Alas, Babylon!

Alas, Babylon!
By Pat Frank, 1959, from the libraryYou should know
I love good science fiction, and this is apparently considered among the best science fiction out there.So?
In this story, the United States is hit by multiple nuclear attacks, and a small town in Florida narrowly misses being hit by fallout. Randy Bragg, the protagonist, takes it on himself to protect and care for his family, his neighbors, and soon, the town.In addition to being a compelling story (I read most of it in a single night), it is one that offers much to think about. Much of the story is a product of its time, the late fifties, and it spins out what would be considered most valuable as time goes by. No doubt you've thought to stock up on canned goods and bottled water in case of an emergency, but I for one never thought of salt, flour, yeast, or needles and thread. Which I really should have.
There are some mildly sexist themes in the book, but nothing unexpected given the context (the women are considered strong and indispensable... but relatively useless when lacking the guidance of a man) and race issues are handled carefully, the author pointing out the issues of the 1950s south without becoming too preachy or self-satisfied when his heroes overcome their biases with ease. (NB: I say this as a white northerner, so feel free to disagree if your personal context allows you to see something I missed.)
It's a great post-apocalyptic survival tale, all told.

Read it if...You like survival tales, post-apocalyptic fiction, or just really well-written fiction.

Abundance
By Sena Jeter Naslund, 2006, from the libraryYou should know
I'm not really into the French Revolution, but I do enjoy compelling biographies and well-written historical fiction from time to time. This was recommended via Twitter.So?
This is a novelized version of the life of Marie Antoinette. I don’t know enough about her historical life to tell you how accurate it is or is not, but it was an engaging read.The book begins as the Marie is leaving home for the first time to marry the young prince she has never met. It continues as she adapts to French life in general and the royal court in specific, hears about wars and revolutions abroad and at home, and finally ends at the guillotine. This is presumably not a spoiler, and if you didn’t know going in how it ends, shame on you.
Much of the book is presented in the form of letters between Marie and her family and confidantes. This adds some nice outside perspective to a novel that is otherwise told from the protagonist’s point of view.
Rating
A pretty good beach read.Much of it reads like a period romance novel, but the intrigue gives it a bit more weight. Obviously, it doesn’t have a happy ending, but it’s light enough overall.
Your Mission: Children's books edition
Wednesday, March 16, 2011
I'm collecting a list of beloved children's books, from board books through first readers into YA and teen-friendly adult books. The current list spans from Where's Spot
So your mission is to let me know which books you read until the covers fell off when you were a kid.
Note: if it's a series, no problem, but ideally I'll just pass along the first book unless/until the child expresses an interest in it. See: The Baby-Sitters Club (#1 Kristy's Great Idea); Animorphs (#1 The Invasion); Goosebumps (#1 Welcome to Dead House).
And don't worry -- if I give your child a book she already owns, I encourage you to pass it along to a friend or a charity. Spread the words!

Mothers and Other Liars
2010, by Amy Bourret
You should know
I got this book through LibraryThing’s Early Reviewer program.
So?
Ruby Leander, a young woman who lost all her ties to her old home, decided to randomly head west, where she found an abandoned baby. She took the child in and built a life for herself and her new daughter, Lark.
Years later, Lark's true origins come to light, and Ruby must face her daughter's horror, her boyfriend's conflicted morality, Lark's biological family's demands, and the justice system's insistence that Ruby is a heartless kidnapper. Ruby is faced with sorting through her years of lies and omissions to get to what is best for her family.

Consider it for a beach readIt’s a cute book, engaging enough while I read it but fairly forgettable once I put it down.

