Qualia is the subjective experience of brain function. The hope is that we'll find out some things about what it means to be literate, as I experience an absurd challenge to read 100 books in one year. View my complete profile.

One Year of One Hundred Books. Saturday, December 25, 2010. The second half was a bit more what I expected - white come in, mess with the local culture through a mix of technology, religion, government, well-meaning, cruelty, and ignorance. Perhaps Achebe was able to open some eyes with the way he ended it. I thought it was fitting. All in all, I'm glad I read it. I'm sure you already did. Labels: 100 in 2010.

One Year of One Hundred Books. Tuesday, November 23, 2010. And let's not get started on the famous misogyny - his wife and mistresses and daughters barely rate a mention, though his wife is one of the more admirable figures in literature. Maybe that's how Buck chose to make a feminist point - I sincerely hope so. Well, now I really enjoyed it for the most part, I'm glad I read it. Labels: 100 in 2010. December 7, 2010 at 2:41 PM.

One Year of One Hundred Books. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. So a young boy uses his blue eyes to see the world in color and magically receive memories from another blue-eyed old man via backrubs, escapes the Soviet Union, saves his brother from infanticide, and dies of hypothermia while hallucinating about Christmas. END SNARKY SPOILER ALERT. Lowry makes the day-to-day believable in this communist community, and very fairly puts a lot of good qualities into this well-organized society. Labels: 100 in 2010.

One Year of One Hundred Books. Wednesday, September 22, 2010. On Basilisk Station has been on my list since I read David Weber's "Oath of Swords" and "The War God's Own" and somehow loved them. Those were in his own fantasy world (knights, armor, gods, dwarves, engineering), whereas I know a lot of people seem to like his larger sci-fi Honor Harrington series. This is the first one.

One Year of One Hundred Books. Sunday, February 21, 2010. What, you were expecting me to read Camus' The Stranger and attempt to give an intelligent literary or philosophical review that says something profound and new? Not even going to try. I will, however, posit that Meursault, the main character, is actually a self-absorbed, psychopathic Ford Prefect. That went to Algeria after he realized that he was stuck on Earth while writing the Earth entry to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I guess I was ...

One Year of One Hundred Books. Thursday, November 18, 2010. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them.". Labels: 100 in 2010. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

One Year of One Hundred Books. Wednesday, January 20, 2010. I admired some of his wordplay, it was lyrical and sometimes provided good imagery, and I imagine the dialect as written was interesting in the 20s. The stream-of-consciousness writing is often clever, when you can follow it. And it really does show the total fall of this family. I guess I expected more? Labels: 100 in 2010.

Thursday, December 31, 2009. I know you all know how I have some pretty nice coworkers. I managed to get a small group of them to do a holiday cookie swap at the office, thanks to the help of one of my coworkers, Chris, who shared the idea. It was my very first cookie swap and it was so much fun to see what people came up with. There were eight of us total and I think everyone came up with really neat treats. Funny how none of us did something easy like chocolate chip cookies. Anne's walnut ball cookies.
