This is a pretty good book. I'd call it a Chinese fairy tale, but there are no fairies. There's jade, an emperor, a dragon, and people who get caught up in events bigger than they are. It's incredibly well-told and an interesting story. I can't tell if it's the start of a series or not. The book doesn't say specifically, but events are left open at the end for more story to be told. The cover claims that this is an "epic", but at less than 400 pages, I don't think it can fall into that group. All in all, this is one that's worth reading.

A sweet book that is just heartwarming for animal lovers everywhere.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book (and indeed this whole trilogy). Sawyer tells a gripping story while speculating on the ramifications of a "webmind" arising from the inner workings of the Internet. The immediate reaction of officials (this must be evil) is all too realistic; the theological and political musings are provocative; the story is a fun ride through it all. I will most definitely read more Sawyer. (I hear his next book grapples with memory, as he's been reading Moonwalking with Einstein...can't wait!)

I'm curious to hear what you think of this one Gijon. It was a very quick read...perfect for spring break (esp. since I was in the DR!)
To be honest I did not finish it. It was very depressing and I just was not in the mood for that type of story-it might have gotten better, but I did not stick around to find out.

Mary Roach's Spook is an enjoyable, more or less skeptical, delving into the question of whether consciousness persists after the death of the body. She surveys a variety of evidence, including reincarnation, seances and mediums, electronic voice phenomenon, ghost stories and near death experiences. The book's interviews with researchers and first-person accounts of the research process give it a personal touch. Duncan MacDougall's experiments in weighing the soul are considered, as are the Society for Psychical Research's early days and current NDE researchers. Of special interest to me were theories about some EVP being the result of ionospheric tunneling and the theory that seeing ghosts may be caused by infrasound's effect on the eye ball. Another interesting line of research involved how G-force blackouts produce a bird's eye "out of body" experience similar to the NDE experience. Roach mostly talks with those who believe in life after death, then consults skeptics for naturalistic explanations. Her approach is generally skeptical although conscientiously open-minded. She steers clear of religion, except for some biographical notes in the introduction and comments about hellish near death experiences. Her snarky style makes for fun reading most of the time, but gets to be a bit much at times. As do the sentence fragments. However, overall the book is a fun and fascinating look at attempts to prove the existence of life after death.

Good summary of research into the brains capacity to change even when you are an old fart. Some interesting supporting research into the controversial idea that the mind can act on the brain. Descartes is frowning. James is smiling.

For those of you who haven't discovered William Bee--run out today and see if you can find his book. Start with Beware The Frog and move on from there--after you read Beware the Frog, you'll be a fan. Last week, the kids where I do storytime were stuck inside all day because it was raining. By the time I got them at 10:00 am, they were running up and down the walls, cynical and totally unable to focus. I tried Lois Lenski's train book (I was going with the train theme), made it two pages in, and all of them had lost steam (literally) with the book. Then unsuccessfully tried "little Red caboose" the song-which went over like an anvil. I was desperate, so pulled out "and The Train Goes" thinking, 1/2 an hour is a really long time to be in storytime...and, much to my surprise, the kids instantly became engaged with the story, and even the really cynical kids in the group itching to get to middle school (they're pre-k), couldn't help but make the "chufferty-puff, chufferty-puff" noises that William Bee puts in the story. It was like a completely different group of kids from moments before--to be truthful it creeped me out a little in a children of the corn sort of way. This book totally saved the day--and it's good for toddlers and preschoolers. We all love a good parrot at the end of the book too (oh, sorry about the spoiler-but you'll just have to read it to find out how William Bee fits a parrot into a book about trains). All I have to say is-do not go to a train storytime without this one...
