I'm not usually that into historical non-fiction. I know I should be, so I typically read 2-3 a year, like eating literary broccoli. Aimee and Jaguar was a pleasant surprise! This is a compelling and educational read about two female lovers set against the backdrop of Nazi Germany. I laughed, I cried, I kept turning the pages well after my bedtime...
This is the kind of book that you dip into, ad hoc, and mull over. Montaigne was brilliant and largely responsible for the origin of the modern essay. His meditations on life, philosophy, religion, virtue and various topics are fascinating. But his stoicism is cloying at times, and that from someone who aims to be more stoic than not.
Grishem just writes fabulously in my opinion. It'a a great sit-back and read novel. ...And it this particular one has an interesting religious twist.

I was fortunate to have a couple kids in In-school Suppension and a couple nice days in the hammock... thus, time to read this awesome book. (I would highly recommend being a huge nerd before reading 'children of hurin'.) If you liked even the smallest part of the Silmarillion you will love this book. 'Children' fleshes out the story of Turin, first meantioned and told in synopsis in the Silmarillion. This story is not all daisies and butterflies... don't look for a happy ending. It's just awesome to be reading more Tolkien.

A fascinating story on the history of the arthurian legend. Best part: it is told from a feminist point of view. I loved how the author wove morgaine, the heroin, in and out of the scenes and allowed the reader to see how others saw her. i will saw that it got a bit repetitive and cumbersome towards the end.
This book is not a spectacular read. Its plot would be unsustainable were it not for George Eliot's piercingly brilliant insights into human nature, which hang extraneously on its uneventful narrative. Unlike Middlemarch, the web of characters in this novel is perfunctory, and altogether rather unsympathetic and uninteresting. Although you witness the long lives of the characters, you never feel as if you have aged with them as you do in her later novels. The ending is a bit like the ending of Scarface -- either you love it and it redeems the work, or you hate it and the work fails. I'm in the former camp, as I didn't mind the deus ex machina as much as some other people seem to. I saw it not as Eliot facilely giving up on an irretrievable plot, but more like the analogous biblical event, with Eliot as the God of her characters (intentionally vague to avoid spoiling it). If you loved Middlemarch it's worth a look, but I was a little disappointed. I still have a great respect for George Eliot's dazzling prose, but the story isn't great in this case.
my fave book on hawaii, davenport's a genius. strong women, politics, that dirty/beautiful hawaii thing and of course sex.
There was a lot I liked about this book -- the author's worldbuilding of an ultra high-tech interstellar society where planets are connected by transporters called "runcibles" was really interesting and impressive. My big problem was that the main character was utterly flat. I didn't find him sympathetic or relate-able in any way. In the beginning of the story we find out that he's been connected to the Grid for too long and is beginning to lose his humanity, so he must be disconnected and do without it, just before being sent on a dangerous mission. I thought that this "not being connected to the grid anymore" thing would be a major struggle for him but it just didn't seem to matter that much. The villain was also very flat and one-dimensional. He seemed to pretty much do bad things because that was the way he was. If the characters had been deeper and had real motivations and all that good stuff, this could have been fantastic, but as it was, it just left me cold.
