Counterintuitive: July 2012

Friday, July 27, 2012. A good quick read with some problems. My rating: 3 of 5 stars. A good read but not my favorite of Fossum's. While an interesting exploration of the nature of pedophilia, often the dialog between Sejer and Skarre, the central detectives of the series, feels forced, created merely to further the philosophical debate about pedophilia. For example,. Why are they mainly men? The definition of paraphilia was necessary? View all my reviews. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. A wonderful quest story...

Counterintuitive: October 2012

Friday, October 26, 2012. A Spot of Bother. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. Haddon does not shy away from the dark forces of suffering. Early on from George's point of view we get this:. He fell violently ill. Sweat was pouring from beneath his hair and from the backs of his hands. He was going to die. How in God's name had he not noticed this before? And how did others not notice it? How did they saunter through their days unaware of this indigestible fact? We have it good! View all my reviews.

Counterintuitive: January 2013

Saturday, January 19, 2013. The truly realistic fiction of Judy Blume. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. It was a painful read; yet a story we must be more honest about. I wasn't a 100% sold on the ending. I get it that Blume didn't want to tidy everything up: have Jill become friends with Linda or have everyone embrace in a communal hug. But.I was left somewhat emotionally flat. Maybe that's my issue as so much fiction gives a forced emotional ending. View all my reviews. Saturday, January 12, 2013.

Thursday, December 29, 2011. Good American mystery writing? A Cold Day for Murder. My rating: 2 of 5 stars. Having started my mystery/detective reading with the Scandanavians has (I'm afraid) set me up for disappointment as I now attempt some Americans. I didn't hate this book but, to give a sense of my overall engagement, I actually couldn't remember if I had finished it. View all my reviews. Wednesday, December 28, 2011. Just Good-E-nough: The tie the BINDS. The Tie That Binds. My rating: 3 of 5 stars.

Thursday, September 24, 2009. If the Brown House Blows Up, the Two Next to it Will Also Blow Up, but You Should Be Fine. This can't be good. My husband goes over to see what's going on, and apparently there is a main gas line leak somewhere in the neighbor's front yard. Seeing as 3 houses were evacuated, my husband asks if we should leave too. "We have 4 kids," he tells the Questar guy. The Questar guy reassures him that our house and our persons are not in danger. Tuesday, September 8, 2009. Dressers ar...

Antistrophe719: What Are We Thinking? The First of Many Rants
http://antistrophe719.blogspot.com/2009/12/what-are-we-thinking-first-of-many.html
Tuesday, December 29, 2009. What Are We Thinking? The First of Many Rants. A woman clings to her window seat. 25 billion people do not have clean drinking water. (Worldwide, waterborne illness is the leading cause of death among children.). A nation obsesses over the sex life of a golfer. An entire continent is ravaged by war, poverty, hunger, and illness. Hollywood spends millions on an awards ceremony- and keeps creating MORE awards ceremonies. (BTW, where are the awards ceremonies for parents? I do no...
