  1. I am being such a thread hog, but I've been doing a lot of reading lately With or Without You - Domenica Ruta A memoir about a woman who grew up with a drug addicted mother. Although they were disadvantaged, Domenica's mother always tried to get her ahead, but addiction grips them both hard. Domenica has to try and break free from her mother to get her life together. It is a memoir written not with rancor, but clarity. 8.5/10

  5. The book "This is Where I Leave You" was awesome, so I expect no less. Glad to hear that the movie does it justice. Hopefully, I'll get to go see it soon
  6. Someone asked me today if I had hit my 40's yet. When I told her I was 43, she said, "Oh, you look 38!" THAT really sweetened my coffee :sing1:
  7. Dare Me - Megan Abbott A look into the world of teenage girls, cheerleaders in particular and what can happen when a queen bee feels like she's losing her power over the other girls, her best friend in particular. Makes me happy that my daughter isn't into all that. 8/10
  8. Sorry, yes, let's replace it with this. I just checked and it's not on the list Maria Maria - Santana feat. the Product G&B
  9. "The Abstinence Teacher" - Tom Perrotta Ruth loves her job as a health teacher for high school, educating kids about safe sex. A hardcore Christian group moves into town and pressures the school into teaching abstinence, which Ruth thinks is ridiculous. She clashes with a local church member at her daughter's soccer game, and to fix the problem they agree to talk. Once they get to know each other, they start to find common ground. 7/10
  10. Gran Torino 9/10 Clint Eastwood plays a widowed, racist Korean war veteran named Walt who doesn't like seeing all the Hmong people moving into his neighborhood. A neighbor kid tries to steal his car to get a local gang off his back, and now Walt is intertwined with this boy and his family and their struggle to keep him out of a gang. A must see

  12. "Open House" - Elizabeth Berg A woman is reeling after her husband leaves, struggling to make money, find her identity, and keep her sanity. A good light read 6/10 Now I am reading "The Abstinence Teacher" by Tom Perrotta. Looks good so far.
