As The Grapes of Wrath depresses the ever-lovin' shit out of me, this blog cracked me up. Below are a few of my favorites. One-Star Book Reviews "Ever since women (deservedly) got the vote, feminists have had to scrounge for stuff to gripe about. Take Ally McBeal, for example." "Complete drivel... This book has no conflict." "Pure crap." "I feel bad because of the slavery..." "This may be called feminism, but it is total crap for the fact that not all feminists are inco

I am currently in the process of looking into programs to pursue my Masters of Library Sciences (and I'm askeered. It's been over ten years since I was last in school *GULP*). I happened upon this gem of a tumblr page recently and am completely smitten. Enjoy!

For the latest Deep Thoughts from Damp Tresses, I read Allegiant by Veronica Roth (the third and final book in the Divergent trilogy). A whole is made up of individual parts. And while most of us prioritize being a certain thing (intelligent, kind, brave...), we can only reach our full potential when we accept all the parts of ourselves. The Divergent series is a story of what happens when people are only expected to be one thing and how that can cripple an entire society.

I'm finally getting around to reading Allegiant, the final book in Veronica Roth's Divergent series. I just stumbled across this quote and it sums up exactly what I feel every time I pick up a book. “He hands me the book and turns back to the computer. I look down at the worn cover and run my fingers along the edge of the pages. He makes the acquisition of knowledge feel like a secret, beautiful thing, and an ancient thing. I feel like, if I read this book, I can reach bac

Yesterday BearAllen celebrated the 33rd anniversary of her arrival onto this big, spinning ball. I got two book-related gifts that I wanted to share with you! A few weeks ago, I saw this mug on a BuzzFeed article and instantly fell in love. I posted on Facebook, trying to see if anyone was willing to buy it for me (Pride. I haz none.) My adorable sister-in-law informed me that the mug was almost my Christmas present but she got my "I like big books and I cannot lie" bag

I recently had the pleasure of seeing the film adaptation of Divergent. First of all, I made the rookie mistake of re-reading the book RIGHT before I saw the movie. So the details were too fresh in my mind for a truly objective viewing of the movie. I really try hard to see a movie as a separate entity from the book. The creators essentially have 2 hours to re-create something that likely took the average person a few days to read. Unless the fans are willing to sleep in

Remember here when I used my psychic powers (aka self-deprecating self-awareness) to state that I was beginning "Facebook Friday" but would likely forgetting most Fridays? Well, that was Friday February 21st and here we are... Friday February April 4th. But let's try this again!

If you want to set yourself up for possible elation or disappointment... take this BuzzFeed quiz to determine how well-read you are. BuzzFeed: How Well-Read Are You These were my results: This result just confirms for me that I made a good decision in beginning this challenge. The whole reason I started this is because I realized I loved to read, but there were so many must-reads that I had just glossed over. Hopefully by this time next year, my score will be better! #buzz

I should be reading The Grapes of Wrath but instead I'm re-reading Divergent in preparation to see the movie! #thegrapesofwrath #johnsteinbeck #divergent #veronicaroth

I was just a-Googlin' and came across this. You're very welcome. [Note: I didn't read the entire entry because I'm not done yet and "don wan' no spoilers" (that sounds a bit like how the Joads would speak, right?). But I read up to the part of the story I'm currently at and (appropriately, as you'll discovered) lol'd my face off. I assume the rest is just as good.] From Uncyclopedia. I had never heard of it either, but I'm a big fan now. The Grapes of Wrath begins
