A Few Book Recommendations
I've gotten a few questions lately about books and book recommendations. Here are some of my all-time favorite books that I recommend to everyone. I hope fellow bibliophiles can find one or two new reads to stash next to the bed:
If you like non-fiction: Anne Fadiman's Ex Libris is a collection of non-fiction short essays about being a book lover. It's uproariously funny; chock-full of weird, obscure words you want to look up; and it inspired my mother to buy me 17 pounds of books for my 17th birthday (awesome).
If English was your favorite subject in school: Ian McEwan's Atonement is a beautiful, complicated novel that is difficult to describe without reducing its gorgeousness. Like most McEwan, the plot keeps you rushing forward even while the structure of his sentences ask you to pause, slow down, and pay attention to language.
If you like J.D. Salinger or Lolita: Martin Amis's Money is a book I often recommend to guy friends looking for a good read (needless to say, lots of girls love it, too; it's just my current #1 book-for-a-boy rec). It is deviant, irreverent and darkly humorous.
If you're looking for a good classic, a well-plotted read for a long trip, or a genuinely scary book: Bram Stoker's Dracula literally gave me some kind of sublime shivers, I was so frightened and delighted reading it. It is the original vampire novel (and if you ask me, one of the only worth reading).
If you like long, rambly, funny, encyclopedic novels: Zadie Smith's White Teeth is among my favorite contemporary novels. It is a novel about London (which makes it difficult to contain neatly) and it is big and sympathetic and at times, incredibly funny.
Obviously, I have lots (and lots and lots) more books I love, but these five are among the most-popular Tania recommendations. Do you like to read? Or have you read anything great lately that you'd recommend? Would you mind a post like this once in a while?

I would love a post like this as often as you'd like to post them! It's nice to see more of the bloggers I enjoy.. obviously you have more interests than style! My current favorites:
-David Sedaris, Squirrel Meets Chipmunk: it's by David Sedaris. Enough said.
-William Buckley Jr., No Way to Treat a First Lady: a political satire/non-fiction by the guy who wrote Thank You for Smoking. The first lady is accused of killing her husband, the president, and must enlist the help of the best lawyer in town (her ex) for her defense. Absurd and hysterical.
-Stephen King, The Dark Tower series: went out on a limb on this one because sci fi isn't my thing but a friend strongly recommended it. The characters are fantastically written and it's like a modern day sci fi version of Lord of the Rings almost.
Not sure if those would appeal to you at all, but since you're a bibliophile like me, a good book suggestion is always nice!

I'm a nerd. So I would love to hear book recommendations every now and then! And oh let's see... I just finished Same Kind of Different As Me, and it was unbelievable! I want to read it again. It was an amazing true story, moving yet humorous all at once. I think anyone would enjoy it.

@sarah--ahh, i love david sedaris! he is my favorite vacation pleasure-read. i can't get enough! got to get ahold of his new book, thank you for the reminder :)

I don't mind posts like these one bit!
I very much enjoyed Zadie Smith's White Teeth and another of her novels, On Beauty. Most recently, I finished Umberto Eco's Baudolino, which was epic, fun, beautiful, and challenging.

As an English PhD student, I have very little read-for-fun time (as I think you probably know all too well), so I have to make the most of my reading for fun. Therefore, I recommend Room, by Emma Donoghue, which took me less than two days to read because I quite literally couldn't stop. If you like a bit of speculative fiction, I really enjoyed the collection Wastelands, which is all post-apocalyptic short fiction, some of which was middling but some absolutely superb.
- January 24, 2011 at 5:31 PM
I love having suggested reading material. Thank you for sharing.

- Ashley said...
oh, thanks for your recommendations! I love reading, but after a particularly rough final semester in college (three upper level American Lit classes, a capstone over the Federalist papers (all of them), a class about Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America (which involved reading the whole book), and a class on contemporary readings in Sociology, I was a little tired of reading. Over the past two years since I've graduated I've been slowly reading more and more, but it's hard for me to find interesting books that aren't super popular - I want some off the beaten path recommendations, and you've provided!
Right now I'm reading Stiff by Mary Roach - it's a nonfiction book about different experiments and things that are done to human cadavers. It's really interesting, but I don't care for the author's writing style - it's almost a bit too colloquial for me.
I love David Sedaris, too. Naked is my go-to boy book recommendation - SO funny!
- January 24, 2011 at 5:34 PM
- amberfelix said...
I never comment but would have to second the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. AMAZING!!
I would love to see more of your book rec's! I'm always looking for more good reads.

This is your best post yet. "Money" is now gonna cut in line ahead of other planned reads. Thanks a bunch!

Love Emma Donoghue! Her novel "Stir Fry" was one of my favorites in high school and college! I have been meaning to get to her newer stuff!

Thanks for sharing! I'm reading 52 books this year and looking for non-NYT Best Sellers or Vamprie novels to the list. You're recommendations are wonderful! Thank you :)

This is a great post! I would love to see more book recommendations in the future. Currently, I'm reading Audrey Hepburn's biography. :-)

- Bex said...
Thanks for sharing - I will definitely be checking out a few of these titles! My nightstand was feeling a little lonely...
Recently, I've been reading Sherlock Holmes (I bought the complete set and read them a few at a time), and Blackout / All Clear by Connie Willis.

