My War…

I have been scouring the web for any type of reading guide for the Jan/Feb reading selection, “My War ~ Killing Time In Iraq” by Colby Buzzell and have had little luck.  I did come across a review by Matthew Hill at the University of Maryland  as well as a great article from The New York [...]

Period Of Reflection

Two weeks ago a thirty-eight year-old Marine allegedly raped a fourteen year-old Okinawan girl in his car.  This was the first in a few crimes committed by U.S. service members in Okinawa, Japan and off site of U.S. military installations within a period of a week.  The repercussions of these events have resulted in a “Period of Reflection” of all SOFA status [...]

I’ve Been A Bad Girl

Since returning from Kyoto last weekend I have to admit that I haven’t been reading my book “The Pillars of the Earth”.  Instead I have been reading my mags that arrived in the mail and watching movies.  I rented Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married”, “Across the Universe” and “Margot at the Wedding”.  WDIGM was [...]

3 Out of 33

I finished the third of 33 books I will hopefully read this year.  I know some of you may not agree that it is a “book” but it was suspenseful, beautiful, had a plot and was a comic book.  “Wonder Woman: Love & Murder“by bestselling author Jodi Picoult was great!  I haven’t sat down and [...]

Spicy Noodles & A Good Book

The other day I had lunch with two friends at a delicious spicy noodle restaurant called Tan Tan and we discussed a bit of “The Pillars of the Earth” by Ken Follett.  Both of these ladies are much further along than me in this almost one thousand page book and were afraid of letting out any [...]

Book Review ~ My War… Killing Time In Iraq

First of all I would like to say….. Congrats to the GIANTS!!  My mantra of the weekend was “Anybody But The Pats….. Go Giants!”. 
I finished “My War… Killing Time In Iraq” by Colby Buzzell over the weekend.  I really liked it though I was ready to move on to a new book about 3/4 of [...]
