Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass My rating: 4 of 5 stars This isn’t exactly a fun read. It’s not something that will lift your spirits and put you in a fabulous, animated mood. Instead, it’s heavy, it’s grave, it’s heart-wrenching, it’s fascinating, and it’s compelling to the end. The writing [...]

Bravo for the Marshallese: Regaining Control in a Post-Nuclear, Post-Colonial World by Holly M. Barker My rating: 3 of 5 stars This was certainly a compelling read, and quite difficult to get through at times. It is written by a young Peace Corp volunteer that lived in the Marshall Islands with her host family and [...]

The Scarlet Pimpernel by Emmuska Orczy My rating: 5 of 5 stars :-| This. Book. Is. Legendary. There aren’t enough words to do it justice. It’s a fast-paced, swash-buckling tale of a young English nobleman and his gang of daring friends that rescue French aristocrats and their families that have been doomed to the guillotine [...]
Dave Barry Slept Here, and Huma Rashid Spewed Coke Out Her Nose Over There

Dave Barry Slept Here: A Sort of History of the United States by Dave Barry My rating: 5 of 5 stars I absolutely adore this book. In the summer before 11th grade, my AP US History teacher sent home a biiiiig packet full of summer reading that we were going to be tested on every [...]

Welp, we made it to the end of the meme. I’m glad so many of you did this, and linked me to your entries. I had (and am having) a great time getting to know all of you better! I learned things about some of you that I never could have imagined. GROUP HUG. And [...]
Ten Days of Huma Rashid: 2 Songs
Posted in Coffee, Tea, Me on February 10, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Just two?! No way! I love music. This isn’t fair. I love using things other people have created to express my own individuality. :( So sad. But whatever. I flipped to my “Favorites” playlist on my iTouch and picked the first two songs that came up in Shuffle. Because that was the only way to [...]
Ten Days of Huma Rashid: 3 Films
Posted in Coffee, Tea, Me on February 9, 2011 | 7 Comments »
Ooh, we’re closing in on the last of it. Today’s three films, and it sucks that there are only three, because there are so many movies that I just absolutely love. But here are three of them, in no particular order. 3 Films: The Departed – Fantastic movie. Just…fantastic. The Lion King – OMG IT [...]
Ten Days of Huma Rashid: 4 Books
Posted in Coffee, Tea, Me on February 8, 2011 | 11 Comments »
Now this is one I can get behind. I love books. I love them so much. I read mostly classics, but occasionally I’ll read something contemporary. I love reading books in hardcover, paperback, or ebook form. It doesn’t matter. I just love them all. I hate Barnes & Noble, though, because they still advertise with [...]
Ten Days of Huma Rashid: 5 Foods
Posted in Coffee, Tea, Me on February 7, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Oh, God, I love food so much. My mother and grandmother think I’m anorexic. That can only mean they have no idea what ‘anorexic’ means. Also, it makes me really angry that they trivialize a serious psychological disorder by saying that just because they rarely see me eating I’m anorexic. I’m not sure how they [...]
Ten Days of Huma Rashid: 6 Places
Posted in Coffee, Tea, Me on February 6, 2011 | 9 Comments »
Only six? I can only list six places in the world that I want to go to? Ugh, that’s just not fair! It’s such a big, beautiful, fascinating world, and we only get six places. How. Rude. But, whatever. If we must, we must, in the wise words of Mary Poppins. So let’s get to [...]
