Week 2 Assignment

I created a wiki for Book Club Suggestions. I see a value in wikis for communally created documents or collections of documents. I view a blog as linear and mainly one person's creation with comments added by others.

MLA Ce Week 1

I created a blog and experimented a lot with RSS feeds and Google Reader.  See more value for me in the latter.  At this point, I see the main value in knowing enough to guide library patrons in using it for themselves.

Books of March - Week 1

Finished recently:

My French Whore - Gene Wilder, 2007 - read for Virago =, but can't attend meeting.  Nvella about  man who ends up impersonating a German spy during WW I. Reminded me of the movie "Catch Me If You Can". Sweet and sad.

The Madonnas of Leningrad - Debra Dean, 2006 - read for LLB and discussed at Geri's on 3/12.  Enjoyed both the detailed description of the Hermitage Museum during WWII's Siege of Leningrad and the modern-day experience of Alzheimer's disease.  Carol and Caroline found it a little too depressing, wished it was only about the historic side of story.  Geri said she got more out of it after discussing and loved the historic aspects.

"Rumors" - Neil Simon - Cecily is in this play next month playing Claire.  Lots of quick repartee as everyone tries to hide events from each other.  Should be funny.
