So Many Books: 1990-2006
http://somanybooks.blogspot.com/2006/12/1990-2006.html
The agony and ecstasy of a reading life. Tuesday, December 26, 2006. After an inconclusive chest x-ray and a bunch of other tests, it turned out the upper respiratory infection was minor. The real problem was heart failure. So we said goodbye to Kamir last night. Posted @ 12/26/2006 08:49:00 AM. Find me at http:/ somanybooksblog.com. Emerson on English Universities and Religion. Snow, Books, and Food. A Reading Update of Sorts. Ten Things I Love That Start With the Letter P. The Devil Is a Gentleman.

So Many Books: Emerson on English Literature
http://somanybooks.blogspot.com/2006/12/emerson-on-english-literature.html
The agony and ecstasy of a reading life. Saturday, December 30, 2006. Emerson on English Literature. Today we have Emerson's take on English Literature. English here does not mean the language, but the country. And following along with his other essays in English Traits. He does not hesitate to name the good, the bad, or the ugly. Emerson admits to there being exceptions, but these are few and English science, but especially its literature, is in sad straits. I understand his argument and like to thi...

So Many Books: The Problem With Reading History
http://somanybooks.blogspot.com/2006/12/problem-with-reading-history.html
The agony and ecstasy of a reading life. Tuesday, December 26, 2006. The Problem With Reading History. The problem with reading a book about the history of western philosophy is that one encounters authors/philosophers that one has heard about but never read. I am now faced with the decision to either make it a point to read them or consign them to the bin of "books I'd like to read if I were immortal." The difficulty with tossing them into the bin, of course, is that I know. I will lose out. I know.

So Many Books: Moral Disorder
http://somanybooks.blogspot.com/2006/12/moral-disorder.html
The agony and ecstasy of a reading life. Wednesday, December 27, 2006. Margaret Atwood. Does just the mention of her name make you swoon like it does me? Next to Virginia Woolf, Atwood is my favorite prose writer. She has a dry sense of humor and the ability to choose just the right word. I also love that she takes risks. No one can accuse her of writing the same book over and over again. I finished reading Moral Disorder. This afternoon. Would you be surprised if I said I loved it? And then there is "Th...

So Many Books: Your Opinion Matters
http://somanybooks.blogspot.com/2006/12/your-opinion-matters.html
The agony and ecstasy of a reading life. Wednesday, December 27, 2006. Okay, so I've set up a blog at wordpress. I am not able to tinker with the template unless I fork over some cash. I'd prefer the post font to be bigger and I'd like the color to be more burgundy than red (I do have other color options like blue, bright green, orange, and purple) but it isn't bad. What do you all think? Posted @ 12/27/2006 01:51:00 PM. Find me at http:/ somanybooksblog.com. The Problem With Reading History. Waterboro P...

So Many Books: August 2004
http://somanybooks.blogspot.com/2004_08_01_archive.html
The agony and ecstasy of a reading life. Tuesday, August 31, 2004. Pornography, Women and Meat. It was with much anticipation that I began Carol J Adams' book The Pornography of Meat. I had read her book Sexual Politics of Meat. Several years ago and was much impressed. It was the first book I had read that connected politics, feminism and meat eating and was a real eye opener even though I had been vegan for many years. However, The Pornography of Meat. How does some one. Adams goes on to say that this ...

So Many Books: January 2004
http://somanybooks.blogspot.com/2004_01_01_archive.html
The agony and ecstasy of a reading life. Saturday, January 31, 2004. I know this isn't officially about books, but it is my Power book. I am talking about so technically. You may have heard about Bookcrossing. On NPR or seen something about it on television, but if you're like me you thought "wow that's cool." You had a brief fantasy about finding one of the released books on a park bench and then forgot about the whole thing. But then I was flipping through the pages of mental floss. The Joy of Lists.

So Many Books: June 2004
http://somanybooks.blogspot.com/2004_06_01_archive.html
The agony and ecstasy of a reading life. Tuesday, June 29, 2004. The title for the next Harry Potter book was announced on J.K. Rowling's website. And in the news. Apparently there was some hoax that the title was "Harry Potter and the Pillar of Storge" but it will be Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I kind of like Pillar of Storge better myself). On her site, Rowling says that the half blood prince is neither Harry (obvious) or Voldemort. She also says that Chamber of Secrets. It is human nature,...
