Some locals have formed an impromptu reading group to read the Man Booker shortlist
http://www.themanbookerprize.com/news/stories/1533 http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/gall...11-in-pictures rather ambitiously they've set two books for next week (I'm unlikely to have time to read both) but I've just sent these two to my kindle. 'Pigeon English' by Stephen Kelman and 'Snowdrops' by A.D. Miller |
Just finished "The Sociopath Next Door" non fiction. scarier than fiction. :)
4% of the population or 1 in 25 people, have no conscience. look around the room right now and see if you can pick them out! seriously - really good book. You look at people differently and a bit more objectively. Watch out for those who consistantly play the pity card. |

Have I ever said I LOVE MY LIBRARY. Well if not, I do. So I said it. I admit it. I am a library junkie. So today I picked up "Not One Damsel in Distress ~ World Folktales for Strong Girls" by Jane Yolen. I am asked to storytell for different events, so I am always trying to find interesting folktales that we may not necessarily have ever heard. I also try to find stories about women, strong women, or wiley women... etc. There are far too many male heroes in our north american cultural mythology. I am only one women, but I hold the power of my voice, my body and imagination to encourage other women to embrace the hero within. Anyway... I feel a tangent coming on. :canadian: |

Ive been reading a wonderful book... The man who walked through time. By Colin Fletcher... its about the first man to ever walk the length of the Grand Canyon. Im going through a non-fiction phase with emphasis on naturalists...Bernd Heinrich is another favorite... A Year in the Maine Woods was an INCREDIBLE read..he's the Thoreau of our time..but with more of a scientific mind...

Rereading Cornwell's Winter King, plus a bunch of course readers for uni.

This is a favorite genre of mine (non-fiction travel/ naturalists) so please keep posting books and descriptions as they come up for you :)

Enders Game by Orson Scott Card
I'm always reading more than one book at a time, but this has my primary focus right now. I am bonded to sf and fantasy, particularly heroic paradoxes and anything that draws upon, regenerates or creates new myths that survive in dystopia. I like to see the underdog win against a dehumanizing force in the present and in the future.
This is a trailer someone made of what a filmed version of the book could look like. |
