	Boy (book) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Boy: Tales of Childhood (1984) is the first autobiographical book by Roald Dahl (1916–1990), the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda and The BFG.
		This book covers Dahl's life, from his first memories onward to leaving school, including accounts of his relationship with his mother and his treatment at English public schools.
		The book discusses the ramifications of small mistakes or faults like forgetting pair of socks on the floor just before bedtime, burning your toast at tea, or even small things such as asking a teacher if you could go to the toilet at the "wrong time".

	Boy Meets Boy \| Book Review \| David Levithan \| Author \| Romance Novel \| Gay Teen \| Dating (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Boy Meets Boy is a well-written, witty novel.
		The only difference is, this book is about Paul, a 16 year-old gay boy who has fallen in love with the new boy in town, Noah.
		Boy Meets Boy would be very encouraging for gay (and straight) teens were it a bit more realistic.

	Largehearted Boy: Book Notes - Laila Lalami
		I have been reading her literary blog, Moorish Girl, for several years, and her writing has always inspired me. When she announced that her book was to be published, I knew it would be good.
		This is one of my favorite books of the year, and one I will recommend to friends and family for a long time.
		The book opens in media res and we’re introduced to each of the four main characters: Murad, a street hustler; Halima, a woman on the run from her husband; Aziz, an out-of-work mechanic; and Faten, a religious fanatic.

		Magrs, 32, said the book was largely autobiographical, and defended it as an accurate portrayal of a young person's development.

	Book Review: Karate Boy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The word "fighting" is used throughout the book, but it is also made clear that karate class is not just an excuse to kick and punch.
		The purpose of this book is to present a typical boy's experience of karate class.
		A strength of this book is that the author provides a brief glossary of karate terms like dojo and obi, and provides easily understood means of pronunciation.

		Talking about my boy apprehension proved to be a sensitive topic: Before I became pregnant with my son, Nate, I had confessed to a friend that I didn't ever want to have a boy, that I was afraid of having a son.
		This book, It's a Boy, and its companion piece, It's a Girl, due out in 2006, are the result.
		In the second section, "Will Boys Be Boys?" writers further explore the notion of the "otherness" of boys, including violence, preschool bullies, "boy" literature, the freedom and power of boyhood, and dreams of a boy that never was.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| Review \| Review: The Boy by Germaine Greer
		In the current context of Masai life, boys must grow into men without such an achievement; it feels rather odd for her to assume that other cultures are so static and that they do not have their own currents of change.
		Her statement that recently "the age-old collaboration between mature women and boys in search of sexual enlightenment was at an end, officially at least", sits oddly with the current resurgence of interest in such matches.
		But she also suggests that boys are currently "considered attractive only to a perverted taste", that "the boy is the missing term in the discussions of the possibility of a female gaze".

	ReadingWritingLiving: It's A Boy! Book Tour
		I actually have a piece in the book, which may come as a surprise to those of you who know I have two daughters.
		A: Well, as I said in my original call for submissions, my whole idea with this book was to refute the gender stereotypes about boys and girls, and to explore whether or not those stereotypes really exist in actual boys and girls through essays by thoughtful writers.
		For the BOY book, I was specifically looking for pieces that questioned the cultural assumptions we have about boys -- whether the essayists ultimately embraced the stereotypes or rejected them was not as important to me as whether or not the writers wrestled with them in the first place.

	Steven Wu's Book Reviews: A Suitable Boy (Vikram Seth)
		When I began the book I knew next to nothing about India except for the meager amount that was taught in America's public school system, but I very seldom felt that Seth had left me in the dark, even though a significant proportion of the book deals with the minutiae of Indian politics.
		Too much of the book is filled with tedious (if well written) details that don't contribute much to the story, nor to the background, and could easily have been cut.
		Finally, the length of the book is even more frustrating because Seth drops in so many "smoking guns" that turn out to be completely unimportant but that still take up dozens of pages.

	Half Changed World: It's a Boy!
		Today's book is "It's a Boy: Women Writers on Raising Sons," a collection of essays edited by Andi Buchanan, author of Mother Shock.
		This is part of her blog book tour, in which different bloggers have been writing about the book each day this month.
		I think the biggest challenge raising boys, for men and women, is giving the boy the inner strength to be himself, to be true to himself, despite all of the awful societal pressures to squeeze himself into that stereotypical masculine box.

		Thomas' book is an anecdote-rich, birth-to-death tale with the known conclusion made chilling nonetheless.
		Though the boys are caucasian in every way and their mother was white, their father was a very light skinned member of his African American family - a difference that was never directly addressed in the Williams household: the boys thought he was of Greek or Italian descent.

		The book is sometimes considered a fictionalized autobiography or an autobiographical novel because of its use of novelistic techniques.
		Black Boy by Richard Wright follows his life from a young, fl boy trying to survive the early 1900s to a man trying to find his place with a society in the late 1930s.
		There are not many books that can be looked at in the same light as this novel, because it is true story and everything in the novel was told first hand from the man who experienced it.

		There are some books that were written by some of the great animators, but I don't know of any book still in print that was written by a voice-over talent about the experiences of working on a particular show.
		This book will be released and, in time, it will eventually move off the front-of-the-store rack and go on the shelf next to the other books on animation or biographies.
		The book is sure to appeal to the millions of Simpsons fans that can't seem to ever get their fill of America's favorite dysfunctional family.

		With my first book, Mother Shock, I did a traditional book tour, traveling to various cities and doing bookstore readings.
		But what I found in the course of promoting my book was that the traditional bookstore reading wasn't such a great way to reach my audience.
		Coming up in May, 60 or so bloggers will write about It's a Girl, and, just as with the BOY tour, I'll be writing each day about the essays in the book and the wonderful writers behind them.

		But if the book is meant to be a creative picture and a warning, even then, it misses its possible effectiveness becuase it is as a work of art so patently and terribly overdrawn."
		The book is poignant because Richard Wright as a child and adolescent was a highly sensitive individual subjected to a series of cruel and almost unbearable shocks.
		"'Black Boy' is filled with blues-tempered echoes of railroad trains, the names of Southern towns and cities, estrangements, fights and flights, deaths and disappointments, charged with physical and spiritual hungers and pain.

		Author Alex Green breaks the book down into a chapter for every track, and every chapter builds not only the story of the band and their seminal album, but also why The Stone Roses is the author's favorite album.
		And that was fine, because this kind of research served the book, and as its author I was quite pleased with my findings, but as a music fan, one who is still seduced by a big chorus of a pop song, I was a bit disheartened by the whole process for a while.
