Absolutely amazing book. The main character has pulled me so completely into her world I have to stop for a while. Hope to get back to soon.

Debbie "DJ" is 65% done with The Empathy Exams
Started out good, but hardly holds my intrest anymore. Things have turned into philosophical questions, and half the time I can't even interpret what she is asking/saying.

Wow, this is a fantastic read! So far Tavakoli gives a clear history of Iran, showing how fundamentalist Islam gained power, and how women are suffering in innumerable ways.

Debbie "DJ" is 30% done with Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory
I love the "insiders" view of most anything, and this does not disappoint. So far I'm shocked that a twenty something would be given so little training to do such an important job. Not much reverence in anything anymore, not even in caring for the dead.

Am liking the mystery, but seems too drawn out. For example, what each character wears is described...?

I think Shonda Rhimes should create a new show called "Nurses." Shocking what they must put up with!

Just read a quote that sums up my experience so far - " I read a book one day that changed my life."

Debbie "DJ" is 10% done with Aquarium
This is already so exquisite. The writing, the comparisions between aquarium fish and humans, so philosophical and insightful. These are fish that I've never seen before, Each chapter is opening with a beautiful photo, which might be better if not an ebook.

Not as smitten with this character Ove as in the beginning. Think the book could have been shorter.

The writing is so full of imagery, I feel as if I am there. An ancient dungeon, death row prisoners, and the golden horses whose feet I hear stampeding underground. AMAZING!

Hilarious! A cantankerous old man who just wants to die. Damn those neighbors, they keep getting in his way! (Priceless reference to "Dexter")

Solnit is really lying out the facts here. A look at male gender and it's innate violence.

Debbie "DJ" is 90% done with The Dinner
I LOVE this book! After about the 20% mark this book takes off like a rocket, and think I started reading just as fast. Every review I've peeked at mention not liking the characters, while I find "unlikable" characters irresistible. I'd call this a fast paced psychological thriller.

I'm loving this read...I'm inside the main characters mind, all the things we secretly think, and wonder, and worry about...fascinating! Also, must comment on the amazing writing!

Loved the first section on Childhood/college. The second section, Adulthood, was boring. Just starting third section on Motherhood.

Drew me in from page one. Had no idea it would be more of a mystery type of read. Loving it.