I'd love some more suggestions! I also haven't commented before but have been a follower for awhile (love your blog & style!)... I'm studying 19th-century literature in England & France and, after a college drought, am slowly rediscovering the world of books... so new titles are always welcome :)
- January 24, 2011 at 5:50 PM
- dot said...
Love the book suggestions! I've been meaning to get my hands on some Zadie Smith.
Favorite things I've read lately:
The Lonely Polygamist by Brady Udall
Leaving Atlanta by Tayari Jones
Swimming by Nicola Keegan
A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore

At the risk of sounding super, suuuper lame - I love YA fiction, so I am throwing out "Matched" by Ally Condie. :D

i would love posts like this more often. you're more than just your clothes, so why not mix things up every now and then?
i have a bumper sticker on my laptop that says, "reading is sexy," so i might be biased :)

I love reading book recommendations. You should do them more often. I read mostly young adult fiction- as a 7th grade English teacher it's a job necessity, but recently did take a few days with The Help which was amazing.

I loved this post! I'm a definite bookworm so I love to hear what other people are reading. My favourites general include anything YA or historical.

I'd love to see more posts like this! I added your recommendations to my "to read" list on Goodreads.com. I'm an American Lit PhD student so obviously I love to read and in the last two years I've been expanding my horizons beyond my research field (19th century lit) and reading some contemporary fiction for fun. I too loved Atonement. I also loved Kate Morton's two novels:
The House at Riverton
The Forgotten Garden
She also has a new one out that I haven't gotten to read yet. I highly recommend them! Also, since you like Dracula I was wondering if you've read The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova? I'm in the middle of reading it right now on my Kindle.
- January 24, 2011 at 6:13 PM
- Lauren said...
Hoorah for books! This English PhD student LOVES book recommendations. Especially ones that are vaguely contemporary.
- January 24, 2011 at 6:16 PM
- Kathy said...
I love these kinds of posts! Even though my to-read list is long enough already, I love adding to it.
I started Atonement in December, but I've yet to pick it up again. It's a book I want to savor, but I haven't made time for that yet. What I've read so far, I love.
I just finished rereading Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer. It's hard for me to pinpoint what exactly I love about it.

Thanks for the recommendations! I love reading and this year one of my goals is to read 50 books for pleasure. I am currently reading Little Women. I will add these to my list!
- January 24, 2011 at 6:19 PM
- Pam S said...
I adore books, I've been reading obsessively since I was 6 years old. I'd love to see more recommendations.
I recently started a Sunday review on my blog and reviewed Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman and Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy. I highly recommend both books for enjoyable and light reads.
- January 24, 2011 at 6:26 PM
- JmeRees said...
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE that you created a book-post! I love hearing other people's recommendations/opinions on books, so when it comes from bloggers who I already like and respect, then I feel I can relate to the books they recommend as well. Please post more!
One book I have recently read is called 'World War Z'. It completely deviates from my normal genre of reading (nonfiction), in that it is about zombies but it is SO incredibly good (and yes, I know I sound crazy). My boyfriend read it then forced me to read it and it was such a perfect escapist book. It tells what would happen if an epidemic truly spread across the world, which isn't all that unreal. Give it a try, it's fun to open our minds once in a while! Sincerely, JR.
- January 24, 2011 at 6:27 PM
- Courtney Erin said...
I'd love to see a book recommendation post from time to time! And to the list I'd like to Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood on the fiction side and The Gentleman's Daughter by Amanda Vickery on the non-fiction side - both are fascinating and beautiful in their very different ways.
xoxo ~ Courtney

- Miss Undergrad said...
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte - yes, everyone I know hated it in high school, but I've read it every spring since 9th grade. Definitely my favorite book of all time.
Deep River by Shusaku Endo - if you're looking for a book that totally relies on a bunch of strangers who all take a vacation for very different reasons, I'd definitely recommend it. Each character, no matter how different, is very likable and gives a very realistic view of modern-day India.
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez - again, another character-driven book that's decked out in astounding imagery and plot.
- January 24, 2011 at 6:33 PM
- thatdamngreendress said...
Oh, I loved Atonement! Similar reads: The Sea, John Banville; Never let me go, Kazuo Ishiguro...
My favourite reads are anything from New York Review Classics- they reprint a lot of interesting mid-century fiction that's always fascinating! Right now I'm reading J.G Farrell's Troubles, about a decaying one-time luxury hotel in 1920's northern Ireland. Incredible.

I would LOVE a post like this once in a while. Babies, food/cooking, and diy/crafting posts are frequent off-topic posts on style blogers blogs. I would love, LOvE, LOOOOVE if more off-topics posts were about books. (I say, as a bit of a bibliophile myself).
- January 24, 2011 at 6:47 PM

omg, as a reader above brought up, I'm wearing a buy olimpia Reading is Sexy cap-sleeve tee right now (which I tracked down after seeing Rory wear it on Gilmore Girls - no surprise I loved that show; I am Rory and Lorelei is pretty much everything I want to be)

Thank you for the recommendations! I am a librarian and fellow bibliophile, and I don't think there's anything wrong with recommending books on a style blog :)

I love learning about people through the books they recommend; this is great!

