After J.D. Salinger died, my 92-year-old mother expressed interest in reading The Catcher in the Rye, so I ordered a used copy of the book The Catcher in the Rye through Amazon.com and had it sent to her. She really enjoyed reading it and gave a review of it at her retirement home book club. She told them she loved the book. I asked for her comments for this book review, and she said:
“I was curious because I heard that after J.D. Salinger died the book is deemed a classic. I hadn’t read it because at one time it was banned. I learned a lot about Holden Caulfield–coming of age. I laughed a lot when reading great descriptions of characters. I could gloss over swear words. A fun book open- ended.”

I really enjoyed “The Help” – great fictional characters give an interesting insight into how real people — black and white — lived their lives during the civil rights movement. I read this for book club & it was an excellent book for promoting discussion as well. Thoroughly enjoyable!

It works fine. I have web-based e-mail and keep my contacts on paper so don’t need Outlook, etc. It’s fine.
Apple ipod iTouch 3rd

I’ve only had my new iTouch for a few days but I already do love it. It was really easy to set up e-mail and internet with my home wireless program and I like the way the e-mail program works with AOL. The only thing I haven’t found yet is how to access my address book, if it is actually available. I was disappointed that I couldn’t charge the battery with my Bose dock that accepts my earlier iPod. I was also disappointed that I couldn’t import videos I shot with my digital camera. The iTouch doesn’t seem to recognize the file format. I do have CuCuSoft which converts videos for iPod and I’m hoping it works the way it did for my older iPod. I am disappointed that you can’t buy a machine like this that allows you to use free WiFi and have a cell phone in one device without paying for a data plan, but for now this machine is the best product out there for these purposes. I love how beautifully my photo collection is displayed, including the ability to rotate the device to best accomodate landscape/portrait shots. And the speaker for playing music or any other video file is amazing for such a small device. It actually sounds better than the speaker on my wife’s laptop. I can’t wait to search for aps as there is some really cool stuff available. The free WiFi finder is one of the first I’m going to download. I tried to import my calendar and contacts from my Palm Pilot, Tungsten E, but since I went from Windows XP to Vista my Palm desktop can no longer save those files in a format that can be exported to iPod. So I’m going to have to re-create everthing manually. What a shame software designers don’t think about this stuff. Overall, however this is one amazing machine and I can’t wait to spend more time using it.

This is a very high quality product. The cable is very well made.

You get the cable with right/left audio, video, usb ( sync/charge ) connections and an Apple AC Adapter cube.

I have a Pro Clip USA mount with bottom connector with pass-thru in my car and I used this cable to connect my iPhone 3G to the car stereo audio and power to a power slot in my dash. It looks and works perfect. I just slide my iPhone into the Pro Clip iPhone 3G mount and I have perfect audio and power to the iPhone 3G without having to hook-up any cables. Very slick and sweet ! Easy in and out.

I had no problem at all with the connectors. They fit just fine on to the audio jacks in my car.

I highly recommend this product to you.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the hose is permanently installed in the vacuum and makes using the tools quicker and easier along with good suction. My old Hoover’s hose was separate and had to be inserted at bottom of machine. Good change. Did not find the noise level offensive. Good buy for the money.

Before I purchased this book, everything I’d heard about it – which, granted, was very little – made me believe the author was African-American. Unfortunately, I found out that was not the case just prior to reading it. The mention of that fact – the book written about the lives of black maids from the point of view of a white author – got me turned up noses, rolled eyes, and pursed lips. I pride myself on not settling with initial feelings that I have that are racist, biased, or prejudiced. However, I found myself thinking thoughts such as, “How is a white woman gone write about life from the point of view of a black woman?” Mind you, I still haven’t cracked it open yet.
Finally, I began reading and what I found most difficult was getting a rhythm. I have read books that are written in dialect, so to speak, such as Zora Neale Hurston’s work and usually have to read them aloud until I find the rhythm of the writing. But this was different. I found myself thinking, “See? She don’t even know how to write the way we talk.” My authority on the matter is self-ordained. Never mind I didn’t grow up in Mississippi in the 60’s and never was a maid – I have decided I am an authority on writing the way we speak, also ignoring the fact that I am not a best selling author yet.
As I go further into the story I am very much engaged. I want to know what the Terrible Awful was and am guessing why Miss Celia has a rust colored stain on her rug. I am pulling for Skeeter and feeling sorry for Stuart. And I feel like this is more of the author’s story than her perspective of life from the point of view of a black maid.
But in the end I think, “Why is this book just now being released?” I am not asking a question about the author’s timing in writing the book nor the time it took to be published and released. I feel like this should have been released in 1965. Then I would appreciate it better. But right now it just makes me angry. As so much of what I hear about Mississippi does.

Great book! Never read a book like this before but it really brings to life the [train] traveling circus experience from an insider’s ‘learn as you go’ POV during the Depression era. There is such an ominous feel throughout the entire book that I never expected an ending as such… I actually thought it would be more depressing, but I’m not disappointed.

What can I say? Best gadget I have ever bought, it just makes me want I iPhone now so I can get n the Internet without having to be in range of a wireless network. If I had to do it again, I would just buy an iPhone because it has all the functions of an iPod and more. As an mp3 player, nothing comes close to it.
