Very interesting story. Like the way it was both scientific and human interest. Reinforces my belief in education, everyone needs to be educated.

Got me pumped to write some letters, raise some money, do anything i can to stop genocide in Darfur. These guys did a good job of keeping the reading light and fast--doesn't bog you down with data and what not--it's basically a guide to how to be active on the issue but it has multiple references to other books and sources that are more factual and academic in their handling of the issue. All in all, a good read if you know nothing about Darfur but care enough to learn a little and do a little.

First, thank you Goodreads First Reads & Putnam Books for the free advanced copy! (If you don’t already know, check out the Giveaways Section!) Remember THAT ex of yours? Imagine if you both had similar careers writing in somewhat dissimilar genres, and decided to take turns writing chapters (unedited by the other author), included your notes (and footnotes) to each other, and just let it fly. If you CAN’T imagine, then you’ve got the idea. The beauty of the way the story unfolds is that, as both writers work at three tasks (developing murder mysteries, meddling with their co-author, and burying funny insults in shallow graves), NO ONE (from the authors to the characters to the reader) seems to know what’s going to happen next. Miraculously, the result is a page-turner. You’re simultaneously seeing a bizarre story advance and waiting for the next moment in a hilarious (real or staged) spat. On rare occasions, the snarky notes back and forth become too much – but isn’t that the nature of any project with an ex? The funny moments far outweigh the uncomfortable ones and, after all, the back-and-forth gives you the unique (and here unavoidable) opportunity of laughing out loud when a character is unexpectedly killed. The end result is a bizarre, funny, and enjoyable read. I found myself rooting for and against nearly everyone at some point – putting a creative spin on the classic ruse of whodunits. The book is out this month – grab it!
Why do so many people like this book? Am I missing something?

Prostě mě to nebaví. Přečetla jsem tak pětinu knihy a pořád jsem se do toho nutila. Zlepší se to?
Another really great book by Jeffery Deaver, this man never disappointments me. Loved the insight into reading people will probably try to read some of the references given in the book. I love Lincoln Rhymes and now Kathryn Dance has become another great character to enjoy.

There are some books that affect you long after you stop reading them; there are some books that come back to you when you least expect it, and you want to suggest everyone read it at least once... yet you're shy to recommend it to many people because if they don't have the same experience with it you'll feel bad (and likely wonder what the hell is wrong with the recipient, the cold-hearted bastards...). Ahem. This is one of those books for me. It blew my mind about six years ago when it was first recommended to me by a guy who I soon thereafter moved in with and here we are, still together (not solely because of this book, but it didn't hurt when we realized the kinds of conversations we could have). I recommended it recently as the next book for our book club because it's been on my mind a lot lately and I wanted a good reason to re-read it, since lately I've been finding it hard to want to re-read anything (too many books, too little time). Viktor Frankl spent three years in concentration camps during World War II. During his time in the camps he was able to pull from the nightmare the principles behind what he later called logotherapy. In simple terms it's the concept that having meaning in one's life, a goal to work towards, is essential to be able to survive the harshest suffering. It seems like an easy enough concept, but so few people actually practice it; reading this a second time has revitalized the idea in my own mind. I think it's nicely summed up in a footnote: Logotherapy is not imposed on those who are interested in psychotherapy. It is not comparable to an Oriental bazaar but rather to a supermarket. In the former, the customer is talked into buying something. In the latter, he is shown, and offered, various things from which he may pick what he deems usable and valuable. So the real question is: Did Frankl blow my mind in this second reading? Yes.

This is a much chillier, soberer world than the first part of Henry IV, lacking in both its good humor and its generosity. Falstaff is not nearly so funny apart from Hal, Prince John is a much icier foil than the mercurial Hotspur, and Hal himself--whom we wish to like--makes himself disagreeable by stealing his dying father's crown and snubbing the fat knight we love. Yet Shakespeare, by subtle degrees, leads us to the point where we come to admire Hal and believe in his moral transformation. Images of gestation and generation abound in this very masculine play, demonstrating how many unlooked-for things may grow within the womb of time, how even the most dissolute of princes may mature into a great warrior king.
Amazingly well-written. Loved the descriptions and felt like I was there with the characters for most of the book.
