Excellent Resource on Tablet PC.......2006-08-24
I really like the author's approach, since he actually gives both relevant technical information and provides the practical business practice.
How-to books are "easy" to write... what Michael Linenberger does is fantastic and more technical books should be written with this dual perspective!
Tablet PC book not for learning the Tablet.......2006-07-05
This book is not for someone learning to really use the Tablet PC. It is about his system of organization and how to use the Tablet PC as a key device in organizing your life, as the title indicates. I was disappointed in the book overall as I was looking for a book that would educate the physicians I support in better use of the Tablet itself.
Good Reminder for Professionals.......2006-03-26
As I read the book it reminded me of all the things I should be doing to keep my work organized. The tablet PC is a great tool which I encorporated into my daily routine prior to reading. This book gave me helpful hints on how to do things effectively and efficently on my tablet. The book is written using the beta and initial version of the tablet PC tools. If you purchase you must download the updates of Chapters 3 & 4. This update gives a better understanding of the current tools of the tablet PC. It is worth the money in time saved.
Should be sold with every tablet pc!.......2006-03-09
Microsoft should package a copy of this book with every tablet sold! Good for personal and business productivity!
Great for the right work environment.......2006-01-03
I really enjoyed the book, and it was very helpful to me in getting up to speed on how to take advantage of the features of my new Tablet Convertible.
I think workers and executives who spend a large portion of their time in and out of meetings will get the most out of this book. As an independent contractor who spends 80 to 90% of of my time working at my desk in my home office, I felt a lot didn't really apply to me.
Also, the book really is outdated, now. He reviews the pros and cons of his recommended software tools -- but ALL of them have had significant upgrades since publication.
The author points to his website, where he promises updates as technology changes, but I only found a single updated chapter (really an article) that describes the major enhancement of SP 2 of Windows XP. It was a great article, but I was disappointed there was nothing about GoBinder (not mentioned in his book) nor the updates to OneNote, PlanPlus, and MindManager.
This book should be studied for ideas and concepts to consider and adapt, rather than followed as the ideal system.
Bottom line is that I got a lot out of this book, and I will now be more effective with my Tablet PC.

Boring plodding book - 120 pages and still too long.......2007-06-29
Somewhere after realism stopped being about murder and turned to ordinary people doing ordinary things, the literati thought it'd be a great innovation to present the most boring people in society acting out boring lives. The works of Arthur Miller represent this genre quite completely. Forgetting that everyone is unique in some way or the other and we all have quirks, these books chose to focus on the most pathetic individuals and claim them as Everyman.
Tommy Wilhelm is one of the biggest losers in fiction. He's whining about his wife and children. His father doesn't understand him. His acting career was a bust and his sales career is dead. So he invests with a confidence man and spends most of the book worrying that this guy will rip him off. Of course, this guy does rip him off; so he gets to hear "I told you so" from both his wife and his father. You don't like him. He's not interesting. The entirety of the book is to take an unlikeable drone and make him whine for 100 pages.
Besides the historical significance (who knew that poor people ever lived on the Upper West Side?) the book is a trifle and a waste of time. Even at 120 pages, it's much too long.
Of Fathers and Sons.......2007-06-07
I recently finished reading Martin Amis's EXPERIENCE: A MEMOIR in which he cites Saul Bellow as a literary father figure (moreso, it seems, than his own author father Kingsley Amis). This made me want to read something by Bellow and since SEIZE THE DAY is a short novel (114 pages) from his peak period I chose to read this book first. Cynthia Ozick's introductory essay was not a very helpful introduction to the book. She quotes heavily from the novel, which is a bit of a spoiler. Perhaps it would have been better to read her essay after reading the novel.
