The Enchanted Booklog
Jan. 21st, 2011 07:47 pmThanks to everyone who commented previously: I did acquire a copy of The Queen of Attolia, and I do plan to read it!
( 81. Bloodroot — Amy Greene ) If you like that sort of thing, you will probably like this, but clearly it’s not a trope that does a whole lot for me.
( 82. The Good Son — Michael Gruber ) I was never able to shake that cold, anonymous airport feeling.
( 83. Tokyo Fiancée — Amélie Nothomb ) this book just increased my desire to go to Japan.
( 84. Expiration Date — Duane Swierczynski )I am so, so ashamed that we are actually the same person.
( 85. Tongues of Serpents — Naomi Novik )Next book, please!
( 86. The Possessed — Elif Batuman ) Roz Chast should do more book covers; it always makes me want to read whatever they grace.
( 87. The Enchanted April — Elizabeth von Arnim )I’ve lost my train of thought. I really do need a vacation.
( 88. Elliot Allagash — Simon Rich ) Elliot Allagash isn’t worth having a novel named after him.
( 89. Waiter Rant — Steve Dublanica ) It was a nice alternative to constantly refreshing notalwaysright.com, anyway.
( 90. Bill's New Frock — Anne Fine ) There’s a ’90s elementary school reminder that I didn’t need!
Total Reviews: 90/229

A Reliable Booklog
Jan. 1st, 2011 06:28 pmHappy New Year, all! It's 2011 now, but of course I am still drowning in business from 2010. Can I catch up by the end of January? Place your bets now!
( 71. Funny Boy — Shyam Selvadurai ) This was a perfectly decent book, but I found it fairly flat, and it never rose above decent for me.
( 72. Less Than Zero — Bret Easton Ellis ) now I have and we never have to talk about it again. Yay.
( 73. A Reliable Wife — Robert Goolrick )Such things happened, apparently!
( 74. Prime Baby — Gene Luen Yang ) it’s a good way to whet the appetite until the next meal comes along.
( 75. Liar — Justine Larbalestier )I wish my reaction could have been different, but this is how I felt, no lie.
( 76. How Did You Get This Number — Sloane Crosley )There’s something to be proud of, at least!
( 77. The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms — N.K. Jemisin ) It’s definitely a place that I would like to explore further.
( 78. Hapworth 16, 1924 — J.D. Salinger ) Stop tormenting me from beyond the grave, J.D. It’s just petty.
( 79. Book Girl and the Suicidal Mime — Mizuki Nomura ) Mallory had less luck with Everest, as I recall.
( 80. The Literary Conference — Cesar Aira ) I need to go lie down now.

Booklog Will Save Your Life
Dec. 19th, 2010 05:41 pmI swear someone is standing outside my window with a hose, because there is no way it can or should be raining this much in Los Angeles.
( 61. Our Hero — Tom De Haven )this book is a joy to read: a thoughtful investigation into why stories and characters are so important, into how an alien from Krypton can help us think about what makes us human.
( 62. Alone With You — Marisa Silver ) We all already know that I never learn.
( 63. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest — Stieg Larsson ) If characters like Lisbeth—if women in central, heroic roles—can seep into the collective subconscious the way Han Solo and hundreds of years of male heroes sunk into mine, then maybe the next girl (or boy) growing up won’t have to have some big revelation about how she can write women in her stories. She’ll already know.
( 64. The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes — Ed. by John Joseph Adams )I would like to see “Commonplaces” collected in other books, because then this one would truly be completely unnecessary.
( 65. Hotel Iris — Yoko Ogawa ) I really don’t recommend that people unfamiliar with Ogawa start here; build up a tolerance and then see if you are strong and brave enough. I am not.
( 66. The Thief — Megan Whalen Turner ) is there any reason for me to continue?
( 67. & 200. Blackout & All Clear — Connie Willis ) Oh, Max, Max: we need to invent time travel for you.
( 68. Trickster — Ed. by Matt Dembicki ) this is a genre of storytelling that never ceases to delight and entrance me.
( 69. Catching Fire — Suzanne Collins ) I actually did the “Man, there aren’t a lot of pages left here; how is she going to wrap this...wait a minute!” thing.
( 70. Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life — Steve Almond ) Is Scott-Heron’s three-minute, thirty-four-second song more powerful than Almond’s whole book? Possibly, but that just proves Almond’s point.

