![]() ![]() (YA) Jumpstart the World by Catherine Ryan Hyde.(YA) Pantomime and Shadowplay by Laura Lam (recommended).(YA) Beautiful Music for Ugly Children by Kritin Cronn-Mills (recommended).(YA) I Am J by Cris Beam ( recommended).Update: Now in (mostly) alphabetical order! Transgender (Note: most links go to Amazon, so you can read the description and reviews.) If you have a suggestion, please add it to the comments. Here’s the list of books read so far, or on the radar. ![]() ![]() Yes, I am an addict, and YA Queer literature is my drug. Being the curious cat (or mouse) that I am, my mind has ingested its fair share of books, ranging from theories of cultural evolutionary psychology to the neuroscience behind 3D depth perception, to the complexities of P=NP and and infinite dimensional vector spaces, to troubled teens questioning their sexuality and their gender. ![]() ![]() Mercedes, and imagines them with minds of their own. King continues to be fascinated with vehicles, such as in Mr. After his accident, he wrote From a Buick 8, another story about a supernatural car. Of course, even after Maximum Overdrive was torn apart by critics and audiences alike, Stephen King's interest in supernatural vehicles continued. Although he's since sworn never to direct again, the fact that he chose to be so involved in a movie about killer vehicles is telling. Interestingly, Maximum Overdrive is the only movie adaptation of his work that he has directed himself. Maximum Overdrive is a movie about machines coming to life to kill people, particularly cars and trucks. ![]() ![]() Three years later, in 1986, Maximum Overdrive came out. King's novel, Christine, about a 1958 Plymouth Fury that is possessed by supernatural forces, was published in 1983. ![]() ![]() ![]() I wanted to make him pay for the tiny child he terrorized for years (and that kid's sister too). ![]() He retreated, and I wanted to give chase. There was a point where we both realized that if I kept fighting it would be a massacre. I had pushed back against my step-father for years, but suddenly this fight went very different. There's a chapter that at first made no sense to me called "The Hero as Emperor and as Tyrant." My problem with the chapter was that heroes aren't tyrants they slay tyrants! Shortly after reading this my drunken violent step-father got out of line with me. ![]() Here's how this book saved a soul and an ass. They are meant to be sources of inspiration that a person of flesh can turn to in order to face a harsh reality with courage. Myths were never meant to be facts and would lose their significance if they were. He also explains the importance of myths, which is something lots of people can't grasp because they can't get over the fact the stories aren't real. ![]() I have always been a fan of mythology and folklore, and Joseph Campbell pulls tales from many cultures to show how mankind has virtually the same heroic journey tucked away in its subconscious regardless of culture or even time. It saved both my step-father's ass and my soul. ![]() ![]() ![]() Once only did he attempt an historical picture, Charlotte Corday after the assassination of Marat (1861) and returned by preference to the former class of subjects or to painting portraits of illustrious men of his day: Guizot, Charles Garnier, Edmond About. Throughout this early period Baudry commonly selected mythological or fanciful subjects, one of the most noteworthy being The Pearl and the Wave (1862). His Leda, St John the Baptist, and a Portrait of Beul, exhibited at the same time, took a first prize that year. In the course of his residence in Italy Baudry derived strong inspiration from Italian art with the mannerism of Correggio, as was very evident in the two works he exhibited in the Salon of 1857, which were purchased for the Luxembourg: The Martyrdom of a Vestal Virgin and The Child. ![]() ![]() His talent from the first revealed itself as strictly academical, full of elegance and grace, but somewhat lacking originality. He won the Prix de Rome in 1850 for his picture of Zenobia found on the banks of the Araxes. He studied art under Michel Martin Drolling and enrolled in the École des Beaux-Arts in 1845. Paul-Jacques-Aimé Baudry was a French painter.īaudry was born in 1828 in La Roche-sur-Yon in the Vendée. ![]() ![]() Like at the ending I hated how bitchy she was acting when Liz came to apologize. She was just secretly bitchy sometimes to me. I honestly didn’t really like Chelsea as much as I thought I would. Honestly I had such a joy reading from her point of view because her thoughts were sometimes so funny and it was funny to read how she handled the situations. I also really liked the most characters.Liz is the awkward, smart, good-girl, girl-getting-changes-with-her-boyfriend girl. The characters seemed so realistic and relatable. There were lines where I actually snickered. ![]() ![]() Enough character developments that satisfied my event craving, and the laughs. ![]() It was so fast and got everything done and covered. So this book is just the beginning of -what i’m seeing- a great trilogy. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is written in that sweeping epic style of Feist, Eddings, McCaffrey and Jordan that will keep adults happy but with the youthful exuberance of Rowling and Rodda which the kids will love. This story is meant for upper primary students, who I know would love this (my niece can be expecting her own copy for Christmas… no she can’t have mine I want to read it again!), but also adults will enjoy this. I must admit I topped up the hot water a few times to keep on reading just one more chapter. ![]() I should know, because this reader read the whole thing in one bath sitting. ![]() Who is the wild man, how does he know what the wolves are saying, and why must Tom tell his Lord? Such action and curiosity lures the reader on and Kate Forsyth keeps the reader baited with masterful storytelling throughout the entire novel. “The wolves smell danger.”įrom the opening lines the reader is thrown straight into the action. “Tell your lord to beware,” the wild man said, gripping Tom’s arm with a dirty hand. It’s an obvious comment to make but it’s true, The Impossible Quest is impossibly good. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() On the meridian of time there is no injustice: there is only the poetry of motion creating the illusion of truth and drama. ![]() I have no money, no resources, no hopes.The novel is written in the first person, as are many of Miller's other novels, and does not have a linear organization, but rather fluctuates frequently between the past and present. Combining autobiography and fiction, some chapters follow a narrative of some kind and refer to Miller's actual friends, colleagues, and workplaces others are written as stream-of-consciousness reflections that are occasionally epiphanic. Set in France (primarily Paris) during the late 1920s and early 1930s, the novel centers on Miller's life as a struggling writer. It is widely regarded as an important masterpiece of 20th-century literature. Supreme Court declared the book non-obscene. led to obscenity trials that tested American laws on pornography in the early 1960s. It was first published in 1934 in Paris, France, but this edition was banned in the United States. Tropic of Cancer is a novel by Henry Miller, noted for its candid descriptions of sexuality. ![]() ![]() The mullet was last popular in the ‘80s and has continued to show up on the most famous of heads every once in a while. Summing it up: the question it always elicits is: it can be undeniably “fierce” and bold, but who actually has the guts to have their hair be molded into a mullet? Exactly. At the same time, it has social class roots - the kind that have made it ever controversial to on-lookers in America. The mullet has a history all its own because it has been so well embraced by glamorous singers, country stars, and rockstars since the ‘70s. Mullet-hesitant? Try a wig of this gender-defying haircut to see what it can do for you! The statement “gist” of the mullet: So gender fluid, this short-at-the-front, long-at-the-back hairdo has been the look of choice for a bevy of DJs, actors, TV presenters, models, athletes, and, yes, (giggle), your own relatives, too. Yet, when done right - think Cher or David Bowie - it can deliver a powerful statement like no other. The original mullet haircut has been striking the high chords of controversy since its inception in the early ‘70s. Rock a look of ultimate dare with the original mullet haircut. ![]() ![]() Dig into the following mullet FYIs with zeal! The original mullet haircut can be the very depiction of cool, as many-a-famous celebs have shown. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This picture book is the perfect way to introduce this classic poem to a new audience with the illustrations being wonderfully timeless in their depiction of interiors and fashions. Now Richard Johnson has brought his award-winning style to a new edition with such beautiful ‘soft focus’ style illustrations, that we could almost believe we were dreaming that we too saw St Nick, as Small and I read it for our ‘last day before Christmas’ story. It not only set in metaphorical cement the images we now hold about Santa Claus but also gave his magical reindeer names which everyone can recite off at the drop of a hat (well, can’t you?!). Originally entitled A Visit from St Nicholas, this enduring testament of love for one’s family, was first published when a friend of the Moore family heard of it from the Moore children, copied it and sent it to a publisher. It would seem likely from the account of Moore’s famous poem’s origins that he would never have imagined that, almost 200 years after writing it, that it would be arguably the best known of Christmas stories/verse. ![]() |