First published in 1956, the novel is about a middle-aged man in New York City who is separated from his wife (and sons) and living in a residential hotel, the Gloriana, the same hotel where his father keeps a separate apartment. I appreciated this book as a portrait of a middle-aged, middle class white male in mid-twentieth century America. One feels both sympathy for and frustration with the main character, Tommy Wilhelm. He's intelligent and well-meaning, but also weak and easily swayed by others' opinion of him and what he needs to do to become a "success." A failed Hollywood actor, he seems startled to learn, like Willie Loman, that personal attractiveness is not always enough to ensure success. His disappointment in himself is echoed by his own father, Dr. Adler, who is unwilling to give him words of encouragement (or the much-needed financial aid his son seeks). But his birth father is not the only father figure in his life to betray or disappoint him. There was also Maurice Venice, the sleazy agent who encouraged Wilhelm to drop out of college to pursue a career in pictures. And then, in the present day of the story (the entire novel unfolds in a single day like the much longer ULYSSES) there is Dr. Tamkin, a dubiously credentialed psychiatrist, who lures Wilhelm to invest in lard in the Chicago commodities market, precipitating the primary crisis of the novel. Against this tortured backdrop is the story of Wilhelm's own efforts to remain a visible and active part in his own sons' lives while trying to initiate a divorce from their mother. While some readers may perceive the depiction of the "blood-sucking" Margaret as misogynistic, Bellow's depiction of this failed relationship seems authentic, especially for the era he was writing about. Fathers' rights were few and women, even separated and divorced women, were expected to stay at home and take care of their children. And in the end, SEIZE THE DAY is a novel without either untarnished heroes or blameless victims. Even disappointing father figures can speak profound truths, as Dr. Tamkin does when he tells Wilhelm, "Don't marry suffering. Some people do. They get married to it, and sleep and eat together, just as husband and wife. If they go with joy they think it's adultery." In SEIZE THE DAY Bellow has given us a powerful meditation on what it means to pursue the soul's deepest desires and to mourn the many deaths and losses even the most optimistic among us is bound to encounter living out the life they've been given.
A Day in the Life.......2007-05-12
I found this book immensely satisfying in its form and its substance. Yet I felt quite relieved to finish it. The main character Wilhelm's feeling of oppression and despair was so contagious that like him, I as the reader felt that I was searching for relief. And all in the space of one day - or in fact, less than a day. A day in the life.
As the story progresses, it does not progress. It stands still, and Wilhelm is still trapped in his search for the simple, the beautiful. That is, until the last page, when he sinks into "the happy oblivion of tears." The readers, feels like clapping and cheering with every tear he sheds.
This is a man's world, where people "make a killing" in the growing complexities of 1950s New York. Even old men are caught in the obsession of making money. One gets the feeling there is no space for women here.
Although the hypnotic Dr Tamkin holds sway over Wilhelm, his main conflict is with his father - depicted as a vain, cold old man. Wilhelm suffers from that coldness. He is trying to find the warmth.
Bellow seems able to sum up a character in one paragraph. Also, in a Dickensian way, the appearance of the character IS the character.
This is a complete gem of a novel. We are taken through an important day in the life of Wilhelm, in the intensity of New York on the edge of the modern world, vividly depicted. It is a book you will want to dip back into time and again, for its beautiful pearls of language and emotion.
Review of seize the Day.......2007-03-09
The book was pretty goo, never would have read it if i didn't need it for my English class
Powerful and bleak.......2007-02-05
The American Dream is such an awesome, vast, teeming notion that promises so much and forgets those who are broken on its huge wheel. Tommy Wilhelm is one such man, a salesman in mid life who has lost his job, left his family and now festers in limbo, worrying, fretting with his burden in a hotel room. Everywhere he turns, he is scorned. By the mysterious Tamkin, a wild and shifty charismatic character who insists a fortune can be made easily be made by closely watching certain patterns: 'You think the Wall Street guys are so smart - geniuses? That's because most of us are psychologically afraid to think about the details.' He is, of course, a conman, who deceives Wilhelm out of the last of his money, but Wilhelm is too gullible to see this.
Then there is his father, Dr Adler - a proud, dying, stern man who treats his son with wretched contempt when he is forced to ask for money, unfeelingly, his father emasculates Tommy's condition in phrases that cut deep in their scathing: 'You cry about being helped,' he said. 'When you thought you had to go into the service I sent a check to Margret every month. As a family man you could have had an exemption. But no? The war couldn't be fought without you and you had to get yourself drafted and be an office boy in the Pacific theater. Any clerk could have done what you did. You could find nothing better to become than a GI.' Ouch.
