books #1

I like the book jimmy neutron because it is really funny! shel silverstein books are good because they are funny and have good rhymes and stories.  corduroy is cute because the girl really wants the bear a lot.  moose tracks is funny because he cant figure out who left the tracks!  a pocket full of kisses is cute  because the mom racoon  kisses the baby racoon.  the bear  snores on  is funny because a lot of animals go in  it.

Twilight

Yes I have read the entire series (in one weekend) and I am hooked! They're simply written books that are quick reads ( I wished they'd lasted longer) and it's a wonderful love story. Star crossed lovers.

Now, I'm anxiously awaiting (along with my 10 year old daughter) the release of the DVD on March 21st. It can't get here soon enough for either of us!

New focus on my LonleyStar blog

I had a whole different refocus a while back.  Well that's out the window now that my other daughter has decided she wants to write about books.  From here on out.  I hope you'll enjoy what she has to say. I know I will.

What I'm reading now

MFK Fisher's The Art of Eating
A 50th anniversary edition collection of MFK Fisher's books, Serve It Forth, Consider the Oyster (my favorite), How to Cook A Wolf ( A very timely book with these tough economical times) The Gastronomical Me (in the middle of reading now) and An Alphabet for Gourmets.

This is an incredible book and I can see why all food writers look to MFK Fisher as the best food writer of all time.

Shut Up And Read

Shut Up And Read Is It Too Difficult To Pick Up A Book Once In A While?

I like Amy Stewarts writing and I had high hopes for this article, but in the end was very disappointed in Amy. I love books, and I have always had a beef with people who don't like to read. I mean really! How can you possibly not like to read? There's so many wonderful and interesting worlds you can travel to and experience inside the pages of books.

I really thought Amy was going to talk about this in her article. Talk about what it is that keeps people from reading and what we can do to help literacy, especially among the lower income families. I was sorely disappointed. This is why:

First Amy says this: "Books require us to care about someone other than ourselves. And unlike most of the other media we encounter, books are not trying to sell us anything. Reading a book allows us to step away from the culture of consumption entirely." Which I agree with whole heartedly. But then, she ends up doing this: "The holidays will be upon us soon, and I’ll roll out my perennial plea to stop in at a local independent bookstore and buy books for everyone on your holiday gift list." Then proceeds to list several bookstores with events and asking us to buy the authors books at those events. Now, I'm all for helping out authors make a few bucks, BUT! This is an article on getting people to read, especially under privileged and she's SELLING us on books. She's doing exactly what she finds repulsive about all of the media we encounter daily. Not one single mention of the library. Not one! Unbelievable! If she wants people to read, especially people who can't afford to shop at Northtown Books, why is she not promoting the Humboldt County Library? Shame on her!
