8220;Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.” (John Green, The Fault in Our Stars). Monday, April 29, 2013. Let’s Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson (2012). I give a wide berth to writers, so it is rare that I actually dislike a book. I may not like it, but that does not mean that I dislike it. I do not fi...

Choke by Chuck Palahnuik. October 29, 2010. Published by Anchor Books, 2002. 8220;Sinful” isn’t the right word, but it’s the first word that comes to mind (This line recurs throughout the novel).

June « 2012 « strong at the broken places - triathlon beginnings
https://strongbrokentri.wordpress.com/2012/06
Strong at the broken places – triathlon beginnings. The saga of one witless amateur's attempts to avoid injury and mediocrity. While running. And reading. And not drowning. Really Stupid Things I Have Done. Monthly Archives: June 2012. It was always an impossible task, and that was precisely the point. The attempt was all. – Ian McEwan. But I’d be less than honest if I claimed that I wasn’t in a funk for a few weeks as I tried to reset myself for another target. Anyone who’s read this blog knows th...

Pygmies and Peanut Butter: May 2011
http://pygmiesandpb.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Pygmies and Peanut Butter. Reading begets reading begets reading. Readers beget readers too, I think. Tuesday, May 3, 2011. Bloglette: Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris. Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary. 2010, Little, Brown and Company. So it was with delight, then, that I turned to Sedaris's first. Work of published fiction in over fifteen years, Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk. Share is the very kernel of what makes Sedaris so lovable: his seemingly endless supply of hilarity. Does: introduces...

8220;Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.” (John Green, The Fault in Our Stars). Monday, March 18, 2013. Dear Clubber Recruit (Does “clubber” not sound cool? It has the intimations of a lazy lounger, potential serial killer, and a sexy jazz warbler, all rolled in two syllables),. Time has a way of dematerializing quickly these days.

Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Church →. From Prairies to Corn Fields to Riverboats and Back Again. February 9, 2011. Southern Saskatchewan is very flat. This picture was taken on the outskirts of Weyburn, SK. In September, my dad and I took a road trip home to the Greater Cincinnati, Ohio, Area. I grew up in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio, but I haven’t lived there for almost ten years. This trip was my first time home in four years, so I was excited to see family and friends. An old barn in Minnesota.
