My friend loved it so much that she drove it over as soon as she was finished.

Rosie and I listened to Chaz Bono's lastest book on tape while driving to Richmond. It was very well done. We enjoyed it.

I am reading Transition by Chaz Bono, I may be wildly unpopular for saying this, but I am a little disappointed, I am up to Chapter 6.

Also, is there really a way to share Kindle books, or is that a myth?

I am re-reading a fantasy series with a kink component. The author is Jacqueline Carey. The books are named in order:

Kushiel's Dart
Kushiel's Chosen
Kushiel's Avatar

I have a few more to read but I wanted to refresh my memory

I'm reading Stieg Larson's "The Girl Who..." series. I started reading them a week or so ago and can't put them down! I'm on the last book now, which is a terrible combination of awesome and not awesome since there are only 3 books in the series.

Forensics - Zakaria Erzinclioglu
It's taught about a lot of things in regards to forensics, yes he has opinions, but I've yet to find one of his opinions which are invalid, definitely food for thought. It's making me start to wish I'd worked harder at school and taken the time to possibly look into studying forensics years ago, ah well, such is life!

Honestly, the only way that I've found to share books on Kindle is if the Kindles are registered to the same user on Amazon's system. I know, it's kind of a bummer...

Manning Up - How the rise of women has turned men into boys by Kay Hymowitz.

Interesting history. Still trying to decide if there is some merit to her conclusions.

It does sound interesting. So is she blaming the behavior of men on feminism?

I am still mulling this over but it seems her premise is that societies have certain rituals/rites to bring children into adulthood and the roles associated with them. In this society the rituals included jobs, marriage, having a family...in that order.

Now, as women are becoming more self sufficient financially, foregoing marriage, and having children without husbands or active fathers, the change in rituals for males is leading to a prolonged adolescence or pre-adulthood. The loss of rituals is leading to role confusion and males are struggling to redefine purpose/roles.

Seems more like systems theory applied to humanness i.e. a change in one part of a system, requires a change in another. Just observing the process of change as it is evolving rather than a blaming thing.
