Good book. Funny how modern-day authors list so many people in their Acknowledgements. This woman listed over 100 people. Insane. Nobody wrote the book but her! She even said it takes a village to write a book. Imagine Dickens or Faulkner doing this.

This was a reread (like the 4th time) - still waiting on the next book in the series, talk about a long wait. This came out in 2007 and the 2nd book came out in 2011.



A really good storyline and one I highly recommend. The author Patrick Rothfuss knows how to draw a reader in. Not sure why such a long wait, he mentions it on his website now and then but tends to be really egotistical and sick of his fans asking. I guess one day I will now if it was worth the wait.

Either way I love a good fantasy story no matter what and I give this a strong

the guy is even in the urban dictionary:

patrick rothfuss

A person who starts a great thing but can never finish it. In other words, the worst kind of *******
I wonder if that patrick rothfuss guy will ever finish his book?

I love Chekhov.

Returned for a refund. Way more academic than I expected & loads of annoying footnotes.

Well-written. A tad confusing.

It's been a while since I last post here...

Marvel Deluxe - Capitain America Vol 1: Winter Soldier

★★★
Good arc!

Whatever one thinks of his ideas / messages Nietzsche surely could write. My personal favorite from him has been Thus Spoke Zarathustra as it's more proselike.

Zarathustra is also a masterpiece imo.

Returned this for a refund. Highly reviewed, but political memoirs are not really my thing.

Nursing memoir of a British nurse. Good book.

Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay

One of the rare occasions where I liked the film more than the book. There's nothing precisely wrong with the book either but I liked movie's dreamlike atmosphere more. Book adds little more depth to the fates of various people but overall the film is very faithful to the book.

3.5/5

Started off well as a bird’s eye view of the White House as told by a former stenographer. Quickly devolved into a day-by-day account of the romances of this young woman though why she thought anyone would find this interesting is beyond me. 100 pages in & 200 to go, I called it a night.

Murakami - The wind up bird cronicle.

I finished it, but not without difficulties. It was my first Murakami's book and probably the last.

Good cover .

That's a shame. I was surprised when I was reading Arthur Conan Doyle's Professor Challenger stories that there was a really early reference to a teleporter. Whether he was the first writer to mention such a device I don't know.

Both returned for a refund.

Re-read. Excellent book.

Just finished:





Very informative and interesting. Nice insight into natural gender differences between boys and girls.