Quickie Round-Up: Self-Help edition
Wednesday, November 03, 2010
We all have our flaws. One of mine is reading too many self-help books.
Here are some books that might be able to teach you a thing or two -- at the very least, you should learn the areas in which I think I need help!
Books I've previously reviewed are linked to the appropriate post; in between are some quickie reviews, which are linked to Amazon.com through an affiliate link.
The Automatic Millionaire : A Powerful One-Step Plan to Live and Finish Rich
by David Bach -- The idea behind this one is pretty simple. You've heard the old maxim, "Pay yourself first," right? That's pretty much what this book is about. Figure out how much you want to -- and can afford to -- save, and then have that amount automatically transferred to savings (or investment) on a regular basis. You don't miss money you never see.
Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell -- This is a "Trust your gut" sort of book. You know things, and frequently you know them before you realize that you know them. A great example kicks off the book, telling about a museum worker who was completely certain that a new statue was a fraud. This worker was eventually proven right, but the telling details were so subtle that the only thing giving it away was that it "felt off." And you can do stuff like that, too.
Everything twitter: From Novice to Expert
Fear Less: Real Truth About Risk, Safety, and Security in a Time of Terrorism
by Gavin de Becker -- Here is another "Trust your gut" book, this one from the author of The Gift of Fear (see below). When you're afraid of everything, your natural, protective sense of fear can't figure out what is a threat and what isn't. If you spend your day watching disasters on a constant loop on the news, worrying, and telling yourself you have nothing to worry about, then when that creepy person in the dark parking lot at 2 AM sets off your warning sirens, you'll be in the habit of squelching that, too. And that's just not safe.
Gendertraps: Confronting Confrontophobia, Toxic Bosses, and Other Landmines at Work
by Judith Briles -- Whether due to biology, social conditioning, or some combination of the two, men and women think, socialize, and negotiate differently. This can cause miscommunications and even major obstacles in the workplace. This book helps you deal with these situations.
Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
by David Allen -- This is the definitive productivity blog. One of these days I'm going to finally get my hands on a copy I can mark up, and then hopefully I'll be able to start implementing some of these techniques. Highly recommended pretty much everywhere.
The Gift of Fear
Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't
by Jim Collins -- An interesting breakdown of comparable companies, some of which made it big and others which fell apart, and where the pairs diverged in their tactics. More interesting than I'm making it sound, actually.
Made to Stick
The Millionaire Next Door
Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time by Keith Ferrazzi -- A guide to networking, meeting people, making business contacts, and maintaining them. Brilliant, but not easy.
Offbeat Bride: Taffeta-Free Alternatives for Independent Brides
The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less
by Barry Schwartz -- It's true: when I have too many choices, I freeze up because how can I possibly pick the best one, especially without examining each in depth. On our honeymoon, if we walked down a street and Chris asked me where I wanted to eat, I'd almost panic -- everything looks so good, and every place we eat at is one more we'll never eat at, and if it's terrible not only will we never get that meal back, but it'll be entirely my fault for ruining our dinner... but if we had a list of five places recommended by our guidebook, it was easy. Don't want pizza again, don't want to spend too much -- ooh, this place is known for its selection of local wines. Decision made.
by Mathew Boggs and Jason Miller -- I'm not entirely sure this counts as a self-help book, but it can definitely be used as one. Two guys wander the country looking for couples with very length marriages, and asking them what their secrets are. Very sweet.
Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
by Robert T. Kiyosaki -- This one is kind of controversial, since apparently the two dads are more metaphorical than the book makes out. This doesn't make the advice bad, necessarily, but it means you might want to take this popular book with a couple grains of salt.
Six Thinking Hats: An Essential Approach to Business Management
by Edward De Bono -- When it's difficult to make a decision, either on your own or in a committee, it's important to look at things from different angles. The "hats" represent such factors as cold facts, fears, ambitions, and making sure everyone gets along.
Slow Reading
The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
by Malcom Gladwell -- Another good one. Small but significant factors can turn a modest success into a wild one.
Wealth of Experience: Real Investors on What Works and What Doesn't
by Andrew Clarke -- There's a big "you should know" here, as this book was published by my former employer. It's pretty much what it sounds like: high-end investors talking about how they got to be, and stay, high-end investors.
The Well-Educated Mind: A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had
by S. Wise Bauer -- The author notes that almost no one is self-educated anymore, then outlines tactics, and an immense reading llist, for anyone who wants to be.
What Should I Do with My Life?: The True Story of People Who Answered the Ultimate Question
by Po Bronson -- Bronson was sort of asking this question himself as he put together this book, which collects the stories of people who have found their callings. A good read even if it turns out not to be especially necessary, or helpful, for you.
Why Do I Love These People?
Why Men Never Remember and Women Never Forget
Words That Work: It's Not What You Say, It's What People Hear
by Frank Luntz -- Another one that's pretty much what it sounds like, this book talks about communication skills and how you can make sure what you mean is what you say is what people hear. Probably not a bad one to read together with Gift of Fear, above.
Go forth and be a better person! Enjoy!

The Situation
See, having discussed e-books, I'm thinking about Kindles. I know for some people, it can save them a ton of money in the long run. For othrs, it's a massive money sink. For some, the portability adds much-needed flexibility. For others, the inability to borrow or lend takes that flexibility away.Your Mission
Give me your best argument as to why I should -- or should not -- get a Kindle.Suggestions of alternative e-readers are awesome, too, if you can make a case for them.
I'll share your responses with Chris, and maybe they'll influence his/my/our Christmas shopping this year. Heh.

You know, I don't read a lot of e-books. PDFs just don't feel comfortable when I'm looking to read and learn. But some are totally worth it.Your Mission
Folks, I'm looking for your suggestions of the best e-books out there (free ones are even better!).Leave a recommendation -- with the appropriate link -- in the comments below. I'll try as many as I can in the weeks ahead, and give you a round-up with the results.