Thanks for the recommendations! I love Zadie Smith, I especially loved White Teeth. Right now I'm reading The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver, and I'm really enjoying it. I highly recommend it!
- January 24, 2011 at 7:03 PM
- BiblioMOMia said...
Such a lovely, varied list--many of my favs, too!
My favorite recent read was definitely _Let the Great World Spin_ by Colum McCann. Like you, I'm an English PhD student, so my time for "my own" reading is very tight. This is a gorgeous, sweeping, and accessible piece of storytelling...that can be finished in a couple of days!
- January 24, 2011 at 7:11 PM
- heysuz said...
ooooh yay! i am vowing to read a new book every month and i'm taking your recommendations and adding them to my book list.
this month, i'm reading just kids by patti smith. i'm really loving it so far. it's her memoir and it chronicles her early life moving to new york, meeting john maplethrope, and their intense relationship both as lovers and as artists. it's also really interesting to read about these snippets from her life surrounded by artists and poets and musicians in 70s new york.

Yessss I will always take more book recommendations!
I had a super-long train commute at my last job, so last summer was sort of the Season of the Big Novel for me. I read Infinite Jest and Gravity's Rainbow (in tandem with Zak Smith's Pictures of What Happens on Each Page of Thomas Pynchon's Novel Gravity's Rainbow, which was incredible), and then IJ again because it was more fun to just read it than watch boyfriend's eyes glaze over when I start talking about it for the fifth time at every single meal... He was, however, sweet enough to get me a kindle for my birthday, so now I can keep all my 1000+ pagers on me at all times without spinal injury.
I'm on a little food-book (Pollan and Safran Foer) vacation from Big Books right now, but I think my next climb is Ulysses. Atonement and White Teeth sound like they would definitely be up my ally as well :)

Thank you SO much for this post! I'm always looking for book recommendations.
Right now I'm reading The Blind Assassin, by Margaret Atwood, having just finished The Remains of the Day (Ishiguro) and Midnight's Children (Rushdie). I went on a bit of a classics kick earlier this winter and read A Movable Feast, In Our Time (Hemingway), Tender is the Night, This Side of Paradise (Fitzgerald), Old Goriot (Balzac) and A Tale of Two Cities (Dickens).
Please make this a regular feature!

I'm reading Atonement for a class and it is amazing thus far. Also, Room is on our list and it looks like a great book!
I look forward to more posts like this :) Thanks!

I recommend "In the Woods" and "The Likeness"; both by Tana French. They are contemporary murder mysteries set in Ireland, and both are beautifully written.

I adore this kind of post! And as for a good book recommendation, I would have to say The Great Gatsby. Each time I read it I fall more in love with it. You can never go wrong with a classic novel.

I actually prefer books to clothes, so I would love to see this as a regular feature on your blog.
I (coincidentally) downloaded Dracula yesterday and I already love Ian McEwan, but Ex Libris is now on my reading list. Thanks for the recommendations!

- stephanie said...
I'm so glad you did this post! Please please please do more of these every once in a while. Thanks for recommending those; I've never read White Teeth or Ex Libris, so I'll definitely check those out. Currently I'm in a Faulkner phase - if you've never read Light in August, I would definitely recommend it. xo
- January 24, 2011 at 7:54 PM
BookSeer.com is a lifesaver; it recommends books to you based on books you've previously read. I use it whenever I need to find a new read!

I love reading and I am always looking for new things to read! As far as recommendations I am throwing this out there to cover the SciFi/Fantasy world The Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan. He has a great writing style and I was captivated after reading the first book. Also very funny and made me jump was World War Z. It's about zombies and what would theoretically happen if there was a zombie plague.

Thank you for this post. I absolutely love books. I have read Atonement, White Teeth and Dracula. So glad to now find Money and Ex Libris. Just finished The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman and Waiting For Snow in Havana by Carlos Eire. Currently reading Morality Play by Barry Unsworth, To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis and Devices and Desires by P.D. James. Please make book recommendations a regular part of your blog.

I like this post!
'middlesex' by Jeffrey Eugenides is a current favourite of mine.
I always have a few books on the go....currently they are (in no particular order) 'Nicholas and Alexandra', 'The brain that changes itself', 'The robber bride', and 'Darkly dreaming Dexter'. I've just started the Dexter book as I'm a fan of the show, I hope it doesn't disappoint.
I loved 'White teeth' and also recommend 'on beauty' by zadie smith. I thought it was a great read too.
- January 24, 2011 at 9:09 PM
- CessOviedo said...
I'm a huge fan of Lolita and have read it about 5 times, so I guess Money will do for me! ... I've heard wonders about it, so I'll be looking for it tomorrow at the library and let you know my opinion! ... I'm adding White Teeth to the list as well, haven't read anything contemporary lately.
- January 24, 2011 at 9:13 PM
As everyone else has said, this post is fantastic and I would love more like it.
I just finished my first Tom Robbins - Still Life With Woodpecker - and it has become a kind of Bible for me. There are so many lines that you just want to copy down and remember forever.
Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernieres is another recent read that slayed me - it's got absolutely everything a good book needs, and more.
Atonement is one of my top favorites ever ever ever, I'm so happy to see so many people loving it too!
- January 24, 2011 at 9:25 PM
- Angela said...
Thanks for the suggestions! I would definitely like more posts like this. I have Atonement on my books to read list. I broke my fairly strict rule of reading the book before watching the movie. Did you watch it? Is the book better? Of course it is. The book is ALWAYS better. :) But seriously, do they compare?

