Hi. I just had perhaps what was the most awkward and possibly offensive conversation with one of our customers today. Some guy was looking all over the store, really looking like he was trying to find something. Finally, he resorted to asking me, "Hey, do you know that book with the papaya on it, it...
Lets start with Design Your Own Knits: In 5 Easy Steps by Debbie Abrahams, because I like it the best. This book really freaking rocks. I will tell you the only think I don't like about it first: it does not really go into very much detail about knitting in the round. Having said that, here is the...

I was looking for a children's book I loved from years ago on Alibris the other day. A browsing detour led me to this exhibition catalogue, which I could not pass up for the $10 asking price. It is from a show that opened in February of 1971. It includes the text of Kenneth Frampton's 1968 essay...
Read this book! I hate it when people tell me that a movie / book / cd changed their lives, but this one is a great read...
I recently saw a promotion for a new book and it looked eerily familiar to me. I was sure I'd seen it before, but it's a new release, so how could that be? Turns out, I had a different book in my Amazon wish list with the same photo on the cover. It seems odd to me that with so many images in the...
This sweet lady who comes into CC's with her husband all the time offered to loan me this book. It's one of my favorite movies so I'm confident I'll enjoy it. I thought it was so nice of her to loan it to me.
What if you want to marry someone with Uranus in the seventh house? Answer: you'd better want your own space, 'cause they're going to want theirs. And if you both do, then that's all right. Now, looking at my chart, I didn't have any obvious connections to this...but it's pretty much how I have...

Joon and I have started a page on our shared blog, The Portable Reader's Guide to Good Things, on contemporary novels/short story collections that are worth your time. We read a lot of junk so you don't have to.
Ok, I'm completely lifting this from 1 More Chapter dot com, who has made a list based on 1,001 Books You Must Read Before You Die, and then highlighted the ones they've read. Here's my list of the ones I've read: 28. Kafka on the Shore – Haruki Murakami 33. Middlesex – Jeffrey Eugenides 49....
My question this morning is: How do I find time to read all the books I want to read? I currently have a 35 pound totebag of a variety of things from Anne Lamott (love her), to Jhumpa Lahiri, Julia Cameron, to Rosemary Mahoney, to Mary Pipher. The books run the gamut from writing and creativity, to...
wow, there's something about insomnia that is extremely productive, apparently. two books in a day, i didn't count on that in my goal-setting, in order for me to return these books to the library in time to pick up frostbite. but uhh, anyway, i'd heard from mike's sister that this was a bad book and...
First post. I guess I'll randomly say something about my bookshelf. I just picked up Genpei a few weeks ago, but I have yet to start it. I've never heard a thing about it, but I was craving historical fiction, and it was $3 at Half Price Books. Hopefully it will prove somewhat amusing. ...I have...
My web presence has been shamefully absent from this vox this year so far, so this is a part of one of my upteenth resolutions to post more regularly. Last month was a really poor reading effort - nothing was finished. This month things are looking up: so far I've finished: Mansfield Park was my...

UNIKFREK© aka SHEiMA is suffering an identity crisis of sorts ... ??? what on earth is a girl to do when she questions what she is doing with her life? does graphic design help the world in any way? am i part of an evil system that compounds and festers all that lies in its path? is this my...
Okay, so I just finished the Host. And I just have to talk about it. So, don't read it if you don't want to be spoiled. But come back and read this post when you have read the book, because I want to talk to somebody about it! (Highlight to read.) Overall, it was amazing. I ate this book up so...
Yes, I admit, I am fascinated by Adolf Hitler. Lenin had passion, personality and the courage of his convictions; fortunately he died before he could do any more serious damage to the people of Russia. Stalin picked up where Lenin left off; however, it was his ruthlessness, fearmongering and...
