Finished about half of Vernor Vinge's Fire Upon the Deep and gave up. I just can't enjoy a plot that hinges entirely on some of the main characters being gullible idiots. I'd forgotten that Hugo and/or Nebula awards are not a guarantee...

Silas Marner was the second book I never finished. First attempt was in the tenth grade, last attempt was about five years ago. I'm sure it's a very important book... (First book I never finished was Poe's The Gold Bug, but that's because I tried to read it when I was eight years old. It was an extremely frustrating experience.)

What a game...I'm exhausted!

Okay, stop it already...I'll try Murakami! Now reading David Brin's Sundiver. It's good hard SF, but a bit hard to adjust to after Atwood.

Lowell George Dale Bozzio Jean Luc-Ponty Which reminds me; do you guys realize it's been over twenty years since Frank Zappa died? No wonder I'm falling apart! I'm f*****g OLD!

No kidding; I was expecting him to go completely batshit.

They looked like they were playing as badly as the first two games against the Sharks, yet the Rangers couldn't capitalize. I don't see their chances getting any better. That second game was awesome, though!

It'll be in my next Amazon order. She has certainly earned more space on the shelves!

My experience as well. The old single blade design made me bleed almost every time. In those days everyone had a styptic pencil in their shaving kit. I welcome the "expense". Add me to the list. It's been thirty-five years since anyone asked me why I had bits of toilet paper stuck to my face, and I don't intend to ever go back. If by "new" you mean "stolen", yes, you can pick up blades cheap at flea markets.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and mom said no more books at the breakfast table. I had the Cap'n Crunch box memorized within a week...

Had to come up with a winner after the last two, so I finally pulled The Handmaid's Tale of the shelf, not knowing if it was a guaranteed winner or just overrated. I'm about halfway through, and the chances of it being overrated have disappeared.

Interesting. I have an LP that uses a photo from the shoot with the leopards. Never played it; just picked it up for the cover photo.

It's a vacation week, so I managed to read a couple of books from the 'new' shelf, John Scalzi's Redshirts and John Varley's Rolling Thunder. Redshirts wasn't bad, but it wasn't up to the level of Scalzi's Old Man's War or its sequels. The fact that it won the Hugo says more about the Hugo than it does about the book. As for Rolling Thunder, only my respect for John Varley got me through the thing. It's bad. These books have something in common: they read like they're designed to appeal to The Fan rather than The Reader, if you get my drift.

I'm still having a hard time believing the Bruins got beat. And beat soundly. Amazing.

Found a 'new to me' SF author; John Scalzi. I've read Old Man's War and The Ghost Brigades so far and have been impressed. More is on the way...
