This Week's Top Ten Books Are


Possibly worst movie adaptation EVER.  You have been warned.

This week was so tough at first, and then out came pouring the titles...

1. The Goldfinch - Donna Tartt

2. The God of Small Things - Arundhati Roy

3. Strasberg’s Method - Lorrie Hull

4. The Diamond Age - Neal Stephenson

5. The Portrait of a Lady - Henry James

6. The Road Less Traveled - M. Scott Peck


8. The Mistress of Spices - Chitra Divakaruni

9.  Holder of the World - Bharati Mukherjee

10.  Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas - Hunter S. Thompson


How hard it is to write a book.  

How infinitely unreasonable it is to have written a masterpiece.

Quote of the Week - Roy

"That's what careless words do. They make people love you a little less."


It is so extremely important to use our words properly right now.  We are at a crossroads with the Occupy movements, with foreign policy, with our humanity.  Let's care more and tread slowly.
