I ordered this Wii for my mom and dad and they seem to love it. They are technically challenged so it is taking some getting used to, but they seem excited to have it and to get started on the Wii fit.

This digital scale is exactly what I’ve been looking for; it works fine, it looks great, it’s durable and the price is right. Even the batteries are AAA (not some weird size or type that’s hard to find!)

but probably better! I really knew almost nothing about these books other than it’s about a young criminal mastermind, basically he’s an all-around genius. The fact that the story contains fantasy creatures like fairies and centaurs was something by which I was unaware and pleasantly surprised.
The story starts cryptically with young Artemis and his bodyguard Butler searching for something of great value (for a host of reasons). Artemis’ plot to kidnap a fairy for the ransom gold unfolds and seems inplausible in our real world but just another day at the office for the boy. And one seemingly flaw in Artemis’ plan keeps you guessing, resulting in astonished glee at his genius.
The story sucks you in and is ejoyable to the core. The characters are believable and identifiable. I enjoyed this so much more than I would have imagined and I think you will too. (By the way, the audio versions are excellent; the narrarator really bring the characters to life.)

Title: The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Pages: 214
Time spent on the “to read” shelf: 4 or 5 months I think.
Days spent reading it: 4 days.
Why I read it: The Catcher in the Rye is an American classic and very controversial. I honestly wanted to see what was so controversial. Also, it was one of those “classics” that I did not read while in high school. In researching about it later I read that in 1981 it was the most censored book in US high schools and the second most taught book in high schools. It was one of the 10 most challenged books in 2005, but it came off the list in 2006. Those are some fun facts for you.
Brief review:
This book frankly annoyed me. The writing has very repetitive and had many aggravating sayings in it. The word “really” is used almost as much as the curse words that are prevalent throughout the book (one reason it is often censored–I would guess that gd appears 2-3 times a page at minimum, sometimes significantly more). And I assure you, both appear more than they need to, I really mean it.
Holden Caulfield is the main character. He is the epitome of teenage angst. His world is utterly pessimistic. He sees only the bad in everything except his sister and his deceased younger brother. He is bright, but is failing out of school. He is obsessed with sex, but cannot develop a relationship with a girl. He is active and pursues all the pleasure trappings that a big city have, but has no defining meaning to his life.
The book covers three days between him being kicked out of school and his untimely return home. Holden is depressed, hates everyone, exaggerates EVERYTHING (annoyingly so), and seems to have few people skills. In short, he is the perfect anti-hero and irritating enough that I did not like him one bit while reading this book.
I suppose this book speaks to the hearts of some disaffected youth, but they would have to be interested in drudging through 200 pages of dribble in order to find the voic
