A cool book quiz thingy

You're Alice's Adventures in Wonderland!
by Lewis Carroll

After stumbling down the wrong turn in life, you've had your mind opened to a number of strange and curious things. As life grows curiouser and curiouser, you have to ask yourself what's real and what's the picture of illusion. Little is coming to your aid in discerning fantasy from fact, but the line between them is so blurry that it's starting not to matter. Be careful around rabbit holes and those who smile to much, and just avoid hat shops altogether.

Little Book of Hindu Deities

My lone art nerd AP Art History Student will be thrilled to death with my mail haul today. I found "The Little Book of Hindu Deities" on Amazon (by way of BoingBoing) and just had to get it. Luckily enough, she just finished reading about Hindu art in class and gets to pick a project to showcase her newfound appreciation of Hindu art. This book could give her a lot of inspiration! I know I couldn't put it down. She's going to love it!

It was written and illustrated by Sanjay Patel, an author and also artist from Pixar. The deities and other illustrations draw heavily on the bubblegum-pop Hello Kitty genre, and the stories about each deitiy are written in witty-yet-easy-to-digest language appropriate for kids and adults. It is substantial enough to be a textbook for a class on Hindu mythology, but fun enough to become a favorite read.
