Bob Collins' Naming the Dead is a superb collection by a veteran poet and editor. It could properly be considered a "selected poems" as well as a "first book," for it distills the essence of a poet's life and experience. An accomplished--and widely p" Read more of this review » |

Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right:

of
November Volume I : The girl on the roof:
"The art is good but the lettering makes it difficult to read in places. The story moved too slowly and there wasn't enough payoff for me to continue the series. Your mileage may vary."

of
The Paranoid Style in American Politics: An Essay: from The Paranoid Style in American Politics (Kindle Single) (A Vintage Short):
"Interesting
This is the speech that was core of the book paranoid style. It is detailed and quick read but doesn't go into His target's causal explanations and historiography like the book does." |

To see the world in a grain of sand... What a remarkable book. Tracing her own life from the 40s to the 2010s, Ernaux creates a collective political and social history of France, and a good section of the rest of the world. Intimate, inclusive, unsen ...more |

“I would like to carve my novel in a piece of wood. My characters—I would like to have them heavier, more three-dimensional ... My characters have a profession, have characteristics; you know their age, their family situation, and everything. But I try to make each one of those characters heavy, like a statue, and to be the brother of everybody in the world.”

“Everyone underestimates their own life. Funny thing is, in the end, all our stories...they're the same. In fact, no matter where you go in the world, there is only one important story: of youth, loss and yearning for redemption. So we tell the same story, over and over. Only the details are different. ”

Sorry I've fallen so far behind in keeping up with people's reviews. I went through a period of 'pointed stick time' (these are times when I'm convinced that any technology more complex than a pointed stick is too prone to breakdown to be reliable). Through all of September, my computer was in the shop. I'm getting caught up on my backlog, but it'll likely be some time before I get caught up. So I, as well as my correspondents, will likely have to school ourselves to patience for some time yet.
Oouh I was so surprised when I finally entered to yr prof page!!I was about to comment on the picture I show on yr avatar & now.. Anyway I am sure we'll get along, from following Ya for the whole time I show an genuine match on our tastes
Take care Jay ( such a loong name at first I thought u were pulling my leg or that u were wearing a Hindu nickname, Like Sam in Zelazny's work on "lord of Light" )
I will be sure to add U on my future recommendations :D
Thanks for the acceptance. Quite a nice list of books you've read there.
Hey welcome to Goodreads.Heh i didnt know you rated Jack Vance that highly.
Cheers, Ivonne
