My goodness, what an insight to how we need to live and embrace life. The courage Randy lived with and the smile on his face through this ordeal begs the question..."Why am I even complaining?" What an inspiration. I need to grasp such a concept of living and run with it...we all do. Ultimately being mindful of every second of living, no worries and no anxiety of what's to come or what to regret. I pray I can embrace this through my own walk of growth and faith.
If you're interested in the immigration debate that is currently strangling the U.S., then this is a must read, regardless of your opinions on the issue. I thought Sonia Nazarro did an amazing job combining her protagonist's story with real facts and issues involved in the migration of Central Americans through Mexico and into the U.S. Definitely worth the time to read.

McCullough is always worth the effort to read. He has researched significant Americans who sought inspiration, refuge, or just escaped to Paris. Especially fascinating is the story of US ambassador to France, Elihu Washburne, who kept careful, insightful journals of his experiences over eight years - including the Franco-Prussian War. Accounts of artists John Singer Sargent and Augustus Saint-Gaudens are additional reasons to saunter through this delightful volume! Thank you David McCullough!
I like Daisy Dalrymple! This book gave a great feel for the times (1920s England) as well as the upper class lifestyle. I was a little disappointed in Chief Inspector Fletcher, I thought he was a little too quick to skirt the law, but of course he was definitely affected by Daisy. I'm looking forward to a developing relationship between him and Daisy. What fun.
I follow the evolution / ID culture war pretty closely, but it occurred to me a while back that I had very little actual understanding of the science behind evolution. After reading Coyne’s book, I realize that I had more than I knew I did, but that I was missing a lot. Why Evolution is True demonstrates with strong clarity why evolution has proven itself to scientists as broadly and throughly as gravity. Unlike Miller’s Only a Theory, which focuses specifically on creationist arguments and why they’re bogus, Coyne explores evolution from the perspective of “how has this convinced us,” and he does so thoroughly. A few fun facts and good quotes: * Evolution depends on six concepts: “evolution, gradualism, speciation, common ancestry, natural selection, and nonselective mechanisms of evolutionary change.” Coyne explains each. * Whales descended from land animals. Their closest living relative is the hippo. They have hip and leg bones and occasionally one will be born with a leg. * The number of spots on the male peacock helps determine how sexy he is to the female peacock. One theory about this is that evolution to appreciate a certain color for unrelated reasons leads to sexual selection. Coyne writes “Suppose, for example, that members of a species had evolved a visual preference for red color because that preference helped them locate ripe fruits and berries. If a mutant male appeared with a patch of red on his breast, he might be preferred by females simply because of this preexisting preference.” (167) In other words, the females would select males because they look tasty. * The lineage of ape to human evolution is astonishingly well defined. The “hobbit” species, Homo floresiensis, an offshoot protected from worldwide species evolution by geographic barriers, lived as recently as 18,000 years ago. * The best argument against intelligent design is the bad design we find throughout complex life forms. By contrast, if we follow clues to explain development of one trait through adaptation from another, most of these bad designs make sense. One extended quote I really like. [Creationists argue:] that all the perceived evils of evolution come from two worldviews that are part of science: naturalism and materialism. Naturalism is the view that the only way to understand our universe is through the scientific method. Materialism is the idea that the only reality is the physical matter of the universe, and that everything else, including thoughts, will, and emotions, comes from physical laws acting on matter. The message of evolution, and all of science, is one of naturalistic materialism. Darwinism tells us that, like all species, human beings arose from the working of blind, purposeless forces over eons of time. As far as we can determine, the same forces that gave rise to ferns, mushrooms, lizards, and squirrels also produced us. Now, science cannot completely exclude the possibility of supernatural explanation. It is possible– though very unlikely—that our whole world is controlled by elves. But supernatural explanations like these are never needed: we manage to understand the natural world just fine using reason and materialism. Furthermore, supernatural explanations always mean the end of inquiry: that’s the way God wants it, end of story. Science, on the other hand, is never satisfied: our studies of the universe will continue until humans go extinct.

If one needed any further cause for raising eyebrows than to laugh aloud while reading a book in public, try doing so while reading a book on punctuation in public. This book is funny, charming and entirely absorbing - a real testament to Lynne Truss's writing style and humor if not to the innate virtue of the subject matter, itself. I feel inspired to overhaul my own text-, email-, and corporate-degenerated prose and start afresh, pen and paper in hand!
I enjoyed this book when I first read it in 6th grade. I read it to some of the fourth grade classes this year when they were studying the pyramids in their classrooms.

This a YA book, my daughter is reading the series and is reading through them pretty quickly and really into them so I picked it up. I liked it overall, the storyline is engaging and fast-paced and has some interesting twists and turns. The writing style reminds me of the Left Behind for kids series, slightly assembly line feeling, but I'm not sure why I feel that way. I'm hoping to read the rest as she brings them home, it definitely has her interest.
