![]() I haven’t read it since the last time I taught the play. This volume landed in my home bookcase in June of 2016. ![]() It has great memory work passages (former students: you can thank my high school English teacher for asking us to memorize Shakespearean passages – I figured if I did it, you could do it, too – lol) and some really creative plot twists. It’s shorter than both “Hamlet” and “Romeo and Juliet”, there’s lots of action, and its storyline is, I think, easier to follow. “Macbeth” is my favourite, for a variety of reasons. At that time, and regardless of the school you were in, you could count on three Shakespearean plays being in the book room: “Macbeth”, “Hamlet” and “Romeo and Juliet.” And forty years ago, there was much more emphasis on introducing students to Shakespeare. I will freely admit it wasn’t my best offering as a teacher at the beginning of my career. In the classroom, I chose the Scottish play as my “here’s your introduction to Shakespeare” play. Many of you may be thinking that’s where it belonged in the first place. ![]() ![]() Chuck the damned thing in the burning barrel. But why is she hanging onto it? She retired.

I'm still mulling over my thoughts on this one, but it's a strong recommend. In addition to being intimate, this chapbook does some fascinating stuff with moving from the Turing Test (machines passing for human) to the "Kyoko Assessment," so named for the Asian cyborg in Ex Machina who, unlike the white-coded, female-coded cyborg, is rendered mute to preserve company secrets. As a double fan of Donna Haraway and cyborgs, and as someone who has been thinking about gender/race and depictions of fetishized female, Asian cyborgs in films like Ex Machina and shows like Humans, I was doubly and triply enthralled when reading. I love Franny Choi's work, so I was excited to pick up this chapbook from Sibling Rivalry Press.

Her patient's bizarre visions and nervous terror seem unfounded, but as the oppressive tension in the air thickens, events come to a terrible climax - in murder.

Sprague de Camp (Howard's flame holder) to bring together Conan's short tales in something resembling chronological order, was a real treat: a return to my teenage years of sword and sorcery roll playing, pulp comic book madness, and pubescent wish fulfillment that everything could be answered with a strong fist, righteous violence and that women would swoon for the man who could deliver those things.

Howard had a fiercely creative mind and a burning work ethic that enabled him to crank out some of the most amazing pulp heroes and anti-heroes, including Kull, El Borak, Solomon Kane, the humorous Breckinridge Ellis, and, of course, Conan before taking his own life at thirty years old. I struggled with my star rating for Conan because, despite any mitigating factors, I really love the character of Conan, particularly in the hands of his progenitor, Robert E. ![]() 6/10/2023 0 Comments Woodward book rage![]() ![]() ![]() Woodward is adept at getting people to trust him and talk on the record, including Trump himself. Judging Rage on its own terms, the book is an important contribution to documenting the Trump presidency. Rage provides additional firsthand evidence that since taking office Trump has posed a 'clear and present danger' to the people of the United States and beyond. According to audio recordings from some of veteran journalist Bob Woodward's interviews with President Trump for his new book 'Rage,' Trump went into detail on Feb. Woodward, a daily newspaper reporter at heart, moves from one story to the next, spending little or no time offering any incisive analysis of these enablers. Woodward offers no analysis here, so readers are left to dwell on the tragedy of it all. 'Even people who believe in him somehow believe in him without believing what he says.' That is the baffling reality of Trump’s presidency. ![]() The willful blindness from which each suffered in accepting Trump’s appointments, and their failure to blow the whistle once they witnessed firsthand the damage Trump was causing our country, entitles each to his own chapter when Profiles in Complicity is written. These are painful chapters to read that will elicit rage in many readers. despite his 49 years reporting on Washington politics, 19 previous books, and two Pulitzer Prizes, Woodward comes off.as surprisingly naïve.

For years, they’ve been in hiding from her father, who killed her older sister Amanda. Kayla lives with her mother, Moonbeam, in Santa Barbara. She uses little things like a razor blade, thread, gum, a ball of tinfoil, and a dull fishing hook, and she uses them cleverly to take jewels and money from the upscale shops on State Street in Santa Barbara, California, in such a way that no one notices. And what she chooses to do with it is steal. What would you do if you had the power of telekinesis – able to make things move using only the power of your mind? Kayla has that power, at least for very small things. Sarah Beth Durst does it again! She manages to make her paranormal novels distinctive and loaded with magic, and unlike anything that’s gone before. 2014 Sonderbooks Standout: #7 Teen Fiction ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() OL5096520W Page_number_confidence 93.21 Pages 326 Partner Innodata Pdf_module_version 0.0.17 Ppi 360 Rcs_key 24143 Republisher_date 20211216080456 Republisher_operator Republisher_time 237 Scandate 20211214150841 Scanner Scanningcenter cebu Scribe3_search_catalog isbn Scribe3_search_id 0917479084 Tts_version 4.

If a mother does not express love for her child in ways that are familiar or expected, many assume that something is wrong with the mother. Humans, however, with their complex brains and complex societies, cannot divorce this imperative from the social conditioning they receive from television, movies, commercials, and their own parents. ![]() To some extent, motherhood is a biological and evolutionary imperative, as newborns across the animal kingdom cannot survive without a mother’s support.
