Milk is a 2008 film, that was directed by Gus Van Sant and stars Sean Penn, Emile Hirsch, James Franco, and Josh Brolin.Using flashbacks from a statement recorded late in life and archival footage for atmosphere, this film traces Harvey Milk's career from his 40th birthday to his death. He leaves the closet and New York, opens a camera shop that becomes the salon for San Francisco's growing gay community, and organizes gays' purchasing power to build political alliances. He runs for office with lover Scott Smith as his campaign manager. Victory finally comes on the same day Dan White wins in the city's conservative district. The rest of the film sketches Milk's relationship with White and the 1978 fight against a statewide initiative to ban gays and their supporters from public school jobs.Milk was nominated for countless awards, and won 2 Oscars for original screenplay and lead actor, Penn's second win. It was also nominated for picture, director, and supporting actor (Brolin).Not to be confused with the drink, nor with the film Milk Money.

Percy and Annabeth Ch. 3Percy's PoV. Chapter 3. When we got to the pavilion, Annabeth and I got in line for lunch."Sit with me, at Athena's table.""But.. that's against the rules." I countered. I would've except..."Since when do you follow the rules! You've snuck away from Camp to go on like 10 quests that didn't involve you." She said scooping up mashed potatoes into her tray."Fine.. It's just your brothers and sisters.. They look like they're going to plot against me and kill me or something." My face got hot.She laughed and went to put some food into the furnace, then walked to her table.I put food in for Poseidon, as usual. I stared at the fire then threw some in for Aphrodite too. (Hey, why not.) I walked to my empty table to eat alone again. I've gotten used to it though.When I finished eating I threw my tray away and started walking to my cabin.As force of habit, I glanced at Annabeth. She was staring at me too and I felt my face immediately get h
Percy and Annabeth Ch. 4Percy's PoV. Chapter 4! "Annabeth!" I yelled, completely flustered. Everyone was laughing, when I looked down and my boxers were light blue with dark blue hearts on them. What the Hades? I never knew I owned a pair of these!I saw Chiron galloping toward us, with Mr. D behind reading his Wine Monthly magazine."What's all the noise here?" He boomed, then turned to me and saw the situation. Mr. D simply said "Cute underwear, Peter Johnson." And continued to read his magazine.I gave a look to Chiron then beckoned my head toward Annabeth who was cracking up with my clothes. Chiron nodded."Miss Chase, give Percy's clothes back please. Before you take his pride too." Someone from the Ares cabin said "Too late" and they all cackled like hyenas.Annabeth tossed me my clothes and I ran to my cabin and locked the door. I could still hear them laugh, and I turned dark red and started putting my clothes back on then sunk my face deep into a pillow cursing "Di i
Percy and Annabeth Ch. 35Annabeth's PoV. Chapter 35. I went to dinner then went to bed right after. I wonder why Percy got so tired all of sudden; must be the arrow... Eros is a jerk.¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤I rubbed my eyes as I woke up. There next to my bed was Percy, really close to my face."Good morning, Annabeth!" He kissed me and helped me up."Isn't it a wonderful day today! I love you." He kissed me again."Oh no..." I mumbled. The arrow was taking affect."Come on, we have to go to breakfast because you need to eat." He pushed me in the bathroom and threw me some of my clothes. I changed quickly and brushed my teeth. Percy was waiting right outside the bathroom door. He took my hand and we walked to the food pavilion."You're so beautiful. You don't need to walk, that would tire you." He suddenly picked me up bridal style and carried me the rest of the way."Percy, you really don't nee-" I began to
Percy and Annabeth Ch. 8Annabeth's PoV (This will be fun ). Chapter 8. I laughed quietly at the thought of Seaweed Brain and I in a boat alone. At night, so we could see the stars... That would be so romantic... I mean, uh... Scratch that. Percy wouldn't know romantic if it hit him flat in the face. Which I literally do sometimes.After he walked to his cabin to sleep, I went to mine. I opened the door slowly so I wouldn't wake up my siblings. Of course Malcolm heard me and whispered, "Hey Annabeth, where ya been?" Some other people groaned."I was... busy." I didn't want them to know about the quest because some of them would ask if they could come. Which they totally could, but I wanted to be alone with Percy..."With Peeerrrrrcy?" He made kissing sounds."Shut up, Malcolm." And I went to the bathroom to put on a tank top and sleep shorts.When I finished changing I jumped into my bottom bunk and fell asleep thinking of just me, Percy, and the water surrounding us.¤
Percy and Annabeth Ch. 26Percy's PoV. Chapter 26. When we reached my apartment, I opened the door to find my mom with Paul in the kitchen."Hey mom, Paul." I greeted them."Woah Percy, we send you out for one summer and you come back with two pretty girls?" Paul chuckled reading his newspaper, my mom nudged him."Uh, this is Annabeth. And this is... Calypso." That woke Paul up."Calypso? F-from the myths? Woah!" Paul stood up and started a conversation with her while I went to my mom. Annabeth greeted her, sat on the sofa and pulled out a book.My mom raised an eyebrow and looked at Calypso then back at me."Mom, you know how in the myths Calypso was stuck on an island for eternity? I freed her after our battle with Kronos and now she needs a place to stay." My mom nodded."We have nowhere else for her to sleep except on the sofa though." She looked at Calypso."Excuse me, um, Calypso? How old are you?" My mom tried to say that as soft as she could. Calypso looked up,
Percy and Annabeth Ch. 36Annabeth's PoV. Chapter 36. I whispered to Chiron about everything the Aphrodite girl told me. He nodded and stroked his beard."You can tell him that..." Chiron said."But I would be lying and his heart would break. He'll never speak to me again." I said sadly. Percy was playing with my hair mindlessly."You should go back and ask that girl how long we have until the spell becomes permanent." He said still stroking his beard, deep in thoughts. I nodded and started to walk. I turned and saw Percy following me."You have to stay here. Okay?" I spoke like he was a little kid. He frowned and looked like he might cry."Please, for me." I said reassuringly. He put his head down and stalked back to Chiron.I found the girl still at Archery."Hey," I realized I didn't know her name."Mandy." She said."Mandy. How long does Percy have until Eros' spell is permanent?" She looked around as if the answer were floating somewhere."Er... I don't really know, sorry. I think i
Percy and Annabeth Ch. 18Percy's PoV. Chapter 18. "WHAT?" I accidentally said too loud, making some other patients groan and some people outside stare at me. "Staring is rude!" I yelled at some of them.I ran over to Thalia sitting by Annabeth's cot."Feel her hand! Feel her hand!" She pushed my hand towards Annabeth's.I held her hand in mine. It was warm. I could've sworn she was ice just minutes ago. I started crying tears of joy. Oh gods help me."Annabeth?" Thalia and I both said in unison, looking at Annabeth.Annabeth flickered her eyes open."Annabeth!" Thalia and I both yelled again, both of us crying from joy.Annabeth suddenly broke into a fit of coughing and barfed up water on the floor and some blood.I dripped some nectar into her mouth which she swallowed slowly and lied back down, panting.Thalia hugged her and mumbled some stuff. Too long, I got impatient and hugged Annabeth too, squishing Thalia."Hey!" Thalia groaned, pushing me away so she could get out of the sandwi
Percy and Annabeth Ch. 10Annabeth's PoV. Chapter 10. I walked over to my cabin to change. Everybody was already up, they were all staring at me coming out of Percy's cabin. I glared at whoever stared and they looked away fast. I laughed at myself whenever they did it.I walked in and changed into a gray Camp shirt and denim shorts. Then I walked fast to the food pavilion for breakfast before our 'quest'. I don't think this is actually even a quest, Artemis was using Percy to get her bow because it was dangerous in the open seas with Poseidon. She was using him to do her dirty work.When I got there, Percy was already sitting at his table eating food. I grabbed a tray of food, burned some for Athena, and sat down next to him."Hey" I greeted him."Good morning, sunshine." He smiled and waved his hand over his hair; his way of telling me my hair was a mess. I combed my hair with my hands and started eating my food.Mr. D passed us and grumbled, "Back to your table, Annie-bell Chaff." I si
Percy and Annabeth Ch. 22Percy's PoV. Chapter 22. I was walking back to my cabin when the Stoll brothers stopped me."Hey, hey Percy. Can you do us a favor?" Travis asked."What." I said coldly. It made them flinch a little."Can you go to the gas station down the street and get us some chips? Chiron sort of grounded us to our cabin after a last prank..." Connor said. I nodded and they gave me 5 mortal dollars and a bag of drachma."There's 50 in there. Come back with the chips and we'll give you 20 more." They said and walked off.¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤I was walking back to Camp with the chips when I saw some sprinklers. Should I Iris-Message Annabeth? I wanted to tell her I was sorry...I shone my flashlight on the mist to make a rainbow and threw a drachma through it."Oh Iris, goddess of the Rainbow, accept my offering. Annabeth Chase, Camp Half-Blood."Then Annabeth appeared. She was crying silently in