Booklog of a Wimpy Kid

( 51. An Angel For Emily — Jude Deveraux ) From now on, it will simply be known as The Book I Threw at a Wall.
( 52. The Devil and Sherlock Holmes — David Grann ) If you’re obsessed with obsession (as I am), you will easily become enthralled by this book.
( 53. The Talisman Ring — Georgette Heyer ) it will probably be a while before I reach for another one of her books.
( 54. Diary of a Wimpy Kid — Jeff Kinney ) what’s the point of fiction—especially children’s fiction—if we can’t aspire to something better?
( 55. Written Lives — Javier Marías ) all these angsty writers were right: life is hard.
( 56. Hex Hall — Rachel Hawkins ) Hawkins has that magic ingredient that so many of her fellow authors lack; because of this I will, for once, be waiting eagerly for the sequel.
( 57. I Know I Am, But What Are You? — Samantha Bee ) Bee costumes are only the beginning.
( 58. The Hole We're In — Gabrielle Zevin ) This book deserves more attention than it appears to be getting.
( 59. Tokyo Vice — Jake Adelstein ) This is both a solid, interesting true crime book, and a solid, interesting book about Japan.
( 60. Voyage Along the Horizon — Javier Marías ) Marías’ work tends to be more about the journey and less about the destination.

Déjà Booklog
Dec. 8th, 2010 05:47 pmHome sick with a disgusting cold! At least I managed something semi-productive?
( 41. Hellblazer: All His Engines — Mike Carey ) why hasn’t any of Paul Jenkins’ run on this title been collected as trades? I loved that run. Am I the only one?
( 42. A Short History of Women — Kate Walbert ) instead of wallowing how 'bout try to be awesome? And maybe fight people with swords.
( 43. Fat Vampire — Adam Rex ) you really hope the slightly charred guy in the lab coat can do better next time. Maybe next time he’ll land that Nobel Prize.
( 44. Déjà Dead — Kathy Reichs ) Instead I got a depressingly straightforward police procedural, anchored by a lot of stiff, mostly colorless characters and a protagonist who, in being rendered more “relatable,” becomes much less interesting than her TV counterpart.
( 45. Why Translation Matters — Edith Grossman ) When those instant language-learning chips become available, sign me right up.
( 46. Giovanni’s Room — James Baldwin ) you should read this.
( 47. Life After Life — Paul Jepson & Tony Parker ) you sympathize and feel repulsed by them in turn, often within moments of each other.
( 48. Ramayana: Divine Loophole — Sanjay Patel ) blue people are hot when James Cameron isn’t making them part of something politically and racially skeevy.
( 49. The Forty Rules of Love — Elif Shafak ) I’d like to learn more about Sufism as well. Book recommendations, anybody?
( 50. Bill Bryson’s African Diary — Bill Bryson ) I’d recommend either thinking of the book as a gift-with-donation, or getting it from the library.

( 33. Al Capone Does My Shirts — Gennifer Choldenko ), this is something I’m glad I read so I can recommend it to kids more than a book I personally relished.
( 34. The Innocence of Father Brown — G.K. Chesterton ) Father Brown is lost without his Boswell. And he can stay there, as far as I’m concerned.
( 35. Eternal — Cynthia Leitich Smith ) I have learned to take amusement.
( 36. The Piano Teacher — Janice Y.K. Lee ) it's got a lot to recommend it for a debut. I'll definitely be checking out her next one.
( 37. Achtung Baby — Stephen Catanzarite ) Catanzarite can keep his version of this album; mine’s a lot more fun.
( 38. Union Atlantic — Adam Haslett ) Worth reading, by only if you’re in a very serious “Oh, ain’t modern society awful” mood.
( 39. Angel Time — Anne Rice ) Hopefully, given time and the better angels of her nature, Anne herself will come around.
( 40. Spooky Little Girl — Laurie Notaro ) “Gosh, Notaro sure was trying for something interesting with this!”

Free Shane and Josh — The Finished Film
Nov. 4th, 2010 04:18 pmMy dad's film to increase awareness about the American hikers detained in Iran, FREE SHANE AND JOSH, debuted today on The Huffington Post. This film would not have been possible without the amazing work all of you wonderful fannish people did at the transcribing stage. Thank you again, so much!
Everyone can help once again by watching the film and signing the petition. And please, please spread the word! The idea at this stage is to get lots and lots of signatures and create international pressure, which will hopefully lead to Shane and Josh being set free. They have currently been in detainment for 462 days.
ETA: Commenting on the HuffPo piece is good, too. Apparently it's already being trolled by people calling the hikers spies and other horrible (FALSE!) stuff. :\
A small side note for L.A. folks: my dad and Laura, Josh's mom, are going to be on the Fox 10 o'clock news tonight. The piece may be picked up nationally, I'm not sure of those details yet; but if you can, check it out! (This is the only time ever that I will encourage people to watch Fox News.)
Thank you again to everyone for all their hard work on this project so far. I hope you enjoy the film, and please do everything you can to get the word out about this. Beyond simple issues of right and wrong, working on this project has really helped me to see what amazing people Shane and Josh (and Sarah!) are, and I desperately want to do everything I can to help them have a happy ending. Thanks for your support.

