Oh, oh, oh. Just the mention of the title makes me smile. Cutting for Stone is one of my favorite books.
Enjoy.
I just put Cutting for Stone on my amazon wishlist. This time I'll probably buy the print version in German so my mom can read it too. Sounds very interesting.
I'm finally reading Gone with the Wind. As an English major and supreme book lover, I can't believe I have gotten through 35 years of life without reading it. So far, so good.
I just finished Life After Life by Kate Atkinson. It was on the tipty top of so many best books lists, and I'm sure many of you have read it. Did you like it? It was kind of a hard slog for me, I'll admit. With so many literary time travel books in the past few years, the close thematic relationship in this book seemed a little tired to me. But I can definitely see the movie based on this book coming out in a few years, starring Cate Blanchett, and I'm sure she'll win an Oscar. Yawn.
Time to cleanse my palate with a good trashy romance!
Amber, have you read any books by Carl Hiasson? Many are set in the Everglades. His books are funny and pretty quick reads.
Yes I read one I think called Tourist Trap maybe? something about and alligator and a murder
it was pretty good and witty, got any specific recommendations for me?
I just finished Nick Carters book Facing The Music
I found it quite inspiring as I am going through a rough time so I loved reading how Nick crashed and burned but then turned his life around for the better!

I dislike the family of Nick Carter when he was younger my sisters family lived right next door to them in Tampa
Florida and she was having a garage sale and he was using his bullhorn and telling people at my sisters garage
sale to get off his lawn . His mother was obnoxious as hell too that whole family had problems and they wanted everyone in that neighborhood to kiss their behinds , so anything they write NO THANK YOU . I saw them in action and they had problems with a capital P .
Just finished “A Billion Wicked Thoughts: What the World’s Largest Experiment Reveals About Human Desire” by Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam (2011).
The authors draw conclusions about "turn-ons" based on analysis of (anonymous) internet search histories.
A few excerpts:
Quote:
“Men experienced a strong correlation between the arousal of mind and body. Women did not.”
Quote:
“This strange clash of busty, giggling airheads and tall, brooding dukes produces mutual dismay.
Where men see sexy, women often see misogyny. Where women see sexy, men often see arrogant jerks with split personalities.”
Quote:
“The subject frequently leads to defensiveness: getting excited by a fantasy is not the same thing as wanting it in real life.”
Intellectually, I realize there's a lot of diversity to what humans find sexy/attractive-
it sure made me feel relatively conventional and pedestrian in my, ummm, "interests".
How much one enjoys this book may depend on how much of the material one relates to or identifies with.
I think I'd have found it more compelling & validating if I were more "unusual" or niche in my tastes/preferences.
