'Our god is that which is left when all gods have been listed and marked. No, not him, not him [...] I looked around for the quickest way to escape from this square, pressed my bouquet closer to me, and took to my heels. What point would there have seemed to be in living if there had not been these flowers ?'

Abysmal. I wasn't nearly as swept away by Water for Elephants as most were, but I decided to give Ms Gruen's next novel a spin. It was simply unreadable. Ten pages in, I put it in the "return to the library immediately" pile.

The weres are getting shot! Save them Sookie! I have read this before but the new season is starting on HBO, and I wanted to get a re-fresher as to what all was going to happen. I remember the first time I read it, I didn't like it as much as the book before this one (Dead to the World). I remember thinking "oh come on, where's Sookie and Eric!" lol But this time around I actually really liked it. I love Sookie and all the characters so much. Charlaine Harris has said she's always known who Sookie will end up with and when I read the book this time it makes me wonder if it's Quinn. Claud and Claudine exchanged a look of approval about the tiger shifter. I love all the super natural happenings in Bon Temps. Only one complaint, where did the sex go?? Come on Ms. Harris, we want the series to last on HBO as long as the books have! :) I sure will be sad to see the series come to an end.

The stories in this collection showcase Du Maurier's skill, highlighting her exquisite plotting and her impressive range. Although her more Gothic tendencies are often evident, she creates many varied atmospheric worlds from the cold damp alleys of Venice to the salt air of Cornwall. Creepy, dark and utterly compelling, these stories stayed with me for days. Can I just say that I will read anything that New York Review of Books reissues? Anything. I have yet to be let down.

J. M. Coetzee's pseudo-novel, "Diary of a Bad Year," is almost, but not really, once you accept his concretismo terms of writing, irritating to read. He sections off each page into three vantage points of view by the three main characters. The first section on the pages is the typed manuscript of the author's, (thinly disguised as Coetzee, himself), "Strong Opinions," comprising all subjects from "01. -On the Origins of the State," through "24. -On Dostoevsky." The second section on the pages is the voice of the erotic, yet compassionate, downstairs neighbor, a Filipina woman named Anya, whom the aging author hires to type his manuscript. The third section on each page concentrates on the relationship Anya has with her live-in lover, Alan, who gradually and predictably becomes jealously obsessed with Anya's daily meetings with the famous, old author upstairs. Alan tries unsuccessfully to engage Anya in a plot to steal the old man's money. Anya refuses to accomodate Alan's avaricious greed and leaves him, once the manuscript is finished. She winds up quite liberated after the experience of being honored by the old author's attentions and his literary works over the period of time she works for him. Alan, by contrast, remains full of sour grapes, and can only find fault with the author's work on every envious level imaginable. It took me awhile to enjoy the book. After all, I had just read the epic masterpiece by Roberto Bolano, "2666," and had to adjust my expectations to the different, more insular and almost parable-like work of Coetzee in the "Diary of a Bad Year." The three-tiered arrangement of the novel is both clever and poignant, making clear the differences among face-to-face communications, the exchanges behind one's back, and the words that eventually wind up being published, in German no less, without the back stories.

Great - the same kind of stories that show up in News of the Weird, the Darwin Awards, the Stupidest Things Ever Said series, and so on. Some of these are so incredibly dumb that they wouldn't be believable in fiction. Drawn from all over American culture - the worlds of politics (of course), business, sports, entertainment, the law... example: "U.S. Marines headed for Iraq were boarding a chartered commercial airliner when they were stopped by security. They weren't allowed to board while carrying their knives. No problem... they relinquished their knives and boarded the plane - carrying their M16 rifles and M60 machine guns." Persuasive evidence that common sense, isn't.
Perplexing. A few thoughts on this account of a girl who converts to orthodox Judaism and then later decides to leave it for Christianity: 1 - I guess I don't know much about Christian theology but I find it strange that someone as clearly intelligent as this girl has no problem with the doctrine which to me seems so beyond human reason 2 - Reading about someone's mikva experience as she enters the jewish community followed by her baptism a few chapters later is nothing short of jarring 3 - It is ironic that in so many ways a convert has a hard time being fully accepted (she touches on this) and yet if he or she decides to leave it suddenly becomes so apparent how full fledged Jewish s/he is. 4 - The constant Jesus stuff is really hard to take 5 - The parallels between Christianity and Judaism as well as the non parallels are always of interest to me and it can make sense, paradoxically enough, that the same things can be attractive about both yet at the same time this is true of the ways in which they are different. I found it particularly interesting that she was encouraged to give up her passion - reading - for Lent, as this was considered a much more beautfiul sacrifice for Gd since it's something she truly loves. At first I found that repugnant - love for Gd is not manifest in sacrficing gifts He gives us! But then I was thinking how, lehavdil, we give up music for sefirah or take on extra things to show a sense of mourning or loss during Av or whatever, and it really is the same thing - all the more so if reading becomes idolotrous which even I (especially I?) can see. 6 - As an aside, while I'm taken by the premise and her turn of phrase, she can be really irritating at times and falls more under the second category of memoir writers (darn narcisist) than the more popular first (has a good story to tell). Anyway just had to get all that down.
