Fellowship of the Ring

Mhmmm, the love of Tolkien begins...after so many years. For the first time, I understood it all. For the first time, I loved it all.
In Fellowship, I fell in love with the Shire, and I fell in love with a hobbits love of simplicity.
In Fellowship I fell in love with the Rangers of the North and their love of the hunt.
In Fellowship I fell in love with Galadriel.
In Fellowship, I fell in love. :)

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay

Wow. What can I say? One of the best books Ive ever read, plus I was also introduced to an amazing character!! Joe Kalavier is his name, drawing is his game! Seriously though, I loved him. I dont know how to describe what his character meant to me, and what this book overall meant to me. Superheroes, art, love, magic, hope, loss...yes, it was an AMAZING Adenture!!!!!

A Thousand Splendid Suns

It only took me a few days to read this book. Beautifully written and what an amazing story. Khaled Hosseini is an amazing storyteller.
I know that the Kite Runner got a ton of press when it was released, but honestly, I prefer this one to the Kite Runner. I LOVED it!

After Hours

I had always wanted to read something by this author. :) And this one was a weird one to start with. The book is incredibly bizarre and it follows 3 seperate stories with a few coincidences. In one, a girl runs into someone she knows at a late night diner. She is just trying to read and he comes over to her table because he recognizes her as his ex girlfriends sister. They hit it off then someone needs to her to transalate something for someone in a love hotel and she spends the rest of the night there.
The other story line is the girls sister who is sleeping in room and it pretty much revolves around that only it gets really creepy.
And the third story line follows a business man.
The author has a BEAUTIFUL style of writing, but I couldnt get past the weird themes his storylines played around.
I would like to read something by him again, though.

Some People, Some Other Place

Mmhmm, ok. I picked this up because the picture on the cover of this book is probably one of my favourite photographs of all time. The street, the car. We used to have a 1949 Chrysler Highlander and I used to dream about it all the time. Not dream about it when I fell asleep, but wide awake. I would dream about a time in the 50's when this car would be around. I would wonder if James Dean ever saw this car, etc. Silly dreams like that. Yes yes, I love that picture. A week ago, I was in a bookstore cemeted to the poetry section and the man next to me had a pile of books. I look at him and asked to see a book in his stack without actually saying anything. His eyes said yes. The book in the stack was a book of photographs with this one of the cover.
And then he and I talked about photography for a little while. :)
This book however, came to me in a period where I immersed myself the civil rights movement without trying to. It was written really well though it bummed me out. It isnt something I would normally pick out for myself though...that darn cover moved me!

Life Of Pi

Oh Pi, it was lovely re-reading your adventure. Thank you.

Le Città Invisibili

Mmhm, this book was lovely. I felt like this book was more imagination than book. If I look back on this book, I remember images like dreams caught in the swirls of my imagination.
I must re-read this one. A chapter right before bed, see what happens.