Great post! Keep the book recommendations coming! :)
And I love that you mentioned Stoker's Dracula. I love that book, it's amazing.
Also, not the same but in the gothic genre - I loved Anne Rice's The Witching Hour although I never quite got as into any of her other books. But this family saga about a family of witches and warlocks is amazing, a must read.

I love this idea! I'm a huge bookworm! One of my mom's favorite stories about me is that even before I was in kindergarten I would stay awake until midnight reading, and then fall asleep with all my books around me on my bed..... wait did I just share that publicly? Oh, I also read the entire Hardy Boys series in first grade but declined to read any Nancy Drew because my first grade-self thought she was a sissy.
My favorite genre is suspense, specifically contemporary legal or psychological thrillers (love me some John Grisham and Dean Koontz). I got a Kindle for Christmas and have become OBSESSED with it. Literally, I take it everywhere with me, and will pull it out if I have 5 minutes of downtime. I recently downloaded Dracula, and based on your recommendation it sounds great! I'm not much of a Twi-hard, but I'm excited to read it!

It's awesome to hear about what other people have been reading and I would love to hear more. I recently read The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls it was an easy read but has a strong message. I'm currently reading Out of Africa and I'm impressed so far!

I loved this post! I am a total bookworm (my blog is actually all about books), and I love fashion, too. Needless to say, my Google Reader is flooding with both kinds of blogs and I've rarely ever seen crossover in content, which makes me sad. I've often considered posting an OOTD on my blog, but thought I'd alienate readers.
I like seeing what my favorite bloggers are into, even if it's not 100% on topic.
And, who knows - maybe I'll actually post about fashion over on my blog!

Indeed! For people looking for non-fiction, I suggest "The Color of Water," "In An Instant" & "Dreams of My Father." For classics, I love "Pride & Prejudice." I also love "Love in the Time of Cholera." I enjoyed "The Help" too.

Thank you for the list! I'm excited to try Ex Libris! When I graduated from college, my mom got me two shopping bags full of used books since I would now have time to read for fun again!
Right now I'm reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society... it's very cozy and British; I highly recommend it.

I would love more posts like this. I plan to keep track on my blog of books I read once a month for the prior month. So at the beginning of Feb. I will post my list of Jan. books. Right now I am working on "Lost Moon" which is the original edition of the book by James Lovell and some other guy that got re-titled "Apollo 13" after the movie came out. I am such a NASA nut but I'd never read this book before - so I recognize almost all the peoples' names. It's almost like reading a news article about people I knew from high school.
Even if you're not that into NASA, it's a pretty fascinating view of the Apollo program.
Maybe I will read Gene Krantz's book next.

Great recommendations! I love books too but at the moment my schedule gives me only enough time on Kids picture books and short YAs.
Although, I am finding a few minutes a day reading through every ten pages or so of "I, Claudius" by Robert Graves. Tantalizing read.

Love fashion and books. Fun to share once in a while... my two favorites are The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath and Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky. Read them both years ago and still recoil a bit when I see either of them on the shelf. In a good way of course.

I think this is absolutely great. I feel that it is silly the way blogs get classified - they're not books. And while that's part of what is great about books (this one's historical fiction, that's poetry, that's a dictionary, etc.) that's part of what is great about blogs. They can be as diverse and far-reaching as the personalities of their writers. They can be all that we imagine for them. : P
More renaissance blogs, I say! (Also, thanks for the book recommendations! I'll surely be checking a few out soon.)

Yay for book recommendations - do keep them coming! I actually just started a book blog (http://liburuak.wordpress.com - unfortunately it's still a little short on content, but I'm working on it!), and I'm always on the lookout for new recommendations. Even though the pile just keeps growing and growing.
One of my recent favourite reads was "Revolutionary Road" by Richard Yates, which I found both captivating and thought provoking (I also now have a special relationship with that book because it was the first ever review to go on my blog).
And my go-to recommendation for boys is "The unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera, incidentally also my favourite book ever.
Thanks for the recommendations, I will definitely give Dracula a shot now!

YES posts like this, please!
We have similar tastes in books so curious to read some of the ones I haven't read yet that you mention.
Funnily enough, just picked up Atonement this weekend as it's been on my To Read list forever.
- January 25, 2011 at 5:43 AM

Yeah books! Atonement is one of my favorites as well. I, of course, would love to see more posts like this. Books and fashion can go together, more so than people think. ;)

I'd love a post like this from time to time - I've been needing some new reading material. My most recent readings have been old Russian novels (primarily Dostoyevsky), The Master and Margarita (Bulgakov) and 1984 and Animal Farm (Orwell, of course). Yeah, kind of a theme there, I know. I'll definitely check out McEwan, and maybe Martin Amis as well - we just discovered Salinger a few years ago and loved his writing.

- amanda james said...
thanks for sharing. it's great to see that there are others who love to read as much as i do-although i don't have the time at the moment. atonement is one of my favs not only for the book but also for the film which was very well shot.
besides: i am a nerd too and i like to see a post like this once in a while :D

I love these kinds of posts. I'll add some of these to my list. My current recommendations have included:
Fallen {Lauren Kate, for the thousands of Twilight fans}
Garden Spells {romance with some magical twists}

The Crux {Charlotte Gilman Perkins, author of "The Yellow Wallpaper"}

Wow, this is fantastic! And look at all these comments! I'm a nonfiction fan, and it's funny that I was just reading a review of Anne Fadiman's book on my friend's goodreads page and thinking that maybe this one should be my next read.
Your plug for _Dracula_ makes me want to check that one out of the library too :-)

Thank you for sharing! I love recommendation by others.
My last good read was Freedom by Jonathan Frantzen, I did really enjoy it, he's a genius at building believable characters with many layers of depth. His observation of middle class America is brilliant and his description of marriage and family life with flaws and all is superb.
I'd recommend reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, the story of a thoroughly modern and independent woman for her time. It was gripping and the descriptions are brilliant.
I also really enjoyed The House of Sleep by Jonathan Coe (a British author)- the story follows four characters, one of whom is narcoleptic. Very well written.