Percabeth 4 ever part 4Annabeth's Pov. I planned tonight differently in my dreams and plans. I dreamed of dinner at a 5 star restaurant, then a moon light walk on the beach but now, because of Percy and the necklace in my hands, I don't want any of that."Percy, this must have cost a fortune. " I exclaimed after I had stared down at the diamond owl necklace in my lap." It would have cost a fortune if I didn't know a certain forge god." Percy told me."Heph helped you?" I asked him."No, I know another forge god." Percy exclaimed. " Yes Heph helped me. Without him you would have got a necklace out of a vending machine in front of Walmart." He smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile." Thanks. Its amazingly beautiful." I kissed him."Do you want me to put it on you?" He asked me."That would be great." He lifted my hair from my neck with one hand as he took the necklace from me with the other. His hands were warm and smooth on my neck.Soo gentle. I never
Percabeth 4 ever part 9Annabeth's pov. I went and did what I told Percy I would. Then after I got evil death stares from my family I rushed over to Percy's cabin, my bag in my hand. I was so happy. I was going to marry the love of my life and now we weren't going to be apart but as I walked into his cabin that joy started to turn to misery and rage.Percy wasn't there and in his place was my mother. " Oh Annabeth my dear. How good to see you." My mother greeted me."Where's Percy? I was suppose to meet him back here." I asked her."Oh Percy left. I came down to try to stop him but he left anyways.""No Percy wouldn't have done that. He wanted me to go with him." I stated. I think I was telling myself more then her."He gave me this note to give to you." I looked ti her outstretched hand and there was a folded up paper.I snatched it out of her hand and read it.- Dear Annabeth, I must learn to live wit
Percabeth 4 ever part 26Annabeth's Pov. When I saw Riptide out I knew he sensed someone was here. He onced told me that when a monster or I with my cap on, the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. Then I thought he was full of crap, now I wish I took him seriously then. His eyes scanned the land in front of him. I know what he was looking for and why was I so stupid?I didnt cover my footsteps! He saw them walking from my cabin. His face seemed to relax but he didnt put away Riptide. His eyes didnt relax either. They were still bloodshot red. Making the beautiful green fade away."Who ever you are, come out now." Percy ordered. Before now I thought that his voice was sexy. When he would taunt a monster or flirt with me. Now Im terrified of it. Percy is not a person to mess with. You dont want to be the person on the other end of Riptide.He took a step forward and I took one back. The sand beneath my foot crunched and Percys eyes fell to where
Percabeth forever 32Percys pov. It took 2 weeks for Annabeth to open her eyes. Another week to be able to move around and another 3 months before she was realeased from the hospital. I took the boys up there every day when she was able to hold them and feed them. Roo came up a couple times but I know that she doesnt have the best relationship with Annabeth at the moment.I understand that too. Roo still believes that Annabeth left me. Roo told me that it hurt her to see me in the state I was those first 3 years without Annabeth, that she could remember. She knows that it was because Annabeth faked her death I was like that. Roo just knows too much for her own good. Having two girls with brains like Athena has been hurting my brain. Hopefully the boys take after me and dont have Athena in them. If they do I dont think I will be able to survive another 18 years of this.Matt and Andy took my eyes. Just like Roo. I guess Annabeth is the only grey eyed person in our family. The boys got Anna
Percabeth 4 ever 1Percy's point of view.It has been 5 years since I saved the world. Camp life is amazing and I don't think it can get any better. Annabeth and I have been together for the past 5 years and I can't get over how lucky I am.Thinking back 9 years ago when I first met Annabeth I never thought that she befriend me, yet alone begin to like me enough to become my girlfriend.Today is my 21st birthday and also my and Annabeth's 5 year anniversary. You see 5 years ago to the day, after we came from Mt. Olympus, or a.k.a the Empire state building, Annabeth and I became more then friends. Lately I have come to know that I am love with her.Annabeth told me to meet her on the beach at sunset. I didn't know what she had instore for me but I just couldn't wait. She asked me not to come and see her all day today and I miss her stormy gray eyes and her wavy blonde hair. I just miss seeing her.I can never get over how beautiful Annabeth really is. Even during the siege five years ago I found my mi
Percy Jackson and Annabeth 5Percy Jackson and Annabeth I just had to find somewhere to think and just relax. Annabeth looked terrible, not because of her apearence, but she looked terrible, like she hadn't gotten enough sleep in months. I swam to the bottom of what looked like a boulder. I sat down on it and watched the light of the sun light uo the entire ocean. My face was dry, and my clothes were dry also, my fingers moved like a spiders legs in the water I've come to know so clearly. After all the problems this camp has had over the time I've been here, this summer looked like a good one for camp but I don't know if I'll like it. I thought about it for a while, Grover was gone saving the wild, Thalia was still with the hunters, Tyson was in the forges, Juniper wasn't an option, Annabeth....she looked li
Percy and Annabeth 2 Chap. 88 . Amy Weirds Me Out"Nico!" I yelled, and Nico reacted instantly, his face turning quickly away from Amy's."What the heck!" I cried, shaking my head with an incredulous face. His black, messy hair was even more out of place than usual, now that Amy had ruined it with her hand. Her face was scarlet, her hair out of place too. Nico's hand slowly crept back to his side, his arm sliding from behind Amy's back to his lap.My eyes narrowed at his action, and he grinned sheepishly. I had to save the moment definitely had to save it. Just wait for it. I glanced at Annabeth, her face a deadly mask of calm. It was as if she had ridden herself of emotions."Man, Percy," Nico said, embarrassed, and hopped off of Zeus's fist, landing softly after a twenty feet fall.It didn't surprise me that the distance didn't affect him at all. He had practically used the shadows to bend around him. His own form of teleportation, except we could see him.I quickly stalked forward, my fist re
Percy Jackson Annabeth Chase 1It was Percys first day back at Camp Half Blood; he came back three weeks later than the date when the other campers came back. Everyone was concerned if he wasnt coming back ever again, or he had died. Percy received great welcome backs from the campers, but he couldnt find his closer friends, his friends he wanted to see the most. After unpacking his stuff in cabin three, he went to go search for his friend Annabeth. He checked everywhere he could before the conch horn blew, telling the campers it's time for lunch. He looked at the Athena table to see if Annabeth was there, but she was nowhere to be seen. After lunch he walked down to the beach to relax for a bit. He lies in the sand with his feet touching the surf."Hey there Seaweed Brain," he sat up and turned to see who talked, it was Annabeth.He quickly stood up, and said, "Hey."They gave each other a welcome back, hug and sat down on the sand together. "I've been looking for you all day, wise girl." She blushed, and said, "So
Percy Jackson Annabeth Chase 2"What are you doing here?" He asked."We need to talk." They sat on the bed. "Listen Percy, you really need to fix what you did to Annabeth.""And what did I do that needs to be fixed?""Are you joking? You seriously don't know what you did to her? You were the one that admitted to her that you liked her, so you two went out last summer. And now you are hitting on some Aphrodite girl. Wow Percy, you are so clueless.""She's the one that wanted a break.""She just needed to think, but she never said anything about having a break. You just assumed that you two weren't going out.""I thought that, because she wouldn't even go on a date with me.""Did it ever occur to you that she was unable to?"He thought about it for a sec, and then realized how much of an idiot he really was. "Come on, we're going to go talk to her." Thalia said, pulling him towards the door. Together they walked back to the amphitheater, where they are having the camp sing along. "Wait here," she told him and she was
Percy and Annabeth Ch. 30Percy's PoV. Chapter 30. I ran to Calypso screaming in her chains. I uncapped Riptide along the way and slashed right through the chains; like scissors with paper. I knew what Athena was doing.After I cut her chains off I pushed her heavily out of the way of the deadly traps. Then I sprinted to Annabeth. I tried cutting the chains like I did with Calypso but it was no good- not even a scratch on the chains. I tried pulling on them and the- the saw bladed got closer. I pushed Annabeth down and covered her with my body. I spotted a lock at the very bottom of the chains. I smashed Riptide against the lock several times and it broke open. Then I pushed Annabeth out of the way, taking her spot in the death traps. Just as I felt the saw blades rip my shirt sleeves to pieces and the spikes graze my back, the traps turned to golden dust."Why'd you save her first!" Annabeth suddenly screamed at me, flailing her arms around, punching me. I grabbed her

