Author Comments: 

and the list continues . . . new books only, not counting re-reads.

Well, Lord of the Rings is a re-read, but so long ago I'm counting it as new. Lord knows I remembered little enough of it.

Books read more than a decade ago count as new, I've decided. Particularly with my (lack of) memory.

How embarrassing . . . The only thing I've read on hear besides the Tolkien is A Bad Beginning. Parenthood (and movie-watching (and Listology maintenance)) has certainly put a crimp in my formerly-voracious reading habits.

kbuxton03/18/2002

You've got me beat. The only thing I've even heard of (much less read) is the Tolkien.

timepiece03/18/2002

Well, as you can tell from the titles, many are murder mysteries.

Also, I'm a librarian, so I tend to see and pick up a lot of stuff other people never even hear of.

kbuxton03/18/2002

Ahh cool. I've actually pondered going back to school for an MLS degree. If you've got any advice on that I'd love to hear it.

timepiece03/18/2002

Well, technically, I'm a trainee. I only started school this semester, so i don'y have much to say about it yet.

If you don't have an MLS program handy, more and more are available online.

kbuxton03/19/2002

I've thought about the online MLS but somehow that seems like you'd miss out on the rest of the fun of being back in school and meeting people and such.

dgeiser1303/26/2002

Deb, are the most recently read titles on the bottom?

timepiece03/26/2002

Yes, most recent are on the bottom. I don't know why I do it that way, except that's how I started and I don't want to redo it in reverse.

dgeiser1303/26/2002

How is the Slonczewski book? I've always wanted to read her...

timepiece03/26/2002

I heard great things about it, but it didn't really do it for me. There was quite a lot of politics about who would be in charge of this world, and I'm very apolital. I would have liked more about the science, and the culture, descriptions of the other life forms . . . etc.

Plus, it didn't have much of an ending. It didn't seem like anything really got decided. I was very disappointed, actually.

AAA04/13/2002

What is 'Fast Girls' about, and is it any good?

timepiece04/13/2002

It was interesting. It's about how the high school slut seems to be almost an archetype in America, how all the rumors spread about the girls are almost identical, and the girls themselves always seem to be of a certain type - and not necessarily actual sluts. Just a study of the phenomenon.

AAA04/13/2002

Hmm, that's a topic of interest for me. I'll keep an eye out for that one.

Nick Vane10/30/2002

I'm curious about "Breasts: The Woman's Perspective on an American Obsession". Did you find the book informative? What was the thesis, if any, of the author?

timepiece11/01/2002

Uh, that was a while ago, let me think. It dealt with several subjects, breastfeeding, fashion, porn, cancer, etc. I was intrigued that many cultures don't find breasts particularly erotic, and almost no one has fetishished them to the extent of the US.

My memory is not good at all - had you asked in April I would be able to tell you a lot more.

Nick Vane11/02/2002

I wasn't here in April. but that's my regret, not yours...
