Tietoja minusta I'm a fairly random person, often with reddish streaks in my hair, and I'm addicted to writing, teaching, and working tech at a local theater. In the in between, I help organize poetry events, try to have a social existence with my amazing fiance and beyond, and find new ways to procrastinate what I Should be doing....like this. In the picture, you see my lovely cat RJ trying to help me wrap for Christmas--she's also often seen on my lap with a book leaning on her when she's not watching our other roomie, a hamster named Wally. Now, I'm about to start work in a PhD program--though at the moment I'm busy unpacking in Pittsburgh and getting used to the idea that I'm engaged...

Currently Reading: Selected Poems by W.H. Auden (poetry), The Last Temptation by Neil Gaiman (graphic novel) and The Sharing Knife by Lois McMaster Bujold (fantasy). Normally, this list is quite a bit longer, but considering I'm in the middle of a move....well, I'll pick up in a few weeks.

Oh, and why does it take me so long sometimes to finish a book? Because I'm reading too many, or pick up one and finish it before it ever gets around to making it to this list (most recently that was the case with Emergency Sex by Kenneth Cain and the memoirs Martian Child and My Cat Spit McGee--all of which are now reviewed)

On a side note, I do keep a myspace page and a blog there, but I only mention books when they're absolutely outstanding, in which case they get a mention on facebook too. Most recently, those were The Translator by Daoud Hari and Emergency Sex.

Tietoja kirjastostani Probably about as random as you get. I read mostly contemporary work Lately since that's what I've been teaching, and my nonfiction tastes tend to run toward environmental or biography, though lately I've been reading about the diamond trade and Darfur, but that's about as much as you can pin me down...and I'm sure my library will find ways to contradict this description no matter what I write. Most of my books are entered here, I think, though there are still some boxes in storage at my family's house. In general, if it's been reviewed, I've read it, and if it hasn't, I haven't (or don't own it), though there are many anthologies which I've read various parts of and haven't reviewed. When it comes to what's here though, the obvious point of interest is simply that I'm addicted to books.

I'm so jealous of you. I want to teach a class on lit. so bad at that level. (Oh wait, do you teach at a high school or college level?) There are so many things you could do with it, also you don't have to worry too much about cross-curriculm. Do you have anything picked out for this school year yet? I imagine a contemporary lit. or classical lit. would be easier to teach, but probably not as much fun.

So you like non-fiction? I just can't seem to get into it that much. It's probably because I'm still taking classes and that's all I get to read for them, so in my 'spare reading time' I enjoy getting away. The types of books I like, well I've completed all of SK works and I'm kind of jumping around right now between other horror/suspense books and children's literature. My library is getting huge for my classroom! I want to make sure once I'm teaching that I can give good quality reccomendations to my students and to relate with them once they are reading that book.

So off to Pittsburgh? Well good luck and be safe. I know moving can be stressful (I've never left my home town, but have moved around in it, so I imagine cross-country is even more stressful), but try to enjoy it as much as you can, afterall it is to better yourself right?

I was going to get my BA in english, but switching my major turned out to be more hassle then what it was worth. So you love teaching, what is it you teach? (If I'm prying too much please let me know) I'm hoping to teach grades 3-6, I wanted to do HS, but like I said the whole degree thing was going to be too much.

I'll check out that book you reccomended. I'm in the middle of a couple of reads right now, and my TBR list is extensive, just like everyone else on LT. So is it fiction or non-fiction?

What kind of books do you favor?

Lähettänyt: beckylynn 4:12 pm (EST) Jul 10, 2008

Oh, that's so heartbreaking when you can't find a home for animals you can't keep yourself. I find myself having to say no to an animal at least once a week because so many people know how much I love animals. If I said yes to everyone that's been offered I would be considered a 'hoarder'...

I want a cat so bad, we live out in the country so it could enjoy chasing mice during the day, but as of right now my boyfriend is saying no....I just need a little more time to butter him up :)

So your working on your PhD? That's so interesting! What's your bachelors in? I'm working torwards my Bachelors right now, Elementary Education.

Thanks so much! I love my babies, RJ looks like quite the character. We don't have any 'cat sisters' at the moment but we're trying to work on that...