**Six of my mainstream poems were published in the second issue of Stormcloud Poets
Six of my poems, a mix of old and new works, were published in the second issue of Storm Cloud Poets magazine. These poems are:
-Appetite for construction, a versework about a poet writing his way toward his best self;
-Loneliness (suburban 03 mix), about a restless, couch-surfing young man seeking some sense of "home" in a Pacific Northwest city;
-Orphan Andy's, a heartfelt and briefly flirty piece about two exes - now time-tested friends - hanging out in the poem-titular San Francisco diner;
-Pens, I - III*, a poem that brings together three writing-impetus microverses, penned in successive decades, 1990s - present;
-Products*, in which an adolescent combusts at the thought of submitting to his parents' ways (as well as corporatized adulthood);
-Shaking the northern spheres*, a work that recalls a Gothic-themed road trip with a restless friend in the early 1990s.
Thanks, once again, to editor/author E.S. Wynn (a.k.a. Earl S. Wynn) for including my work in this poetry collection - it's an honor to work with such an accomplished and inspiring word-conjurer.
If you have the time and are so inclined, pick up a copy of Stormcloud Poets #2 now!

Images of America: San Francisco's Marina District, by Dr. William Lipsky
(pb; 2004: nonfiction)
From the back cover:
"When driving into San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge, the sweeping vistas and greenery gradually give way to the city's charming and inviting Marina District. This area is. . . one of San Francisco's most picturesque and best-known neighborhoods and is famous for its aesthetic and historic appeal. Adjacent to the Presidio, the Golden Gate, and Chrissy Fields, the Marina hosts a large number of Art Deco structures and the famed Palace of Fine Arts, a resplendent collection of buildings originally designed for the Panama Pacific International Exposition of 1915 [a.k.a. PPIE]. The exposition was held to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal, but also to show the world that San Francisco had recovered from the 1906 earthquake. The Marina rose from the site of the Pan Pacific to become one of the city's most desirable and recognizable districts, known for its architecture, culture and dramatic waterfront settings.
"Only a short time ago, much of the Marina was again damaged by the 1989 earthquake. This. . . collection of 200 vintage photos and other visual memorabilia celebrates the district's history, beauty and resilience. Compiled by city historian Dr. William Lipsky, these images show a neighborhood that is worthy of the recognition it has garnered through the years as a unique showcase of San Francisco."
When I checked Marina out from my local library, I was going to read it, not read and review it. It was meant as a quick-break read from my usual itinerary of fiction and more serious-minded books. However, Marina's historical facts, previously unseen images, to-the-point-not-tourist-guide-giddy writing and my love of this city made me want to share this with fellow readers and fellow Californians. This is a worthwhile book to read - and own, if purchased used - if you especially appreciate San Francisco or like books of this genre.

The Green Eagle Score, by Richard Stark (a.k.a. Donald E. Westlake)
(pb; 1967, 2010: tenth novel in the Parker series. Foreword by Dennis Lehane.)
From the back cover:
"Here's Parker—planning to steal the entire payroll of an Air Force base in upstate New York, with help from Marty Fusco, fresh out of the pen, and a smart aleck finance clerk named Devers. Holed up with family in a scrappy little town, the hoisters prepare for the risky job by trying to shorten the odds. But the ice is thinner than Parker likes to think—and Marty's ex-wife is much more complicated."
Green is another lean, machine-precise and entertaining entry in the Parker series. This time out, the spanner in the works is one of Parker's crew members' ex-wives (Ellen Fusco) and her psychiatrist (Fred Godden) who provide the spanner elements in Parker's otherwise clockwork endeavors. Great, burn-through read, followed by The Black Ice Score.

Fear the Reaper, edited by Joe Mynhardt
(eBook; 2013: horror anthology)
Overall review:
Good mainstream horror anthology, worth owning.
Standout stories:
1.) "Stumps" - Jeff Strand: Darkly funny story about a man who seeks immortality and finds it.
2.) "Death Squared" - Rena Mason: Two boys' friendship is tested when they visit a death site and encounter something more than ghosts. The scenes will be familiar to those well-versed in ghost works, but the writing is fun and solid.
3.) "The Death Catcher" - Robert S. Wilson: Especially well-written and real-world plausible (within the context of this work) tale about a man whose ability to resurrect the dying brings heartache as well as relief.
4.) "Cedo Looked Like People" - E.C. McMullen Jr.: A boy's strange next door night- and day-divided neighbors make for equally strange - and later disturbing - friendships. This Ray Bradbury-esque is one of the most memorable and one of the more original stories I've read in a long time.
5.) "The Tubes" - Jeremy C. Shipp: This is one of my favorite works in this anthology. In a not-quite-bizarro science fictional world, death's dominion is political. Like the preceding story, this one is memorable.
6.) "A Life in Five Objects" - Ross Warren: An interview involving the titular five objects takes a surprising turn. Good read, entertaining.
7.) "The Last Resort" - Sam Stone: Solid, plot-twisty piece about a man (Charlie), dying of cancer, whose eyes are opened to certain untimely revelations.
8.) "Der Engel der Liebe" - Dean M Drinkel: This story reads like a mid-Sixties to early Seventies Hammer film, with its ritualistic murder, sadism and blasphemous-religious elements. It's predictable, aside from a Hammer-esque tale-expansive twist at the end, but this well-written work is all about enjoying the ride not the destination.
9.) "The Final Peace" - Gary Fry: A man, mourning his recently deceased wife and fearful for their offspring, goes to the fair with his too-curious-for-his-comfort children. Well-written tale, with an effective, grief-realistic tone and a finish that made me smile.
10.) "Do No Harm" - Joe C. McKinney: Provocative, memorable work about a doctor (Turner) who's forced to help a group of creatures - who prey on mankind - conquer a disease that's held them in check. One of my favorite stories in this collection.

