Heroes For My Daughter - Brad Meltzer What a sweet book. Love the people he picked as heroes to teach his daughter about life and the power of the human spirit. Short, to the point, stories of the accomplishments of a wide variety of women, men, and kids.

MK is not a particularly riveting stand-alone read. If it I didn't *have* to read extracts for research then I wouldn't be reading it (again - I read it as a teenager just because I could! )

Passionate Detachments: An Introduction to Feminist Film Theory by Sue Thornham. Just a re-reading for the nuances I may have forgotten from earlier reads.

Calico Joe - John Grisham "A surprising and moving novel of fathers and sons, forgiveness and redemption, set in the world of major league baseball." Sweet story. If you like baseball, sweet stories, the Cubs and/or Mets from 1973, or Arkansas, you might enjoy this. I liked it tho it brought back memories of Red Sox outfielder Tony Conigliaro, a young man who seemed destined for greatness in baseball until August 18, 1967 when the 24 year old, 5th year pro was beaned by Angels pitcher Jack Hamilton. Tony sustained a fractured cheekbone, dislocated jaw, and severe damage to his left retina. Tho he was eventually able to comeback to play, he was never the same and was forced to retire due to the permanent damage to his eyesight. Not all was for naught tho. Tony still holds the MLB record for most home runs (25) hit by a teenage player. He is the second-youngest player to hit his 100th homer (after Mel Ott in 1931), and the youngest American League player to do so. His beaning spurred the use of the ear flap on helmets in MLB. Since 1990, the Tony Conigliaro Award is given annually to the player who best overcomes an obstacle and adversity through the attributes of spirit, determination and courage that were trademarks of Conigliaro. Unfortunately, Tony died in 1990 at the age of 45. He had suffered a heart attack and a stroke shortly there after. He remained in a vegetative state for 8 years before his death. One pitch forever changed the lives of 2 men. Jack Hamilton never fully recovered, either --- unwilling to pitch inside for fear of severely injuring another batter, Hamilton's strikeout rate declined, his opponents' batting average rose, and his earned run average soared. He retired in 1969.

Capote, a biography, by Gerald Clarke In cold blood, by Truman Capote Wild, by Cheryl Strayed I love coming in here as it gives me more ideas for books to read. I have a whole list of books to choose from. Happy reading everyone!

I couldn't even finish the new Augusten Burroughs book. Maybe I just didn't get it, but I think he's being serious and trying to offer real self-help advice.... except he comes of as soooo cynical and inept that it's like George Costanza from Seinfeld has taken possession of Dr. Wayne Dyer. Burroughs has his catty queen moments, which is maybe what he was going for, but he takes himself far too seriously and it ends up coming off as preachy and irritating. Have you ever been subjected to the ramblings of a drunk at 2 AM, and you're stone cold sober? You know how they're so certain and declarative, and sure that every word they say is so profound and meaningful... but the logic is so circular and redundant, and really, they're just annoying as hell? Yeah, that's this book.
Instead of finishing the Augusten Burroughs book (even the title is too annoying to retype here), I read Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. Good quick read, lots of interesting depression-era historical facts, but it doesn't really live up to the hype. Maybe that's unfair, though- without the expectations that came from all the hype, I'd have no complaints. Last night I downloaded Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith. I haven't started it yet- I'm still laughing at myself for even buying it. But dammit, the movie trailer actually looks good!!

Lord of the Two Lands by Judith Farr
Lord of the Two Lands is firmly based in the history of Alexander the Great, and steeped in the rich sun drenched magics of ancient Egypt. Cannot put this book down. Love anything about Egypt!
