QotW: Page Turner

What book are you reading right now? I'm taking ages to read it. I don't ever feel like picking it up to read but when I do, I really enjoy it. Which probably doesn't make sense. My only slight quibble is the structure is a little frustrating. I'm two thirds of the way through and having given up...

Games as Book Marketing

The NY Times has an interesting article today about games being used to market books. I checked out one of the games mentioned -- man, the author put a fair chunk of change into his game. Based on what I've seen of book trailers on YouTube, I was expecting it to look cheesy. But the look and feel is...

10/6/08 The Sun Also Rises Essay

The purpose of Ernest Hemingway’s novel The Sun Also Rises is to be a portrait of a group of people in a certain time and place, namely the American expatriates in the late 19-teens on the Left Bank of Paris. It is not meant to entertain (although that may happen along the way) but to illustrate...

an enjoyable read

I read this book by Meg Cabot at the suggestion of both my daughter and my sister. They were right to suggest the book to me as I enjoyed reading "Size 12 Is Not Fat". I will probably seek out Meg Cabot's book when I am perusing the shelves at the library in search of a book to lose myself in for...

QotD: Singing in the Rain

What is your favorite thing to do on a rainy day? Lay down on the bed and just practically do that for the whole day and think about stuffs. Think about that particular children book I used to read when I was young and inside, it was talking about a really large family, living together in a mansion....

Just call me Reader McBookerson

I'm still behind on my book blogging. So here are some Really Short Reviews so I can finally catch up! Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella (audio book). Pondy will attest that I had a very similar idea for a book over a year ago, and I'm convinced Kinsella stole it. Get out of my brain, Kinsella!...

The Long Walk...

I just finished re reading Richard Bachman’s “The Long Walk.” Richard Bachman, for those who don’t know, is Stephen King. The story is about 100 boys between the age of 14 and 18 who compete for “the Prize.” The prize is irrelevant; the contest is for these 100 boys to walk until there...

I want to be a vampire.

I've put off reading Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga for a while now. I hear "it's about vampires," and more or less just kind of give it the brush off. However, the 11th graders I teach have become comletely captivated by these books, and at the suggestion of a very reliable media center...

For the Love of Books

Bibliophile or a bookworm? I think I'm both but leaning more towards the bookworm. I love books. I love basking at bookstores for hours. Every time I meet up with someone, there are only two places I go to while waiting (and I don't mind if I have to wait for an hour or so.) I usually head to a...
