Did it make you laugh or cry? What about Roy McMillan’s performance did you like? Some of the battle descriptions are quite grim, but particularly disturbing was the description of his capture and torture by Turkish troops. The way Lawrence wrote about Auda, he seemed clearly in awe of him. He is such a larger than life character, its almost difficult to believe that such an extraordinary person ever lived. I love the descriptions of Auda of the Abu Tayi and his various exploits. There are so many it is difficult to choose, and so much variation. What was one of the most memorable moments of Seven Pillars of Wisdom? This memoir has so much detail, and so much happens, and it is so full of strange sounding names of tribes and tribal leaders and places, and so much intrigue, that it is possible to thoroughly enjoy going through it once to get the big picture and then go through it again to go over the details you missed the first time and still thoroughly enjoy it the second time! Would you listen to Seven Pillars of Wisdom again? Why? ![]()

I was glad to see her expanding her horizons beyond her rut of “New Music Mondays” and “Thirst Trap Thursdays.” I wanted to give her a hug and reassure her that it’s okay if she needs a little time to find the right path. It certainly is tempting to stay in the comfort of the known as Jasmine does. I think many of us feel a little lost as we enter the world of adulthood and the workforce. It is easy to relate to Jasmine’s struggles as a recent college graduate. One day, through her friend, Linh, Jasmine is reunited with her college crush, Alex Lai, and she starts to be more hopeful. ![]() She longs to find a different job, but she isn’t quite sure what she wants to do with her life. Her parents are constantly asking her why she doesn’t have a boyfriend and are worried that she will never get married. Jasmine Tran is a recent UCLA grad living at home and working in her parents’ donut shop, Sunshine Donuts. Because of that, I knew that The Donut Trap was going to be right up my alley, and I was right. My absolute favorite genre of novel is romance that involves food and/or baking. They say you can’t judge a book by it’s cover, but I was intrigued immediately by The Donut Trap when I saw its adorable cover that features two people sitting on a pink sprinkled donut. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments Brian's winter book![]() ![]() The sense of fulfillment and self-satisfaction that floods him whenever he succeeds at something drives him almost as much as his need to survive. And what I really love about these books is that they’re not romanticized. Seeing how someone survives and adapts is always incredibly interesting to me. This follow-up “what if?” book was a lot more fun because Brian seemed so happy! He learns to hunt big game and store meat and make clothes. By this point, he’s come to terms with his new life and is actually flourishing on his own in the wild. ![]() Spoiler-alert: he survives! And with a lot less angst than was present in Hatchet. What if Brian hadn’t been rescued, and had to ride out the winter in the Canadian wilderness? Would he survive? ![]() But I was intrigued by the synopsis of Brian’s Winter. Although I have to confess, I’ll probably be reading it sooner rather than later. How did I not know this?! I skipped over The River, the first sequel, for the time being, as it seemed like a repeat of the first but with an audience. Until last month, I didn’t even realize that Hatchet had a sequel. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments Code name hélène by ariel lawhon![]() ![]() Frequent jumps in time draw out the arc of Wake’s remarkable life despite her statement early on that women’s weapons of warfare were limited to “silk stockings and red lipstick,” by the end she’s proven herself skillful at physical combat as well. After she lands, the story flashes back eight years, as Nancy struggles for respect and recognition as a journalist despite her firsthand observations of Nazi brutality in 1930s Vienna, her editor is reluctant to publish a story about what she’s seen. ![]() Lawhon throws readers into the middle of the action, as Nancy, under the alias Hélène, prepares to parachute from an RAF plane into France to help the Resistance in 1944, carrying in her head memorized lists of vital data, including bridges targeted for destruction and safe house addresses. ![]() Lawhon, who masterfully combined fact and fiction in I Was Anastasia, does so again with this gripping thriller based on the life of Nancy Wake, an Australian expat who worked as a reporter for Hearst in Paris just before WWII and later as a spy for the British. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments Laura frantz a heart adrift![]() ![]() Laura Frantz yet again has whisked me off on an adventure to the 1700s with amazing characters that I don’t want to let go of. This whimsical book finally has released me back in the present. Will a war and a cache of regrets keep them apart, or can their shared vision and dedication to the colonial cause heal the wounds of the past? Bestselling and award-winning author Laura Frantz whisks you away to a time fraught with peril–on the sea and in the heart–in this redemptive, romantic story. But when the colonial government asks him to lead a secret naval expedition against the French, his future is plunged into uncertainty. But she longs to find something worthwhile to do with her life.Ĭaptain Henri Lennox has returned to port after a lengthy absence, intent on completing the lighthouse in the dangerous Chesapeake Bay, a dream he once shared with Esmee.