"Truth and Beauty" by Ann Patchett
"The Undertaking" by Thomas Lynch for essays I wish I had written.
And, yes, keep up with the book recommends! Afterall, your blog is called "What Would a NERD Wear" Not that reading is nerdy. It's completely stylish in my book!

I really think we could be good friends in real life, because I have read half these books (and love them to pieces).
A couple that I cherish:
If you like being nosy and reading other people's diaries: "A Book of One's Own" by Thomas Mallon. A great compendium of different diarists out there, and the types of diaries kept (during war, revolutions, travel, etc.) Awesome excerpts.
If you thought Gone with the Wind was the Greatest Novel Ever About a Geographical Region: "Rhett Butler's People." All told from Rhett's perspective (with bonus early years biographical information!).
If you liked Dante's Inferno and Have a Weird Sense of Humor: "Good Omens," by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. It's the end of the world, and it involves a misplaced spawn of Satan, and an angel and a demon who have gotten too used to loving Earth life. Probably my favorite ever, and not at all sci-fiction.

I'd love a monthly book-suggestions post!
Some of my favorites include:
The Alienist, by Caleb Carr (a team of colleagues attempts to use William James-style psychology to catch a serial killer in turn of the century NYC)
Special Topics in Calamity Physics, by Marisha Pessl (a brilliant girl attempts to make sense of her rather strange senior year of high school- it has a very particular narration style that I loved)
World War Z, by Max Brooks (really excellent! and my new top book-for-a-boy rec)
The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver (the story of an American family in the Congo in the 60's, told alternately from the perspectives of each of the women)
The English Patient, by Michael Ondaatje (such a beautiful, lyric style- perfect for savoring with a cup of tea. And as much as I like Ralph Fiennes, I definitely prefer the book to the movie)
- January 26, 2011 at 8:54 PM
- Newspaper Cut Outs said...
OH! I love to read! But i never have much time due to school and all. I remember one of my favorite modern fiction books was actually, Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl. It was such a gripping novel and I completely enjoyed flipping through it!
its so funny that Maggie also mentioned that one!

Love book posts! I will check out your suggestions. A few people already mentioned but I have to second their recommendations for:
The historian. - best vampire novel I've ever read. everyone I recommend ot too loves it. Read white teeth and am reading On beauty now both by Zadie smith. Last but not least, anything by Tom Robbins is excellent. He is my absolute favorite author. I liked Half asleep in frog pajamas best though!

Hey there,
I found your blog via Kendi's and I really love what you wear. I intend to definitely steal - I mean, be inspired by - your ideas as we approach winter here in Australia (well, what I guess would be the equivalent of autumn/late summer where you are).
Thanks for the book ideas. I'm currently completing a bunch of challenges that I set myself for this year (as this is the year I turn 30) and one of them is to read three classic novels that I should have read by now. So far I have 'Foucault's Pendulum' by Umberto Eco, 'The Brothers Karamazov' by Dostoevsky and now, thanks to you, I think I'll include 'Dracula' in that list. I was looking for a third, so thanks for the recommendation.

An American weeaboo who likes to produce videos of herself "singing" and videos of other such things as a fortune telling octopus. She then posts these videos on popular video sharing website YouTube. She herself looks the age of around 13-14, but that is debatable. As she sings in her videos, her forced open eyes begin to struggle to keep open as her voice struggles to reach the pitch of a dying cat. One thing notable however is the fact that she is double jointed, her video displaying such seems to be the only video worthy of paying attention to. She is a typical weeaboo because as she talks in her videos, she gives the impression that the Japanese speak as though they are shouting out to a room of more than sixty nagging wives and husbands. Her body looks so fragile and that it is nothing more than skin and bone, it is only obvious that her parents starve her so that she can achieve the type of body that they could never have. If you do encounter ruaridoll irl, please glue your ears shut and wait for a fresh breeze to blow the ruaridoll away so that you may remain sane.
Person 1: What is that awful noise? It sounds like a dying cat.
Person 2: It must be ruaridoll making another video

