i think this appealed to me more since i had the actual experience of being a male teenager. the characters are detailed but the story seemed a bit lackadaisical (much like the transition from high school to life after). being mcmurtry's first novel, i'm willing to pardon the transgressions and experimentation for the greatness he creates later in his writing life. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59662339 to: The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less (Paperback) by Barry Schwartz
besides being a more than a little exhaustive in research, analysis and examples, the last chapter contains some wonderful strategies for combating choice paralysis and ensuring more satisfaction out of the choosing you do. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62913839 to: Breakfast of Champions (Paperback) by Kurt Vonnegut
as an introduction to vonnegut (surprisingly this is my first), i was pleasantly surprised. his wry wit, direct writing style and ironic observations hit me where my mood has been lately. and i am always a sucker for pictures in fiction. in the end i can see why readers tear into his entire book list. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66010564 Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (Paperback) by Seth Grahame-Smith

fantastic in it's totality of vision and sparseness of words. because of the overwhelming bleakness, sparks of humanity and levity provide enjoyable relief. easily the best book i've read this year and perhaps in a longer while. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60875323 The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite (Hardcover) by David A.