Cybertext: perspectives on ergodic literature. El cómic y el videojuego conviven en una lógica de transmedialidad e intertextualidad que sumerge a los usuarios/jugadores en un mundo ficticio cuya extensión crece a medida que interactúan con sus entornos, personajes y códigos éticos, así como con las diferentes plataformas y contenidos generados por la comunidad de fans o usuarios.Īarseth, E. Tanto la saga de novelas gráficas como el videojuego se analizan desde las perspectivas de la ecología de los medios, los game studies, los fundamentos de los mundos transmediales y la estética de los nuevos medios. Además, indaga en las prestaciones específicas de los videojuegos, que amplifican la experiencia del universo de Blacksad. Este trabajo tiene como objeto estudiar la saga de novelas gráficas Blacksad (Díaz Canales y Guarnido, 2001) y el videojuego Blacksad: Under the Skin (Pendulo Studios, 2019) con el fin de arrojar luz sobre cómo la narración de las novelas gráficas se complementa con la del videojuego. La convergencia mediática y la transmedialidad han supuesto que los mundos de ficción desarrollados originalmente en las novelas gráficas tiendan an expandirse en medios más actuales como los videojuegos, donde los entornos y los personajes se vuelven jugables y los elementos de la narración se entrelazan con las mecánicas y las reglas del juego.

His creations mingle with real-life musicians and other celebrities names aren’t so much dropped as strewn across Utopia Avenue’s 550-odd pages. Mitchell has invented a band, the Utopia Avenue of the book’s title, and inserted them into the underground London and elsewhere of, roughly, 1967–9. Is he really the writer to revivify that hoary old carcass? ![]() (The song isn’t named, but it’s Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Atlantic City’.) Popular music has always been deeply woven into Mitchell’s work, and it can express ideas – here eternal recurrence, a key Mitchell theme – with a candour and clarity novels can only aspire to.īut a whole novel about about the music scene in the 60s, that most picked-over, mythologised and clichéd of decades, would seem to be a major gamble for an author whose interests – for all his abundant gifts for story-telling, character and description – have generally tended away from mainstream subjects and towards the oblique and metaphysical. ![]() In ‘The Ghastly Ordeal of Timothy Cavendish’, one of the stories that make up Cloud Atlas, David Mitchell’s best-known work, the eponymous narrator is in a taxi when he hears a song on the radio “about how everything that dies some day comes back”. ![]() 5/20/2023 0 Comments Vivek h murthy together![]() It also affects how others see them in a negative way. When workers are lonely, it takes a toll on their engagement which in turn impacts their productivity and creativity. In the workplace, there is a growing body of data from the University of Pennsylvania and Wharton School of Business that this is really common among people in the workplace. Murthy: Whenever we struggle with a problem that we can’t share, it further isolates us. I don’t want people to think something’s wrong with me because most people are not lonely.” So you’re saying part of the epidemic is that people are living lonely lives of quiet desperation and can’t admit it? ![]() Robinson: Some business people reading this interview might say, “I feel lonely, but I don’t want anybody to know. And nobody wants to feel that way about themselves. One of the reasons I never told my parents was there’s a feeling among many- and certainly it was true for me when I was young-that if you’re lonely, you’re somehow not likable. But because of the stigma associated with loneliness, there are people who struggle who don’t talk about it and have trouble admitting to themselves that they’re lonely. ![]() When most people think about loneliness they think about feelings, but they don’t recognize it’s exceedingly common. Robinson: I would imagine that the average person doesn’t understand that loneliness has a physical component to it. ![]() |