The Chariots of Ra, by Kenneth Bulmer
(pb; 1972)
From the description page:
"The chariots came on at great speed and there was no mistaking their purpose. Tulley wondered if they were using this place as a base. . . Then an arrow plunked into the parapet of his chariot. Oolou lashed the reins. The nageres sprang forward. With suicidal speed the two chariot groups closed in on each other.
"Tulley swallowed down, feeling the dryness in his throat, loosed a shaft at the oncoming mass. There must be twenty chariots out there. . .
"He glanced at Oolou, shouting. She stared back at him with a ghastly grin, the blood pouring from her neck above the corselet where an arrow stood, stark and brutal."
Chariots is a solid, exotic and action-relentless science fiction novella that recalls the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs for its blunt physical action and many of John Wayne's films for its masculine/man's gotta do. . . tone. In it, two friends (Graham Pike and Roy Tulley) are kidnapped and shuttled (via portals) into other worlds, where they encounter strange creatures, slavers, warriors, queens and other bristling characters. Will they be able to return to Earth, whence they came? That question is secondary when survival is a moment-to-moment challenge.
Chariots was packaged as a reverse-bound "Ace Double" novel, which means that if readers flip the book upside down and over, there was another science fiction novel, penned by another author, on the other side. (Considering that these books sold for 95 cents a pop, this seems like a great deal, even back in that less-expensive, Seventies economy.)
In this case, the flipside novel is John Rackham's Earthstrings.

Before the Chop: LA Weekly Articles 2011 - 2012, by Henry Rollins
(pb; 2013: nonfiction)
From the back cover:
"The writer, now a but a shell of his former self, sits down at his desk. He swipes the empty cough syrup bottles, subpoenas, rejection letters and other detritus to the floor to make space. He frisks himself and finds a pen. It is time to work. There is a deadline. An editor waiting. One thousand words must be evicted from this ransacked mind and committed to the page. One thousand words! The weight of the Damoclean sword hanging over the writer's head tests the strength of the single horse hair that keeps the blade heeding the demands of gravity. The writer picks up the pen. . . and puts it down again. The blank page stares back silently screaming for content. The writer picks up the pen one more time. . . it feels like it weighs ten pounds. In his younger days the writer effortlessly grabbed all the low hanging fruit and filled composition notebooks with oceans of ink As the years passed, the writer ascended to the higher branches until one day, all the fruit was gone. The writer was now at the very top of the tree. . . with nothing. It was around this time, the writer got a job at the L.A. Weekly. One thousand words a week? No problem! Actually, a big problem. Yet somehow, the forces of desperation, a fear of failure and a pathetic desire to somehow "stay in the game" drives him on! The writer rips it from his guts and other places, week after week. How does the writer do it? Simple. The writer has nothing else going on. Read this book and you will discover just how obvious this is. I am so glad to be done.
"- Name withheld by request"
The collected articles in Chop read like tightly edited versions of Rollins' spoken word shows: blunt, provocative, smart, self-effacing, humorous and enthusiastic about stuff he likes (music, especially listening to vinyl; touring as often as possible; etc.). Mixed in with Rollins' recollections - musical, personal and sometimes political - is a sense of upbeat wisdom regarding and stemming from restraint and knowing one's place in the world, which we share with others who disagree with us (as individuals).
Excellent read, worth owning.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Firestorm, by Greg Keyes
(pb; 2014: book sequel to the 2011 film Rise of the Planet of the Apes and prequel to the movie tie-in novel Dawn of the Planet of Apes, by Alex Irvine)
From the back cover:
"Caesar and his followers have escaped the clutches of man, fighting their way across the Golden Gate Bridge and taking refuge in the vast redwood forest known as Muir Woods. There they hope to establish a home, far from the humans who so horribly abused them.
"But mankind has far worse things to worry about.
"The 'Simian Flu' has begun to strike down unsuspecting innocents throughout San Francisco. What began as isolated cases quickly become a full-on epidemic. There are those who blame the apes, and would like to take revenge, while others hunt Caesar and his troop for their own insidious reasons. Either way the result will be the same. . ."
Firestorm is a cinematically streamlined, smart, humane and entertaining novel that links Rise and Dawn. Its pace never lags, it shares two main characters (Gary Oldman's Dreyfus and Andy Serkis's Caesar) with Dawn (as well as other supporting characters), while making plot-pertinent mentions of James Franco's Will Rodman from Rise. Not only that, its tone is consistent with its bookending films and its ending is satisfactory.
Good summer blockbuster read, this.

I picked this place over the others because of the death metal blaring from the front. The pizza was amazing! I'm pretty sure it was what saved me from a hangover the next day!
If you are looking for something to line your stomach before a night on sixth street or munchies after your night on 6th street Hoeks is the place. Even if you dont like the death metal music blasting in the store its a really cool experience to go eat there! Open from 7pm - 3am
I love this place. The pizza is pretty good, staff is pretty nice, and the death metal is REALLY loud! If that sounds good too you, you cant go wrong. During SXSW this year they even had a death metal festival in their tiny backyard. Awesome!
RIP - I miss you
Miss this one too!
Good for those late night 6th street drunken munchies but not as good as bestwurst.
How I miss my dear, sweet Hoek's.

Latest Production New
BREAKING CHINA to air on RTÉ ONE Thursday April 17th 2014 at 10.15pm
This series follows the adventures of Irish-American writer and comedian Des Bishop as he moves to China for a year in order to learn mandarin and eventually attempt to perform a one-man stand up comedy show for a Chinese audience.
There are a couple of problems though – the locals are unaware of the subtleties of western style comedy and are laughing for all the wrong reasons. Is Des' attempt to explore comedy in a foreign country and a strange culture a task too far?
Part reality, part travel, part humour, Des' new Chinese project will follow his move to Beijing, his fumbling first steps in Mandarin, his adventures with the local kids. His Chinese host family will encompass the quirks of an intriguing nation that is changing at a blistering pace.
Des will go to Chinese university, share everyday life with the family and explore the wider China beyond. He plans to set up his own comedy club in a Beijing city venue and with luck build a loyal following and a successful business. By journey's end he even hopes to make his name on Chinese television which attracts the largest audiences on the planet.

Venezuelan oil basket slumps USD 97.10
The Venezuelan crude oil shed five cents
The Ministry of Petroleum and Mining has reported that the Venezuelan oil basket slipped back five cents (0.05%) from USD 97.15 last week.
The Ministry posted on its Tweeter account that during the week the prices of hydrocarbons were virtually steady, as the market focused its attention on the agreement on the financial aid to Greece and the talks at the US Congress to prevent the so-called fiscal precipice.
To date, the Venezuelan oil basket averages USD 103.95 per barrel.
Is protest over?
That political protest in Venezuela has lost momentum seems pretty obvious: people are no longer building barricades to block off streets near Plaza Francia in Altamira (eastern Caracas), an anti-government stronghold; no new images have been shown of brave and dashing protesters with bandanna-covered faces clashing with the National Guard in San Cristóbal, in the western state of Táchira; and those who dreamed of a horde of "Gochos" (Tachirans) descending in an avalanche to stir up revolt in Caracas have been left with no option but to wake up to reality.

