Moonshadow was born in an intergalactic zoo, the offspring of a drug-addled, Brooklyn-born hippie who calls herself "Sunflower" and a "grinning ball of light," an alien creature who may or may not be entirely capricious (read: absent father extraordinaire). This is probably one of the weirdest books I've ever read. All thoughts are my own and in no way influenced by the aforementioned. Received a review copy from Dark Horse and Edelweiss. Originally released in the mid 1980's by Epic Comics, then re-released in the Compleat version a decade later by Vertigo, now collected all together once again by Dark Horse. The story here just isn't very interesting, but it is worth flipping through the book for the art. It's not graphic visually, but the prose can be. Moonshadow does have a furry sidekick who is obsessed with sex. As the book labored on over it's 500+ page run, I found myself getting more and more perturbed with Moonshadow's pacivity as he continually just lets these awful people do horrific things to him. The comic is told as Moonshadow's memoirs and is more illustrated novel than a comic. Told allegorically with planet-sized malls called GimmeGimme, each issue focuses on a different subject as Moonshadow comes of age, consumerism, death, war, sex, etc. However, it's more of a Dickensian tale set in outer space. Moonshadow is billed as a fairy tale for adults. Plus in a way I got to relive the series again, which I absolutely loved. This special paperback bind-up contains The Fury and Dark Reunion, the third and. The plot, especially of book 4, is absolutely ludicrous but I could not care less because it was just such a fun read. The Vampire Diaries 3-4, Livre de poche (Cartonn, Poche), Smith, L J. Finally!

Being able to compel people sounds like the best thing in the world. Of all the supernatural beings I think vampires are by far the coolest. While they are all very different, what unites these five novels, apart from their being shortlisted for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in the mystery/thriller category, is that they are unafraid to explore difficult topics with diverse characters, unencumbered by expectations from readers about genre or the darkest corners of our culture. Women in Los Angeles’ West Adams neighborhood live in the shadow of a serial killer. A child abduction in Seattle reveals fissures in a marriage that could turn fatal.

The Book Prize Mystery/Thriller finalists roundtable It is the story of Americans in the ranks, men of every shape, size, and color, farmers, schoolteachers, shoemakers, no-accounts, and mere boys turned soldiers. In this masterful book, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence-when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper.īased on extensive research in both American and British archives, 1776 is a powerful drama written with extraordinary narrative vitality. Description America's beloved and distinguished historian presents, in a book of breathtaking excitement, drama, and narrative force, the stirring story of the year of our nation's birth, 1776, interweaving, on both sides of the Atlantic, the actions and decisions that led Great Britain to undertake a war against her rebellious colonial subjects and that placed America's survival in the hands of George Washington. Exploring the works of some of historys most important thinkers in the context of the everyday struggles of his students, he guides us through the most vexing quandaries of our existenceand shows just how enriching the examined life can be. In The Deepest Human Life he takes philosophy back from the specialists and restores it to its proper place at the center of our humanity, rediscovering it as our most profound effort toward understanding, as a way of life that anyone can live. Scott Samuelson thinks this is tragic, for our lives as well as for philosophy. We leave philosophical matters to the philosophers in the same way that we leave science to scientists. Sometimes it seems like you need a PhD just to open a book of philosophy. Henry is drawn to Tristan’s easy country charm, dry English wit, and everything that is so different from Henry’s world. Henry Livingston has always been the odd duck, the black sheep, the baker in an old money family where pedigree is everything and quirky personalities are hidden behind dry martinis and thick upper east side townhouse facades. The baker invites him in, and some time during that night Tristan realizes it’s the first time he’s really smiled in months. One night when he’s feeling really low, he wanders by a beautiful little bakery with the lights still on. He spends a lot of time working late at night, eating and sleeping alone, and even more time meandering around his neighborhood staring into the darkened windows of shops. Tristan Green left his small English town for Manhattan and a job at a high profile ad agency, but can’t seem to find his bearings. I treat cosmopolitanism as a deliberately chosen state and a laborious search for a new sense of home and identity in the multiplicity of texts. I argue that the unease with the status of bilingual writing derives largely from the Romantic model of mapping language to a nation. Existing literary and social practices inform and develop the notion theoretically and practically and illuminate new dimensions of cosmopolitanism as a constant and deep engagement with the other. I posit that sustained practice of bilingual writing charts a special space on the maps of national and world literature and presents an important dimension of emergent cosmopolitanism. It investigates why and to what effect language is appropriated by individual authors in different historical situations, and how a body of work produced by the same author in two languages articulates the relationship between the nation and the world. This dissertation addresses the phenomenon of literary bilingualism in the late 20th – early 21st centuries.

CLEVELAND, Texas (AP) - A four-day manhunt in Texas for a gunman accused of killing five neighbors ended Tuesday not far from the site of the shooting when authorities, acting on a tip, said they found the suspect hiding underneath a pile of laundry in the closet of a house.įrancisco Oropeza, 38, was captured without incident near Houston and about 20 miles (32 kilometers) from his home in the rural town of Cleveland, where authorities say he went next door and shot his neighbors with an AR-style rifle after some of them had asked him to stop firing rounds in his yard because it was keeping a baby awake. However, it is a well-kept secret that some great scientists also calculated creation dates very close to Ussher’s. Ussher’s creation date has become a figure of fun. In this, he calculated the date of creation at 23 October 4004 BC, and this is what he is best known for today. In 16 he published his magnum opus, The Annals of the World, 1 a 1,300-page tome in Latin on a history of the world covering every major event from the time of Creation to AD 70. He was also a noted historian and Hebrew scholar, highly regarded throughout Britain, both by kings and revolutionaries. James Ussher (1581–1656) was Archbishop of Armagh, the highest position in the Irish Anglican Church, a product of the Reformation in England.