It is funny the way that works out :-) I've had a few kind of odd coincidences happen lately. Nothing earth shattering, just odd. Thanks for nominating "The Calling" for me, I'm looking forward to reading it!

Hello - I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for accepting my friend invite. Your collection is impressive! Have a great weekend! :)

Lähettänyt: ginviren 7:57 pm (EST) Apr 5, 2008

Hey whitewavedarling...

Thanks for the words of welcome and the tip. I started reading a book last night that was publicly recommended by Christopher Moore from his website. He has a page called Chris's Picks where he recommends books and/or authors that he finds funny. The one I started reading last night is called [Pest Control] by [[Bill Fitzhugh]]. BTW, I don't know if the touchstone trick will work in this context. Still learning, I guess!

See you out there...

Thanks for the Bentley Little suggestions. I picked up "The Store" because it's on Stephen King's shortlist. I figured since I like Stephen King, then I might like what he likes. I'm only a few pages into it, haven't had much of a chance to sit and read and I read 2 Junie B.'s to my 9 year old last night, but it's already GOT ME. I'm really new to contemporary fiction. I've always read the classics and Stephen King. A friend of mine hooked me with Harlan Coben and I picked up "Just One Look" today.

BTW: Love your profile pic! He's a cute li'l kitty! looks ornery, too ;-) !

Hey you!

Been in you library. Lovely! I’ve just finished writing a review of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. Now I find you have already written up exactly what I wanted to say, even to the mention of Huck Finn. Your’s is perfect! I’ve printed it and placed it inside the cover of my copy. Stay nice!

Lähettänyt: Novak 7:17 am (EST) Feb 16, 2008

Thanks for the kind words. I'm not familiar with The Translator, but will look for it!

Thanks Jennifer. That's actually my little dog Lucy. I will let you know what I think of Coelho's other works when I read them. Have a good day!

Lähettänyt: Rarcar1 3:15 pm (EST) Feb 8, 2008

Hi Jennifer, I just read your comment on [The Alchemist] on Teelgee's thread. I have talked to several people who either loved it or hated it. With that being said, I think it depends on the point you are at in your life. Your comments were interesting and I would be interested to hear him speak. I will reread this in a few years and may have a whole different perspective! Take care!

Lähettänyt: Rarcar1 7:11 pm (EST) Feb 6, 2008

thanks for your comments... I added you as "interesting" if you don't mind. I got a myspace (HilariousDad) to spy on my son, I keep threatening him with more baby pix...

Lähettänyt: TeacherDad 3:34 pm (EST) Jan 29, 2008

THANKS FOR THE RECOMMENDATIONS. I ADDED A COUPLE OF RASH'S OTHER BOOKS TO MY BOOKS I WANT TO READ PILE. SO MANY BOOKS, SO LITTLE TIME :)

I took a 100 level poetry writing course with Lieberman. He was actually pretty subdued in class; he might have loosened up more in higher level classes. He did me the great favor of letting me know that the poetry I wrote in high school was complete and utter crap. From that point I started on the process of learning how to write something, unless I am deluding myself... again.

Maybe I will write and let him know that at least ome student heard something he said.

Lähettänyt: Poemblaze 12:23 pm (EST) May 21, 2007

I see you have a couple books by Laurence Lieberman. Your MySpace page shows you didn't attend University of Illinois where he taught [still teaches?]. Was curious how you ran across his poetry. He was a professor of mine back in the '80s.

i know what you mean about vanityfair. the new pride film is quite good though darcy is a bit stiff but keira knightly as lizzie rocks. and the film gives a much more accurate and believable portrayal of the times than the tv show (BBC) although the mr.darcy in the tv show was hot!! believe me read the english patient, its worth the wait. i haven't read anymore alex garland but i'm glad your doing it in school so much better than some other choices on offer (see an inspector calls) i was lucky too i did lord of the flies which rocked!! i bet the kids like all the blood in the beach! any books (or films) you'd recommend?

Lähettänyt: annelie2 1:42 pm (EST) Nov 17, 2006

sorry about the spelling am crap at typing and spelling!!

Lähettänyt: annelie2 4:46 am (EST) Nov 17, 2006

hi your library sounds great, we share e few of the same books expecially good books that led to crap film (the beach, the english patient) what do you think?
