The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes
The Sense of an Ending

Bookwomyn, January 5, 2013

Previous review:

I found "The Sense of an Ending" to be of particular interest because I think that as we age, we all have some regrets about things we failed to do. This book offers wisdom about how one can avoid those lost opportunities - and how the life lived in a safe little cocoon is not always the most rewarding. Life is to be lived! Fully. At the top of your lungs! Dance til your feet fall off. Ah well ... at least live each day as if it were your last because sometimes it is.

The Panther by Nelson DeMille

I gave up mid-way & read the last chapter. Can honestly say I don't think I missed a thing. DeMille's books were good when he first started being published but are now, so it seems to me, paid by the word. They just go on and on and don't say a thing. I don't think I'll bother with any more of his novels.

Buddy: How a Rooster Made Me a Family Man by Brian Mcgrory
Buddy: How a Rooster Made Me a Family Man

Bookwomyn, December 12, 2012

As a person who appreciates chickens and a former chicken 'mom' I was curious about this book. The only rooster I had taught me to walk carefully and carry a big broom. It's a fast read and one which gives a good chuckle from page to page. Very cute. Literary masterpiece? No. But I liked it.

Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime by John Heilemann
Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime

Bookwomyn, October 7, 2012

I wasn't going to read this book because I am too prejudice against republicans but ... BUT ... it was very interesting. Back stories of the 2008 election - made even more interesting because we are at it again with the 2012 elections. I hope this one ends up the same way as 2008 & that the author writes a book about this one. I think that would be just as interesting as Game Change.