All of this combines in a memorable scene towards the end of the novella, after Tommy has been humiliated by his ex wife, who holds him to his payments towards their children which he cannot afford and his father, boling with rage, rejects him entirely: 'Go away from me now. It's torture for me to look at you, you slob!'. Tommy goes out into the street: 'And the great, great crowd, the inexhaustible current of millions of every race and kind pouring out, pressing round, of ever age, of every genius, possessors of every human secret, antique and future, in every face the refinement of one particular motive or essence - I labor, I spend, I strive, I design, I love, I cling, I uphold, I give way, I envy, I long, I scorn, I die, I hide, I want.'
Despite all the circumstances, the slings and arrows Tommy has suffered, he retains the essential human essence, the grappling with existence that Bellow stared into deeply in his work. There is something of the defiance, the glorifying human passage of Augie March, that remains, even in the most desperate, desperate circumstances.

Bellow Vol.2.......2007-02-06
Another great collection of Bellow's works. Hope the Library of America comes out with the next volume sooner than a year.
A beautiful edition of three powerful works by an American master.......2007-02-06
These are three very fine, even great, novels. Of course, one doesn't simply dash through Bellow. Each page requires and rewards close reading. While Bellow has been criticized for putting some things in his novels to show off his vast erudition, I found those details interesting and that they contributed to an understanding of the characters in each story.
The first novel is also the shortest. "Seize the Day" is about a middle-aged man who has lost his way in life. Tommy Wilhem can't escape his father or his wife. He hasn't ever found a way to get a footing in life or to carve out a place of success for himself. Tommy's mother died too soon, and it seems his father is living too long. Not that we wish the old guy would die, but because he is so focused on himself that he has become a competitor to his son and does not respond as much of a father, let alone an indulgent one. The wife Wilhelm has left won't give him a divorce (this is before no-fault divorces) and is using everything at her disposal to punish Tommy. Should Tommy surrender and come home emasculated? Yes, Wilhelm has or had a girlfriend, but he doesn't even pull that off well.
Tommy is so desperate for approval that he first went to Hollywood to become the movie star a crooked agent said he could be. The central part of the story involves the investment strategies of Dr. Tamkin. Tommy hopes against reason that Tamkin can succeed and get him not only out of the financial pit he is in, but make him a success so he can finally be his own man. Well, a man of any kind. Some read the end of the story as Tommy finding a place for himself at last and that he will turn things around. I think this is a quite optimistic gloss on what the text actually says.
"Henderson the Rain King" is actually a lot of fun. While many have made the observation that Eugene Henderson's initials, the big gun, Africa, and hunting all betoken a satire of Hemingway, the writing is nothing like his. There is no doubt that Bellow is poking fun at a great many schools of then modern writing, but he is also dealing with the same kinds of themes teased out in "Seize the Day", but in comic form and drawn on a much larger canvas.
Henderson is a huge and physically imposing middle-aged man who is quite wealthy. However, he didn't earn the money, nor was he supposed to get it by inheritance. His father didn't have much use for him, but the favored son died and so the $3 million went to Eugene when dear old Dad died. Henderson was also quite unsuccessful in love, though he did have some adventures along those lines. He can never settle on anything because of the inner voice that cries out "I want, I want, I want". He is able to still the voice for a time with each new thing he tries, whether it is pig farming, playing the violin, painting, taking on a new lover, or adventuring in Africa.
It is this adventuring in Africa that provides the central adventures of the story and the title of the book. It is so much fun that I have to leave it for you to read and enjoy. It isn't all comic, though there are some serious, and some tender moments. The ending does leave the door open for hope that Henderson has found a way to quiet that voice at last. However, it is also possible to read it as another temporary respite and that Eugene will need to find another distraction to throw himself into in order to find another spot of peace.
"Herzog" is unquestionably a masterpiece. This book seems to be the fulfillment of Bellow's desire for "an American novel that might more optimistically search for the `sealed treasure' of ordinary life" [from the entry for 1960 of the chronology provided in this edition]. The actual story of the book occupies only a few days in the life of Moses Elkanah Herzog. Don't you think that name is significant? Is he Moses the lawgiver? Hardly. What about the liberator - the one drawn forth in the reed basket or the one who draws his people out of slavery from Egypt to the Promised Land? Or is Bellow using ironically? What about the contrast between the English - American Moses verses the Yiddish - Hebrew Moshe that we hear him called by his stepmother? Which is he, really? Is he both the assimilated American still rooted in his childhood Yiddish? The middle name, Elkanah, means "God created" and refers to several different Levites (priestly class) in the Bible. Might this be a reference to his being a professor? A Ph.D.? The idea that the modern priests are the professors and educated elite? Again, there would be a certain sense of irony here, because Moses has quit his job, and a great deal of the book is him rejecting and commenting on the whole range of modern thought (as it was in the early 1960s).