There was a time, not long ago, when the woods and fields of this corner of Southwestern Pennsylvania were alive with grouse and the men with their dogs who hunted them. Those days have passed, but folks who remember them are still around, and many of them called and wrote us to identify the breeders and their dog in last Monday's Mystery Photo.
Ray Stockdale was among a number of readers who could not only identify the Umbel brothers – William and Robert – and their champion tricolor setter Jetrain Junior, more affectionately known as Beau, but also the date on which a similar photo and article about the brothers appeared in the Observer-Reporter April 18, 1980. The Umbels are from Gibson, near Bentleyville.
Paul Carson, then a staff writer for the O-R, wrote the article and took the photo following Beau's winning the Puckety Trophy (held in the photo by Robert) at national field trials in Marienville. The top honors for Open All-Age One-Hour Stake was an essential step toward competing for the Grand National Championship in Michigan, where Beau would later place second.
"The setter, Beau, weighs 45 pounds and can work at a speed for what seems an incredible length of time," wrote Carson.
Beau was one of about 350 dogs bred by the late William Umbel, who along with Robert operated Penn Grouse Kennels for 40 years. "His blood lines were as good as any bloodlines in the nation," Jeffrey Umbel, the youngest of the three brothers, said.
William Umbel died at age 57 on Christmas Day 2004. "It was a heart attack, which was strange because Bill was a non-smoker ... and walked with the dogs every day," his brother Jeffrey said.
Robert Umbel, 71, is now retired and living in Waynesburg. He joined brother Bill in the breeding business in 1966 after returning from a tour of duty in Vietnam. He explained that although grouse have been in the low end of a cycle for 15 years, "there is still cover, and there are still birds."
Hunters and their dogs may be fewer in number here now, but the sport has not died.
By Wednesday of last week, we had received three dozen phone calls and emails correctly identifying the Umbel brothers. We regret that we were not able to return all those calls but do appreciate your help in solving this puzzle and reviving some old memories.
Look for another Mystery Photo in next Monday's edition.

MOON – Coming off a thrilling overtime victory over Trinity earlier this week, Canon-McMillan was hoping to build momentum to secure a playoff spot in Section 4-AAAA with a win at Moon Friday night.
Unfortunately for the Big Macs, things didn't quite go their way in a tough 57-48 loss.
"It's hard to build momentum in this section, and tonight was just a typical section game," said Canon-McMillan head coach Rick Bell. "It's unfortunate because we could have been in the driver's seat with a win, but we still have time to get this one back."
The Big Macs (5-6, 10-9) started slowly but closed the first quarter on a 14-3 run to take a 16-11 lead. But Canon-McMillan couldn't expand on that lead the rest of the half.
Moon (5-6, 9-9) got a three-pointer from Robert Norman at the end of the first half to close the Big Macs' lead to 28-26 at the half.
Brett Haney had five points in the third quarter for the Big Macs, but his teammates added just one other point in the eight minutes as Canon-McMillan went cold from the field.
"We have been that way all season," said Bell. "Sometimes we are a really hot shooting team and sometimes we struggle to make shots. The effort was there, but unfortunately tonight we had a hard time making shots."
Moon didn't run away with the game in the third period, however, as the Tigers scored just 11 points in the third quarter to take a 37-33 lead into the fourth quarter.
What the Tigers did get came from Nicholas Korzi, who had 11 of his game-high 16 points in the second half.
Moon did most of its damage in the second half from the free-throw line, as the Tigers got into the bonus halfway through the third quarter and made 12 free throws in the fourth quarter. Moon got to the line 29 times, compared to just 13 attempts for the Big Macs.
"It looks like a big discrepancy, but when you are down you have to foul," said Bell. "The strategy worked on Tuesday (against Trinity), but not so much tonight."
The Big Macs were led in scoring by Haney with 14, while Sam Bohn also finished in double-figures with 11.
Kyle Bondi added 11 points for the Tigers.
"We needed that," said Moon head coach Jeff Ackermann. "It is as simple as making shots. We have defended well all season, but when we make shots we win games. We didn't shoot great tonight but we made shots when we had to. We stay in games with our defense and free-throw shooting, we need our offense to win us some games sometimes and they did that tonight."

Drilling is safe
Recently released court documents in a supposed water contamination case have given the alarmist media a black eye.
Remember when the "sealed documents" in a case involving the operations in Washington County of MarkWest Liberty Midstream & Resources, Williams Energy and Range Resources suggested the companies were hiding the truth? Remember the homeowner's bold claims regarding harm to their health and that of their children? And remember how the media bought the whole story and never once considered an alternative narrative?
As the documents show, the claims were unfounded, and the homeowner actually signed a sworn affidavit saying there was "no medical evidence" to support their claims. And, as it turns out, the documents were sealed at the request of everyone involved, including the plaintiffs.
The family is healthy, and natural gas development continues to provide benefits to Pennsylvania. In fact, recent studies show increased natural gas use is actually having a positive impact on our state's health by improving our air quality. Maybe the media will be more careful next time before suggesting otherwise.

