Thoughts on the Phantom Menace

New Star Wars is out. And, as any fan does, I watched a few of the earlier Star Wars films in preparation. As a child of the 90's, I have a particular fondness for the Prequels. So I started with The Phantom Menace. Sadly, it's not as good as I want it to be, or even as I remember it being.

An excellent survey of Russian lit. So many titles that piqued my curiosity, but also good historical context as well as literary context of how they are developing, contradicting, and combining other literary styles of the country and time.

A strong beginning and end that loses a little steam in the middle, but wow is there thematic meat to chew on: identity, determinism, sexism in the sciences, male vs female dynamics and power struggles, patriarchy, family heritage, freedom vs genetic ...more

Jesse rated a book it was amazing Cribsheet: A Data-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting, from Birth to Preschool by Emily Oster	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Easy to read, full of data (and clear where data is sparse), Oster offers a perspective on parenting that ultimately ends with “enjoy your children and try not to worry too much.”
