Luncheonette: A Memoir

Customer Reviews:

A nice surprise.......2007-06-27

This is not the most "poignant" book I have ever read (although I must admit I really hate that word) but I definitely enjoyed it and will remember the characters long after I move onto the next book. What I liked most was that Steven is so honest and open about the fact that he spent quite a long time knowing full well that he needed to get himself out of a hopeless situation and yet he just could not bring himself to act. Meanwhile his father is dealt obstacle after obstacle and never once lets anything slow him down. I think all of us can relate to being in the place where Steven gets stuck and it is rare for that place to be described so truthfully. I liked that in the end Steven does get out, but there's no big loud finale with him finally taking a chance and making it on Broadway-- he just pulls himself up by the bootstraps and finds new ways to love his life wherever it takes him. Like father like son.

Worth Your Time.......2006-08-25

ncheonette is first and foremost a memoir - the life of young Steven and the ways in which he deals with his father's failing health, which precipitates a major shift in Steven's life. The story is told with great humor and vividness, bringing us into the life of an Italian family in suburban New Jersey.

But more than a story of place, this is a story of coming to terms with what life brings us. To paraphrase an old phrase, if you are dealt lemons, then make lemonade. As Luncheonette so adeptly points out, this is easy to do in theory, but a lot more difficult to do in practice. Steven was lucky in that he had a great role model in his father, but even with this guidance, the road is not an easy one.

Luncheonette is a quick read, one that you will not want to put down once you have started it. It is not a deep book, but its message is very important and relevant to each of us as we face life's changes and challenges.

A solid read.......2005-08-16

This is a lovely little book about a guy named Steven (semi-autobiographical, apparently). When his father becomes ill, Steven's New York theater career is cut short when he moves back to New Jersey to run his the family diner.

Year after year of being the dutiful son (as his father has one health problem after another) eventually take their toll on Steven's self-worth. We see the contrast of Steven's inner sickness and his father's outer illnesses. From his father, Steven eventually learns important lessons about survival, and even happiness, in the face of hardship and loss.

One of the better books I've read in a while.

A personal memoir, though cliche and boring.......2005-07-08

While Steven Sorrentino writes a personal memoir of the relationship between his luncheonette and his father (the metaphor repeatedly slaps the reader in the face), the reader is busy waiting for something to "happen." The Sorrentino memoir seems more of a posthumous personal documentation of a father-son relationship than a novel for the mass market. Nothing truly happens, and the cliche and stereotypical characters become tedious to read. Can we watch the Soprano's for this form of regionalism? Would have been more effective if the author was not trying to expand the metaphor of the luncheonette to mirror the relationship between father and son. It seems a tiresome stretch; nevertheless, if Sorrentino feels compelled and pleased with a journal-like memory of his father, good for him.

This book makes me happy.......2005-02-25

Stephen is a great writer. He speaks in an effortletss voice that is filled with humor and love. This is a great father/son story. I honestly have been unable to put it down. Write more, Stephen! Write more!

Nile Kinnick--a true student athlete.......2004-09-05

Nile C. Kinnick played halfback at the University of Iowa and won the Heisman Trophy in 1939. He was also senior class president, a brilliant economics student, and later, a WWII Navy pilot. Paul Baender has compiled Kinnick's diary and selected letters in the life of this extraordinary man.

The first half of the book contains letters of Kinnick from his college days onward up through his Navy service. Baender does his best to provide explanations and historical context either before or after each letter. The book's second half contains Kinnick's diary, followed by Baender's explanations at the end. My only complaint is that Baender would have provided some sort of conclusive end to the book.

It is fascinating to read such wonderful prose from Kinnick's letters and diary. College life and the game of football has certainly changed since 1939, but Kinnick's hopes, dreams and struggles are the same as we feel today. He was not perfect, but I find it remarkable that Kinnick, a country boy from Iowa born long ago, recognized racial inequality in his domestic travels.

Nile Clark Kinnick was killed in on a flight training mission during WWII, one of thousands of U.S. casualties. The act of reading this compilation of Kinnick's writings has helped me see the personal courage, honor, and integrity with which thousands of veterans have served, and has helped illustrate the weight of the struggle in which we were engaged. If you want to read about a great man, pick up this book.

excellent guide.......2007-09-11

This is an excellent book for learning how to use Excel. It uses a key system with shapes, numbers and colour-coding. There are coloured pictures for most of the steps mentioned.

