What I'm Reading Now

Michael lives in my neighborhood. I do not know him but I see him around all the time. This book (his first) was named one of the top 10 best books of 2007 by the NY Times Book Review. He also just won the Impac Dublin Literary Award.

What I Just Read

My rating:

(I need to cry for 5 stars.)

Janelle interviewed me eons ago for Salon.com. She's a sassy lady who's super nice. This is her first novel. It received rave reviews and I loved every minute of it.

Happy Tuesday

I found this in a drawer. I tore it out of a magazine some time ago.


The average woman smiles 62 times a day.
A man? Only eight.
Kids laugh around 400 times daily.
Grown-ups, just 15.
Smilers in school yearbooks are more likely to have successful careers and marriages than their poker-faced peers."


Smile and laugh today!

omg where did you get that clock? My parents have had one like that (except it isn't silver, it's dark wood colors) for years and I have never seen anyone else with something that looks close to it!

Great post - smiling and laughing are important parts of our emotional arsenal and in these days of lives in the fast lane we as a species (especially in the first world) are tending to neglect them. On a recent trip to Africa I was amazed at the difference between our 2 societies - I encountered much laughter despite the povery whereas in my NY city you can walk several blocks and not see a smile amongst thousands of people...