Hikers doc - update and thank you!
Oct. 22nd, 2010 12:44 pmThank you so much to everyone who helped transcribe the interviews with Sarah Shourd for the documentary to help free Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer. All the work is completed, and it's 100% thanks to fandom being awesome. Thank you so much!
When the documentary is finished (the rough cut is being completed this weekend), I will be sure to post it or a link to it here so everyone can see!
Finally, if you were one of the amazing people who helped out and you DIDN'T get an email from me about crediting, please let me know. I think I got everybody but even the power of spreadsheets fails occasionally. :)

Summary: When Sam Campbell is chosen as a tribute for the Games—an annual fight to the death between twenty-four of New Eden's unlucky children—his older brother Dean volunteers to take his place. Dean fully expects to die so that Sam can live, but once he enters the arena, Dean discovers that what's at stake in the Games is far more complicated than simple life and death, and nothing and no one is what they seem.

Serious business time: My father, who often does work for Amnesty International, is working on a film to help the American hikers who've been imprisoned in Iran for over a year. Unfortunately, his regular transcribers have suddenly become unavailable, and the deadline for which he needs to finish the film for it to make a maximum impact has moved up. He asked me if I had any friends (meaning RL friends) who would be willing to help with the transcription work. I told him I'd find a way to take care of it, because I knew I had an even better resource at my disposal: fandom has always been wonderful at donating its time and energy to charitable causes, and this is a case where your help would definitely be appreciated.
Here's my dad's description of the project:
Thanks very much for reaching out to your friends on behalf of the short pro-bono film I'm producing for the families of Josh Fattal, Shane Bauer, and Sarah Shourd. As you know, Shane and Josh have been unjustly imprisoned in Iran for 440 days. Sarah was released on September 14, after over a year in solitary confinement. We want to correct the misconceptions that still cling to what happened, vividly profile who they are - and make a powerful, comprehensive, internationally focused case for Josh and Shane's immediate release. We filmed Sarah's approximately 2 hour interview (plus a short exchange with her mother, and some B-Roll) on Sunday. I need to write the script ASAP, but first need transcriptions of the interviews. Balancing any tedium in the process is the importance of the effort, and Sarah's powerful story and personal character.
Fortunately, the film is divided into many short segments of about 5-10 minutes. This means each volunteer would only have to do a small portion of the work, which I'm working on a spreadsheet system to dole out. My dad has also made a template so that even if you've never done transcription work before, you should have no problem picking it up.
This is a very real way in which you could help this worthy cause. If you would like to volunteer, please comment on this post or email me at trinityofone AT gmail DOT com (ETA: And please include your email! Thanks!). (Please feel free to ask any questions through these same venues.) If you volunteer, I will send you a link, username, and password so you can download the assigned film file(s). (They're in .mov format—I'm not sure everything that plays on, but they work on Quicktime and VLC.) This is time sensitive, so if there's any way you could donate a bit of time and effort in the next couple days, it would be so appreciated! And please feel free to spread the word!
Thank you so much!

Aesc and Trin's Excellent Adventure
Oct. 11th, 2010 09:30 pmHi, I'm alive! In fact, aesc and I are currently in the process of conquering New England. She just posted a collection of (much, much prettier) pictures, but of course I need to share my own unique take on the experience. So here are an obscene amount of photographs of wild animals, nature being grotesquely pretty, and yes, a mummy.
( This is after I edited it down, I swear )
Actually, nature's totally cheating by giving me awful allergies. But I will defeat them! For there are more adventures to be had tomorrow. Wish us luck!

Warnings: Brief Dean/OFC, Cas/OFC, and Sam/OFC (not the same OFC); Anna/OMC (I know that's a deal-breaker for a lot of people...); Chuck/Becky; and Gabriel flirting with everyone. Temporary genderfuck. Crossdressing. Rimming. Lesbian nuns. Reckless driving. Lots of fun stuff!
Summary: A hypothetical season six in which Dean, Sam, and a newly-fallen Castiel encounter vengeful gods, secret societies, a box of dangerous magical artifacts, and something they're all going to pretend wasn't actually faeries. Meanwhile, Dean suffers a sexuality crisis, and Castiel has a secret that could change everything.
