While this may be considered a literary classic, I never could get interested in the story or the characters. I finished it, but can’t say I enjoyed the read.

With the recent death of its author, J.D. Salinger, I felt that it was time to finally do something I have been intending to do for years, read his classic. I was disappointed. Maybe it was because I had high expectations after all the hype. Maybe it was because I kept expecting something to happen, you know, the classic building action, climax, resolution thing. This book is nothing like this.
Written about a couple of days in the life of a teen who was newly expelled from yet another private high school, the author explores the traditionally pessimistic, skeptic, somewhat depressing view that youth has about the world created by his predecessors. Written with plenty of voice, this book is an enjoyable read, as the reader waits for something to develop. I could almost hear the voice of this book’s contemporary, Jack Kerouac, in the pages. But nothing does happen. Maybe that was the author’s point. In any case, I found that disappointing.

Is it even possible to have a conversation with God, in the same everyday sense that we can have a conversation with another person? Neale Donald Walsch doesn’t claim to have literally heard the voice of God, but he claims that God spoke to him nonetheless, and that he has simply transcribed God’s words.* I don’t think I’m the right person to take a position on Walsch’s claim but I will say that he offers a beautiful and compelling vision of reality and our creative power. His book inspires the excitement and the feeling of recognition that we experience when encountering a deep insight or truth. Readers might find passages in Conversations with God, attributed to God, that sound more like Walsch. But maybe those passages reflect Walsch’s limitations, or the reader’s limitations in understanding them.
In the book, we are told that God encompasses all things, including us. God created us – a part of Himself – so He could experience Himself. A thing can only be experienced in relation to what it is not, and we find both good and bad in the world. But we are urged not to condemn what we call bad in the world. Rather, when we encounter conditions that are inconsistent with what we are or what we want to be, we need to take responsibility for them and ultimately change them through our creative power.
The discussion of this – the creative power that we share with God – is the most compelling part of the book. We are told that the creative process begins with thought, becomes more concrete through speech, and more concrete still through action. When we recognize our power to create, we recognize that we are responsible for what exists. This is obviously true on one level: “things are what you make of them” is a commonplace. We have all seen people live up to our high expectations or be dragged down by low ones. We have all transformed a bad situation into a good one (or maybe a good one into a bad one) through our thoughts and actions. But the assertion m

Great carpet cleaner. I went with this model after MUCH research b/c my parents bought the same one about 10 years ago and have NEVER had an issue with theirs. After borrowing theirs for 4 years, I decided that it was time to buy my own.Sometimes the vac doesn’t suck- but that is b/c I don’t always have the canister locked into place. With an infant and 2 large dogs…this was a great purchase and it does a wonderful job!

“People never notice anything” (9) states Holden Caulfield, the protagonist of J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye. The story is a monologue of Caulfield’s existence in a privileged society filled with “phonies” during the 1950s in New York City. Caulfield’s parents send him away to boarding school, which does not alter his cynical attitude towards life and prompts him to be extremely apathetic and fail out of multiple schools until he lands at Pencey Prep, where the story begins. The reader discovers that Caulfield is actually very troubled because of the death of his younger brother, which affects his attitude towards life causing him to disregard a life of affluence and conclude that it is empty, providing no comfort, as many believe money can. At one point in the story, Caulfield expresses that money, “…always ends up making you blue as hell” (133). After being expelled from Pencey Prep, for failing every class except English, he decides to venture into New York City before the letter detailing his expulsion reaches his parents. Caulfield embarks on a journey in search of what is missing in his life and what will ease his depressed state. Masking his feelings behind sarcasm and witty banter, Caulfield reaches desperation, as he stays awake night and day, drowning in his own misery while in search of what will make his life better.
This novel is brilliantly composed by Salinger, who examines the life of a teenager who feels lost and trapped inside an empty world. Whether it is his compulsive spending, apathy towards school, or even confusion with the opposite sex, Caulfield is a character that is so real, the reader feels as if he is a troubled friend who is in need of help. Because of his character and the conflicts he faces, Caulfield makes The Catcher in the Rye a timeless masterpiece. In an increasingly material world, the troubles of money and the search for what will bring true happiness is a more relevant theme than ever. Adolescents will always fin

Crazy on NETWORX LINUX CLUSTERWORX LAUNCHES
My Kindle was a wonderful, wonderful surprise Christmas present from my son and husband. They also
gave me a $200 Amazon gift certificate! I actually cried when I received it. I just love it and
consider it quite an extravagance: I’m in my early sixties and have a hard time (mentally, not
financially) even buying books vs visiting my library.
It is a terrific gift – especially if given with an Amazon money certificate!
There are a few “buts”:
1) I am now using my Kindle more as a supplementary reading source for my local library
(I reserve books online). The main reason is because some publishers have raised their prices as much as 50%.
James Patterson’s books, which are really no more than 200 pages once you figure in the huge margins
and 2-l/2 page chapters, are now in this category and I will not buy them for my Kindle. I generally purchase
only books over 500 pages so I feel I am getting my money’s worth!
2) The keyboard takes up a large area that I would rather have as part of the viewing screen. I rarely
use it. Could there be a keyboard option on the screen? I don’t access files – phooey on that.
3) The sleep/off switch is awkward and has ruined what little fingernails I have! Perhaps an improvement here.
I value my black leather cover, which opens as a book. I would suggest purchasing this cover, which also protects the screen. I see no value in that rubberband addition – which is on a newer version of this cover.
When I first received my Kindle with this cover, I was holding it like it was a book, but now find that I swing the left side around the back of my Kindle and prop it up on a pillow while in my “reading chair”.
