Ray Bradbury: Fahrenheit 451

Okay so for my English Class I have to read "Fahrenheit 451" by: Ray Bradbury. I heard that it's about a place where books are banned!!! I honestly cannot imagine a world like that.

Move Over Twilight, The Brotherhood is Better!!!

So after reading all the Twilight books several times and still feeling I wanted something more I found the Black Dagger Brotherhood!!! WOW, is all I can say about the books. They are the perfect mix of the vampire action I love the steamy love scenes that Twilight had to leave out.

Fall Reading Lists

Fall for me is a great time to curl up with a good book and drink lots of tea.  Generally I try to read at lest one of the classics per month, and the rest are for guilty pleasures and whatever series I'm working on (everyone releases something near Christmas time). Strangely though this fall the only thing I have on my list is the newest Sookie Stackhouse novel Touch of Dead, and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters.

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

I discovered my enjoyment with Dan Brown books in 2000 when while preparing for a trip to Rome I came across Angels & Demons (I was looking for location based fiction).  I very much enjoyed the book the subsequent DaVinci Code and Deception Point and his previous novel Digital Fortress.  So, I was excited for the release of The Lost Symbol.

New Book!!!!!!

Dear John by Nicholas Sparks

It seems like every book I read has a movie coming out, take for example my last post, Time Traveler's Wife - which I'm excited to see! Moving on. At first, I found this book extremely monotonous.

The Five People We Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom

"Each affects the other, and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one." "It is no coincidence that the words 'trying' and 'dying' are only a few letters apart." "People often belittle the place where they were born."

Love The One You're With By Emily Giffin

"Love is the sum of our choices, the strength of our commitments, the ties that bind us together." "How different this moment feels, for so many reasons. I tell myself that no two loves are identical - but that I don't have to compare anymore."

11 Minutes

Although my aim is to understand love and although I suffer to think of the people to whom I gave my heart... I see that those who touched my heart failed to arouse my body... And those who aroused my body failed to touch my heart...

Famed Author Frank McCourt Dies at 78

FrankTeacherNEW YORK (July 20) – Frank McCourt, the beloved raconteur and former public school teacher who enjoyed post-retirement fame as the author of "Angela's Ashes," the Pulitzer Prize-winning "epic of woe" about his impoverished Irish childhood, died Sunday of cancer. McCourt, who was 78, had been gravely ill with meningitis and recently was treated for melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. He died at a Manhattan hospice, his brother Malachy McCourt said.Until his mid-60s, Frank McCourt was known primarily around New York as a creative writing teacher and as a local character — the kind who might turn up in a New York novel — singing songs and telling stories with his younger brother Malachy and otherwise joining the crowds at the White Horse Tavern and other literary hangouts.
