Book review of march by geraldine brooks5/11/2023 ![]() The harsh reality of war, death and despair that he sees every day eats away at his idealism, and every evening he struggles to present things positively when he writes to Marmee and the March girls. ![]() Mr March is a passionate abolitionist, a pacifist, and a vegetarian. March is his account of what he saw in the war and how this changed him – as well as an account, told through flashbacks, of his early years with Marmee, of how he lost his fortune, and of what lead to his decision to join the war. In Louisa May Alcott’s novel, we’re told that the girls’ father is serving as a chaplain in the Civil War. It’s not so much a retelling of Little Women as it is a book that exists around it, in its gaps and silences. Geraldine Brooks’ March tells the story of Mr March, he of Jo, Amy, Beth and Meg fame. ![]() Six of crows author5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() If you're not careful, it'll steal all your time." -The New York Times Book Review Praise for the Grishaverse "A master of fantasy." -The Huffington Post "Utterly, extremely bewitching." -The Guardian "The best magic universe since Harry Potter." -Bustle "This is what fantasy is for." -The New York Times Book Review " A] world that feels real enough to have its own passport stamp." -NPR "The darker it gets for the good guys, the better." -Entertainment Weekly "Sultry, sweeping and picturesque.

However, the thrill of the unknown excites them, growing their new hobby into something akin to praying at the altar of a roadside funhouse. Each time the hole spits them back out, augmented in ways neither is prepared to see or understand. ![]() They test its boundaries, tossing in various objects: a jar of insects, a mouse, a severed hand, a camcorder. Could it be a black hole, an orifice, a fissure, or maybe even a portal? It has many names but only one sticks: The Funhole. Tucked away in the second-floor storage room is a hole that confounds and fascinates their creative acumen. ![]() But that would all change when they discover a secret hidden within Nick’s rundown apartment building. And Nakota serves as a barmaid at Club 22, doling out drinks to career alcoholics. Nick wastes his time in the role of assistant manager, longing for the day when his haikus can generate a payday.

Hesiod homeric hymns5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() (For a bit more information about the historicity of Homer, you can read this article I published in July 2019.) The figure whom we call “Homer” was not a historical figure, but a legendary one. Many bards had a role in composing the epics and they have no single author. The consensus of professional classical scholars for the past century has been that the Iliad and the Odyssey were originally oral epics that were composed over the course of many years. Homer, “the greatest and most divine of poets”Īs I have noted in several previous articles on this website, it is highly unlikely that Homer was ever a real, historical individual. ![]() These poems held a revered status that is paralleled in our own culture only by the revered status of the Bible itself, but yet it would be a mistake to call the Iliad and the Odyssey “the ancient Greek Bible.” It can sometimes be difficult for modern audiences to understand the sheer importance of the Homeric Poems in ancient Greek culture. ![]() Of these poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey were the most important and influential. The Iliad, the Odyssey, Hesiod’s Theogony and Works and Days, and the Homeric Hymns formed the foundation for all of ancient Greek literature and they were the basis for a large swathe of ancient Greek culture. ![]() Penny kingdom of the blind5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() The investigation into what happened six months ago - the events that led to his suspension - has dragged on, into the dead of winter.

But what if, Gamache begins to ask himself, she was perfectly sane? The will is so odd and includes bequests that are so wildly unlikely that Gamache and the others suspect the woman must have been delusional. ![]() None of them had ever met the elderly woman. ![]() Still on suspension, and frankly curious, Gamache accepts and soon learns that the other two executors are Myrna Landers, the bookseller from Three Pines, and a young builder. When a peculiar letter arrives inviting Armand Gamache to an abandoned farmhouse, the former head of the Sûreté du Québec discovers that a complete stranger has named him one of the executors of her will. ![]() Mad Boys by Heather Long5/9/2023 ![]() While moving with the story all the characters have done fabulous growth and interactions.
