    That CLOCKWORK ORANGE cover is pretty creepy. I've never even been able to force myself to read it.

    I'm actually reading it right now. The story is just as intense and freaky as the cover - I can't do more than 20 pages at a time!

Way of Kings Readalong: Gender roles on Roshar

We've seen a little bit about the differences in what members of different genders are allowed and encouraged to do. I thought it was interesting how things like reading were entrusted only to women, since reading is how you gain knowledge (and power!), and it seems like the men were the ones who wanted all the power in this world. So here's a discussion post about the different gender roles and what some possible implications are. But first, a few words from Brandon Sanderson: I found this video on YouTube where Sanderson talks a bit about gender roles in history and in The Way of Kings. It's only a minute or two in the middle of the video (4:30-6:58), but I thought it was interesting. YouTube is being annoying and I cannot embed the video so here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqeKPBHquOg Gender differences on Roshar A table of some basic differences in genders: Men Women Can read glyphs Can read an...

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by  The Broke and the Bookish . This week's theme: Top Ten Movie/TV show adaptations of books I've read Sometimes movies and TV shows do a great job of portraying the spirit of the books they're based on, and sometimes they really don't. Here are a few adaptations I loved and some that I felt were lacking. Great Adaptations 1. The Hunger Games/Catching Fire/Mockingjay       Stunning visuals, pitch-perfect portrayal of the characters, and just enough new changes to keep the movies fresh. 2. Harry Potter The movies captured the spirit of the books so well, and again, all the actors did an amazing job of portraying the beloved book characters. Some movies did better than others, but I'm generally really happy with these! 3. The Book Thief     I was really nervous about watching this because The Book Thief is one of my favorites. I shouldn't have been worried, because this movie captu...

Feature and Follow #2

Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature & Follow! The Feature & Follow is hosted by  Alison Can Read  and  Parajunkee's View .  This week's question: Today’s is the US’ Independence Day. Share your favorite book with a war in it, or an overthrow of the government.  I'm afraid I can't just pick one, so I will list them out (no particular order) and why I like them: The Things They Carried  by Tim O'Brien - I had to read this for an English class, and although there were some very disturbing moments (baby buffalo and lemon tree made me cry), this story was so beautifully told. I am a sucker for unreliable narrators, and this book definitely had one of those. I love the idea of a "true war story" being one that has the right emotions and ironies, which may or may not be what actually happened. The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi - This is one of my favorite books (you can read my full review on g...
