Nathan's Famous

J'en suis encore effondrée ! C'est vraiment le sport le plus inutile (?) mais Takeru Kobayashi a été battu lors du concours du plus gros mangeur de hot-dogs. Un Américain détient maintenant le record du monde (!). Depuis six ans que le Japonais gagnait,...

Baby Brother's Blues (Pearl Cleage)

Baby Brother's Blues (Pearl Cleage)
Well, a good book, but definitely not as good as Some Things I'd Never Thought I'd Do. There is more of that supernatural story line in this book that I did not care for in the first novel. And I was a bit disappointed that Pearl Cleage added some characters...

Bravo Joakim !

Sélectionné par les Bulls ! Bon, il n'est pas encore français et son costume n'était pas terrible, mais espérons qu'il sera aussi brillant que Tony Parker. On dirait que c'était hier que Yannick Noah gagnait à Roland Garros et Joakim va jouer en NBA....

The Madonnas of Leningrad: A Novel (Debra Dean)

The Madonnas of Leningrad: A Novel (Debra Dean)
This novel felt so mechanical to me, it was all description with no soul. I wondered if the author had been to Leningrad before she wrote the book. After reading the author's note at the end, it did not seem she had. She gives a bibliography and indicates...

On BBC America

J'ai redécouvert et découvert deux reality shows de Channel 4: How clean is your house et Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. J'avais déjà vu la version américaine du premier show mais je n'avais jamais regardé les émissions de Gordon Ramsay. Il est génial Gordon...

Some Things I Never Thought I'd Do (Pearl Cleage)

Some Things I Never Thought I'd Do (Pearl Cleage)
Pearl Cleage had me scared for a few pages there when Regina Burns' aunt has a vision of a man who's been looking for her niece for several centuries. I don't mind a little supernatural, but I was hoping it would not be a big part of the plot. I am relieved:...

Le tableau du Maître flamand (Arturo Pérez-Reverte)

Le tableau du Maître flamand (Arturo Pérez-Reverte)
Bon livre et bon suspense. Je n'ai pas trop accroché à cause des longues descriptions (je préfère quand il y a de l'action) et des échecs (jeu qui ne m'a jamais passionnée il faut le dire). En revanche, les personnages, les références historiques, les...

The Beauty Academy of Kabul

The Beauty Academy of Kabul
I read an article about the book on my local library Web site, and realized there was also a documentary. I will eventually read the book, since it was written by Debbie, my favorite hair stylist in the "film". Even though I could not believe she dared...

Their Eyes Were Watching God (Zora Neale Hurston)

Their Eyes Were Watching God (Zora Neale Hurston)
Despite the difficulty I had getting used to the black speech used in the book, I really enjoyed this story of a woman trying to find herself. The story is so simple, and yet so touching and moving. It tells the story of a black woman in the 30's, who...

The Prestige

The Prestige
What a movie! And the actors: Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale were amazing. Needless to say, my sister and I understood long before Hugh that Christian had a twin brother (aren't there any twin actors that can actually play twins, and can't there be any...
