- The pro-death former New Jersey governor and EPA head Christine Todd Whitman is hitting the talk-show circuit to publicize her upcoming book, the title of which cracks me up: It's My Party, Too: The Battle for the Heart of the GOP and the Future of America.For a former Bush official, she sure sounds a lot like Gore. No, not Al— |

- Virginia Woolf(Nigel Nicolson, unabridged, 4 cassettes)Very revealing, succinct account of her life, written by her "nephew," the son of Vita Sackville-West. (I learned that his mother was VW's lover, and the model for Orlando). Other nuggets: That VW was molested by her half-brother; that she was sufficiently anti-semitic to boast of having the broadness of mind to marry a Jew; |

- Charlie Wilson's war : the extraordinary story of the largest covert operation in history (George Crile, 18 CDs, unabridged)Oh you masters of War! A look into a twisted heart of darkness. And, yes, this too came from Texas. Charlie Wilson (a congressman at the time) exuded charisma and sensitivity -- he famously explained why he hired beautiful women: |

- Shadows on the Hudson(I.B. Singer, unabridged, 15 cassettes [actually, it's 16 tapes, but the last was lost; this compelled me to re-read the whole book on paper)I read almost all of IB's stories and novels by 1997, and when this translation came out posthumously in 1998, it did not feel compelling to read this big book. As it turns out, this delay was a gift to my 21st century self: |

Simone Weil (Dec 17 2004 23:33 GMT) - Simone Weil(Francine Du Plessix Gray, 5 cassettes, stopped after 3)What a transcendent nut case!! Here's the profit derived from being born into a family of well-to-do genius: She masochistically praised the factory worker's suffering, smoked like a Frenchman, was wracked with migraines, and died at 34 from anorexia. |

- Gandhi: A Photo Biography(Peter Ruhe, 312 pp)Some interesting photos, and it's a continual curiosity to me how to makes sense of such a saint. Is Gandhi's independence movement to blame for the millions of Moslems and Hindus who died in the separation? The most fascinating document in this book is the mahatma's letter to Hitler, in 1939; it begins sweetly, "Dear Friend. |

- My Left Foot(Christy Brown, unabridged, 4 CDs)I'd put this in a category with Frederick Douglass's Autobiography of a Slave: Inspiring story of a man who confronts his situation with straightforward honesty and clarity. His brothers kindly named the first wagon he travelled about in his 'chariot', which exemplifies how the language of the Irish can hold such healing power in its blarney. When he outgrew that chariot, he became suddenly conscious of his abnormality, and he writes so movingly of h ... |

- Men and Cartoons: Stories(Jonathan Lethem, 4 CDs, unabridged)Very strong opening story, which first appeared in Tin House, about a guy who encounters someone he knew from grade school who had the habit of dressing as a superhero named The Vision. The other stories are variable, with astute observations here and there. The story about people who live in a traffic jam reminded me too much of Julio Cortazar's similar tale, w/o the distinctive joke of labeling all the characters as the cars they dro ... |

- The Good Terrorist(Doris Lessing, unabridged, punted after 1 cassette)This may be about terrorism, but it's basically about that flavor of English culture who need council housing and fret about socialism. I couldn't make myself care. |

- The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement(Eliyahu Goldratt, 8 cassettes, 12 hours, narratively enacted by a league of cheeseballs)This 'novel' was frequently used at Harvard Business School, and I've always been curious what its apparently self-published covers contained. The hero is an engineer in charge of a failing factory; to spice the drama, his marriage is also on the rocks. The core idea offers some value, and it is demonstrated through a couple of clearly visualized vignettes: |

- In The Final Solution, this is very much the case. It's a simple, perhaps even unremarkable Sherlock Holmes story to begin with, but it's the telling that makes it all worthwhile. If we recognize that Chabon has already mounted the summit of the fun, artsy novel, here he conquers the fun, artsy novella. He does some remarkable things with his prose; an exquisitely detailed scene of the old man working the hives, his first sight of a war-torn London, a climactic chapter written entirely from the ... |

- I have three days to write a paper comparing the realities/irrealities (with words like that I'm sure to ace it) of television news as compared to online news. Since I need secondary sources I went to the college library to look for books, something I've never done before... in about a year and half. Strange, huh? I do a lot of research in their article databases but their actual book selection never appeared that strong...... |

- Socialist (a form of Marxism)love to talk about how religion has taken so many lives. For examples, I usually hear about the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition. These are good examples of mass murder. But, these examples happened more than six hundred years ago. Who has killed more people? |
