2007 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction At first, I found McCarthy's prose style pretentious and irritating, but once I began to care what happened to the man and the boy, all bets were off. I lay on the brown couch in my bleak gray basement. Gray like the ashes of a dying civilization. The couch comfortable. The blanket tucked around me. A spoiled American brat who doesnt know true suffering. This book is torturing me, I say to the room. Are they going to die? No, they're not going to die. Because they're the good guys, right? Yes, they're the good guys. Okay. The parody version of The Review has already been done. The exhausted hilarity. The dead horse beaten into dust. Something about macadam. I'll have to look that one up. I'll has an apostrophe, but wont doesnt. The irish cream necessary for me to complete The Review. Swirling into my gullet like a cyclone flushing its way into loathsome space. The soul of a dying penitent reaching out for his nonexistent God. The mystery of the apocalypse. Why werent humans destroyed too if all of the animals were gone? The setup. The unanswered questions. The burning forests, the mostly-intact houses. The jarring, ill-fitting ending. Query: Why did I like this book? In all seriousness, I liked the book because it gave me hope. Maybe people who have very sunny lives (or very gentle hearts near to the surface, like my husband) don't want to deal with all the darkness. Maybe I don't even need such darkness in my entertainment, the "tragedy porn" as another reviewer aptly put it. Maybe it's wrong to equate my recent (and very first-world) suffering with a post-apocalyptic survival story. Yet, equate it I do, as a metaphor if nothing else. This story simultaneously shames me with its tattered characters struggling to live and uplifts me with their assertion that life must continue one step at a time, for the sake of love, if for no other reason. Isn't love the only real meaning there is?

Frank Lloyd Wright left architectural treasures for the ages. I've visited several of his homes in the Chicago area and acknowledge their greatness. However, he also led a personal life of grotesque egoism, deserting his wife and six children. He declared that rules are for "little people" and that the great need not follow them. It raises the question, is great egoism necessary for greatness? This book is about how his charisma, both vital and evil, affected his three wives and his mistress. The narrator is a Japanese draftsman, one of his assistants who labored at Taliesen in Wisconsin. All in all, an interesting read. I tried it on a Kindle, my first Kindle book. It's enough of a page-turner (clicker on a Kindle) to keep you devouring it. It's more enjoyable if you can also visualize his inglenooks (fireplace sitting areas), the Midway Gardens, the Imperial Hotel, and Taliesen. I'd recommend referring to books or internet visuals on FLW's architecture as you read.

I really liked this book. Seemed still relevant to this day despite its age. Seemed like equal parts comedy, tradgedy. Existential and absurd is probably the only way to tolerate either style and this does it well.

This was a murder mystery set in Vermont. It took a little longer than I would have liked to get into it. But, once I really got into it, it was a definite page turner. Although it was semi-figure outable I still liked it. It didn't evoke tons of "Vermontness" for me.

This is my very confusing jargon-filled biology textbook... my teacher is so much better at explanation and application. Seriously, who bothers to write these things?

What a fun perspective this book gives of a life often told about but seldom appreciated. Definitely one I recommend. The last paragraph I LOVED and want to be part of my memoirs!
