as good as it gets (Free subscription) | 10/29/2009
I'd put all those bad memories out of my mind, but while reading Strange Fits of Passion , he was all I could think about. He'd say things like, "I'll pick you up at 7 on Friday." He wouldn't ask me, he'd tell me, and in the beginning he'd say these things with a smile... and after all the shy, insecure boys I'd encountered in NY, I found his confident, take-charge attitude refreshing. His...

September Reading
Zoë's Crafts (Free subscription) | 10/20/2009
I have decided to have a monthly review of all the books I have read that month. As September was a long time ago now and I still haven't written anything about these books I will just put up the list and hope to improve on this idea for October. There are a lot of vampire stories on this list this month, in fact most of them deal with death in some way. My reading tastes are not normally like this,...

Review | A Change in Altitude
Miami Herald (Free subscription) | 10/13/2009
Anita Shreve is a bestselling novelist in large part because of the economical way she builds suspense. In the first line of her new book, a young white doctor who has arrived in Nairobi to conduct research, announces, ``We're climbing Mount Kenya.'' In those four words to his wife, he suggests the story's central questions: Why is Patrick telling Margaret, with her scant climbing experience, rather...

Lounge
Words, words, words (and phrases) (Free subscription) | 09/22/2009
The verb to lounge means to sit or recline comfortably. It can also be used in the sense of hanging around or loitering. The noun is usually used to mean an area with seating - such as a public area in a hotel or airport - or the main living room in a house. I was unaware, until I read Anita Shreve's 'The Weight of Water' that a lounge was also a sofa; an upholstered seat for more than one person.

What a Week!
Thoughts from an Evil Overlord (Free subscription) | 09/20/2009
I don't usually write a weekly or even a monthly wrap-up, but this past week seems to be calling out for recognition. For myself personally I made tons of cards, bracelets, earrings and Santa ornaments for the craft show that I am doing today. As you know it's my first time selling at a craft fair, so I am nervously excited. As I sit here writing this on Saturday night, I have everything on my checklist...
