Very interesting, especially when comparing it to the text in the bible
I agree with the person who said this was somewhat self-absorbed. It was given to me by my daughter, who was pregnant when she read it. I was really concerned about how it might have effected her confidence in her ability to have a normal delivery after reading it. It was really all about Rebecca Walker...no one could have things as tough as she did...
This book was amazing. I love reading food non-fiction and I love stories of women discovering the reasons we tick the way we do. Dayna Macy wrote an excellent book here encompassing a lot of what we probably all share in our food relationships. If you have a love of food and non-fiction, this book might rock your world as much as it rocked mine.
Nice little overview of Amy Carmichael's life. It tickled my interest in the tumultuous history of India (and China) at that time (turn of the century). I'm the kind of person who likes to have all the i's dotted and t's crossed, so I will pick up a more rich and full biography of her. She seems to be an extraordinary person - especially when compared to this day and age. Very well read, abounding energy, and fully devoted to Christ - beyond denominational differences. I like her. This book recommended books for further reading, so I may pursue that. I will also like to read some of her own writing. In particular, she wrote a book about people dealing with illness called "Rose from Brier" - she wrote it while she was bed-bound - so it has that "been there" perspective. I want to check that out. Easy read and pretty good, but I didn't give it 5 stars since I want more details. That's probably not fair of me.
Perhaps King's best book ever, this novel allows us a glimpse of what society could become in a post apocalyptic era, brutal, crude, bloody.
Lots of references to theorists and anorexics. Diaristic s/m new york LA New Zeland France
Fun to read, interesting.

I have been hearing a lot about the Takeshi Kovacs series by Richard K. Morgan and after spending the first 6 weeks of the year or so engrossed in reading the first four books of the acclaimed fantasy series Songs of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin, I wanted to return to hard sci-fi instead of "swords and lords" fantasy. Morgan's Takeshi Kovacs books are well-known for their seamless melding of Raymond Chandler-esque hard-boiled detective noir atmosphere with the dizzying speculative future of William Gibson's cyberpunk. Since I'm a fan of both mysteries and science fiction this sounded good to me, but I was blown away by how well Morgan immerses the reader in his detailed future of a time where human life has become less valuable because of a technological advance called a "cortical stack" which allows the consciousness of people to be downloaded into a new body (chillingly referred to by Morgan as a "sleeve" with all the concomitant utilitarian and commonplace characteristics the word implies) after death. Peter F, Hamilton and other hard science-fiction authors have postulated similar technological solutions to physical death but Morgan's writing viscerally communicates to the reader what it would be like to have one person's brain downloaded into another person's body and additionally Morgan's plot depicts several of the complications and conundrums that can result. One of the first thoughts that comes to mind after reading the first chapter or two of Altered Carbon, is "This would make an amazing movie, like Blade Runner." In fact, Morgan's debut novel Altered Carbon, won the 2003 Phillip K. Dick Award for Best First Novel and has been optioned by Hollywood to become "a major motion picture." Takeshi Kovacs is an amazing creation. He is the ultimate anti-hero, a violent, highly trained elite soldier (called a United Nations Envoy) who is also sensitive to the plight of the powerless. And he is the main character in a book which is, as one reviewer on Goodreads described it, "A sex fueled scifi badass ex-super solider detective noir novel that rocks really hard." The plot gets incredibly twisted (in multiple senses of the word) at times and it is always hard to tell who the bad guys are from the really, really bad guys but in the end one is convinced by the innate goodness of Takeshi and always interested in seeing what will happen next. I can't wait to read the other two Takeshi Kovacs novels, Broken Angels and Woken Furies. Title: Altered Carbon Author: Richard K. Morgan Length: 375 pages. Publisher: Del Rey. Published: (1st Edition) March 4, 2003. OVERALL GRADE: A- (3.75/4.0). PLOT: A-. IMAGERY: A-. IMPACT: A-. WRITING: A.

I really loved this book. However, I read it before Me Talk Pretty One Day, and I'm sure if I'd read it after, I wouldn't like it as much. So if you haven't read any of them, read this one first and then that one. Some of this one kind of drags, but all in all it's hilarious.

What can I say - I have a secret plan to bum around Europe sometime. For me it's a book of inspiration, or should that be aspiration? A secret pleasure anyway, planning what to do and how to do it.
