I May Not Know Much About Life: Book Ten -- Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire
http://telereads.blogspot.com/2008/10/book-ten-confessions-of-ugly-stepsister.html
I May Not Know Much About Life. But i know what i like. Saturday, October 25, 2008. Book Ten - Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire. Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister. Look at Oz and since my spouse-person happened to have this book on hand as well, I figured I might as well see if it was any good. The Cinderella myth is not one of my favorites, but then I'm not that fond of fairy tales in general. This version, however, really did pull me in. From England after Margarathe's. I'd buy more...

I May Not Know Much About Life: Book Seven -- The Reckoning by Sharon Kay Penman
http://telereads.blogspot.com/2008/10/book-seven-reckoning-by-sharon-kay.html
I May Not Know Much About Life. But i know what i like. Wednesday, October 22, 2008. Book Seven - The Reckoning by Sharon Kay Penman. And so I come to the end of Penman's Wales books. To be honest, The Reckoning. Is a bit of a disappointment. It picks up shortly after Falls the Shadow. And deals with the conflict between Llewelyn. And Edward I (also known as Edward Longshanks. Over the ultimate fate of Wales. There's yet another woman involved, Simon de. Daughter Ellen, promised to Llewelyn. The Great or...

I May Not Know Much About Life: Take to the streets and possibly scare and or offend people? Damn right!
http://telereads.blogspot.com/2008/11/take-to-streets-and-possibly-scare-and.html
I May Not Know Much About Life. But i know what i like. Sunday, November 16, 2008. Take to the streets and possibly scare and or offend people? So, over in this post. And in reply to comments to it, Artaxastra thinks the GLBT people and their allies who have taken to the streets are like the KKK. She thinks we should concentrate on getting people to like us, that we should be conciliatory and we should step back and work carefully and not try to scare anyone. Was the Mormon Church. No, of course not.

I May Not Know Much About Life: Book Twenty-three -- Empress (Godspeaker, Book One) by Karen Miller
http://telereads.blogspot.com/2008/12/empress-godspeaker-book-one-by-karen.html
I May Not Know Much About Life. But i know what i like. Wednesday, December 3, 2008. Book Twenty-three - Empress (Godspeaker, Book One) by Karen Miller. Have you ever read a book only to find that you don't like the majority of the characters, you find the writing to be mediocre at best, you think the world-building only succeeds some of the time and yet.you find yourself wanting to read the next page (and the next book in the series) because you really have to know what happens next? Of the nameless, mo...

I May Not Know Much About Life: Book Five -- Consider Phlebas by Iain M Banks
http://telereads.blogspot.com/2008/10/book-five-consider-phlebas-by-iain-m.html
I May Not Know Much About Life. But i know what i like. Tuesday, October 14, 2008. Book Five - Consider Phlebas by Iain M Banks. Iain M. Banks. Well that was bit of a romp with an annoying ending. The first of Banks' novels set in the world of "The Culture", Consider Phlebas. Follows a fairly standard plot line. A "Mind," an AI capable of running a space ship, escapes an attack on its ship and lands on Schar's. World, a Planet of the Dead. It's a valuable thing/person and both sides of the Idiran. I shou...

I May Not Know Much About Life. But i know what i like. Wednesday, December 3, 2008. This one was going around LJ the other day (although you were writing a poem and not a song) and now I see that both Figgy and Marra have done it, and because I am about the stealing of good ideas, and also about procrastination, I'm going to do it again here. First phrase from iTunes songs on shuffle 1-20; 21 - song title, 22 - band name. Turn Your Ugly Face. By I Had a Dream. I was born by an old streetlight. 14 Journe...

I May Not Know Much About Life: Book Two -- Here Be Dragons by Sharon Kay Penman
http://telereads.blogspot.com/2008/10/book-two-here-be-dragons-by-sharon-kay.html
I May Not Know Much About Life. But i know what i like. Tuesday, October 7, 2008. Book Two - Here Be Dragons by Sharon Kay Penman. After reading crappy historical fiction, I wanted to read the good stuff, so I went for the first of Sharon Kay Penman's Welsh Trilogy, because I love her book. The Sunne In Splendour. Which is about Richard III and the War of the Roses. To Serve and Submit. A girl's gotta take a break from the weighty stuff and have a little fluffy fun. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

I May Not Know Much About Life: Book Six -- Falls the Shadow by Sharon Kay Penman
http://telereads.blogspot.com/2008/10/book-six-falls-shadow-by-sharon-kay.html
I May Not Know Much About Life. But i know what i like. Saturday, October 18, 2008. Book Six - Falls the Shadow by Sharon Kay Penman. Is a tragedy, even the name gives it away. It follows the life of Simon de Montfort and Llewelyn of Wales. This isn't Llewelyn Fwar (the Great) who was one of the main characters of. Rather, it's his grandson, who is trying to hold together his grandfather's dream of a free or at least a united Wales against the treachery of his brothers. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

I May Not Know Much About Life: Book Eighteen -- Anathem by Neal Stephenson
http://telereads.blogspot.com/2008/11/book-eighteen-anathem-by-neal.html
I May Not Know Much About Life. But i know what i like. Thursday, November 20, 2008. Book Eighteen - Anathem by Neal Stephenson. I've been putting off this review for a while because I feel a little like Wayne and Garth- not worthy. However I need to move on and so here I am, taking my best stab at it. I'm going to try to avoid too many spoilers, but some are inevitable, as are excessive italics, due to many made-up words. On a world known as Arbe. Cloistered scholars who live in maths. Not so much, actu...
