Incredible story about life in England in the 1100's and the political relationship between the monarchy and the church. Kings, earls, knights, men at arms...abbots, archbishops, bishops, priors, monks. There are several plot lines and points of views intertwined into an intriguing narrative about building a cathedral. The author portrays life in those times detailing foods, trades, transportation, war...growth and transformations of towns and churches, and the power struggles that unite and divide society and its leaders. Despite the seriousness of the topics, the author uses an understated comedic tone throughout the book. I sped through the 1000 pages in less than 4 days!

Julie Powell is not the first person to compare sex and food, and thankfully, she won’t be the last. In this self-absorbed blog-turned-book, Julie Powell, a self-described government drone, needs a project to make her life a little more interesting and give it some (or any) meaning – she’s really not sure. (Someone asked George Mallory "Why do you want to climb Mt. Everest?" to which he famously replied, "Because it is there." Same philosophy here.) Julie sets out to cook all or most of the recipes in Julia Child’s iconic cook book “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” in one year. Small New York apartment, challenging recipes, supportive beleaguered husband, a hunt for rare or unusual ingredients interspersed with fictional glimpses of Julia Child’s life – you can see why the Julie/Julia Project would seem intriguing to readers. An exciting premise certainly, but a poorly-written book. Perhaps that’s why Julie and Julia is now a movie starring Amy Adams. Hollywood certainly will improve on the book – tightening up the pointless details, the endless segues and making us care about Powell and her project more. Powell’s not a good writer, just as many bloggers are not. (There are so many better memoirs out there I wondered how this even got published.) The inane minutia of her childhood and life leave readers exhausted and hoping she’ll get to the point – or any point, really. And the constant pop culture references? Yawn. Okay, already – we know you grew up in the 70s; you watched a lot of TV; you have a crush on Jason Bateman. I kept waiting for the Teen Wolf reference. Powell’s like that friend who only wants to tell you about everything that’s going wrong in her life and needs you as a friend only so she has someone to complain to. Sigh. The book does have some bright spots. When Powell talks about her friends, you can feel the love and affection she has for them – that’s also when the strongest writing comes out. Her co-worker’s IM trysts with a married man are hysterical as is the co-worker’s ultimate reason for breaking up with him. And while I personally wouldn’t compare liver to sensational sex as Powell does, it made a giggling discussion for my book club as we picked a food that compared to sex with our husbands. Powell’s blog readers – or “bleaders” – express many of the feelings that readers of this book will have: “Enough already” (referring to aspics) or “Don’t give up,” (referring to lobsters). Powell also changes the cooking rules recommended by Julia Child when it suits her – substituting tomato paste for seeded, diced, crushed tomatoes when she feels like it but spending hours making mayonnaise. There was no explanation of why she had to follow exactly some of Child’s recommendations for ingredients or why she “cheated” with other ingredients – and don’t forget that Powell explains everything. If you like reading blogs instead of books, and know a little about cooking but don’t really care, you will likely enjoy this book.

This is basically an updated version of The Count of Monte Cristo, a book which I love. It's funny, I am perfectly happy to cheer on Dantes's revenge in that book, but when it's translated to modern times it just seems horrifically extreme and you can't sympathize with it at all. Maybe that was the point?
Dewey really was an amazing cat. Vicki and Dewey helped each other when they needed it most. And Dewey helped the whole town. A really cute book with fun vignettes about the Library Cat.

I want to like Thoreau, but the more I know about his personal life the less I respect him. After all, he claims that he wanted to seclude himself at Walden, but he walked to his mom's house for lunch every day and made her do his laundry.

Since I was a child, this has been my favorite in the Chronicles of Narnia series. You really can't argue with a hideous little boy and a talking mouse. It's really a great story, Christian references aside.
He read the Bible so you don't have to. Well, actually, he read the Torah, and you should probably still read the Bible for yourself, but he had many of the same reactions I did to the stories of the Old Testament. He's funny, insightful, and at once critical and optimistic.
i'm such a dork for loving this book.

Thomas wakes up in an elevator in the Glade, the center of an enormous mysterious maze, surrounded by only teenage boys. The next day the first ever girl arrives in the Glade with an ominous message about all their fates. Sounds intriguing right? Well, it could have been. It should have been. But, it just wasn't for me. I struggled getting through this book and almost gave up on it all together. I am glad I finished it, as the ending was quite interesting. My main problem with The Maze Runner were the characters. I could not get invested in any of them. Thomas was dull, at best, throughout most of the book. Very few showed much personality and some were plain annoying. Minho and Newt were by far my favorites but I don't find myself really caring too much about what comes next for them ~ which is normally what keeps me reading a series. I love the idea of this book but I think it was written for young(ish) boys, and that just is not what I am.
