i wasn't sure i was going to like but i absolutely did. i could hear her southern drawl. got a few new books on my to-read list from her book. can see how fascinating being in the white house is & liked her demonstrations of faith & hospitality while they were in the white house. had no idea how rigorous even her schedule was a first lady.
Who would have known that a tv clown could lead such an interesting life.
In this book Susan is doing doctoral work in Washington, D.C., so much of the book is set there while Spenser is working on a case. I could identify with this comment by Susan about Spenser: "Despite the fact that I have much more formal education than you do, and despite your somewhat physical approach to problem solving, you are an intellectual and I am not." Spenser explains himself to Paul, his 'adopted' son: "I am what I am, kid. Not by accident. But effort, a brick at a time. I knew what I wanted to be and I finally am. I won't go back." Spenser insight: "People will do a great deal to support the image they have of themselves." Spenser humor: "I smiled at her without warmth. Every year it got easier to smile without warmth. I was starting to feel like Jimmy Carter." (written in 1983)
This book was interesting up until about the halfway point. Amazingly, this neuroscientist is able to remember and understand and recount what was happening within her brain while she was having a stroke. She tells of her long recovery and of having to relearn her discipline. Interestingly, she transformed from a left brainer to a right brainer after her stroke. What I disliked was that this was a short book and fully half of it was devoted to Ms Bolte Taylor's spiritual awakening and gratitude. Nothing terribly heavy, sometimes insightful, but over done.

I very much liked this book. Fast and mysterious, you never really know what's really going on until the end, the lot's so full of twists. My type of book.

You gotta read it, right? It wasn't as bad as I'd been told (by an adult) and wasn't as good as I'd been told (by a teen.) It was better than the movie!
Maybe 1.5 stars. I didn't completely suck, but it failed on most fronts. First, it's a cold war spy novel set in Europe, not what I expect from HCC. Second, it had far too many serendipitous actions. (view spoiler) I never connected with any of the characters. They were cardboard cut outs. The connection between the hero & the heroine was too easy, too. They just never felt real. Possibly the worst HCC book that I've read since "The Colorado Kid".

I have been on a search to find waht the basic principles of freedom are. I thought I would have to read through many books and extract them myself. because of this book I dont have to do that. Skousen has done the work for me. This book clearly, simply describes 28 principles of freedom that the founders understood when creating the constitution. This is a must read for all people who live in these United States.

a really good, informative companion book to 'super size me', if you enjoy his sense of humor and delivery.

(Original pub date: 1991) This is a collection of "modern" (compiled in 1991) Japanese short stories. Except, many of them aren't even short stories, I discovered, but excerpts from novellas. What the heck was the editor thinking?!? It destroys the integrity of the work if you cut half of it out; there's almost no point in reading it at all. It's like a sampler of various author's writing styles, presented without any possibility of deriving some meaning from the work. Some of it was ok, and most of it was really out there, but the realization that a lot of them weren't actually short stories killed it for me. Murakami's The TV People was a for-real short story, but I was not impressed. It was kind of just random, and I couldn't figure out the point. Maybe it's been too long since I thought critically about serious literature? The freakiest one, about a dominatrix, I actually liked because it seemed to have a few interesting things to say, and drew an intriguing portrait of the narrator. The Yamada Diary, essentially a tale of a boy for whom the line between reality and a video game world starts to blur, actually takes that cliche premise and handles it with subtle deftness. Japanese Entrance Exams for Earnest Young Men was possibly the most accessible and fun story, with its skewering of the whole standardized test game. Bonus hilarity points for this collection go to Momotaro in a Capsule, in which the author doesn't even bother to coyly introduce phallic symbols (for instance, a motorcycle). The main character blatantly calls each phallic symbol exactly what it is, and neatly reverses narrative conventions by framing everything he does explicitly and consciously in terms of maleness and phallic obsessions (rather than having that become a hidden message running through a more normal story). Not that I really liked this tale much, either, but the gimmick was interesting.