From the Publisher
"Whether as a text for a course or as a vehicle for self-study, this book makes for interesting, educational and thought-provoking reading."--Mark Hunacek, MAA Reviews
"Adler does a grand job of showing just how powerful even basic maths and physics can be. If you're a budding back-of-the-envelope boffin not afraid of a bit of algebra, you'll love this book."--Robert Matthews, BBC Focus Magazine
"I can't work out whether I love or hate this book. I love it because its analysis of the physics behind numerous accounts of magic and space exploration in fantasy and science fiction writing is fascinating. I hate it because it reveals why I will never be able to realise my dream of saying 'Beam me up, Scotty' before being teleported; or so Charles Adler has convinced me. . . . The physics is well explained and Adler offers entertaining examples."--Noel-Ann Bradshaw, Times Higher Education
"Wizards, Aliens, and Starships is a great book by itself or as a starting point for exploring the physics of space exploration as well as the classics in science fiction."--Robert Schaefer, New York Journal of Books
"For those who want to learn the hard facts about the realities of space travel or the chances for alien life, and as an engaging supplemental text for physics and astronomy courses, Wizards, Aliens, and Starships would be an admirable choice."--Sidney Perkowitz, Scientists' Bookshelf
"[A] rewarding and thought-provoking read."--Paul Sutherland, BBC Sky at Night
"[T]his book offers a lot, not only to SF authors but to any of you who want to see the real science in operation because this supplies most of the answers you need. Make sure your copy gets a serious read and well-thumbed."--G.F. Willmetts, SFCrowsnest
"This book will speak to anyone wanting to know about the correct--and incorrect--science of science fiction and fantasy."--Lunar and Planetary Information Bulletin
"[T]his is an interesting, well-written book, and Adler has put a lot of work into it. It should be invaluable for anyone wanting to write really accurate science fiction."--Popular Science
"There is much . . . in this book to interest readers interested in astronomy and astronautics and I think it will be likely to appeal to physics students."--John Harney, Magonia
"Charles L. Adler, professor in the physics department at St. Mary's College in Maryland, is one of us--he's a lifelong fan of SF, and he knows what he's talking about. And Wizards, Aliens, and Starships is a great book for Analog readers, as well as anyone who wants to write hard SF. I mean, it's got honest-to-goodness equations--and the book is dedicated to Poul Anderson. . . . Wizards, Aliens, and Starships is a love letter to science fiction."--Don Sakers, Analog Science Fiction and Fact
"Hugely entertaining and scientifically sound."--Paul Gilster, Centauri Dreams
"What a fun book!"--Keith Cooper, Astronomy Now
"Wizards, Aliens, and Starships manages to thread the needles of both scientific literacy and accuracy when it comes to the properties he's exploring. Whether it's conservation of mass in shapeshifting, lighting candles at Hogwarts, or building a planet, Adler keeps the science accessible and the fanboys and girls happy."--Glenn Dallas, San Francisco Book Review

1995 Chevrolet Camaro Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 86 reviews
The Camaro continues to impress aficionados and potential consumers alike with its exciting ride and powerful engine (base engine is a 3.4-liter 160-hp V6 and the Z28 brings a 5.7-liter 275-hp LT1 V8 with six speeds). The 1995 model is very similar to the 1994, having only introduced three new colors and some interior changes for all models and new wheels on the Z28.
The rear wheel drive and low suspension make for a road-hugging ride that may feel a little slippery in winter weather. Otherwise, Camaro brings its standard promises: an exciting though noisy ride for the driver and front-seat package, with a cramped ride for anyone who dare try to fit in the back seat.

Aussie Liane Moriarty is the author of five bestsellers, including The Hypnotist's Love Story and What Alice Forgot. Her latest, The Husband's Secret, is about a woman who stumbles upon a letter written by her husband and only to be open upon his death. Too bad he's still alive—and the letter contains a shocking secret that will alter many lives. Our reviewer calls the book "as scary as it is familiar," with a "gob-smacking twist."
We were curious about which books Moriarty has enjoyed reading lately, so we asked her. Here are her recommendations:
By Karen Joy Fowler
I bought this book because I adored The Jane Austen Book Club by the same author. I don't want to say too much because I think it's best to approach this story without any preconceptions. (I made the mistake of reading reviews that gave away too much of the plot.) All I will say is that it's a wonderful, original story about an unforgettable family, and I laughed and cried the whole way through.
By Rachel Joyce
I loved The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, so I was thrilled to receive a special advance copy of Rachel Joyce's new novel, Perfect. I enjoyed this just as much Harold's story, although it's very different in tone and mood. There was one scene in particular that was so beautifully written, so touching and funny and perfect. I'm desperate for someone else to read it now so I can say, "What about that part where . . . " [Perfect will be published next January.]
A Corner of White: Book 1 of The Colors of Madeleine
By Jaclyn Moriarty
My sister, Jaclyn Moriarty, is an award-winning YA writer, and this is the first in an extraordinary three-book fantasy series. It takes the reader on an incredible journey between Cambridge, England, and the Kingdom of Cello. It's hilarious, magical, impossible to put down, and there are scenes that still explode through my memory as if I had seen them on the big screen. (And I bet we do see those scenes on the big screen one day.) I read this in manuscript form on a skiing holiday with my family, and once I got over my intense sibling envy, I lost myself in the beautiful worlds she created.
Those who were introduced to Matthew Quick through the Academy Award-winning film adaptation of The Silver Linings Playbook may not be aware that he is a former high school teacher with three YA novels under his belt. His most recent, the riveting Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock, introduces readers to a teenager in crisis who is contemplating a murder-suicide. (Read our interview with Quick about the book here.)
We were curious about which books Quick has enjoyed reading lately and asked him to share three recommendations. Here they are:
By Evan Roskos
Fantastic title. Little known fact: Evan Roskos and I once tried to write a book together. It was called MonkeyShark. We never finished it—instead he took his parts and wrote Dr. Bird, and I wrote Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock. Like me, Evan cares deeply about mental health awareness. His take on anxiety, Walt Whitman, family and friendship is as authentic as they come. It's a beautiful, hopeful story. And it features a talking pigeon! That alone makes it a must read.
By Michael Dahlie
I met Michael at the PEN Hemmingway Awards when my debut was an Honorable Mention to his winner. He handled his victory with the same class and grace that imbue his novels. Dahlie's hapless protagonists are as hilariously flawed as they are earnestly humane. Almost a year after first reading an advance copy, my wife and I still discuss scenes—especially the one featuring a herd of rare goats—from The Best of Youth. For all the Young Adult and ghost authors out there, this is a must, as it explores the fickle and sometimes even pernicious aspects of the writing life.
By Graeme Simsion
Not sure when I've loved a character more than Don Tillman, "Professor of Genetics and licensed server of alcohol." With Twain-like efficiency, Simsion constructs his humor on a sturdy foundation of humanity. This is the type of book that makes you believe in people, love and taking chances. I smiled and laughed all the way through and then gave the book to my wife, who loved it just as much. This one is forthcoming in the U.S. (October 1), and I suggest you preorder today.
In her latest book, Rose Harbor in Bloom, Debbie Macomber returns to Cedar Cove, the oh-so-quaint coastal town where many of her heartwarming novels (and now a TV show!) are set. This time, the story revolves around the Rose Harbor Inn—its proprietor and five guests—over the course of a weekend. According to our reviewer, "Macomber uses warmth, humor and superb storytelling skills to deliver a tale that charms and entertains."
We were curious about which books Macomber has enjoyed reading lately, so we asked her. Here are her recommendations:
by Will Schwalbe
Some of the most important talks I've had with my mother about life, love, marriage, children—you name it—happened in the kitchen while cooking together. In this tender story, Will is with his mother as she undergoes cancer treatments, and while it's awkward and difficult to discuss death, they are able to communicate their feelings best through the books they've read. This superbly written story of a mother's love for her son, and his for her, brought back beautiful memories of my relationship with my own mother, especially toward the end of her life.
By Kate Morton
I'm a big audio book fan. Being dyslexic makes me a slow, thoughtful reader, and with audio books, not only am I able to keep up with current bestsellers, but I can also multitask. Kate immediately thrusts the reader (listener) into the middle of England in WWII, the 1960s and 2011 as our heroine, Laurel, investigates the past to unravel a mystery involving her dying mother. The story takes several twists and turns and is storytelling at its finest.
By Christina Skye
Over the years, I've read several of Christina Skye's novels. She writes historical and contemporary fiction, and both are impeccably researched. What makes this, her first book in her Draycott Abbey series, such a stellar read is how she manages to combine both the past and the present in one edge-of-your-seat story revolving around an archeologist tracking a priceless 1,000-year-old sword.
Back in 2009, Paul Yoon's short story collection, Once the Shore, garnered much critical acclaim, kickstarting the anticipation for the publication of his first novel. That novel, Snow Hunters, arrives tomorrow, and our reviewer proclaims it to be "an introspective and moving novel to savor." Sounds like it was worth the wait! (Enter this week's contest to win a copy—along with three other novels coming out this month.)
We were curious about which books Yoon has enjoyed reading lately, so we asked him. Here are his recommendations:
What prompted you to read it?
The novel's premise was too tempting to resist: A British spy is held captive by jihadist fighters in Africa while, at the same time, on the opposite side of the world, a scientist prepares to enter a submersible to study the farthest depths of the ocean. Even before getting my hands on the book, I desperately wanted to know more.
Why do you recommend it?
Because it's not only a fierce and tender love story between two people caught in two very different worlds, but also a book that, chapter by chapter, taught me something about the world. It's also a technical achievement, with some of the finest prose I have read in a long time.
The Ten Thousand Things
By Maria Dermoût
What prompted you to read it?
Linda Spalding wrote a wonderful essay about this novel in the anthology, Lost Classics. I was immediately enamored by the novel's setting: an island in Indonesia, one filled with magic and ghosts, joy and sadness. Also, the book's publisher, NYRB, is one of my favorites.
Why do you recommend it?
For its beautiful strangeness, its unexpected twists and turns, and for the way the story is both utterly still and thunderous. Everyone has their own definition of a "timeless" book. This one, written in the late 1950s, is the one for me, the one that always stays close and is revisited often.
The Peripatetic Coffin and Other Stories
by Ethan Rutherford
What prompted you to read it?
I met Ethan about a decade ago and have been a fan of his work for longer. Word that his first book, a story collection, was coming out this year sent a wave of excitement through the literary community.
Why do you recommend it?
I love how, on first glance, each story in this book is so different: there's one set during the Civil War, another set in the desert sometime in the future, and another set in the confines of a suburban neighborhood. And yet they are bound by the idea of the ocean, of the vastness and the mysteries lying below the surface in all of us. I know no other story collection like this one: in its creative audacity, its sense of urgency and its heart, it feels rare and majestic.

