And since Englishmen write most of them? This sets the book apart. It is rare to find such an even-handed study of Bonaparte coming from an Englishman. In the afterward (penned by Steven Englund), the bulk of the praise goes to Markham's objectivity. This is especially irksome when it comes to the battlefield, where he's fleet enough to hold interest but still manages to sail strategic troop movement and command philosophy like Frisbees over the head. He does fall prey to that habit of experts in a given field, assuming far too often that his reader is aware of the fundamentals. It is comprehensive, well-researched and relatively accessible. Markham's biography stands as one of the more popular works in the Napoleonic oeuvre. In effect, they’ve become immortal, because they can transform themselves into whatever it takes to survive whatever they encounter. A lifeform leaves the craft and we’re told that it’s from a planet so volatile and forever quick-changing that the inhabitants have learned to evolve just as quickly. In prehistoric times, a spacecraft crashes into what will eventually become the Pacific Ocean and settles on the seabed. I picked it up because there’s an undersea angle. So on the rare occasions that I do finish a book, it’s because it’s really damn compelling. I follow Bookgasm’s Hundred-Page-Rule that states, “If a book’s not good by page one-hundred, stop reading it.” In fact, I’ve modified it into my own, even more hardcore version: “If by page one-hundred you can stop reading do.” That keeps me from debating whether or not a book is “good.” The standard isn’t technical quality it’s whether or not I can put it down. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know that I don’t finish a lot of novels. Here is my offering to you. You are fat and thin and pretty and plain, gay and straight, educated and unlettered, and I am speaking to you all. You are Black and White, Jewish and Muslim, Asian, Spanish speaking, Native Americans and Aleut. “I gave birth to one child, a son, but I have thousands of daughters. Like the rest of her remarkable work, Letter to My Daughter entertains and teaches it is a book to cherish, savor, re-read, and share. Told in her own inimitable style, this book transcends genres and categories: guidebook, memoir, poetry, and pure delight. Whether she is recalling such lost friends as Coretta Scott King and Ossie Davis, extolling honesty, decrying vulgarity, explaining why becoming a Christian is a “lifelong endeavor,” or simply singing the praises of a meal of red rice–Maya Angelou writes from the heart to millions of women she considers her extended family. Here in short spellbinding essays are glimpses of the tumultuous life that led Angelou to an exalted place in American letters and taught her lessons in compassion and fortitude: how she was brought up by her indomitable grandmother in segregated Arkansas, taken in at thirteen by her more worldly and less religious mother, and grew to be an awkward, six-foot-tall teenager whose first experience of loveless sex paradoxically left her with her greatest gift, a son. Maya Angelou shares her path to living well and with meaning in this absorbing book of personal essays.ĭedicated to the daughter she never had but sees all around her, Letter to My Daughter transcends genres and categories: guidebook, memoir, poetry, and pure delight. List Price: $17.00 (Paperback - Biography / Self Help - 2008) Misguided or not, the kids in Pinocchio are at least clamouring to visit Pleasure Island, which is more than can be said for the pint-sized inmates of Stephen King’s meaty, satisfying slab of high-concept pulp fiction. Come daybreak they will have been transformed into donkeys, herded into crates and put to work in the mines. They can drink and smoke and shoot pool at their leisure, blissfully unaware that the theme park is, in fact, a nightmarish factory or sulphurous processing plant. At Pleasure Island, behind high, bolted gates, the town’s tearaways are promised a life free from societal interference. “E ver been to Pleasure Island?” asks Lampwick, the rowdy, doomed delinquent from Disney’s Pinocchio, as the stagecoach spirits a cargo of children through the darkened streets and clear out of the world. In theory, the disclosures of Lennon's loyal partner from 1958 to 1968 cannot fail to be valuable. John is Cynthia's attempt to prove how much more she was worth. "That's like winning the pools, so what are you moaning about? You're not worth any more." "My final offer is seventy-five thousand pounds," John reportedly told her on the phone. Yoko inherited an endlessly regenerating fortune Cynthia got a brisk divorce settlement. Still, as she justly points out, she had bills to pay and her share of Beatles wealth was not generous. Given longer to reflect, she might have owned up to the features in Hello! and Q, too. She admits to having given "a couple of interviews" over the years, but eventually the number multiplies and she alludes to her regular chat spots at Beatles conventions and on TV. Cynthia gamely plays the part of the reticent ex-wife breaking silence, so her earlier autobiography, A Twist of Lennon - quite a lot of which is recycled here - is never named. Like most memoirs, John is being marketed as a story told "for the first time", but Beatles scholarship is a thoroughly strip-mined quarry and the scope for fresh discoveries is meagre. “This book destroyed me and I adored it.”- Stephanie Garber, New York Times bestselling author of Caraval This edition …Bu BEST I Lift Weights And Curse A Lot But I Do It Like A Fucking Lady TShirt Duncan’s devastatingly Gothic Something Dark and Holy trilogy.
