omg....

I didn't know that this thing was still alive!! Well it might be dead now, now that I stepped in. Am I too late to respond to that 72hr deal??

Ok I've read The Historian: pretty good book it was a while back so if my memory serves me right, it was about Dracula... That's pretty much all I remember. But I definitely recommend anyway since it was defnitely a page-turner. It's something you would read if you have a lot of time on your hands. (are you guys reading this now??)

If you watched Sayuri already, you should have read the book first Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden.

Anyway I don't have anything worth saying about these books but I will recommend some since that's exactly what you guys need right now...

Heartbreaking Works of a Staggering Genius - Dave Eggers
It's a semi-autobiography. The story starts of when his mother dies slowly of liver cancer, when it had only been a few months before that his father died, leaving him and his sibilings orphans (they're all over eighteen except the youngest). But he ends up being the one to take care of the youngest of them, Topher. It sounds heavy, but its really not. Its pretty hilarious at times, and it pretty much speaks specifically to our generation.


Middlesex - by Jeffery Eugenides
As the title gives it away, its about a hermaphrodite... person who begins his (because that's what he lives as later in life) story with his grandparents', who also happen to be his great-uncle and great-aunt I believe, near death escape from Greece. Its a crazy story, but its fun to read because it's told like an autobio.


The Tipping Point - by I forgot who....
This is an interesting perspective book that's actually might be good for an actual discussion. Hey! imagine that. It basically this guy telling the world his belief that there are four types of people in this world that basically make it turn. Also other stuff that he really doesn't support to well, except with facts that seem legite, but then again I'm sure there are a hundred more pieces of evidence to suggest otherwise. (Jess and Ellie this is a perfect length for the 12hr. plane ride to Japan)


sorry last book, also my favorite...

The Google Story - By David Wise
This is a pretty awesome story. Its a look into the world of Google and the two bosses, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, that started it, figuratively, in their basement. If you feel like you've been reading too much fiction, and you want a fresh book that'll get you out of la-la-land then look no further this is the book. It also revealed some secrets to the Google search engine that I didn't know about (well maybe they really weren't that hidden). Also it made me a Google fan, so if you don't want to be... like if you're dad works for Microsoft or something like that then steer clear. I just love Google cuz gmail allows me to chat at work under the radar.

oh yea and 100 Years of Solitude is virtually unreadable to me. You either love it or hate it. I don't get it are they in a village in the past or in the present? and Gypsies??? Come ON!

fin.
