Better than Twilight. Not as contrived. More realistic (well, as realistic as you can get when you're writing a novel about vampires I suppose...) At least the human characters ring true, and the vampires aren't "perfect" as they seem to be in Twilight.

The best of the series to date!
This is a really good book. Dr. Sherman explains why we sometimes react to things without actually thinking about them or making a conscious choice as to how to react. She has included quite a few exercises we can do to help us become more aware of our feelings. Some exercises are to help us keep from reacting automatically, so we can actually think about how we want to react first. The ones I have tried so far do seem to help in keeping calm. She says that becoming more mindful about our choices will enable us be more joyful in living. I think that is an excellent thing to strive for and I will be trying more of the exercises.
M really liking the progression of this series....I'm only upset that I have to Wait a whole year to find out what happens...

Though I wasn't as impressed with this novel as I was with the 'Dubliners' collection, I was drawn in towards the end by the building complexity of the text - Joyce is wonderful - I'll read it again.

George Orwell stole the plot and characters for 1984 from Zamyatin. It's basically the same book, only I think We is better, because it leaves more to the imagination, raises more interesting questions about human freedom, and abstracts the philosophical arguments behind its premises more effectively than 1984.
An interesting look at "post-feminist" culture, from the point of view of a second-wave feminist. Makes some excellent points about the logical flaws of a female culture of sex and exhibitionism claiming to be empowering, but assumes that the reader is aware of the state of women's rights in general in America. The problem with post-feminist rhetoric, as I see it, is that the people spouting it really don't realize that serious gender inequities persist, and so aren't understanding how their rhetoric and behavior perpetuate them. This book, while interesting and illuminating, doesn't ever kind of set out the base facts of existing misogyny and discrimination against women, and thereby ends up sort of preaching to the choir.

Nothing But Trouble After Midnight By Kimberly Blackadar is about a young girl and how she found the evil and the love in the world. Chloe Preston had a great life with an okay boyfriend, they left one another and then she fell in love and her life was perfect but then something dark came down on her and took away the happiness, joy and her love and she doesn’t know if she will ever get it back. I do recommend this book; it has an intriguing plot and a twist in the story. It shows the hardships of life and how there is good in everything.
difficult read - but essential from a political and social perspective. heard the author lecture at the library. he was so good that three couples created a book club using this book as the foundation for our political/history interests.

This book was pretty interesting to me because I usually don't read short stories. But all of these stories, even though they were different due to the plot, they all commented on the struggle of maintaining or balancing more than one culture that a person may be apart of. In this situation, the short stories presented the conflict of how the author Jhumpa Lahiri struggles with the clash of her Indian and American cultures. Overall, I thought the book was decent, it wasn't mind-blowing.
