Must admit I felt sad when I finished 1984. There is a sense of truth and realism. Looked up on wikipedia the number of songs, albums, stories influenced by this story. Nationalism, continuous war, sexual repression, surveillance, and so on--this futurology has an inescableness. At the end, when one is resigned to its eventuality and conversion, one can not escape feeling a sense of loss. Perhaps, it is because it goes against many of the Hero's journey, which comprises the majority of stories told, still. It is disheartening. We hold on with hope that the hero will triumph. In a morbid sense, at the end, it may have been a converted, brainwashed victory, still. . . At times, it was hard to grasp this stark description of this fiction/ truth world. DOublespeak, vocabulary A/B/C. It brings up images of post war Europe, CNN reality of the 24/7 news cycle, and the dumbing down of society. Where pittance is a way of life. The interpretation of the reasoning of this world reminds me of the post-apocalyptic world of the Matrix with that sense of hope. Still, I am glad finished 1984. We need to take the mountains and valleys of life to feel balance. In order to change the world, 1984 has a way of challenging this mindset. Are you up to the challenge? we'll see.
Overall very good, but such a sad series.

I really did not enjoy this book. It was a little too out there for me. It seemed predictable and like the aithor was tyring to combine as many strange ideas as possible.

I gave this 4 stars the first time I read it; now that I'm older (and wiser???), i might get more out of it and will give it 5 -- but i'll hold off until i finish it! A beautifully told tale about finding your dream, following it to your destiny -- i did get more out of it this second time around!
The beginning was very good, but once it got to the Hotel Chelsea part, it lost me, and I sped through the rest hoping it would get as good as the beginning again. Too much name dropping, and kind of a weird assumption by Patti Smith that she's just this ordinary person. Maybe that's how she feels, but to read "I hung out in the hotel lobby and William Burroughs asked about my poetry" (paraphrasing) as though she's talking about doing the dishes doesn't feel right. It really is a book about Mapplethorpe, not about herself. But then it is not in depth about Mapplethorpe at all, since we only hear about him second hand and a lot of what he experienced and was inspired by wasn't explored. She was puzzled by his homosexuality, and tried not to think about it. Wait - she's living with him, in love with him, and he goes out "hustling" (making money as a male prostitute), and she's just like "whatever"? I'll keep the bed warm for when you get home? I would have like to have read exactly how that conversation went. Were things really so different in that time, or in that circle of people that this was no big deal? Just what men did in New York to make ends meet? So, it's not really a book about Mapplethorpe (since we don't really get a sense of who he was, and miss huge parts of his life; from when Patti and he split until he's dying and she goes to see him). And it's not really a book about Patti Smith (since it doesn't tell much about her own rise to fame or relationships outside of Robert). It's a book about the two of them together. A love story about her first love. Told very romantically, leaving out any luridness. Which I can respect, by the way, since those type of details are none of my business. So, what I liked: I really got the sense of New York, struggling artists, the scene they were in. Her writing captured that well. And she's a better writer than most who write a memoir.

Ridiculous premise, though still mildly entertaining due to Stahl's wit and nack for creating horrific yet comical situations.

A real look at the life of a twenty-something Iranian American who moves back to her homeland to discover that she is as much a foriegner in Iran as in America. She struggles to over come that boundary and chronicles the plight of Iranian women in their quiet Jihad (in the true sense of the word, this means to struggle) against the Islamic Revolution. Unlike Winter in Kabul, this is an unpretentious portrayal of women in the Mid-East. She shows Iran as a modern country with people who want modernity that is hampered, but not smothered by the extremist government and Orwellian morality police.
Most useful for its final chapter, What Happened to the Quants in August 2007, but all of Andrew Lo's work is valuable.
I was really excited about the whole 'history of the Bible' thing, but the characters in this confused the heck out of me. The kindly father/deacon/scholar turned into a knife-wielding bad ass half way through. The original knife-wielding bad ass turned into a junkie and spent the rest of the book obsessed with bread. And the background characters were either horrified or smug, nothing else and sometimes both in the space of a few sentences.
