Memoirs

Chicago director Rob Marshall's pretty but empty (or pretty empty) film has all the elements of an Oscar® contender: solid adaptation (from Arthur Golden's bestseller), beautiful locale, good acting, lush cinematography. But there's something missing at the heart, which leaves the viewer sucked in, then left completely detached from what's going on. It's hard to find fault with the fascinating st

“Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac,” by Gabrielle Zevin is a wonderful novel about a girl's reaction to amnesia.When Naomi wakes up in an ambulance on her way to the hospital she can't remember how she got there. But unfortunately that's not all that she has forgotten. Naomi can't remember her boyfriend, or why she fell in love with him in the first place. She can't remember her parent's divorc

This week’s assignment is to post a photo essay depicting our summer.

      Yeah!! I'm really excited about sharing this week :-) My family loves history. If I ever go back to college and get a degree it will be in history; in fact, I'd probably major and minor in history!!

      My name is Sallie and I've been homeschooling our four children (a girl and three boys) off and on since our special needs child was in 1st grade; he continued to have problems and when we discovered that the teacher really didn't care and was actually mean to him (and us!!!) on a regular basis, we brought everyone home to homeschool.

Up until recently I had never picked up a non-fiction book that wasn’t some form of required reading. The one book that got me on a temporary non-fiction roll was A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah. I had seen an interview with Ishmael Beah on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and was moved [...]

Some of you may know that there are companies that can turn your blog into a book. I back up my blog (just in case something catastrophic happens), but now that I have three years of posts I decided it would be nice to start getting hard-covered bound books created.

With the advent of summer finally here, it was time to clean out my son's closet this weekend.

I have reviewed a few personal blogs since I started offering free reviews in November 2007.

What can you say in six words? There is a new book out that says a lot or at the very least makes you wonder some about the person who wrote it. It is titled NOT QUITE WHAT I WAS PLANNING: SIX WORD MEMOIRS BY WRITERS FAMOUS AND OBSCURE.I know about it because of working in the bookstore. It's one of the books we are "encouraging." I'm not sure it is one that I would personally pick, but it does garnish a little interest. Not sure if it is urban legend or not, but the story goes that someone once challenged Ernest Hemingway to write a story in six words. He reportedly wrote "For sale: Baby shoes, never worn." Thus, the idea for the book.At the bookstore, the rage has been to come up with your own six word memoir. They usually elicit more questions and quizzical looks than anything. My first

This is part two of a two part series. Please go here to read Part 1. First of all, I began to realize that in the Bible - Old Testament and New Testament - God is portrayed as caring very much about all creation, animals included. For example, when God explains his deep compassion for the wicked, immoral city of Ninevah, he addresses this love not only to the number of people living there, but includes the "many cattle" as well. This is just one example; granted, we American Christians haven't focused on these aspects of Bible stories and commands but they are there in plenty. Then too, there are the specifics on treating animals in the Bible's Old Testament, leading to the laws of Kosher. But Christians don't have to follow this, right? The early Jewish/Christian leaders had a discussi

This is the first in a two part series - and its one of those posts where I would be so grateful if you would read and weight in on...First, you must know that I'm a meat and potatoes girl through and through. I grew up in rural Midwest farm land; I didn't personally live on a farm but most of my best friends did. We got our milk and meat literally still warm from the farm, not from the store. These farmers gave every ounce of their lives' energy to the care and nurture of their land, crops, and animals; in return, they ate and lived modestly, a full part of nature and not in any way disconnected from it. I loved this lifestyle, and I miss it. In the actual circle of life every living creature labors and toils to survive; every living thing both consumes and is consumed; even we at the top

This summer I have to read all of Austen's novels (all of which I have collected in old Penguin classics) which will include rereading the two or three I have read before. Finished Northanger Abbey in which, to be honest, Catherine Morland has got on my tits with her 'mortifications' at the most trivial things concerning the things she fantasises over - old abbeys and old men.I am also reading Elizabeth Gaskell's Mary Barton simultaneously, which contains as much misery as is possible (father dies one night; infant twins the next) and is taking too many nights to get through, but it's a refreshingly different world from the fancy balls and petty 'remonstrances' of the corsetted-up Thorpes and Tilneys.

Similarly, reporters who interviewe

If you’ve been reading this blog, you know how much BS there is in finance—and how detrimental it can be—but now it turns out there’s even more BS in publishing. Publishing memoirs that is.

Can you describe your life in six words? That's what the editors of storytelling magazine SMITH asked readers in 2006; the results, though decidedly uneven, make for compulsive reading and prove arguably as insightful as any 300+ page biography. Taken as a whole, this cascade of quotes from contributors famous and unknown creates a dizzying snowball effect of perspectives and feelings. Highlights from professional writers and artists include journalist Chuck Klosterman wondering, "Nobody cared, then they did. Why?"; pop singer-songwriter Adam Schlesinger lamenting, "We still don't hear a single"; and comic strip artist Keith Knight illustrating "I was a Michael Jackson impersonator." At their best, these nano-memoirs evoke the same kind of rich emotional responses as a good story: 9 year o

Britney Spears is turning to Hollywood to try to save he career with a movie about a "medicated” child. The star is in talks to appear in the upcoming Memoirs of a Medicated Child to play the loyal girlfriend of a misdiagnosed mental patient. "She will be able to draw from some of her own life experiences, including her recent courtroom dramas and family infighting, for her role,” one insider said. Tommy Parker, CEO of 2 Guys and a Dream Films, is the director and producer of the movie. "As far as Britney's concerned, we're talking,” he confirmed. It is also reported that Lindsay Lohan was originally offered the part because they thought she'd be a better actor, but they changed their mind and wanted Britney instead.