I have been asked some crazy questions in my recent book interviews, but they are nothing compared to questions I have been asked on job interviews. I remember on a test for the phone company, they listed this gem: "What's bigger, a whale or a guppy?" I kept thinking it was some sort of trick question. When, in reality, they just wanted to make sure you weren't just darkening in circles because it was close to the end of the test.
Glassdoor.com, a job website, came up with a list of the top 25 oddball questions for 2013. There are some real whack-a-doodle questions.
Some of them made a little sense. Trader Joe's, the grocery store chain, asked, "If we were to come to your house for dinner, what would you prepare for us?" That makes sense. I assume the interviewees peppered some TJ's stuff into their answer. It's probably a good way for them to see if the prospective employee has any familiarity with their product line.
Some of the other questions were much more outlandish.
JetBlue asked, "How many quarters would you need to reach the height of the Empire State Building?"
Who would possibly know that? Was that on the pilot's exam or a just a flight attendant's interview? My answer would have to be, "A freaking lot."
The fine people at Dell, the computer company, asked, "What song best describes your work ethic?" A woman named Debbie thought she was being clever when she said, "She works hard for the money," unaware that the song is about a prostitute. Rupaul's "You better work" comes to mind, but, once again, a drag performer may not be the best role model in an interview (I'm pretty sure tramp trumps queen).
Someone at PriceWaterhouseCoopers was asked, "My wife and I are going on vacation. Where would you recommend?" If I recommended a European vacation, they might be looking for a more frugal answer. After all, they are all accountants over there.
Bandwidth.com, an Internet company, asked, "If you could be any kitchen utensil, what would it be?"Answers ranged from spork to spatula. My friend Sandy said, "Nutcracker … because the interviewer must be nuts."
Jiffy Software asked, "Have you ever stolen a pen from work?" I think stolen is a strong word. I have a lot of borrowed pens, but I wouldn't call them stolen. Accidentally walking out with a pen is a lot easier than walking out with a Xerox machine.
Urban Outfitters asked, "If you could pick two celebrities to be your parents, who would they be?" I would have answered, "Rich celebrity parents who wouldn't make me work at Urban Outfitters."
There were questions about how would you direct someone to make an omelet to how to make a tuna fish sandwich. They asked questions about celebrities and songs. Living Social, a coupon website company, even asked interviewees to perform their favorite song.
The next time someone asks you, "Where do you see yourself in five years?," count your lucky stars that they didn't ask you anything weird or rude.

USC renews O'Toole's contract
Dr. Patrick T. O'Toole, superintendent of the Upper St. Clair School District, received the full support of the school board June 18 when his contract was extended for five years through June 30, 2018. He has held the position since March of 2007.
The starting salary will be $160,000 annually.
"The renewal of Dr. O'Toole's contract is in recognition of the district's continued success. The leadership team he has put in place has contributed to the district's high level of recognition at the state and national level," said Barbara Bolas, board president. "The board has been pleased with Dr. O'Toole's performance through his current term."
He earned degrees from Clarion University of Pennsylvania and the University of Pittsburgh. O'Toole began his teaching career in Sandusky, Ohio. He was an associate principal in Greenville and a principal and superintendent in Shenango Township schools. He was also superintendent for South Butler County School District.
O'Toole is president of the Tri-State Area School Study Council at the University of Pittsburgh and treasurer of the South Hills Area School District Association.
"Upper St. Clair has a generational commitment to excellence in education," O'Toole said. "I am fortunate to be the superintendent and to work with an outstanding group of educators, a supportive school board and highly motivated students. I plan to continue to fulfill our district's vision to customize learning, nurture potential, and deliver excellence."

After nearly a year in limbo, Washington County's drug treatment court has a fresh identity and a new judge at the helm.
On Monday, President Judge Debbie O'Dell Seneca signed an administrative order declaring that treatment court will now be called the Washington County Restrictive Treatment Program. The name reflects the program's shift from a national to a state model more in line with the current Restrictive Intermediate Punishment program.
"The defendants that are in this specialty court are already under very intensive supervision by the adult probation office, so it will dovetail into the RIP funding and be treated as part of our intensive programing," she said in an interview.
Additionally, District Judge Curtis Thompson has been tapped to preside over the program's routine matters at least twice a month starting March 13.
While it may be unconventional for a magistrate to preside over a countywide specialty court, O'Dell Seneca said it was necessary to think outside of the box given the courthouse's two empty judicial seats. She said Court of Common Pleas judges will still handle the program's probation revocations and graduation ceremonies.
Judge Paul Pozonsky had presided over the program since its founding in 2005, until O'Dell Seneca stripped him of his criminal trial list in May and halted the admission of new candidates into the treatment. The following month, he suddenly retired after 15 years on the bench amid reports he was the subject of a state investigation.
After Pozonsky's departure, drug treatment court remained afloat thanks to dedicated probation, mental health and drug and alcohol professionals, said O'Dell Seneca. After two graduations before the president judge and recently retired Judge Janet Moschetta Bell, the program is down to a dozen participants. However, the new changes are slated to bolster its enrollment.
O'Dell Seneca said 10 more candidates will be added into the program immediately. Once the newcomers are assimilated, she plans to add another 10 to bring the head count up to the program's original capacity of about 30 people. If the RIP grant is approved by the state, the president judge said she hopes to double that amount to 60 participants starting July 1 and add a second case manager.
"It was never my intention to do away with treatment court," O'Dell Seneca said. "It was to analyze it, to see where the strengths and weaknesses were."
Funding from the state was apparently one of the latter traits – an issue the alignment with the RIP program may remedy. For two years, treatment court was funded through a private grant from the Staunton Farm Foundation of Pittsburgh, which ended in December 2011. O'Dell Seneca said the program has yet to use any money from the county and she doesn't plan to ask for it now.
Washington County Assistant Chief Probation Officer Jon Ridge said the program is aimed at treating defendants who commit criminal acts because of their addiction, not criminals who happens to be addicts. Good candidates are those who do not have violent tendencies and have not been convicted of a major drug dealing or firearms offenses, he said.
Ridge said his officers work with case managers from Washington Drug & Alcohol Commission and other organizations who determine what kind of treatment is appropriate for each candidate.
"We're like the hammer to that nail," he said, explaining that his office is there to provide structure and surveillance, not act as therapists.
Ridge pointed out that not only is the treatment program are cheaper than putting someone behind bars, it may keep its participants from reentering the system. He said the idea that an addict will simply dry out in jail doesn't work.
"If you incarcerate somebody and there's no treatment offered, once they leave the doors, which 99.9 percent are leaving, how are you solving the problem?" he asked. "How are you training these individuals essentially to live sober and become productive members of society?"
According to a federal Bureau of Justice Statistics report released in November, nearly 7 million people – or one in 34 – are incarcerated or under some form of correction supervision in the U.S. in 2011. A report released by the bureau the following month indicates the mean expenditures per inmate at state and private prisons are more than $28,000 per year in 2010.

said by one who is angry or frustrated in a loud angry manner, very similar to the word "shit". its also very useful to middle school aged children who would very much like to say "shit" in front of their teachers, but instead say "shipment" so they wont get punished in a negative manner. in some cases, the child or children, just like to say it because because its just plain fun to say.

