Very slow to begin with, I found the young Logan ordinary, spoiled and pompous! Which really did not make me want to read on. But i am glad that i did. It's very interesting how life can change a boy into a man, and what once was very important seems less so. I can't say I loved his character in the end but I warmed to him and can see how easily it is to turn out like he did. Nothing is sugar coated, and you do feel you are reading something you shouldn't be, a private diary. One thing is for sure he lived a very interesting life, very much to the full!

Though I havent read a whole lot of Barth, this essay leaves me more open to reading more of his work. This represents the end of his writing career. Very interesting argument of how God has freely chosen to be bound to humanity, such that it is not possible to discuss God as other than the God of humanity, and thus, this essential feature is the 'humanity of God.'

This is an incredible nonfictional story about a young boy who becomes a missionary to an isolated group of Indians in South America. This tribe of Indians has been so isolated that their language is unknown and the author Bruce (Bruchko) must learn their language by taking a long journey through the treacherous South American jungles and immersing himself in their language and culture. Bruchko encounters extremely trying times and difficulties communication as many simple words such as "faith" are not translatable from English to the native tongue. There were also many miraculous provisions throughout Bruchko's life allowing him to triumph over near death circumstances.
Kate left her Brooklyn roots and made it to Manhattan. She has a good job and great friends there. But then one of her old Brooklyn friends shows up heartbroken, Bina has fallen apart after her boyfriend left to explore his "singleness". What to do in a situation like this? Well there is always the enigmatic Billy Nolan, all Brooklyn and all gorgeous. Not to mention that when ever he dumps a girl that girls marries the next guy that comes along, and it doesn't take that long either. Could he be the answer to Binas problem? She can date Billy, get dumped and wait for Jacks return. But the problem might be what Billy feels about the whole thing. This book got me thinking because I honestly didn't care for Kate, early on she mentions how glad she is to be out of Brooklyn, and how much better she is because of it, and this cos she dress better. That comes back later on when she thinks that even if she has the most "simple" dress she still looks so much better than the rest at the wedding she is on. I did recent that only because she lives in Manhattan she is so much better, more worth than those not living in the real big city. All this because of the expensive and fine clothes she wears. What kind of message is that? Or perhaps she only wants to diss Brooklyn, but I took it in too, and it means me too then. And what is with this obsession to get married. Sure I love it in a book, but it was like they couldn't live without it, it defined them. And why marry someone you haven't known for long? Can that really tun out great, it wasn't like they showed in great emotions either, like it was kismet. Oh and I am really tearing at the book now. It wasn't that bad actually. Yes it never did have me laughing or smiling, first once at the end. I was never that interested, and I quickly understood how everything would turn out. But I am sure others could love this book, well at least like it. I guess that because of what Kate said early on I never warmed up to her, and she was bitchy throughout the book, in a way. I think I will stop giving ratings, it is so hard. But since I didn't like the book in the end, I can't recommend it. I rather say that it's up to each to make their own impression of it. Books I don't like others love. That is life. Maybe others can laugh at it too. Though I can say that I give most of my books 3, because it's so hard to choose, and this book wasn't a 3 even if it was an easy read that didn't take much out of you.

This book was a pleasant surprise because it was realistic fiction set in Montana concerning a teen girl who falls for a boy who shares her concern for the wolves that have been reintroduced into Yellowstone. This was a bit on the long side but I liked it.
Just finished this one...

This book wasn't quite as good as the first, but I was still engaged and cared quite a deal about the characters. It's a great read.

Gives a great global perspective on the development of European imperialism. I'm reading it alongside "The War to End All Wars - WWI" and the two mutually enrich and inform each other.

1051 is a really, really big number. Take 1051 molecules of water, for instance. It would take every man, woman, and child now on earth, each drinking a ton of water a second, over 150,000 years to drink it all.

What makes for a "rich" life on earth? Wealth, travel, life experiences,a career, love? In this book, 83-year-old maintenance man Eddie believes he's lived an uninspired, "nothing" life, leaving very few marks on this world or those around him. After his death, Eddie discovers heaven isn't a place, but an answer as to what our lives have meant and why we are here. He gets these answers through visits from five people whose lives were connected to his in some unexpected ways, showing how each life is precious and meaningful. Beautifully written, thoughtful, almost poetic book. Makes you wonder who your five people would be and what they'd have to say about your life.
