through horrible scenes of torture, rape, etc. to write his stories. I'm guessing we'll never get to read what there is of book 4 (or is it book 5 as some have speculated?) that happens to be sitting on a computer in Sweden, held in legal turmoil, but again, I think Hornet's Nest (or Hornets' Nest if you're British apparently) serves as a great send off two amazing characters that will be sorely missed. I'm now eagerly awaiting the translation of the third Johan Theorin novel. What exactly are they putting in the water in Sweden that makes their crime fiction so darn good?
I liked the movie better but the book was worth the time. Michael Oher is a super cool guy.

Not his best work but makes you want to throw your favorite pair of jeans and some cowboy boots in a bag and hot the road.
The inscription in the copy I've borrowed from someone who bought it used and doesn't know the inscriptor or inscriptee: "St. Valentine's Day, 1996 Lovely, A Lovebook on a Loveday to a Lovegirl from a Loveboy! With lots of it, Punti" I am rarely stirred by love-books, but this one makes me ache (a confused ache, given the subject matter, of course, but then that's the point) -- (and when I say "the subject matter" you know what I mean, but the book's only partly about that. It is also about monstrous helplessness, and America, and (as Nabokov suggests in his afterword) the author's "love affair with the English language." And it's about the fact that it's not about a lot of things it ought to be, which are the most salient points, I think.) Parentheses.

sort of weakly and incompletely written, being there shines more in its diversions than in its plot. it's also probably one of those rare books that works better as a film, as the visual cues fill the textual blanks. that being said, chance is a pretty great character: serendipitous, simple-minded, yet measured, in the interest of saving his skin and securing a home (literally) among the elites, trapped in their business, who desperately want "someone to believe in." although i wasn't always sure the television-ish dialogue between the haute monde was completely intentional, i'll give kosinski's cleverness the benefit of the doubt.

This book imparted in me such a respect for surgeons and their work, far beyond anything I understood before reading this book. And I loved the setting - loved thinking about Ethiopia, the culture, the food. Such a wonderfully told story.
Indispensable for a thorough reading of Ulysses. This is a reference book, with entries arranged in order of their occurrence in the text. Originally compiled to help students in Gifford's own classes on Ulysses, it sets out to answer just about anything you might want to "look up" while reading Ulysses--which is a lot, and this is a big book. For example: you're reading the Lestrygonians episode, and you come across a mention of "lemon platt". What's that? Look it up in the Lestrygonians chapter of Ulysses Annotated, and you find: "Candy made of plaited sticks of lemon-flavored barley sugar." In the next line or so of Joyce's text you come across the mention of "a christian brother". What's that? It's right here: a paragraph on "a teaching brotherhood of Roman Catholic laymen, bound under temporary vows." In a similar way, Gifford goes into references to the Bible, to Irish history, to Greek mythology, to references to Blake, Yeats, Wagner, and many others, to identifying the specific Dublin individuals and businesses named in the text, as well as giving full verses of the many poems and songs alluded to by Joyce, and much else besides these things. This book is the result of someone's having done all the "looking up" that can be done with Ulysses, so you don't have to. It does not attempt to go into the meaning and symbolism of Ulysses very much; for that you need other works. But if you want to read Ulysses with anything more than a slight comprehension, you need this book--unless you already have an encyclopedic knowledge of 1904 Dublin and Ireland; Irish history, culture, and folklore; 19th-century poetry, fiction, opera, and popular music; the Bible; Homer's Odyssey; the life and works of Shakespeare; the works of Dante, Vico, Milton, Blake, Wilde, Swift, et al; the Catholic mass; Christian theology; Hinduism; and 17th-century English underworld cant. But if you don't have such knowledge, this book is for you.