Herzog is worn out. And very much like Tommy Wilhelm and Eugene Henderson, he suffers from a kind of impotence of the soul. His promiscuity is actually evidence of the sickness in his soul rather than a sign of robustness. He has former wife and son he threw over for a beautiful younger model, but she threw him over and cuckolded him with his "best friend" and took the daughter they had away to Chicago. It is obvious that Herzog wants her as a kind of possession and how that beauty makes him feel about himself. But it is a story that is richly played out in this large novel. Along the way, Herzog also had a longish relationship with a Japanese woman who was devoted to him, but he threw her away, too. At the time of the novel, he is involved with a strong woman named Ramona, and one of the results of her strength, which he needs and loves, is to run away from her to visit some friends. Immediately after arriving at his friends' home, he flees them, as well.
The story is famous for his impotent letter writing to historical figures, world authorities, friends, enemies, doctors, shrinks, and many other folks. But he rarely sends any of them. He does send a telegram to Ramona towards the end of the novel.
This is an amazingly detailed work that achieves a great deal in revealing the inner life of its protagonist. It was a best seller in its day and won the national book award. It is hard for me to believe that a great many of those who bought it read it from cover to cover. Maybe I am wrong. The topics of divorce, sexual affairs, cuckoldry, and madness were much more taboo than it would soon become. Maybe it was those subjects that caught the imagination of the public. However, there is nothing sensational or erotic in this work of art. That would be left to the pulp novelists such as Jacqueline Susann and an army of others beginning a few years later.
I do want to share one contrary thought that kept coming back to me as I read these novels. To these post-this and post-post-that sophisticates for whom all belief is provincial and even childish and for whom their sexual desires and phantasies become their gods and all important self-definition. Look at the wreckage of your lives, the lost wives, husbands, and children. Look at the lack of lasting happiness. Notice the need for pharmacological assistance to fight depression. Might I suggest something? Make your family the center of your life and give up the sexual fantasies and dalliances. Keep your children close and set aside the things that detract from these foundational values. Oh, I know this sounds so hick and, worst of all, center-of-the-country values. But it really isn't that. It is a form of happiness that actually works. Maybe it doesn't make for interesting novels, plays, movies, or TV shows, but those matter nothing at all. Keep your first wife or your first husband, (after you chose each other carefully - not for narcissistic reasons) and both focus on each other and your kids. Life will actually be better, and you will need a lot less legal and chemical help. Really.
All three of these novels are quite memorable. Bellow's importance has been recognized as has the quality of his work. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature and was also given many other awards throughout his life. "Seize the Day" was made into a movie starring Robin Williams in 1986, but I can't find it in print anywhere. One of the things I do wonder about is having twenty-year-old college students read these works. It isn't that they can't read them, of course they can. However, it is hard for me to see how they can relate to these middle aged folks without having lived more and experienced more of the vagaries of real life.
This is a fine edition from the Library of America with a great chronology of Bellow's life and some notes on the text.
The best of Bellow in one great volume .......2007-02-04
This remarkable volume contains what are in my opinion the three best novels of Bellow. One is the remarkable short novel, 'Seize the Day' the second is his African adventure the wildly comic 'Henderson' the third , his arguably best book, 'Herzog'. Herzog is his great meditation on history and civlization as he traces five - days in the life of Moses Herzog, a former university teacher, a historian, who is struggling to survive in the wake of his divorce from his second wife. In the course of this work Herzog writes letters to the living and the dead, including the famous dead a feature which gives special life to the book. In 'Seize the Day' the upper West Side of New York is the scene of the hero, Tommy Wilhelm's loss of a hold on his own life. As he pleads for money with his successful patronizing father Dr. Adler he falls into the clutches of the charlatan- wiseman Temkin and blows his last seven- hundred dollars on a speculative venture Temkin has recommended. The pathos of this tale of money- machine- murder of the soul- is great. It is a masterpiece of concise comic description and deep insight into the human heart. The final funeral scene is a truly great one.
