The Help is a beautiful story of women I know. I have lived in a small southern town all of my life and I can only say that these women still exist.

Not only was The Help a trip down memory lane, it was a shock to realize that these lines kept women from sharing the simple comfort of talking with each other. The lines were drawn based simply on race and nothing more.

This is a wonderful book that made me ask, “What would life have been like if the lines were different?”

Got the Kindle yesterday, along with my new cover. I’m already loving it! I was coming from a Sony PRS-505, and did months of research to find the best reader. I looked at the Nook, the Sony Touch and Daily, and even the iPad (more on that later.) The main reason I bought it however, is the ability to use Whispernet in Europe. I travel to Italy 2-3 times a year to see family, and thus I was looking for a device where I could receive the Wall Street Journal to keep up on what’s going on in the U.S.. I mentioned I looked at an iPad. Sure it looks cool, but my primary reason for getting a device to read books is, well, to read books! To get a comparable iPad, I would need the $629 version ($700 with taxes) and a $25 a month data plan from AT&T (which isn’t even unlimited anymore, have you seen how fast the iPad uses data!?). To use it in Europe, I would need to pay $200 (!!!???) for 200MB of data, which would last about 1 day at the most. Another wonderful thing about the Kindle is the size. The iPad weighs 1.5lbs, or about 24ozs, while the Kindle weighs I believe around 12. This makes it extremely easy to carry around. The last thing I absolutely love is WhisperSync. I can read a book on my Kindle, pick up where I left off on my BlackBerry Bold, and even keep reading at the same spot on my laptop!

I recently got the TomTom 730 and the suction cup kept falling off the windshield. Like all the others said, this is very stiff, but is made to a perfect length and doesn’t come off the windshield. I’ve had this for several weeks now, not once has it come off or moved!! It’s easy to reach when driving and makes the tomtom much easier to use! I read the reviews, and I’m in line with everyone else, this works great for the tomtom!!

Visiting friends in US for an extended period, so in order to cut down on luggage weight, wanted to order a charger to be delivered to my friend’s house.
I read some of the reviews here, and did think there was a chance that it would not work on my phone, but for such a bargain price, it was worth the chance.

Anyway, it arrived super quick, and just wanted to write a quick note, to again confirm that it does work on iPhone 3G with no probs at all.
What a bargain!!

Water for Elephants is an interesting text because it is not especially well written, the story is pure soap opera, and yet it is an enjoyable read that at times evokes a long gone era. I think it suffers from overly effusive praise and so many readers are bitterly disappointed once they get through it.
First, let’s look at the strengths of the novel. I enjoyed the evocations of circus and train life. Gruen clearly spent some time working on these descriptions of circus life and there are little Depression era details that were nice historical jewels for the reader to mine. Also effective was her characterization of old Jacob. His voice was witty and biting and he provided the most pleasure of any character in the text. Chapter nineteen of the novel is the saddest depiction of rest home life I have read in literature. A man is forgotten by his family, and the scene is heartbreaking.
Now to examine the reasons why this book is unsatisfying. First off the characters from the 1930s parts of the novel are some of the weakest characterizations I have seen in a book in a long time. They are stock characters at best, and the villains are the mustache twirling men from melodrama. It is hard to care about any of the characters because they are so transparently fake. Even more distracting then the weak characterization is the incredibly insipid (and modern sounding) dialogue Gruen puts in their mouths. She has such nice historical details in the setting of the text, why couldn’t she also use it in the dialogue?
Many readers have found the ending unsatisfying, and although it is ridiculous, it fits the novel so I won’t argue with it. The cloying depiction of animals is also a little beyond the pale, but again, I simply had to come to terms with the novel for what it is. It is popular fiction. It is a melodrama you will get caught up in. And for those purposes it is adequate. Don’t go into it expecting more than what it is capable of giving and you will be satisfied.

When I was in high school, and that was many years ago, I clearly remember our literature teacher having problems with classifying this book to any genre. We had to read it, and most of the classmates grumbled. Yet, most of the classmates were girls, I should mention, and they were infatuated with a book called `Cry, The beloved country’. So we were kind of divided, we, the boys, preferred Holden, even though we found him harsh to read, never to admit it, because we just did not want to discuss the book which the girls liked. Anyway, I still do not think that `The Catcher in the Rye’ belongs to any kind of literature that deserves to be taught in high schools, because this book is disturbingly one of a kind. Nevertheless, after all these years I read it again, and I have discovered that it does have a genre, perhaps not an acceptable one, but it does belong to a certain category. I would put it under the category of `Revolutions’. At first the reader is kind of recoiled by the persistent complaints exclaimed by the hero. Today, I could compare it to a diary of any ordinary self absorbed profoundly disturbed Scandinavian urchin. But Holden, despite of being the most antagonizing protagonist I have ever read about, is not the seemingly anarchist type. Despite his anarchistic tendencies, Holden is a rebel with a dream; a vision even. Unlike the ordinary post traumatic stress disordered and self absorbed Scandinavian urchin one may confuse him with, Holden is actually dreaming about saving the world. The children that he wanted to catch and save from death in the rye field are the children of the future. Salinger, through Holden is the real dreamer; Aye, Salinger the author is clearly the real rebel, and it does not surprise me it was such a success in the sixties and seventies. The spirit of revolutions blew in the air then, and some of the warnings Holden talk about is of the dangers of becoming corrupt. I believe that if Salinger tried to publish this book today, it
