I’m conflicted about this book. I don’t know whether I hate it or like it. Whether it’s brilliant or pretentious. And whether I’m spending too much pondering all of this. I’m trying to revamp the book list for my multi-cultural literature course and I’ve seen The Life of Pi on several lists. So on a long road trip up to Northern Michigan I thought why not give the audio book a chance? So why do I like it? I like it because I enjoy travel […]
Faith+Food+Focus+Friends+Fitness= Good Health
I hardly read any non-fiction. But when I do, it’s usually about food, health, fitness, or historical. Lately I’ve noticed that my tastes have gone more towards fitness and health. Previously I had read the books, Clean and Clean Gut, by Dr. Alejandro Junger. These two books made me reflect on the relationship between what I eat and how it affects other systems in my body outside of digestion. Since those two books, I’ve had my eye out for other books that are similar; relating […]
Slaying the Hydra, Or Becoming Debt-free
My wife and I have been trying to untangle ourselves from the mountain of debt with which college and graduate school has encumbered us. We’ve adapted some of Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover principles, but it feels like we’re in the one step forward, two steps backwards. Which brings me to Slaying the Debt Dragon. I don’t remember where I saw the book but I was intrigued. Cherie Lowe blogged about her family’s experience getting out of debt and has taken the blog and made […]
She’s BAAAACK. A Look at Friendships Through the Eyes of Animals. Laughs Ensue.
Last year I stumbled across a humorous tome, The Little World Of Liz Climo and was amazed at how so much humor could be packed into a such short comics. I’m delighted to share with you Ms. Climo’s latest work, Lobster is the Best Medicine. I was honored to be contacted by Ms. Was to receive a review copy in exchange for an honest review. I’ve never received an ARC, although I sign up for those giveaways on Goodreads ALL THE TIME. The odds are […]
Cannonball!!! And With Saga To Boot
I’m all caught up on Saga, now. Which should be a good thing. But I’m not feeling so joyful. I now have to wait for the next volume to come out. Whenever that is. The silver lining is that I don’t have to worry about spoilers and I feel like I’m now “in” with the Saga fans since I’ve read them all as they came out. Now to just find a comic-con. Volume 5 still continues the well thought out plots and character developments that […]
No Your Mom’s Romance Novel
This is only the second time I’ve read Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice. I’m grateful to say that I enjoyed the book so much better than on the first. The story of a landed gentry family from Hertfordshire who is trying to marry off their five daughters and raise their social status. Social and political pitfalls ensue. One of the things I enjoy about plot is that Ms. Austen adroitly captures the complicated relationship between parents and their adult children. The oldest daughters, Jane and […]