These novels are among the finest twentieth- century American Literature has given us.
'Library of America' has done a service by putting them together in one most attractive volume.

Brilliant Jewish anti hero in a cannibalistic financial world.......2007-03-20
An interesting film adapted from Saul Bellow, the famous Nobel Prize winner. Here the character, a middle-age Jewish man, is accumulating all kinds of difficulties: he is fired, he is separated from his wife who hassles him for money, he is rejected financially and emotionally by his own father, he is fooled by a fake finance wizard who practically robs him of his money, and I should say etc and so on. The character is perfectly hysterical in an absolutely paranoid direction and we can see him going down little by little and it all ends up on a total dead end blind alley impasse. In other words a perfect loser in the Jewish culture who ends up crying on his own fate in the funeral of some other guy he does not know at all among people who don't know him nor he them. That is pure Saul Bellow who dedicated his whole writing career to such losers and total misfits in the world of making money not only to survive, not even to live, but to exist. In other words he is self immolating himself at the social stake of financial failure. Brilliant.

Williams the actor.......2007-01-12
I know it sounds sacreligious, but I've never thought Robin Williams was funny and the harder he tries to be funny the more unfunny I find him. I was really impressed therefore, the first time I saw him in a dramatic performance a few years ago and it was Seize the Day. I had no idea that he had such talent. He communicates everything that there is to be felt in the story by the strength of his performance.
Very good.......2006-11-19
This thin novel is a joy to read because it is a bright study of a man who is vaguely tortured by his own circumstances of the "now." The past haunts him. The future terrifies him. There is no wiggle room for this sorry fellow because the whole of the book takes place in one day's time. I could not help but see it as an ingenious story that dwelled insistently on the strength of palpable context and bare emotion.
Pathetic Tendency Made Funny.......2006-06-03
A middle-aged man at his wit's end; his past, present, and future seem bleak. Mr. Bellow wrote with ease and humor about such a man. Although the character is in his forties and has barely jumped over one hurdle after another throughout his whole life due to his own naivety, he continues to make more mistakes than ever. The story takes place only in one day. In about 115 pages the reader finds out what makes the man he is. It is also up to the reader to conclude Mr. Bellow's account of this man. Mr. Bellow's writing was fluent where he detailed each appearance and action thoroughly with a very good sense of humor. It is a fast and interesting read.
And then he snapped.......2005-03-13
Very faithful adaptation of Saul Bellow's novel, with Robin Williams in the lead role as Tommy Wilhelm, a 40-year-old man down and out on his luck and howling at the world because of it. Williams lets out all the stops and creates a harrowing and harried character who loses all hope. A powerful picture.

Should be entitled: Caveat Emptor or Hic Nihil.......1999-06-15
This is an attractive "point-of-sale," impulse item sort of a book that has you wondering "what was I thinking about when I bought this?" There is no theme around which the selected phrases are chosen. No gender or occassion. No inspirational or historical or career-oriented construct. It's just a bunch of the Latin "usual suspects" printed with a nice-enough graphic. No source documentation. No attributions. Just a drawing of the sun and the words, "Carpe Diem." It would more appropriately show a watercolor drawing of a pick-pocket and the pharse, "Caveat Emptor."
It would be a great gift item, but I cannot imagine to whom one would gift it.

Bonhoeffer For Dummies.......2006-07-05
If anyone is not familiar with Dietrich Bonhoeffer's writings, this little sample, along with the emphases by Charles Ringma, would make a nice introduction. There is, by far, more of Ringma than there is of Bonhoeffer, but his elaborations are thought-provoking and insightful. Especially helpful is the concluding thought summary which provides food for reflection throughout the day.
Daily Bonhoeffer - WHat more could you ask for?.......2004-12-09
This liitle book has been with me since the first day I bought it and I haven't missed many days since.
This book continues to amaze me in the very solid insights it instills day by day. One should be warned: these are not from your typical close minded point of view, but rather a honest down to earth interpretation of Bonhoeffer at his best. Dr. Ringma's application to daily life is very insightful and the short 'prayer and thought of the day' usally drive the point home.
Any one whom as even slightly raised an eyebrow at the thought of Bonhoeffer will cherish this tiny book.
Cheers!
