I listened to this work as an audiobook first several months ago. The story alone is masterful but in the audio format the three narrators took it to a whole new level. Afterwards I wanted to read it again, just to hear the magnificent narration. This is definitely the best book I’ve come across in more than 55 years as an avid reader. Being African-American, it is usually difficult for me to read books about my people’s struggle in the South, particularly as late as the 1960s when my grandmother and aunts marched and went to jail with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., after being set upon with high-pressure water hoses and poice dogs. This author has made a distasteful subject insightful, uplifting, entertaining and, above all, enlightening. Even months later, I still miss the stories and struggles of the women in this book. I feel as if I’d known them all my life. Kathryn Stockett delivers a masterpiece of understanding, love, pain, oppression, support racism, strength, and her personal struggles with right and wrong. Her characters are well-developed and the situations well-defined. One almosts feels that they are really in Jackson, MS during a very volatile time. Trust me, it was not a comfortable feeling! I’ve listen to the book more times than I can count and purchased it in print because it should be a part of everyone’s personal library. I implore the author to give us more! (By the way, I got the audiobook from [...] where the listeners have recently voted “The Help” not only the “Best Audiobook of 2009″, but also “THE BEST OF ALL TIME”!)

This isn’t normally the type of watch that I’d wear but was recently in a work situation where I needed something that wouldn’t stop ticking if it got wet. This is the watch I chose and I’m glad I did. Not only that, but it’s actually a really nice watch! Looks great and keeps perfect time. As a vegetarian, I even like the band.

Not sure how this would work for you if you’re a serious diver or have a need some atomic-clock level accuracy, but I feel it will work just fine for most people.

Sounds good by the title, but this is another New Age that offers nothing. I threw it in the trash the day I bought it.

Catcher in the Rye has many relevant meanings for the teenagers of today. Holden Caufield’s confusions and frustrations are those of most teenagers who want to connect with other people and belong to a certain social quota. J.D Salinger presents to us a novel full of symbolism, imagery, and adolescent complexity that fufills it’s overall goals of giving us a glimpse into the life and psyche of a troubled and disturbed teenager who tries making connections with people he doesn’t know ending up in, as mean as this may sound, humorous failed attempts. The overall theme in this novel doesn’t comply any moral as did Ovid’s fables back in ancient Greece. Catcher in the Rye tends to be more interpretive in that manner. Holden’s inability to truly connect with people is due to his inability to immature and let go of pain.
“People never notice anything” (Pg 9). It’s in this quote that we really see what type of person Holden really is. Nobody around Holden seems to understand him, seems to understand his angers and confusions. Everyone is just as about as “phony as he is”. It’s in these beginning chapters we notice that something is wrong with Holden. something that doesn’t quite match up. He’s a white male with well-off parents that can afford to send him off to boarding school and he purposefully flunks out by not even attempting to study. It’s not until later on in the novel that we learn of James Castle and his brother Allie that there is a reason for this rebellion and personal wall that he has erected for himself. It’s how Holden breaks this wall that makes this book powerful and a very compelling and humorous read.

I bought this pedometer for my mother who has since taken up walking long distances. This is an excellent pedometer but make sure you correctly measure your stride distance before putting it to use. I found that if your measurements are off – so is the pedometer’s way of counting your steps. I guess it’s good that it’s so sensitive and precise. The extra choice of clipping the pedometer to you is better than only having the option of placing it on your belt.

Artemis Fowl 1 is one of the best books I’ve ever read. Probably in my top 10. The characters were very different from each other, each with his own personality. This book had an okay plot: Artemis was desperate to get his family’s wealth back by stealing the gold from fairies. I enjoyed it. This book engrossed me entirely. I thirst to read the next books and so might you.

I HATE THIS PRODUCT!!! Is not compatible with earlier version! Can’t make revisions to “compatibility version,” everything’s deleted when it’s closed. Power Point doesn’t have same WordArt options as older version, so again can’t transfer. Means all my old ppt versions have to be converted & then are not “showable” on other computers with old version!

After setting it, it keeps perfect time.
Setting it is a little tricky, but worth the effort.

Do what you want, no guilt, nothing is right or wrong. No commitments, just feel good. Tired of your partner? Just get a new one. Everyone else is okay unless they’re trying to get you to do something you don’t want to do.

This moral relativism is leading our society down the path of decline. Whether you are a Jew, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or agnostic, life is enhanced by some self-discipline and guts to stand for something. There is good and evil in the world, right and wrong. If we don’t stand up for it, we’ll descend into a pile of garbage. This is a rehash of the 60’s philosophy of do your own thing, free sex, drugs, feel good, it doesn’t hurt any one but me. These are all lies that degrade our society. If you don’t believe it, teach school for a while. See the hippy grandchildren paying the price for the selfish drug induced excess of their parents and grandparents. We’ve been there done that. It wasn’t very pretty. I didn’t buy it then and I’m not buying it now.

Give me individuals who believe in hard work, discipline, saving rather than spending, community service, a view that goes beyond their own noses and pleasures. That’s what makes a society and its people great. Get out and do something for someone and most the neurotic worries about self will disappear. That’s what is basic to all major religions. They have survived for millennia because they work and will long outlast Mr. Walsch. I’m far from perfect, but I know wisdom when I see it. This isn’t it.