Adelle Waldman's critically lauded debut novel, The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P., has sparked countless heated discussions of the titular character's, well, character. The book offers readers rare—and almost startlingly voyeuristic—insight into the mind of 30-something Brooklynite Nate as he adjusts from being a struggling freelance writer to having a six-figure book deal and as he fickly—and somewhat obliviously—navigates the urban dating scene. (For insight into the insight, check out our interview with Waldman about the book.)
We were curious about which books Waldman has enjoyed reading lately, so we asked her. Here are her recommendations:
I recently reread Middlemarch—this time, on audiobook, read by Juliet Stevenson, who is a terrific narrator. It was, I think, the fourth time I'd read the book, and it's a book absolutely worthy of multiple readings, especially for people who haven't read it since college. Even if you loved it then, I guarantee you will see more in it if you read it again as an adult. For me, on this rereading, I noticed so many observations about people and social life that I wonder if I'd missed them before because I was too caught up in the story—what would happen next—or just because I was too young to realize just how smart they were.
A Dual Inheritance
By Joanna Hershon
It's fitting that I just mentioned Middlemarch because Hershon's novel, about two men who meet at Harvard in the 1960s and their wives and children, reads in some ways like a sweeping, character-based 19th-century novel. Hershon's vivid characters jump off the page, and she renders their setting, and social and historical context, with great and pithy intelligence. But the novel is also a classic love story—a love triangle—that is both satisfying and unsentimental. It's the kind of engrossing book you want to get wholly absorbed in over a vacation or long weekend.
The Love Song of Jonny Valentine
By Teddy Wayne
This novel blew me away. Teddy Wayne did something remarkable—he wrote an entire book from the perspective of an 11-year-old, who happens to be a pop star—and still produced a book that is bracingly smart and funny, and yet never reads as if an adult wrote it because Jonny's voice feels so authentic. Through Jonny, who has absorbed the values of the shallow, success-obsessed world he lives in, Wayne manages to critique not merely celebrity culture but all of us. We can't help but be amused by some of Jonny's most cynical observations, about, for example, how you want not only girls but pretty girls to come to concerts because the pretty ones will be brought by boyfriends (two tickets sold rather than one) and the boyfriends will buy them T-shirts to ingratiate themselves (more "merch" sold). Yet this isn't a satirical book. Jonny is very tenderly drawn, and the novel is also a gripping, warm-hearted story about a confused young boy who is trying to find connection.
And be sure to check out our continued First Fiction Month coverage throughout August.
Karin Slaughter's newest thriller featuring GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigation) detective Will Trent, Unseen, is the type of shocking, relentless thriller that Slaughter's many fans expect. As Trent tries to find crime boss Big Whitey, his lover Sara Linton seeks her stepson's shooter, and the two investigations careen toward one another in one hell of a ride.
We asked Slaughter to share three books she has recently read, and it's clear her tastes in reading are as chilling as her own writing.
I've always been drawn to historical fiction, and Burial Rites gives insight into a world completely foreign to me—Iceland during the early 1800s. The story (which is based on true events) follows the last days of a woman sentenced to death for her part in two brutal murders. It's tense and riveting; as cold and unrelenting as the barren landscape.
By Mo Hayder
I'm not sure what it is about Mo Hayder that I love so much. I think it's because she seems to visit the same dark places that I explore in my writing; yet, she brings a different perspective that would ever occur to me. Detective Jack Caffery has been in several previous novels, but he seems to have grown up a bit in Poppet. He's more reflective and cautious, just as you'd expect a real-life detective to be after witnessing the every-day horrors of police work. The crime at the center of Poppet is much more tame than Mo generally fashions, but her trademark turning of the screw still sends shivers down the spine.
Death Angel
By Linda Fairstein
I'm an Alex Cooper fan from way back, and Linda is one of my favorite New York writers. She always manages to find a mysterious, new part of the city to write about. This is her town, and she knows its stories. Death Angel takes place in Central Park, which can be as beautiful as it is dangerous. Linda's experience as a prosecutor comes full bear in this gripping chase to stop a serial killer. It's always thrilling to see what she's going to come up with next.
Thanks, Karin! What do you think, readers? Plan to add any of these to your to-be-read list?

