Moloka'i by Alan Brennert
Moloka'i
by Alan Brennert (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013
I found the premise interesting, but the story was a bit clunky. The way Brennert attempted to weave historical events into the story didn't always (or ever) feel natural. Sometimes I wondered about the point of some of the events included or where t...more

The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
The Remains of the Day
by Kazuo Ishiguro
read in March, 2013
While the pace of this novel is slower, as classic fiction often is, and the themes subtle, I got where Ishiguro was going with all of Steven's philosophical wanderings and was never discouraged. What Stevens is really asking with "was I good butler?...more

Love is a Mix Tape by Rob Sheffield
Love is a Mix Tape
by Rob Sheffield
read in April, 2013
I picked up this book because of the title. I loved the idea of the intense power of music to draw on memory and expected my own memories to mesh with the story. But I found Sheffield's mesh of music unusual, sometimes jarring, and I found myself not...more

Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward
Salvage the Bones
by Jesmyn Ward
recommended for: language (lots of f words), sexual content, dog fighting, physical injury
read in March, 2013
About 3/4 of the way through this book, I remembered I had no obligation to read every word and started skimming what was supposed to be the interesting part of the story. The story is well written, the writing beautiful at times, and the characters...more

Apple Inc.
“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
