Again, only three measly books. It’s a pathetic thing. Don’t I LIKE reading? Yes. I just have so little time for it. One of the books I only “read” because it was on Playaway. I think I’m going to do this more often. Cuz seriously, although it takes the reader much longer to read to […]

I don’t read anymore. Other things have taken over my life. Should I half-ass this and just put the titles and authors, or should I consider this entry as an assignment in which I should actually make the effort to tell you what I thought? Can I even remember what I thought back in June? […]

What: Sights by Susanna Vance
Why I read it: Was doing a display on child abuse and this one sounded interesting.
What I thought: Was cute but a little TOO cute. I don’t usually go for “southern” themed books, to be honest. I really liked the characters, but there wasn’t nearly enough about her having or using […]

Uh, yeah. How long did it take me to do this? No time to do in-depth reviews, but I’ll get back to it. For now, here are some quick thoughts.
What: Free For All: Oddballs, Geeks, and Gangstas in the Public Library by Don Borchert
Why I read it: It’s about library patrons.
What I thought: Cute, but […]

I got NOTHING done this month. I was late on everything, couldn’t get motivated to read, totally played online and oncamera all the time. Is it a coincidence that I started flickr and facebook recently? I don’t think so.
So anyhoo, here’s my pathetic list of books:
What I read: Blaze by Richard Bachman (Stephen […]

The Darkest Evening of the Year by Dean Koontz.
Why I read it: Cuz I read just about everything by DK.
What I thought: It was OK. There were dogs and psycho exes and a couple named Amy and Brian, and yet I still didn’t think it was that great.
Chariots of the Gods by Erich […]

It’s hard to get anything read during holiday time, so once again, only got a few in. But it’s going to get worse when Lost comes back on. I WILL be spending 24 hours a day thinking about, talking about, and researching, that special TV show that has melted my brain and replaced the missing […]

I didn’t get a whole lot read in November, plus I forgot to write a couple of these down, so who knows if this is actually all!
An Ocean of Air: Why the Wind Blows and Other Mysteries of the Atmosphere by Gabrielle Walker. Interesting stuff that of course I’ll never remember!
The Stuff of Thought: Language […]

Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger’s by John Elder Robison. Read it cuz I’ve read all of Augusten Burroughs’s stuff. These boys led a crazy, interesting life. In both books I’ve read by guys with Asperger’s, both men decided not to let their “disability” ruin their lives, and they did everything they […]

Books I read last month:
The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. Easily the best one of the September reads. A very interesting speculation on what might happen to the earth if humans suddenly blinked out of existance. Beautiful, unique, and thought-provoking.
Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams. Yep. I never read it. I feel […]