This book is very easy to follow. It's much simpler to use than many others which tell you what to do (often fairly long-windedly and with unnecessary details) rather than showing you.

The Author is Brillant.......2003-09-27

Despite how concise this book is, I am quite pleased with how the author explains and break down the meaning of the different European holidays. Celerbrating European holidays divides us because by celebrating them we are acknowledging the fact that slavery and genocide is okay.

One of my favorite chapters is chapter 4, titled JOURNEY THROUGH TIME AND SPACE. This journey begins at 1000 A.D. and ends in 1941, where in the month of December the U.S. Congress passes a resolution, making Thanksgiving a legal Holiday.

Afrikan people we must break the grip of this European Genocide by becoming educated and telling our children the true history of our people.

It is time for all Europeans to bow down, and face the fact that the truth shall set you free. Every culture on this planet is subject to this Genocide through there books, television, school system, religion, tax system and there monetary system has us in chains. We are modern day slaves and we think we are free.

The journey continues with his other books, Vol 2 and Vol 3, which I definetly plan on making part of my library.

This Idiot's review of an Idiot's Book.......2005-07-29

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Jewish History and Culture is a must read for anyone who is even remotely interested in the Jewish culture or knows a Jewish person. This books takes you into the history and culture of Jewish people. It explores what it really means to be Jewish, why we are who we are, and how you can better understand us.

The language of the book is easy to understand which is expected of an Idiot's guide. It wouldn't be an Idiot's Guide if it requires a PhD. If a person wants to better understand the Jewish history and culture, or if a Jew wants to better understand our kistory and culture, then read this book.

I would also reccomend the other Idiot's Guides to Judaism in the series. They are all Must reads!

My rating is 4.5 triangles (out of 5).

Get your copy today and start exploring the history and culture of Judaism.

Only OK.......2005-05-28

I did not find this book to be as comprehensive as I would have liked. For instance, the only holidays he really explains are Purim, Hanukkah, and Yom Ha-Shoah. He mentions Yom Kippur only in passing; considering it is the most important Jewish holiday, I think merited much more explanation. There was no mention of Rosh Hashanah. I did find the coincidences of tragedy falling on Tisha B'Av interesting -- I definitely did not know that so many devastating events, from the destruction of both Temples to the expulsion of Jews from Spain all occurred on the same day. Rabbi Blech's notion that it is a message from God certainly seems plausible.

I was struck by the rather biased tone of the book. There are several instances in which Rabbi Blech infers he believes the Jews to be a superior people. He states twice that Jews have higher IQ's than other ethnic groups. While I'm not saying he doesn't have a point, I think it is dangerous to proclaim any group superior to another, even a group that has fought adversity (and won) since its beginnings and survived despite several attempts to exterminate them. He seems to have a somewhat anti-Christian bias, which is not something I have encountered with my co-workers or students. To be fair, most of that comes out in the chapters in which he recalls the worst acts carried out by Christians against Jews -- the Crusades, the Inquisition, expulsion from various countries. I did find some of his remarks about Jesus interesting. I wonder if it is widely accepted, for instance, that Jesus was an Essene? It wasn't something I knew.

I felt that the book was not as comprehensive as it might have been, but it is understandably hard to define the history and culture of an entire people who have survived over 5700 years. I realize the "Complete Idiot's" series is designed to be an introduction, but I can't help but feel like I ate what I thought would be a fairly decent meal that left me still hungry.

Complete Idiot's Guide to Jewish History and Culture.......2004-12-02

I found this book a very simplistic, condescending work.

Incredible Book!.......2003-10-20

As a High School student, I mostly feel I get more then enough lessons of History a week, though it does give me a chance to catch up on sleep. I picked up this book in order to help me write a Paper, and didn't stop reading it till the end even though I didn't need all of it. Written with humor and wit, this book conveys the essence of the Jewish People and enables you to look at it both objectivly and subjectively. The book gives you the reasons for every historical event and not just the sequence of events. For me, it gave history and new light, and I noticed that the reasons cited for many of the historical events actually apply today as well, though with different actions as the result. As they say, History does indeed repeat itself! Great job, Rabbi! I wish this author would share his wit and knowlage in many other subjects as he is the easiest way to learn!

