I just read Ann Patchett's latest, State of Wonder, which involves traveling to Brazil, and quite liked it.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Is it that the book should be about travel, or have a travel theme? Jon Irving's Untl I Find You and Alice Walker's Temple of My familiar are travel themed.

Also, I just found out that there is a Jon Irving book I haven't read!
Oh, and Even Cowgirls Get the Blues is also travel themed

...Deadline. But i has a complaint. A kvetch, if you would.
My take on that was that the reader was supposed to think "What the fuck?!" and thus Georgia's "What the fuck is going on here?" is meant to be an echo of that. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing how cleverly that question gets answered in the next book.
My own primary complaint is that no one seemed to regret or even have qualms over deceiving their audience with false blog posts. The necessity is clear, but no one seemed to mind, or care what it would do to their credibility if they ever got to the point where they could go public with the story.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In Deadline, did anyone else notice that at one point Georgia's death date is given as 2032; Feed takes place in 2040. I'm wondering if it'll turn out that there's a technique for transferring memories from an original body to a clone. As well as growing a clone to adulthood quickly.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Toddson, I think that may be an error. I noticed an error in one of the blog post dates, too. The date of the Rising got moved during the editing process, and I think there was an incorrect date or two in Feed as well.
