Marilyn Monroe reading Ulysses

I put it off, I put if off, I put it off again - "Put it Off" by The Tragically Hip

After putting it off again and again, I am finally beginning to read James Joyce's Ulysses. Here's a photo of Marilyn Monroe reading said book.

The Explorer of Barkham Street by Mary Stolz

An enjoyable and realistic story of a young boy that has the potential to prompt good critical thought. Some of the issues faced by the boy could be talked out by the reader with the guidance of a parent/guardian. Issues such as body image, friendships, pet ownership/campanionship, hobbies, responsibility. All in all, I got way more out of this book than I thought I would. It made me think of my first dog, Lucky, several times.

BookCrossing Catch: Voodoo River

A fortnight ago, while in Las Vegas, I released a book - Voodoo River by Robert Crais - and yesterday it was journaled by the catcher!

Here's the journal entry:

there we were on a lovely day in the river pool area at the mgm grand las vegas. on our way out, we spied this book. a lovely gesture, made more so by the fact it was registered by someone not far from our home in victoria, bc, canada. i was already immersed in a book but look forward to enjoying this - thanks canada!!

Here's a link to the book on BookCrossing.
