This is the Entertainment Weekly Top 100 books from 1983 to the present. Despite its source, I find it to be pretty interesting. Since I love books and most of you love books, I thought I'd share it. Red ones are ones I've read. 1. The Road , Cormac McCarthy (2006) 2. Harry Potter and the Goblet of...
Someone said May is a month that deserves all of its 31 days. True it may be--but where do they go? I distinctly remember being busy every minute of them but did I accomplish anything? I did not. I have as little to show for this month of May as my pitiful lilac bush, which put out buds early in the...
Monday passed by with relatively little pain. It didn't hit me until yesterday that all of my TV shows are done and over with for the season. This realization was made all the more harsher, after I compelled myself to sit through The Oh in Ohio. You don't think things could go wrong with Paul Rudd,...
Today was really long. Monday's at Duke you have all your classes for forty-five minutes. So you feel like you've been in school forever. Not to mention if your sister Alice has to go in at ungodly 7:30. She gets mad cause I complain about it but it's really annoying. Anyway. Today in arts block I...
Sparklehorse lyrics Tina Fey's Sorkin-assassinating '30 Rock,' which would be the most quotable show ever if I lived in a country where anyone would understand shit like "I'm on my grind!" 'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay' by Michael Chabon, which I haven't read since I was 19 and still...
Summer Reading List. take one hmmm. okay. i am going to write one of those tacky summer reading lists. because i live next door to a bookstore and plan to do a lot of reading this summer. I'm coming off of my classic kick, which I've been on all year and I'm going back to basics for summer: fun and...
Sooo... I lied and I haven't truly updated in a severely long time. That being the case, here' s my books update. Since I last truly posted, I've read (and note, I'm still on my exclamation point grading system): Drown, Junot Diaz: !!!! The Road, Cormac McCarthy: !!!!! In Defense of Food, Michael...
How well does your name Google? Who are you up against? (Celebrities, etc.) Submitted by Matt Blank. How well, you ask? surprisingly well, in fact. Googling my first name alone brings up some surprising answers, such as www.ayelet.com, which is a travel agency, of all things. And then, of course,...
Books: Show us your summer reading list. Submitted by marvel is my pen name. Following is a list of books I'm planning on reading. I may or may not get to them all this summer, but this is what I have on tap, anyway: PD James, Children of Men - currently reading Joseph Campbell, The Hero With A...
the last half of this song, the three minutes of repetition that might otherwise annoy me like most repetitive anything does, is both empowering and cathartic. and the whole song is just plain beautiful. i made deviled eggs today, with only mild success. but i got a double yolk. isn't that supposed...
My Sazerac and the cigar list at Seven Grand Whiskey Bar When I'm not cooking or saving the world, I read books. The downtown LA public library hosts quite the line-up of authors throughout the year, and Wednesday night's discussion between Kenneth Turan and Michael Chabon provided plenty of...
I know what you're thinking-- thank HEAVENS, Miranda is finally writing again. I know, I know. Since I last wrote I've gone to Philadelphia, Florida, and Hackettstown, moved to a new borough, bought a bed, sold a bed, broke a dresser, hobnobbed with Michael Chabon, Jonathan Lethem and Stephen...
So here it is May 30 and still I haven't started reading a book, in spite of my solemn vow to do so each month from now on. Shopgirl has been laying on the floor by my bed, it's been in my bag when I've gone to the park, it's been in my hands -- but that's it. I'm still issues and issues behind in...
I first read Michael Chabon several years ago when his Pulitzer-prize-winning novel The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay came out. The book is easily one of my favorites. I was immediately drawn to the characters, the language, the setting. After Kavalier and Clay, I backtracked and read Mysteries of...
As much as I loved Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, until recently I hadn't since sought out any of his other books. In particular, Wonder Boys, of which I never saw the movie, either, but whose trailer I was always sort of annoyed by. [1] But so I read Wonder Boys last...
I thought we would focus on some of the stories that were being developed over the last few years for the Mouse. Many of which are in development hell, others still languishing in the process, with a select few actually having worked their way toward preproduction: Game Boys Walt Disney Pictures are...
The Michael Chabon signing was pleasant. There was one obnoxious person who felt he had to ask a dumb/embarrassing question to kick things off. But overall it was good, and I'm excited to read the book. I probably won't get to it for a while; there are a lot of other books on my plate first. And...
Summer Reading (Eighth Grade) Alcott, Louisa May. Little Women. Chronicles the joys and sorrows of the four March sisters as they grow into young women in nineteenth-century New England.

The Sister by Poppy Adams Little Women by Louisa May Alcott The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet: Because We're All in it Together by Suzanne Barnett, Jennifer...
There’s this episode of Looney Tunes where Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are stage performers. On stage, Bugs is wowing the crowd, and all Daffy ever gets is crickets. In anger, Daffy declares that he’s going to perform something dangerous, something daring, something no one’s ever seen before. He...