Valuable Read.......2003-05-06

Rabbi Blech does a wonderful job in presenting an accurate and informative view of the history of Judaism. This book has so much information it may take you two reads to absorb it all -- but that's okay because the book is funny and amusing. You will never be bored reading this. This book is valuable to Jews wishing to learn about their history and to non-Jews wishing to gain a closer look at the history and culture of the Jewish people. This book will not disapoint.

At first glance, neuropsychologist Brian Butterworth's What Counts: How Every Brain Is Hardwired for Math might infuriate mathphobes who insist that they just can't get a handle on numbers. Could it be true that natural selection produced brains preprogrammed with multiplication tables? Read a few pages, though, and you'll see that Professor Butterworth has more than a little sympathy for the arithmetically challenged, and indeed confesses that he too has a hard time with figures. His thesis isn't that we are born doing math, but that we are born with a faculty for learning math, much like our ability to learn language. He goes on to argue that unique individual differences in this faculty combine with our educational experiences to make us either lightning calculators or klutzes who can't figure tips.

Butterworth's style is perfect for his subject, seamlessly weaving scholarly analysis with down-to-earth humor and practical examples that will satisfy the researcher and the lay reader alike. Drawing on archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, and his own neuropsychology, he makes his case like a masterful attorney while remaining careful to leave room for scientific falsification. The history of counting is engrossing and will be new to many readers, as it has been a rather arcane field until recently--but it's just one of the many new vistas opened for the readers of What Counts. --Rob Lightner

Book Description

Without numbers, modern civilization would not exist. But until now, no one has explained where numbers exist in the mind, how they got there, or how we use them. In What Counts, Brian Butterworth combines his unique expertise in cognitive neuroscience with his broad knowledge of mathematics to offer a completely original picture of how our brains do math.

Butterworth's pioneering research into the behavior and genetics of mathematical ability has led him to discover that we all possess a fundamental number sense, which he calls "numerosity." This inherent ability is even more basic to human nature than language is. Numbers do not exist inside our heads the way words do; they are a separate kind of intelligence with their own brain module. This module, located in the left parietal lobe, is where math happens.

We all know that some of us are good at math and some of us are not. But, as Butterworth shows, the reason a person falters at math is usually not because of the wrong gene or "engine part" in the left parietal lobe, but because he or she has not fully developed the sense we are all born with. The left parietal lobe is also where fingers are registered in our brain -- a fact that Butterworth demonstrates is an important clue to the evolution of our sense of numerosity -- and, interestingly, it is the reason we count on our fingers. The non-linguistic nature of math explains why cultures that have no words for numbers have still managed to develop market economies throughout history with all the counting that buying and selling require. Butterworth argues that counting is so basic a facet of our biology that, with practice, most people could become mathematical prodigies.

Butterworth illustrates his cognitive model of math with enlightening examples from the history of mathematics and its many anomalies. He shows us the numerical world of the Neanderthals, Cro-Magnons, and Stone Age peoples. He recounts the case of the Italian woman who suffered a stroke that left her unable to count beyond four, as well as the extraordinary story of zero. He describes how the great math prodigy Ramanujan emerged from a childhood of poverty and astonished the world with his brilliance. He presents surprising research demonstrating that infants can add and subtract even when they are only a few weeks old, and that people afflicted with Alzheimer's have unexpected numerical abilities.

The implications of Butterworth's advances in fundamental concepts of mathematical thinking are profound -- for our understanding of how our minds work, how we can lead our children to a deeper understanding of mathematics, and even how formal education could be better structured on the basis of what counting really is. What Counts is the first book to provide a complete picture of how and why our mathematical brain evolved and what this new knowledge means in our everyday lives. No one who reads it will ever think about math in the same way again.

save your money.......2004-02-12

What an awful book! I started with great expectations, and got steadily more disappointed and finallly just disgusted. I have never read a book on a supposedly technical subject so disjoint and disorganized. I cannot recall the author ever finishing a concept, dotting his is, or completing a promised list of topics. In many places, he makes statements such as "There are two important topics regarding.......and he gives you number one, but try and find number two. And so on throughout the book. In the middle of a technical topic, he will wander off onto pages and pages of interesting examples of ????what ? I could not figure out. Save your time and energy and money. This is an awful book.

A Challenge to a Popular Myth.......2000-06-09

"What Counts" is a necessary rebuttal to the idea of mathematical giftedness or genius in general which pervades our culture and manifests itself in Hollywood movies like "Good Will Hunting" and, more tragically, in our system of education. The author confronts both of these issues in detail.

