This is a good book if you can get around the authors over inflated ego (no small feat!). I will say that it was well written and I feel that I learned something.

I know this is supposed to be a great building block of the feminist movement...but I found it brain-meltingly horrible. Mostly, I just wished the main character would have died in the first or five pages and saved us all the trouble.

Gardner's early Perry Mason novels are great fun. This one dates from 1939, and yes it really does feature a perjured parrot.
This book is an interesting social history of the world in which Shakespeare lived. I liked it, to a point, but thought that some of the author's claims about Shakespeare were a bit far-fetched, based on very slender circumstantial evidence.
Hill, an established book personage/author in England, provides a look at the literature that has influenced her life. She lives surrounded by volumes and decides to restrict her reading to what is around her for one year. She has firm ideas on what would make her “Final Forty” list, including mostly British classical literature and mostly fiction. Her choices would not be my choices, and I probably would have enjoyed the book more if our reading interests intersected more. Still, her antidotes about British literary figures make dipping into this book worthwhile.

David Baldacci is a good storyteller. I enjoy all his books. They are not literary masterpieces, just exciting thrillers.

I found this book to be a paradox in a way - I didn't like it, wouldn't recommend that any of my friends go out and read it, yet still very much want to talk with someone who's also read it to see what they thought. Why? Well, the book has an incredibly interesting topic - the narrative of a French journalist's multiple treks across the US in 2004, inspired by Alexis de Toqueville's Democracy in America. He uses his journalistic credentials to interview an array of American leaders and politicians left, right and center - just about everyone who's since run for president, cable TV talking heads, what's left of the intellectual political philosophers (apparently not much), mayors, governors, and miscellaneous politicos. Just as often as not though, his interactions are drawn from everyday Joes from parts of the country like Arab Detroit, Cuban Miami, patrols along the Mexican border, Sun Belt retirement communities excluding anyone under 55 years, mega-churches, mega-malls, mega-prisons - even Guantanamo - and plain vanilla suburbs, getting insights along the way to which the bulk of Americans, myself included, are largely oblivious. Unfortunately, Lévy sacrifices depth for breadth with his innumerable 2-3 page recantations of these interviews and wanderings, even if many of these would be fascinating as stand-alone commentaries given a bit more substance and a lot less of the author's own narrative behind them. The question I keep coming back to - and this is the part that makes me want to find someone else with an opinion of this book - is this: how representative are Lévy's random and disjointed experiences and commentaries of America as a whole? Is one coherent viewpoint even possible? And if not Lévy's picture(s), what or whose contemporary equivalent would be better?
I really enjoyed this book. Annabelle is about my age and going through some of the same things (not the affair...I promise!) Just that empty next thing. Here's a funny passage: "...let me tell you: the one with the most free time loses in all marital discussions. It's a given. So, if you're the less busy person, take my advice and fake extreme busyness...."Well, that leaves me out, I'm afraid, because nobody on earth could be busier than Grant"... then you'll have to go to Plan B, which is just to embrace the laziness and kick back and enjoy it. Luxuriate in it. Do your nails, brush your hair, yawn a lot. Take up lounging. It's a path that also has its benefits. Work at lowering people's expectations. That can also be quite effective." Ha ha.... it was funny to me because my husband loves being busy and is always running around, and I'm embracing the laziness these days....after many many years of busyness! This book actually made me appreciate my husband more!
Fiercely addictive.
