So I have finished reading Artemis Fowl and I am currently working on decoding he message at the bottom of the pages. The book itself is good. Eoin Colfer really takes an old subject like fairies and leprechauns and gives it a new twist. However the book is a little adolescent in it’s nature, I suspect Colfer is trying to copy the success Ms. Rowling has had with Harry Potter by appealing to young people without offending their parents. The plots are compelling and original but the action is subdued. Colfer makes fun of himself by playfully catching himself before any vulgarities are written, trying to give the piece and off the cuff feel. All this aside I must say that I do recommend this book not only to children middle school and younger but also to adults who are looking for a quick read that is also entertaining. While it’s not Shakespeare it is surprising the amount of emotional attachment that we feel towards the title character. Eoin gives us hints that Artemis has not yet revealed his true nature we shall see as Artemis grows up how he handles the responsibility of his knowledge of the People.

I purchased the 310XT for my wife and trained with it. I subsequently purchased the 305 for myself (for when we do races together). For the money it’s a solid unit and really has most of the usable funcionality of the 310XT. It’s just not as waterproof and does not have the wireless upload. Really plugging the USB into the computer is not a big deal for half the cost of the 310.

Wow, it’s been four years since it’s release and its still sold out! I called 3 town looking for one and decided to take my chances online, and oh boy am I glad I did! The overnight shipping rate was cheaper than sales tax in the store! I got my Wii today delivered to my door. I am more than pleased with the packaging and shipping rates, and the product was brand new in the box, very high quality! I am recommending this to anyone!

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

The nintendo wii is a breath of fresh air to the video game industry. In a world saturated with first person shooters, games geared for adult crowd, and an abundance of blood and gore, it is refreshing to have a game experience that you can have and not worry about whose head will be chopped off or how many kills you have. I love that the wii causes you to actually get off the couch and do something. You can actually work out while playing video games. Nintendo took the first step. Now it’s time for some good changes to the industry.

I have a healthometer upright scale but wanted a portable scale to take on a road-trip. This scale is lovely to look at, accurate, easy to read, backlit, and travel-ready (for car trips). I am very pleased. Works on all surfaces.

This is a great pedometer. In the first couple days, I tried to see how accurately it tracked my steps – I am completely pleased. I don’t believe that it really over or underestimates how many steps I take. I love that it can calibrate for me to include distance travelled and if I’ve had any moments of aerobic walking and how long those were. I really like the 7 day history as well so that I can go back and put in my steps for days that I forget to log. Excellent device! I really hope it holds up!