He's written fascinating biographies of cod, salt and the genius behind frozen veggies, landing on bestseller lists and nabbing a few awards—including a James Beard Award for Excellence in Food Writing—along the way. In his new book, Ready for a Brand New Beat, Mark Kurlansky documents the enormous and enduring impact that the song "Dancing in the Streets" had upon its release in the turbulent summer of 1964 and beyond.
We were curious about the books Kurlansky enjoys reading, so we asked him to recommend three recent reads. Here they are:
The Social Conquest of Earth
By Edward O. Wilson
What prompted you to read it?
In the interest of full disclosure, this is the 10th book I have read by Ed Wilson. Also, I once spent possibly the most fascinating two hours of my life in a conversation with him at his Harvard office. To indulge in the odious vice of comparison, he is like Albert Einstein combined with William Faulkner. He writes beautifully.
Why do you recommend it?
The Social Conquest of the Earth is an astoundingly ambitious work in which he uses a lifetime in evolutionary biology to explore the human condition—what are we like, how did we get that way, and what is likely to become of us. Wilson sets your mind ablaze.
The Miniature Wife and Other Stories
By Manuel Gonzales
What prompted you to read it?
My absolute favorite form of writing both as a reader and writer is the short story, and I am always looking for new ones. I like the collections, like to see how they are put together.
Why do you recommend it?
This first book by Gonzales puts together 18 well-crafted stories artfully. His view of the world is slightly wacky, so you are never sure what to expect. He has an absurdist view of the banal that takes the most ordinary situations and turns them illogically on their head. Great fun to read.
The Short, Strange Life of Herschel Grynszpan: A Boy Avenger, a Nazi Diplomat, and a Murder in Paris
By Jonathan Kirsch
What prompted you to read it?
This caught my attention because I have never seen a book about this mysterious, hard-to-explain, and critical moment in history.
Why do you recommend it?
One of the strangest and most mysterious and obscure chapters in Nazi history. A Jewish teenager assassinated a minor Nazi official, and it became the premise for the unleashing of what eventually became known as the Holocaust. A strange and gripping tale thoroughly researched and well told with a lot of relevance on subjects such as political assassination and terrorism.
Best-selling author Chris Bohjalian is back with The Light in the Ruins, which was released last week. Set in Florence in 1955, the novel is described by our reviewer as "a brilliant blend of historical fiction and a chilling serial killer story." No doubt it'll keep readers briskly turning the pages until the very last one.
We were wondering which books Bohjalian hasn't been able to put down lately, and so we asked him to recommend three recent reads. Here they are:
Help for the Haunted
By John Searles
I read this novel as a galley and was mesmerized. (It goes on sale in September.) Searles, whose previous novels include Boy Still Missing and Strange But True, has given us something absolutely wonderful: A coming-of-age tale that is poignant and touching . . . and will scare the living hell out of you. I loved every single page of this book. I loved the two sisters and the story and the lush, atmospheric, page-turning mystery. I just may never go downstairs into my basement again.
Vampires in the Lemon Grove
By Karen Russell
This is a collection of short stories, and I really don't read many short stories. I'm more likely drawn to doorstops that have a novel hiding somewhere inside them. But I enjoyed Russell's 2011 novel, Swamplandia!, so I gave this collection a chance—and I'm very glad I did. They are all a little quirky and more than a little disturbing: Humans are transformed into silkworms. The meaning of life for a lonesome teenager may exist in the objects that a seagull is hoarding in its nest. And, in a tale set among the Nebraska homesteaders in the 19th century, a windowpane anchors one boy's terrifying ride across the plains.
Flimsy Little Plastic Miracles
By Ron Currie Jr.
Earlier this year, I was nearly asked to leave the waiting room outside the endoscopy clinic at a Vermont hospital, thanks to this novel. A friend of mine had just turned 50 and was getting his first colonoscopy. I drove him to the hospital and brought Currie's novel to read while he was sleeping through what we euphemistically refer to as "the procedure." I reached a scene so blisteringly funny that I laughed as I hadn't laughed in years: We're talking demonic, unstoppable, don't-sit-next-to-that-guy howls. It was the narrator's confession that he's incapable of moving his bowels in the same building as his girlfriend and the efforts he's made to hide from her the fact that he has ever gone to the bathroom. I'm not sure what it says about me that I found Currie's potty humor brilliant, but it does make me a bit like his narrator, who is filled with buckets of self-loathing. The book is actually a sentimental rom-com, and—just for the record—I really like sentimental rom-coms.
With more than 300 books under his belt, R.L. Stine has been giving kids—and teens and adults!—goosebumps for more than 25 years.
Stine's most recent book (released on July 2) is A Midsummer Night's Scream, which follows a bunch of teens filming a remake of a movie that is said to have been cursed after three actors mysteriously died during production 60 years ago. Will the new cast meet the same fate? Only Stine will tell.
We asked Stine to share three books he's enjoyed reading recently, and here are his recommendations:
What prompted you to read it?
I don't read much historical fiction. I read mostly thrillers and mysteries. I thought I needed a change, something different to read, and several friends had recommended it.
Why do you recommend it?
This book really takes you to a different world. It is beautifully imagined and cleverly plotted. I felt I was in the time of Cromwell and King Henry. I can't wait to read the second volume in the trilogy.
By Harlan Coben
What prompted you to read it?
Harlan is a friend of mine, and I never miss one of his books.
Why do you recommend it?
They are totally entertaining and surprising. There are twists and surprises—and major shocks—in every chapter. You can never guess where the plot is going next.
By M.C. Beaton
What prompted you to read it?
I love to read series, and this is one of my favorites. I've read at least 20 of them. I always feel bad I have to wait a year for the next one.
Why do you recommend it?
The books take you to a tiny Scottish Highlands village and feature a police officer named Hamish MacBeth. The village is populated by hilarious, quirky characters—but the murders MacBeth must solve can be quite gruesome. A great combination of humor and mystery.
Curtis Sittenfeld burst onto the literary scene back in 2005 with her debut novel, Prep. With the release of each of her subsequent, well-received books—Man of My Dreams, American Wife and, now, Sisterland—she has stumped those wanting to relegate her to any one category of writers.
Sisterland introduces readers to twin sisters Kate and Violet. Just about the only thing they have in common is their psychic ability, with which Vi is predicting a massive earthquake that will devastate the city of St. Louis. Our reviewer declares the book to be "another Sittenfeld novel to savor, ponder and recommend to friends."
We asked Sittenfeld to tell us about three books she's enjoyed reading, and here are her recommendations:
The Age of Miracles
By Karen Thompson Walker
What prompted you to read it?
It's a book that's sort of about a natural disaster and is sort of surreal (daylight and darkness inexplicably keep getting longer, destroying our current 24-hour cycles) yet is also very grounded in typical suburban life. I received an advance copy while I was working on a novel [Sisterland] that's sort of about a natural disaster and is sort of surreal (a psychic predicts that a devastating earthquake will hit St. Louis) yet is also very grounded in typical suburban life. So I guess it was professionally narcissistic curiosity that prompted me?!
Why do you recommend it?
It's told from the perspective of a 10-year-old girl and the voice is very convincing and not at all annoying, as child or tween voices often can be in fiction. It's beautifully written. And the premise is fascinating. I still think about this book whenever there's weird weather, which is often these days.
The Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls
By Anton DiSclafani
What prompted you to read it?
Well, I'm friends with the author. But I'm definitely not faking my love for this book!
Why do you recommend it?
In 1930, after causing a scandal at home, a 16-year-old named Thea gets sent from her native Florida to a fancy equestrian finishing school in the mountains of North Carolina. And let's just say her scandalous behavior is far from finished. Filled with sex and debutauntes, this book is very juicy on many levels.
What prompted you to read it?
It's about an Arab-Israeli doctor living in Tel Aviv whose wife may or may not have been a suicide bomber. After her death, he tried to figure out the truth. Reading fiction set in places of current political or religious upheaval allows me to feel like I understand complicated situations a little better.
Why do you recommend it?
It makes the Israeli-Palestinian conflict personal in ways that news reports don't. Interestingly, the author openly writes under a pseudonym: He's a man named Mohammed Moulessehoul (a former Algerian army officer who lives in France) writing as Yasmina Khadra.

