![]() This could have been demonstrated by their actions alone, but the author continually hits the reader over the head with this to the point like I felt I was in a Contemporary Anthropology” course at Berkeley. All the heros are identified and bound together by one motto “we celebrate diversity”, and all the villains by the motto “were xenophobic”. ![]() My biggest issue is that Ms.Chambers has some elements for a really great yarn, but ends up using this as a forum for a tired treatise of political correctness. There is some decent world building, and some of the characters are well-drawn (exception is Kizzy the annoying zany genius trope…ugh). The story feels like it should be building towards something big, but it fizzles. Chambers influences are easily discernible (Star Trek TNG, Farscape), but to an extent where I felt like I was reading a teleplay for a single TV episode. I really wanted to like this book, but was quite disappointed. ![]() ![]() ![]() This book will investigate government, media, Hollywood, public schools, our culture of death, and the push toward socialism and Marxism. With 78% of Americans claiming to be Christians, how did it get to the point where Christianity is having less of an influence on our culture than culture is having on Christianity? Too many believers have conformed to our culture and we’re now suffering the consequences as a nation.Įnemy forces continue to destroy this nation by attacking America's Judeo-Christian roots from within. ![]() This book will expose the anti-Christian movements in America and give you a thorough understanding of the foundational battle for truth. ‘Eradicate’ identifies two major problems causing the spiritual and moral decline in our the secular agenda to blot out God, and the apathy of Christians. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She never once provided the name of a family member as a point of contact on a ship's manifest, despite having crossed the Atlantic more than a dozen times, often with the stated objective of visiting with them. She kept strange company and disappeared for months at a time from the public view. She identified several imaginary family members but never a real one. She claimed to be born in France, England, and the United States, and on different years. She achieved her greatest success as an actress in early American motion pictures, circa 1910-1917, and was known as "the sublime vampire woman." She was considered one of the most beautiful women in the world, and for a short period, her star was very bright.īut her life, like her sudden appearance on the world stage in 1910, and her disappearance less than a decade later, is cloaked in mystery.īeneath every mask was yet another mask. ![]() Marie Empress was an English singer, dancer, male impersonator, and comedienne who performed in vaudeville and theater around the world at the turn of the 20th century. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even better, when she propositions him, she has no idea who he really is.But when paparazzi catch the pair, erm, kissing in an alleyway, Ruben’s anonymity disappears faster than Cherry’s knickers.

But a girl has needs, and the smoking-hot stranger she just met at the office seems like the perfect one-night stand… Prince Ruben of Helgmøre is reckless, dominant, and famously filthy. As far as she can tell, they’re overrated, overpaid, and underperforming – in every area of life. From bestselling author Talia Hibbert comes a story of wicked royals, fake engagements, and the fed-up office worker trapped in the midst of it all… Cherry Neita is thirty, flirty, and done with men. ![]() ![]() Recent archaeological discoveries show how these Native American people thrived, and then how they collapsed. Her boldly original interpretation of these diverse research findings offers us a new perspective on early American history, a new interpretation of the American past.īy 1500, more than twelve thousand Mandans were established on the northern Plains, and their commercial prowess, agricultural skills, and reputation for hospitality became famous. Fenn retrieves their history by piecing together important new discoveries in archaeology, anthropology, geology, climatology, epidemiology, and nutritional science. We know of them mostly because Lewis and Clark spent the winter of 1804-1805 with them, but why don't we know more? Who were they really? In this extraordinary book, Elizabeth A. ![]() ![]() Winner of the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for HistoryĮncounters at the Heart of the World concerns the Mandan Indians, iconic Plains people whose teeming, busy towns on the upper Missouri River were for centuries at the center of the North American universe. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Outside, she finds a land filled with strange creatures and talking animals. After some misadventures with food and drink that make her change size, she escapes in a pool of her own tears. She falls, very slowly, into a corridor lined with doors, all locked, and a key that fits only into the smallest one. The story begins when Alice follows a white rabbit, who just happens to be wearing a waistcoat and a pocketwatch, down a rabbit hole. The story can be read here and its sequel Through The Looking Glass here. It was meant as a gift for her and the fictional Alice is based on her. The story was first told by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson ( Pen Name: Lewis Carroll) on a boating trip with a friend and three little girls, one of whom was Alice Liddell. ![]() It contains both volumes, with Tenniel's original illustrations.) (The book The Annotated Alice by Martin Gardner explains all of these, from jokes to basic trivia.

Different stories do different things, all worthwhile. But I think that at the top, there is no way to draw fine distinctions, to insist on rankings. This doesn’t mean I don’t think some art is better than other art – I absolutely do think that. ![]() Let me reiterate something I said last year – though I participate with a lot of enjoyment in Hugo nomination and voting every year, I am philosophically convinced that there is no such thing as the “best” story – “best” piece of art, period. I have seen a fair quantity of movies, too, however. As ever, I’ll caution that I have read a lot of short fiction, but that I am less up on the other categories. ![]() Time for my annual post on what I’m thinking about for Hugo nominations. ![]() ![]() It's a deal, she explains, that all the people of the city understand. "The door is always locked and nobody ever comes," Le Guin sketches out bleakly. It is not loved, it is barely fed, it is afraid of the dirty mops in its nasty room, it is occasionally kicked. "Omelas sounds in my words like a city in a fairy tale, long ago and far away, once upon a time," Le Guin writes.īut there is one catch: Omelas exists as it does because one child is locked up in a basement room, suffering. There is music, there is joy, everywhere there is happiness. In the story, the breathtaking seaside city of Omelas is celebrating its summer festival. So short it can be read in 15 minutes, the story is both so clear it can be understood by a 9-year-old and so deep and wrenching entire college papers are written on it. ![]() ![]() ![]() One of Le Guin's works taught in many schools is her 1973 story, "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas." (Omelas, reportedly, was a twist on Oregon's capital city of Salem, spelled backward and with an O added.) Le Guin, who was beautifully, brilliantly, sublimely crazy.
