Better Living Through Science, Mark Frary

How soon do you need to apply your brakes? That is a good question. Mark Frary has overachieved in giving as a scietific answer. Fascinating.

Amazing. The author applies principles of geometry and thermodynamics to complete everyday challenging tasks such as unscrewing the lid of a jar or solving newspaper logic puzzles.

My Christmas gift for myself.

My secret Santa at work gave me a Barnes & Noble gift card. It took me no time to decide what to get

How cool is this ? Even the Fall 2010 show is in.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Stieg Larsson

An amazingly delicious novel. Like the crunchy chips and spicy salsa you are divulging while waiting for your meal.

p. 60

‘The street lights reflecting off the corners of the windows were all that lit the room. When Berger fell asleep sometime after 2:00 in the morning, Blomkvist lay awake studying her profile in the dimness. The covers were down around her waist and he watched her breasts slowly rising and falling. ’

p. 240

‘Blomkvist carried on his affair with headmistress Cecilia Vanger with the greatest discretion. ‘

p. 396

Blomkvist was reading a novel … when he heard the door handle turn and looked up to see Salander. She had a sheet wrapped round her body and stood in the doorway for a moment. …

‘Lisbeth, I don’t know if this is such a good idea. We have to work together.’

‘I want to have sex with you. And I won’t have any problem working with you, but I will have a hell of a problem with you if you kick me out.’

Stieg Larsson

Яж, моли се, обичай, Елизабет Гилбърт

Подейства ми като горещ ароматен чай в студена октомврийска вечер. Като изпих чашата до дъно, ръцете ми си възвърнаха чувствеността, дишах по-леко и сковаността в гърба ми изчезна.

И разбира се, гледах филма. Страхотни избори на актьори в ролята на Кетут и бразилеца ! Разочарована бях от липсващи ценни моменти …

p.181: ‘ Everyone who knew Elizabeth admired her general demeanor of good-humored forbearance; they took it as courage, and Piper could understand that. … But Piper treasured the angry Elizabeth, the one who lashed out indiscriminately, ignoring considerations of fairness or proportion. ‘

p.274: ‘ Dev called his mom at the restaurant because that was the first thing he thought of to do, even though he knew the way she worked: when he got upset, she got worried, and when she got worried, she got mad.’

Uh-huh! Is it appropriate for kids? I don’t know. I read it to my class of two-year-olds… Sometimes the other teachers would give me puzzled looks but they find the book funny, too.

I mean, how hilarious is this:

‘Snake behinds just don’t exist -

something no snake has ever missed.’

Hahahahaha.