Remarkable run by Lady Panther seniors
Written by Brian Cunniff Thursday, March 13, 2014 09:52 am
|< Prev
|Next >
EGG HARBOR CITY ŌĆō The stars seemed to be aligned just right.
Olivia Salvo practically couldnŌĆÖt miss from the field, making an eye-popping 8 of 10 shots from the floor, most of the shots coming from 14 to 17 feet.
Lauryn Fields wasnŌĆÖt having her best offensive night, but was playing the game with unyielding determination, leadership and fire. You got the feeling she was going to somehow will her team to victory, no matter what it might take.
Lauren Legler, Erin Ruskey and Holly McKaig were digging in defensively, battling a prolific offensive team to a stalemate both in the paint and on the perimeter.
Marinna Peterson had made a big three-pointer. Bridget Ruskey had provided a couple of key baskets and a handful of points. Julianna Riggitano had risen off the bench for a few fleeting moments and produced a big steal and a key rebound.
Heck, head coach John LeahyŌĆÖs wife, Cathy, even won the 50-50 drawing held by the opponentŌĆÖs athletic booster club.
But just when everything seemed to be going the Middle Township High School girls basketball teamŌĆÖs way, Cedar Creek pulled out the rug from under the Lady PanthersŌĆÖ feet.
Behind a 25-point outburst in the fourth quarter that was helped along by a sensational effort from the foul line in the final minute, Cedar Creek rallied from a seven-point third-quarter hole to catch and pass Middle in the final minutes of MondayŌĆÖs South Jersey Group II championship game en route to a 56-50 victory.
In a rather evenly-played contest, the foul line was the difference. Cedar Creek made 9 of 11 in the fourth quarter and 10 of 13 in the second half, while Middle made only one of its first eight attempts of the second half and 5 of 13 overall for the game.
ŌĆ£At the end of the day, we missed a lot of free throws in the second half and you have to give them credit for making so many in the fourth quarter because it seemed like they were making all of them,ŌĆØ Leahy said. ŌĆ£Foul shooting is only one phase of the game, but in a game this close the foul line really hurt us.
ŌĆ£I know itŌĆÖs clich├® to say this but this was a game where you saw two really good teams fight so hard that you hate to see someone have to lose it. Unfortunately for us, they made more plays than we did.ŌĆØ
After the teams were locked at 22-22 at the half, Middle began the second half on a 13-6 run to open a 35-28 lead. Cedar Creek responded with a 25-12 surge that spanned the last 1 ┬Į minutes of the third quarter and the first 7 ┬Į minutes of the fourth.
Mikila Stefanski scored a game-high 22 points, netting 12 in the fourth quarter for Cedar Creek (24-4). Jahniece Jaffe scored nine of her 12 points in the fourth quarter and Casey Thomas added 11 points.
Salvo led Middle (24-6) with 16 points. Fields added 11, three of which came on a halfcourt shot at the second-quarter buzzer, and Bridget Ruskey added nine off the bench.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs so tough because we worked our behinds off and gave everything we had left,ŌĆØ Fields said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs heartbreaking not to come out with this win. We left it all on the court. I wouldnŌĆÖt ask for a better team and a better coaching staff to be with for my career.ŌĆØ
The loss ended an extraordinary run for Middle TownshipŌĆÖs seniors, who won 99 games against only 27 losses during their careers. They also played in three South Jersey title games, won one sectional title, claimed three Cape-Atlantic League regular-season conference championships and won this yearŌĆÖs CAL Playoff Tournament.
So a loss in MondayŌĆÖs South Jersey title game wonŌĆÖt diminish the efforts of one of the greatest four-year runs in program history.
ŌĆ£I couldnŌĆÖt be more proud of our seven seniors and what theyŌĆÖve meant to this program,ŌĆØ Leahy said. ŌĆ£What they accomplished, win or lose in this game, speaks for itself. The effort they gave ŌĆō I couldnŌĆÖt be prouder.
ŌĆ£The adversity these kids fought through, with kids being out with injuries, they were able to stick together, fight together and figure it out. We were able to win the CAL, we were able to make the (South Jersey) final again. We have so much to be proud of.ŌĆØ

I find the metal they use in this hex tips is both somewhat weak and brittle. Be careful not to tighten or loosen too hard, or it will twist or snap. The good news is that the fit is very good to the socket.

Avril Lavigne
About this title: Talk about pressure -- being under 21 and having a record deal no longer qualifies as extraordinary. And as mass-produced teen pop makes its exit and a glut of young singer/songwriters enter, child prodigies no longer have built-in marketing appeal. So if newcomer 17-year-old Avril Lavigne truly wants to be "Anything but Ordinary," as she sings on her debut album, Let Go, she'll have to dig deeper. Luckily for Lavigne, aside from youth, she does have talent. Her debut runs the gamut from driving rock numbers like "Losing ...

I read this wonderfully written piece "America is Not for Black People" by Greg Howard on Deadspin yesterday. Powerful Read. I had angry tears in my eyes reading the names of all of these young unarmed black men killed by the police in recent years. Click the image to access the article.
A few weeks ago, one of my besties called me on her way back to Chi from Indianapolis so she could stay awake. She said she'd been in IN for her nephew's little league game and if they won one more game, they would make it to the Little League World Series. As excited as I was for her and her family, at that point, I did not realize the impact of them winning would have on me or really anyone.
In the wake of so much violence constantly broadcast about young black men in and out of Chicago, when JRW won and advanced to compete in the Little League World Series, I must admit my heart smiled. A huge smile. To see so many people posting pics on IG and FB of these little brown boys from my hometown living out their dreams and making us all proud is amazing.
Here's to representing us well, JRW! Keep writing your story.

This picture truly reveals the power of going to an HBCU. The three of us were blessed to have the lifechanging experience of attending a Historically Black College/University. And, as much as we joke about which one is the greatest, they are all great! Why? Because during those formative years, we learned in great depth about our history/culture, learned about ourselves and realized that our voices count and that there is nothing that we, united, cannot achieve.
Thank you, HU, for reminding us of our power and making sure that (y)our voices are heard!

I went to this concert a couple of weeks ago and I still get happy thinking about it. Saw it in Chicago underneath the stars with my friends of 25 years in the home of my beloved Chicago Bears. *Sigh* --- A truly perfect night. I love Yonce and anyone who knows me knows I'm a BIG Jay fan - riding since '97. (Yes, I'm dating myself). See my twitter handle - @jayevryday. I straight lose my mind every time I hear Jay perform "U Don't Know" live or when it comes on in a club. When the beat drops…yes! When he says "shoot at you actors like movie directors" you would think he wrote that just for me. I. Lose. My. Mind. Sorry to the ladies who sat behind me and had to witness that very thing. I apologized in advance : )
I'm so mad I missed this. What a talent. Creative collaborator. Stay tuned...
I can't wait to get into this one. Edwidge Danticat is one of my favorite writers. She actually might be my favorite. I went to hear her speak at the LA library with DG a few years back and I was in awe. You woulda though she was Beyonce the way I was staring at her. Her kind of talent is rare and a true treasure. I hope and pray I can create a work in my medium that is as excellent as the works she creates in hers.
Funny thing, even though I am a director, I consider myself more of a reader than movie watcher. Growing up, I would spend hours holed up in my room on the top bunk of my bed lost in a book. I welcome the peace and pleasure a good book brings. I ashamed to say I haven't finished one book this year though! Been caught up in the grind. Changing that right now...
this makes me boogie! ms. monae speaks for this electric lady. yes!
