Full of gypsies, tramps, thieves, and various other colorful characters I'm sure Cher sang about, this book was fantastic. The Name of the Wind is one part Lord of the Rings, one part Harry Potter, one part Game of Thrones, and one part Oliver Twist; if you're a fan of hero stories, I'd highly recommend this. I've come to understand that Patrick Rothfuss is a bit of a fanboy, which definitely comes across in his writing. He knows exactly how to get you going. Very cool. I couldn't read it fast enough - I'm very happy the second installment came out this month!

I read this for a book discussion group, and I look forward to hearing what they thought of this book. I enjoyed the humorous anecdotes and a glimpse into this slice of life, but... (and maybe this was due to my having listened to an audio version) I found myself a bit irritated with an occassional tone of self-rightousness reflected in comments about how kids now-a-days have never experienced such-and-such or will never know how it feels to blah blah blah. I found this narrow outlook offensive and prejudiced. Certainly this person's experience is unique and valuable, but discounting the experiences of others in the process of telling ones story is not necessary.

Oh yes, Divine Healing is pretty big in my tradition. It is one of four cardinal doctrines, right up there with Salvation, The Baptism in the Spirit and the Second Coming of Christ. I fondly remember extended times of prayer on Sunday nights when I was little. I’d walk around helping my dad lay hands on people kneeling at the front pews, often my little hand on a polyester clad buttock. I don’t know how many were praying for healing but I remember the desperation with which these old saints prayed. The next big memory that comes to mind was a chapel service in college. There students crowding the altar, and I saw one big guy who had braces on both his knees. At once I felt slightly repulsed by him (he struck me as a lonely socially awkward soul like myself) and compelled to pray for him. I made my way to the altar behind him and placed a hand on the shoulder of one raised arm. I don’t remember how I prayed, only that I sensed that it was what God had wanted. The next day at chapel this same guy stood there on the platform giving testimony to a complete healing of his knees, bouncing up and down. I started to wonder if perhaps God had given me the gift of healing…. Oh it was small infant gift to be sure, but one I could perhaps fan into flame? Over the last few weeks I have been praying again with increased expectation, even keeping track of what happens. I have started to wonder, after I prayed nearly 20 times for healings and seeing nothing, if something is wrong with me. I wondered if I wasn’t holy enough, or if I was some how praying the wrong way, or if I was just kidding myself with this gift idea. This is where Jack Deere’s book hit home for me, especially chapter 12, Pursuing the Gifts with Diligence. “Almost as soon as I began to ask God to give me a healing ministry,” he writes, “I began to pray for sick people. Most of the sick people I prayed for at first did not get healed…. But there is no other way to grow in anything apart from constant practice and risking” (166). He goes on to give practical ways to practice. His cautions about motives give me appropriate soul searching to do while cutting the chi of arguments with which Satan has been plying me. The bulk of his book was a treatise against cessationism. I bristle against any theology or system of thought that defines itself by what it isn’t and what it is against so I have little sympathy with cessationism. And as I have never been positively influenced by either dispensational or cessasionist theology, I had no great battle with his augments. Instead I followed along with his journey, with morbid fascination, cringing at his background, and watching as he was irresistibly drawn to the moving of the Spirit today.

This book is intended as a prequel to Wuthering Heights, but it holds it's ground as a stand alone story. If you ever wonder how Heathcliff was as a child, this book creates a great picture of his early years and how he ended up at Wuthering Heights. I also loved that Tabby ended up working at the Brontes house and how she was the one that will tell the Bronte sisters scary stories. It was a quick read, although, since I'm a scaredy cat, I only read it during the day. And even then I had nightmares and weird dreams about what went on at Seldom House. A great, scary, gothic read!

Long, dense, and truly beautiful, the precursor to Women in Love is some of the most beautiful prose I have ever encountered. You MUST, however, have the patience to really sit and let the words wash over you (to quote Ms. Phelps from Matilda). It is several love stories encompasing three generations and well worth the slow digestion time.

I started reading this book about three or so months after the second so i compleatly forgot who everyone but Harry was. Well no thats a lie. For a moment i was confused between Harry Dreden and Harry Potter. But luckly i have the other two books on hand to remind me that Harry Potter is a movie star cum whiny kid and Dresden is awesome. Grave peril gets off to a good start with a high speed chase/race to a hospital and then Harry and Micheal (a modern knight with a sword) fighting a ghost in a maternity ward. This is the most awesome opening ever. Read it while lissening to the ghostbusters theame tune on a loop. You will love yourself for doing such an awesome thing. Then give me 10cent because i sugested the idea. I dont do this for free ya know! Anyway this book has everything any modern Wizzard detective book needs. Which means it has, A knight in service to god, A dragon, a pregnat woman, vampires, ghosts and of course magic. I belive this book the best of the four ive read to date. The twists and turns keep you on your toes and the spectacular ending really grabs the imagination, kinda like the way those eletric paddels restart a stopped heart in ER. What I learned from this book ...That id really like a full suit of armour if i was walking into a vampire party. Also that i shouldnt drink anything at said party.

I picked up this book based on a brief review in the New Yorker and loved it. The meta-literary jokes are just my speed. Some of the later books are even funnier and more elaborate, but this is a good fun start to the series.

I really enjoyed this book. There is much information on culture and traditions. I am looking forward to reading more of Lisa See's books. Also, I had started the book earlier that Mar 3. That was when I joined goodreads.

This small book tells a great big story.It is told in the first person of Ella Mae. a older black woman from Mt.Pleasant ,SC.She is a sweetgrass basket maker for the latter part of her life.She sells her baskets on Route 17. There is a religious content to this book;if that would bother you,i'd stay away. Not one for this type of reading,this book did make me smile,laugh but most of all feel good. I treasure my own sweetgrass basket,and I am happy that there is a real organization to protect the artists and their beautiful craft.