Jonathan Tobin writes about John Bolton's new memoir of his time as UN ambassador, Surrender is Not an Option. And among the arguments Bolton includes in his book: "I didn't like the direction of our policy on too many issues, particularly Iran, North Korea and Arab-Israeli issues," he says. Under the ascendancy of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, things would, in his opinion, "only get

Just remember, no matter how bad your life seems, there's always someone worse off. It's starting to make sense to me why those darn pacifiers always go missing... And yes, this post is partially in response to an anonymous commenter's request to see more pictures of my "odd-looking" children. I'm still scratching my head at that one.

Memoirs (or memoir-ish non-fiction) command six of the nine spots in my store's "front window." As I've said before, I have only fairly recently developed a readerly soft-spot for the genre. Who can resist a personal narrative well delivered, though, right?Well, I'm knee-deep in a new one: If I Am Missing or Dead: A Sister's Story of Love, Murder, and Liberation (Janine Latus).The subject -- domestic violence -- is hardly unexplored territory, but Latus writes with voice so likeable, familiar, and right there that in these early chapters, I feel as if I could sidle up to her younger self and whisper, "You're making a series of bad choices -- mostly because your father is such a despicable human being. Let me help you. Please."But a train is bearing down on this girl of tender age (my bookmark rests on the page in which the young Latus has just received a note from her mother in her locker), and nothing this involved reader says will change its course. More when I finish. Until the

If you've been reading my blog for a while or if you've read my archives you know that I have a long history of being somewhat of a prankster.I've also recently told you that I like to tease my husband and kids endlessly. Sometimes when my kids ask me what's for dinner I tell them we are having stink weed soup, baked skunk cabbage or skewered iguana brains garnished with buffalo hoof shavings. Though this is one of the most commonly used tools in my bag of tricks, they still continue to be convinced that I'm serious if I have a poker face and if the smell of something delightful isn't filling their nasal cavities, convincing them that I must be fibbing.They still say, "Are you serious Mom?" Of course I keep the charade up for a few more minutes until finally they remember that I've tried this trick on them a few hundred times before and never have they yet had the distinct pleasure of knowing just how skunk cabbage tastes.When I was in college I was no different. Of course I

The Qantas flight attendant who was recently fired over a mile-high-club-fling with actor Ralph Fiennes, a passenger at the time, tells all in a recent interview with The Mail. While her tale may remain a faraway fantasy for some, she details the exhilaration of being in a surreal scene like out of a movie."When I told him I was going for a break, he said, "I might come and visit you for a chat, if that's OK." I was a bit surprised, but also thrilled. I said, "Sure."' ... It was 11pm and most of the other passengers were asleep. ... By this point they were sitting so close their faces were just inches apart. Lisa said: 'He held my hands. Then he started kissing me. The kissing was very passionate and his hands were all over me. I just melted. 'He was caressing my neck, holding my head and he started undoing the buttons on my dress. The way he was going, he would have made love to me right there. But I was afraid my supervisor might pull back the curtain and catch us. Eventually, I

The most tragic thing about the recent wave of political correctness is that people who stick up for themselves and the basic rights of man end up being tarred with the same brush as the sometimes despicable people who are scapegoated as the reason for the loss of rights. Take this story for example. Criminal memoirs to be outlawed - Scotland's justice minister says plans to ban memoirs written by convicted criminals are being drawn up. [BBC News] On the face of it, it is easy enough to nod your head and say 'fair enough too, they shouldn't profit from crime'. What happened to the concept of rehabilitation though? If a man does something wrong, gets caught and goes to gaol, so long as he finishes his sentence, surely he is somewhat entitled to consider that he has paid the debt to society? read more

It was the first time in a long while that I had been scheduled to take the early morning shift. Usually if I work breakfast, I clock in at 8:00. However, someone went down sick, so the formidable 6:00 AM slot fell to me. As I walked into the restaurant, I felt good. It was a crisp, clear morning. I encountered no omens on my drive in. As we opened the doors and a few old-timers trickled in, I thought This won't be so bad. I'll probably just have a few guests. Nothing to strenuous. Then I'll sit back relax, sip some Hot tea and eat a few syrup sopped biscuits in the break room...Little did I know that this was to be the longest morning of my commercial culinary career. The following takes place between 6:21 and 7:43 AM.As I walked up to the table I realized that I had waited on them before, though I couldn't remember if it was a pleasant or a vexing visit.

The Vampire Memoirsby Tracy Briery (co-authored by the character in the book wink wink)published by Pinnacle books (2000)432 pagesIt occurred to me the other day that I have only been reviewing the good-to-great books that I read on here. I haven't yet mentioned the mediocre-to-really, really shitty books that I read. And it's inevitable that when you read as many books as I do, you're going to find some clunkers. Now, the latest in the long line of idiocy that I cannot believe ever got published and where is this publisher when I want to submit a stinky manuscript…. is called the Vampire Memoirs. I should have been warned by the 99 cent sticker on the cover. I should have been warned by the cover art, a sexy-looking, waving-haired brunette with a sultry pout and two, needle-sharp teeth protruding from between her luscious red lips. I should have been warned when I started the journey and within the first page or two read that this chick was "living” in A.D. 325 when she
