I am having an identity crisis. I ended up liking The Scarecrow quite a lot, enough to give it four stars but it did bother me since I started out thinking that it was kind of sick in a fairly amateurish and trashy way depicting The Scarecrow spying on people in the office using hidden cameras including in the bathroom. Like reading soft porn for teenagers. But the bar is raised quickly (or I start to like the amateur perversions) and the book gets better and pulls me in. Pretty soon I have to stay up late to finish it because I can’t put it down. Why am I selecting this to read when there are so many first rate novels that I have never read? And of course all the nonfiction that has served me well enough for many years of holding fiction at arm’s length. I am especially sensitive at the moment since I am also reading Thirteen Ways of Looking at the Novel that puts good fiction on a pedestal. John Connelly might just be the fourteenth way. OK, so Connelly is the first crime writer I’ve tried out after several years of reading everything George Pelecanos has put out. So I am trying something different and you should expect a comparison here and there. I am tired of Pelecanos’ macho guy shtick. So why am I trying Connelly? Good question because he seems like he might be just like another macho guy protagonist writer. But let me give him a try along with a few women who write about gal protagonists. Jack McEvoy is a new Connelly character who first appeared in 1996 in The Poet. This is his second McEvoy book but I am reading it first. But already I see that McEvoy is different; he drinks red wine. Now, that is a surprise since I am used to the Pelecanos guys knocking back shots. Maybe Jack really will be of another stripe. Let’s not get too excited though. He does switch to whiskey when he decides to do some serious drinking to mourn the loss of his job. “Carver paced in the control room, watching over the front forty.” And pretty soon we will know that this book is fully into the electronic age. Here comes the jargon of sysops and computers and online newspapers. BTW, Pelecanos is not into electronics, partly because much of his action is in the era just before the proliferation of cell phones and computers. Pelecanos drug pushers use beepers. How 1980s. The paper with its electronic edition being constantly updates is the L.A. Times where Jack is about to be RIFed as the book begins. By god, Jack lives in Hollywood! I guess we are not in DC anymore. Kind of starts out like a tutorial on cop-shop newspaper reporting. Jack is training his replacement and we get to follow along. But then it’s the next chapter and we switch back to the control room with the Front Forty – network tower servers. The secretary is reading a Janet Evanovich novel. I wonder if Evanovich and Connolly know each other and whether she paid him to throw out her name in his book. Probably one hand washes the other kind of arrangement. One time I went to Nashville and after going to all the C&W tourist sites for a few days and seeing the same names over and over, I began to think everyone was really famous. I have a couple of Evanovich on my to-read shelf to check out one of these days. Maybe being a “#1 NY Times Bestselling Author” is a club for mystery writers. How many #1 best sellers can there be that I have never heard of? Ask me in a year. Ah, as always happens, the plot thickens. You remember Lisbeth Salander, right? The girl with the dragon tattoo. Well, among other things, she was a computer hacker who is part of a small network of extraordinarily skilled hackers. She could get into your computer lickety split and was known to electronically transfer your money into her account. Well, it turns out that The Scarecrow is also a very skilled hacker who, we find out almost immediately, is not a very nice guy. I guess I will have to read the first McEvoy book! I mean, I am experimenting with some new authors and I have to give them a chance. I just need to keep an eye on the ‘trash’ indicator.

Frazier's prose is beautiful. I'm not finished with it yet, because I left it at work on Thursday. If I'd remembered to bring it home, I'd be reading it now and not updating goodreads and myspace.

Phan Thanh Giản - Nỗi Đau Trăm Năm Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hoàng Lại Giang

I read somewhere that the beauty of reading is getting to experience something without having ever been there. That's exactly the way I felt about this book. I myself would never have gone through the trials that the author went through. Hallucigenic visions with Mescalito, talking lizards with sewed up eyes...that would be too much for me because I think life is fucked up enough without having to deal with "non-ordinary reality". But then again, peyote and "humito" aren't used for entertainment drug use. They are used systematically to create a "man of knowledge". This shows how one thing is viewed differently from different cultures. Some of the things Don Juan said coincided with the Tao Te Ching which I found amuzing. Maybe "truth" is the same everywhere but getting there is different. Hence, look for "...paths with a heart".

A crisp biopic of one of baseball's mythical giants. Nice to hear of a time when the sport wasn't embroiled in such skepticism of greatness.

I suggest just skip reading the book and watch the movie that's coming out. In fact, the movie can't be worse then the actual book. As someone who has been cheated on, and takes loyalty very seriously...Something Borrowed irritated me. The book is about a girl who is cheating with her best friend's fiance. Now, I understand that her best friend's a complete witch, but as a girl we all have one of those friends, and it doesn't give us the right to go taking what is not ours. The fact that there is little remorse within the book really irritated me. I know things are not black and white...but this book read like a harliquin romance to me.