I am not used to having blank days on my schedule, so it came as some surprise to have two days this weekend. I had no interviews scheduled, no copy deadlines, no appointments, carpools or meetings. I had two days – completely unscheduled days – at my disposal, and I didn't know exactly what to do with them.
So I told my kids we would go to the park and fulfill some of my son's Cub Scout requirements. The girls were nearly as excited as he was, since they still love the park. It is only a few miles away, but it sometimes seems to be impossible to get there.
I told them that he would plan a picnic for us, lead us on a nature walk and work on some activities like playing soccer and baseball. He was quite excited to be "in charge" of our food and games.
He packed a picnic based on all four food groups – minus the dairy that he and his sister are allergic to – and crossed each item off the list he had made. He gathered the sports equipment and then loaded the car. He was, like a true Scout, always prepared.
On our walk, he led us under gates and up ladders. We went down slides (and fire poles) and swung on monkey bars. We rode rocking horses, some of us looking quite a bit ridiculous as we tried to put our feet into the proper places and keep balance at the same time. The kids found my demeanor (read: discomfort) very amusing.
We looked at historical monuments and talked about their significance. We picked up litter and discussed respecting our environment.
We played baseball, during which time I was all-time pitcher and nearly had my head taken off by a line drive hit by my oldest daughter. We played soccer, during which time I nearly did a complete split attempting some fancy footwork on the ball. It was exciting and exhausting all at once.
After we had played both soccer and baseball, I surprised all of the kids with a trip to the movie theater. We saw "The Croods," which featured a caveman family that, we decided, was a lot like our very own modern-day family, both in their disagreements between and their love for one another. All three kids kept reaching out, attempting to touch the bits of 3-D magic that seemed to be mere inches from our faces. It was a pretty cool, albeit pricey, experience.
On my second day off, I taught my son to ride his bike with no training wheels. It took him less than a half an hour to get the handle of balancing and pedaling. His starting and turning still need some work, but he'll get it, I'm sure. Then the girls came out and rode with us, racing past one another and splashing through puddles. We were all muddy messes by the time it was over, but it was well worth it. We changed clothes and cuddled together watching a movie with my husband once he was free from chores.
It was one of the best weekends we have had in a long time, and it reminded me to be thankful for my many blessings.

This post is brought to you by Harrison Gordon, a Program Manager on the Excel Services team.
What exactly is an Excel Mashup? With Web Excel, you can embed workbooks into your website or blog. This alone is really powerful and lets you show a workbook directly in your website (it also lets you easily sort, filter, and interact with the workbook as if you were in Web Excel). For more info on embedding a workbook, check out our previous blog post here. If you embed the workbook as a mashup, you can add JavaScript to your website to set or grab data and "mash" it up with other services or functionality. There are a ton of things you can do, but here are a few to give you just a taste of what's possible:
- Grab data from Facebook, Twitter, or any other source and add it to a table in an Excel workbook for easy sorting, filtering, and pivoting.
- Take data from an Excel workbook and visualize it in ways you can't in Excel.
Use the Excel Button to quickly add sorting, filtering, and charts to HTML table data in your website or blog.
Great! How do I make one?
ExcelMashup.com has all of the resources you need to get coding with Web Excel right away. Want to add the Excel Button? Try it out and then create the Excel Button code using our Excel Button generator. Want to see what's possible with our JavaScript API? Walk through examples, tutorials, and use the JavaScript code explorer to get started writing code.
Go forth and code!
To show the power of Excel Mashups and how quickly you can build one, here's a Magic 8 Ball example (let's call it the "Excel 8 Ball"). I created a workbook in Excel that randomly chooses between the original 8 Ball's 20 iconic responses:
I could just embed this workbook onto my webpage, but then how would my visitors be able to "shake" the 8 ball? It's no fun until you get the answer you want, after all.
This is where the magic of Excel Mashups come in – I can add a button to my website called "Shake!" and use that to tell my workbook to recalc – that will change the value on my Excel 8 ball.
Step 1: Upload the workbook to SkyDrive
Upload the workbook to SkyDrive – you can download this workbook here.
Step 2: Create the Javascript Embed Code
Open the workbook in the Excel Web App. In the Home ribbon, press "Share" -> "Embed". Your configurator should look like this (note that "Ball" is selected and the Embed code is "JavaScript"):
Copy the Embed Code on the bottom.
Step 3: Add the Embed Code to your webpage
This is the tricky part, so I'll walk you through some tips to make this easier. Let's take a look at the copied code and break it down:

This is the DIV that we will place the workbook in – you should copy/paste it into the appropriate spot in your website.
