    Just dropping by to let you know we've started discussions on 'Letters to a Young Poet' on the Rory Gilmore Book Club. There's also an interesting discussion going on about who you'd write to if you were the 'young poet'. Hope you can join!

    Sara j!
    I'm still in Jersey but now work as a reference librarian at the public library . Short story is that the publishing company I moved here to work for is closing our office. Best part is that I now read book reviews and take home lots of reading for myself. Who'da thunkit? Worst part is the Crazies!

    Hey Sara,
    I have read one of Camus' books, "Resistance, Rebellion, and Death." I thought it was good, but I've been kind of interested in the French occupation of Algeria since seeing "The Battle of Algiers." The movie was really good. I thought "Resistance, Rebellion, and Death" had a ton of applicable information though it was written many years (~50) ago.
    I am in Hawaii right now for a friend's wedding, but haven't done anything but work on my friend's apartment. Bummer!

    Have you got the new Arcade Fire album yet? I highly recommend it!

    Hi, I just wanted to invite you to join a new group that I am starting here called, "The Politics of Food." I think you might enjoy it. I hope so.

    Hola Sara!

    I was glad to hear from you. I'm hoping to make it to FVRL tonight, I'll try to check out GOod Dog Carl then. I hope the moral of the story goes for pit bulls too, because Levi adopted one. Mom and Dad weren't super-stoked, but the dog is real sweet and i have friends that vouched for the previous owners so I am optimistic. You should check out Gates of Eden by Ethan Coen, I think you'll dig it!

    L'Chaim!

    Sara, I came to your shelf because I saw that you are from Barrow, AK. About 15 years ago, my second grade class in Maryland was keypals with another second grade class in Barrow, AK. It was a great and memorable experience for all of us. Perhaps, you know the teacher. Her first name is Tracee. I also remember that there were only 20 students in her class and that 18 of them were Inuit. And that year the head whaler in a boat was the father of one of the students in Tracee's class. They caught a 54 (or was it 57) foot whale that year! Karen

    Hey Sara,
    How's the long cold winter of the great white north treating you? I was wondering what your opinion was on Blue Like Jazz. I am about a quarter of the way into it and am not sure about it. Everyone that I know that has read it has liked it. The title seems a little contradictory to what I am getting from it. "Nonreligious views on christianity," seems a little inaccurate, but I could be misunderstanding it. I do that from time to time.

    Hey Sara,

    When were you coming south to visit exactly? I am working with a framing crew right now for winter work. It is a whole lot of fun. I leave everyday tired as hell, dirty, and often cold and wet. In other words, it is everything I hoped and more. Right now I am reading "Guests of the Ayatollah" by Mark Bowden. It is good, but sometimes his sentences can be a little convoluted.