For example, on Hollywood's prodigy Will Hunting he challenges anyone to come up with a real life example of this character which would be a counter example to his premise which states that higher mathematical learning/ability is a result of zeal, hard work (10 years for truly great achievements), and exposure to the necessary culture, i.e. teachers and books.

As Butterworth explains, Will Hunting seemingly has no zeal for anything but girls and spends most of his time in bars yet he knows all about and comprehends arcane mathematical concepts and myriad other subjects.

Mathematicians may like to hang on to the idea of their own giftedness for the sake of their egos and most people who see "Good Will Hunting" think the character is believable so this book is a definite challenge to a popular myth.

Except for the chapters dealing strictly with mathematics which are not necessary (and hence the lack of 5 stars) this book may inspire people to work hard instead of making excuses.

Look for more on this subject from author/mathematician Keith Devlin with his book (coming out in August) "The Math Gene: Why Everybody Has It, but Most People Don't Use It."

Interesting but flawed.......1999-09-23

I'm going to assume anyone reading this has already read the other reviews in amazon.com. This leaves me free to comment on problems with the book rather than provide a synopsis.

The first two sentences in the preface to "What Counts" explain the basic fact, I am not particularly good at maths or calculation."

Butterworth proves this often enough for it to be a very good reason why he shouldn't have written of flaws, only someone who has no feel for mathematics could write a book containing many typos of the form a^2 + b^2 = (a - b)(a + b).

o He's discovered a new and amazing correspondence with any subset that is neither the whole set nor the empty set." Imagine, there's a one-to-one correspondence between the integers and the set {0,1}. Well, no there isn't.

o He's made the equally exciting discovery that the rationals between 0 and 1 are uncountable. It is revealed on page 339 that the points on the real line are uncountable "because there is points." Since the argument applies to the rationals, they too must be uncountable. Sigh.

Here are some specifics to illustrate other problems in "What Counts".

o The discussion of cognitive archaeology is highly speculative and frequently unconvincing. For example, he speculates that counting lunar phases is important to women so they'll know when their baby is due. This isn't of value without a citation of "primitive" peoples who do this.

o Butterworth seems to believe that math is the same as arithmetic, though of course he does know better. The book is almost exclusively about our "natural ability" to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. Geometry, the other "basic" mathematics, is almost completely ignored. The omission is a major deficiency.

o He also has a very strong opinion that there is no such thing as a mathematical gift. Rather, it's a manifestation of interest, good teaching, and hard work. The argument is made quite intensely, but not convincingly, and probably would almost universally be disputed by mathematicians (which doesn't prove it wrong, of course). What is convincing and should have been the point of the discussion is that we could be doing a much, much better job of teaching mathematics. (The previous reviewer has correctly pointed out the value of Butterworth's critique.)

o The appendix contains a less-than-satisfying discussion of Godel's Incompleteness Theorem, which has no apparent purpose other than to dazzle and confuse the naive reader.

There's quite a bit more that's objectionable, but the point should have been made adequately with this list.

On the other hand, the quote from Oliver Sacks on the dust jacket about how the book "solicits the reader's own thoughts" is correct. I came away from the book with ideas for dozens of experiments and possible research areas. Of course, since my background is mathematics and not a cognitive neuropsychology, I can't comment the non-mathematical assertions but can only hope them to be accurate.

The book is valuable as it has nuggets of great interest and the subject matter is fascinating. There aren't many popular books covering this material, so I'm giving it 3 stars. Good editing and minor collaboration with someone who is "good at maths" could turn it into a 5 star book

Simply outstanding... Could revolutionize math learning.......1999-08-06

In this highly readable book, Prof. Brian Butterworth (a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of London) argues persuasively for a new comprehension of the development and exercise of mathematical ability. Proponent of a separate center for mathematical intelligence, Butterworth nevertheless argues that the existence of a biological 'numerical center' means that nearly everyone has the capacity to become highly proficient at mathematics and mathematical thinking. Especially interesting to me was his demonstration of the futility of rote learning--and his trenchant dissection of the educational causes of most people's mathematical anxieties and related math difficulties... I've read widely on this topic, and have heretofore remained unenlightened. In addition to advancing a new basis for the way we must view math skills and teach them, Butterworth writes cogently and compellingly, adducing powerful evidence for his findings from provocative new research. This is an optimistic book. It makes clear that, Hollywood be damned, Will Hunting lives in all of us.
