Who would ever think a modern white woman could write (believably) from the viewpoint of a southern, african-american domestic? I sure didn’t. However, this book conveys as a true representation of the hearts of many southern domestics as well as the women they worked for (good and bad). Anyone looking to improve his/her own understanding of race relations should read it! I give it a standing ovation!

Twilight tells the story of Isabella Swan, a teenager who has decided to move from Phoenix, Arizona to live with her father in the rural town of Forks, Washington. Bella is mostly ambivalent about her new living arrangement but is somewhat put down by the unfamiliar green scenery and the perennial cloudy/rainy weather conditions. Her biggest concern, understandably, is fitting in with her peers (she is a teenager, after all). Bella is quickly thrown off balance by a seemingly hateful glare from Edward Cullen, a pale, devastatingly handsome boy who only hangs out with four other pale, devastatingly good-looking people. Edward’s glowering fades away after saving Bella from a swerving truck and he starts getting chummy with her. As things heat up, Bella notices odd things about the Cullen clan and starts to suspect Edward is a vampire. Edward admits to craving Bella’s blood, though he claims that his feelings for her are forcing him to control himself. He tries to dissuade Bella from having a relationship with a blood-drinking non-human, but she has already fallen in love with him. Just as Edward starts to trust himself with Bella’s life, an unexpected visit from other vampires puts Bella’s life in danger and forces the entire Cullen clan to try to keep her safe.

To put it bluntly, Stephanie Meyer’s writing style is plain. She doesn’t have the beautiful prose of Anne Rice or even the vocabulary of your typical best-selling YA writer. Imagine a friend telling you about a dream they had and you’ll have a sense of how the story unfolds. Most of the time, Meyer telling you what is happening with the characters instead of showing you. And yet, something about the story kept me reading. Maybe I just like vampires. The book kept me interested through the boring parts because Meyer threw in little tidbits of Edward’s true nature as the story progressed. If the details about his special abilities and those of other vampires weren’t thrown in, I probably would not have been abl

“Carried water for elephants indeed. Do you have any idea how much water an elephant drinks?” These words of Jacob Jankowski open this well-researched, fascinating novel about circus life. This story is told by ninety-something Jacob as he vacillates between the present and the past, reflecting upon an incredible life that was not always easy, but was satisfying.

Jacob finds himself in a nursing home, his mind still active and questioning the meaning of his existence. Reminiscing about his life, he searches for meaning in the bland nursing home food and the fellow nursing home occupants, most of whom have surrendered their logical minds. As he remembers his life following the death of his parents when he was in his early twenties, he marvels at how every event led to the life he had.

Well-researched and accurate, many incredible facts of circus life are divulged in this story. To add to this realism, there are actual photographs from circus archives. This is one unforgettable book!

Great device. I would really like to be able to access the raw data- the readings of coordinates and time and elevation and heart rate so I could plot them as I need. I’ve heard of some freeware that could do this, but Garmin really should take the lead here. Also, it seems from the highly erratic speed/pace data that some smoothing is in order… a single errant point (common in GPS receivers, especially those with antennaes being waved around) can cause distortions in speed calculations. But these can be smoother out using averages over several points. Another reason I’d like access to the data. Ok, I’m a geek, but there’s great information wasted here! And in the interest of full disclosure- I’m a GRMN stockholder.

Not sure I buy the premise of this book, that God speaks through the author. But, I have only read a few pages. Maybe it will get more interesting as I go along.

I went from a small ipod nano to this new 32GB ipod and now I know what I have been missing out on. I can’t believe the storage and how fast it works. I am very happy with my purchase.

Two Christmases ago, my aunt got me this book for my birthday. I was already plenty skeptical about Twilight because it was extremely overrated, but I figured I might as well give it a shot. So I did. That night, I started reading it. And I kept reading it. Finally, I finished it, and I had lost pretty much all faith in humanity.

What is it about this book that’s so friggin’ appealing? It’s absolutely terrible! The writing is mediocre, the story itself nearly bored me to tears (look, I LOVE vampire stories, but what the hell was this? Vampires that SPARKLE? I mean, REALLY!?), and the characters…oh my God, the characters. I cannot for the life of me figure out what makes ANYONE like the characters in this disaster. Bella has got to be the absolute worst. Not only is her NAME cliched, but her entire character is just…ugh! She is the most boring, unoriginal heroine I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading about. She’s supposedly perfect and pretty and every other positive trait under the sun, but she’s constantly wallowing in her misery about how much her life sucks and blah blah blah. Give it a rest. Needless to say, I despise Bella’s character.

And, of course…there’s Edward.

Edward. Effing. Cullen.

And I thought BELLA was disgusting. How can girls all over the world be lusting after this freak? He’s A STALKER! I mean, he sneaks into Bella’s room and watches her sleep? He controls her like a freaking puppet? If my boyfriend did that, I wouldn’t be flattered, I’d be horrified! How Bella can actually enjoy this attention is beyond me.

So the writing, plot and characters are all terrible, and yet, nothing compares to the nature of Edward and Bella’s relationship. Everywhere I go, girls are constantly gushing over Edward and Bella’s love, saying it’s the sweetest thing they’ve ever read. GAG ME. There is no love OR chemistry between Bella Sue and Edward Stu. It revolves around lust, for God’s sake! What’s the reason Edward fell in love with Bella, exactly? Her
