The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano “Prime numbers are divisible only by 1 and by themselves….among prime numbers, there are some that are even more special. Mathematicians call them twin primes: pairs of prime numbers that are close to each other…but between them…is always an even number that prevents them from truly touching…If [...]

Again, only three measly books. It’s a pathetic thing. Don’t I LIKE reading? Yes. I just have so little time for it. One of the books I only “read” because it was on Playaway. I think I’m going to do this more often. Cuz seriously, although it takes the reader much longer to read to [...]

I don’t read anymore. Other things have taken over my life. Should I half-ass this and just put the titles and authors, or should I consider this entry as an assignment in which I should actually make the effort to tell you what I thought? Can I even remember what I thought back in June? [...]

What: Sights by Susanna Vance Why I read it: Was doing a display on child abuse and this one sounded interesting. What I thought: Was cute but a little TOO cute. I don’t usually go for “southern” themed books, to be honest. I really liked the characters, but there wasn’t nearly enough about her having [...]

Uh, yeah. How long did it take me to do this? No time to do in-depth reviews, but I’ll get back to it. For now, here are some quick thoughts. What: Free For All: Oddballs, Geeks, and Gangstas in the Public Library by Don Borchert Why I read it: It’s about library patrons. What I [...]

I got NOTHING done this month. I was late on everything, couldn’t get motivated to read, totally played online and oncamera all the time. Is it a coincidence that I started flickr and facebook recently? I don’t think so. So anyhoo, here’s my pathetic list of books: What I read: Blaze by Richard Bachman (Stephen [...]

The Darkest Evening of the Year by Dean Koontz. Why I read it: Cuz I read just about everything by DK. What I thought: It was OK. There were dogs and psycho exes and a couple named Amy and Brian, and yet I still didn’t think it was that great. Chariots of the Gods by [...]

It’s hard to get anything read during holiday time, so once again, only got a few in. But it’s going to get worse when Lost comes back on. I WILL be spending 24 hours a day thinking about, talking about, and researching, that special TV show that has melted my brain and replaced the missing [...]

I didn’t get a whole lot read in November, plus I forgot to write a couple of these down, so who knows if this is actually all! An Ocean of Air: Why the Wind Blows and Other Mysteries of the Atmosphere by Gabrielle Walker. Interesting stuff that of course I’ll never remember! The Stuff of [...]

Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger’s by John Elder Robison. Read it cuz I’ve read all of Augusten Burroughs’s stuff. These boys led a crazy, interesting life. In both books I’ve read by guys with Asperger’s, both men decided not to let their “disability” ruin their lives, and they did everything they [...]
