Chiang short stories5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() each of those stories is a goddamned jewel." -Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing "Confirms that blending science and fine art at this length can produce touching works, tales as intimate as our own blood cells, with the structural strength of just-discovered industrial alloys." - Seattle Times "Chiang derides lazy thinking, weasels it out of its hiding place, and leaves it cowering." - Washington Post "Essential. ![]() but with the perfection of slow-growing crystal." -Lev Grossman, Best of the Decade: Science Fiction and Fantasy, "United by a humane intelligence that speaks very directly to the reader, and makes us experience each story with immediacy and Chiang's calm passion." -China Mieville, The Guardian "Ted is a national treasure. I always suggest a person read at least 52 books a year for proper mental functioning but if you only have time for one, be at peace: you found it." -Junot Díaz (author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao ) "Meticulously pieced together, utterly thought through, Chiang's stories emerge slowly. Chiang is so exhilarating so original so stylish he just leaves you speechless. ![]() Book dead jews5/22/2023 ![]() Why do we care so much about how they died if we’re not interested in how they lived?” She asked the audience, “How many of you can name three concentration camps? How many can name three Yiddish writers? I ask because 80% of the Jews who were murdered were Yiddish speakers. “There are consequences to honoring Jews without agency.” “This was a case where Jews had no agency,” said Horn. In contrast, International Holocaust Remembrance Day recalls the Soviet forces’ freeing of the inmates of Auschwitz. The day serves as a reminder of the heroic acts of Jewish resistance. Horn pointed out that Yom HaShoah honors the largest single revolt by Jews during World War II, the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, which took place in 1943. She often found she was being asked to write about dead Jews, not living ones. ![]() Her goal in her writing and speaking is to address the issue of why there seems to be a fascination with Jewish deaths and not with the inspiring, multifaceted life of Jews in the past and present. ![]() Love you more lisa gardner summary5/22/2023 ![]() –Taylor Antrim Sam by Allegra Goodman (January) ![]() His gothic predilections are not for everyone (the Trawler’s kills are grotesque) but the evocation of a certain kind of vacant privilege-a buried longing overlaid with studied dissociation-is masterful. Ellis holds nothing back through these 600 pages: baroque violence, startling eroticism, relentless cataloging of mood-specific song and movie titles. ![]() It stars none other than Ellis himself, a prep school senior writing a novel called Less Than Zero and surrounded by a pack of rich beautiful friends who are themselves shadowed by a serial killer nicknamed the Trawler. ![]() The Shards, Ellis’s hypnotic, prodigious and unsettling new novel-his first in 13 years-is a time machine back to that early 80s milieu. Bret Easton Ellis’s first novel, Less Than Zero, published in 1985, is hard to shake-a drifting, menacing story about Los Angeles private school kids with monosyllabic names (Clay, Blair, Trent, Rip) who go to parties, do drugs, have sex and try to feel something about any of it. ![]() Fawkes nadine brandes5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Keepers think the Igniters caused the plague. And when the king calls for peace, no one listens until he finally calls for death. Wars where color power alters the natural rhythm of 17th-century London. ![]() The wars that are never declared but are carried out in dark alleys with masks and hidden knives. Thomas Fawkes is turning to stone, and the only cure to the Stone Plague is to join his father’s plot to assassinate the king of England. Once I read the premise, I decided that I couldn’t wait to see what spin Brandes might place on this piece of history. Why I Chose It: While perusing the books on offer at NetGalley, I was drawn to this particular cover. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. I was not disappointed.ĭisclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley. So I was pleasantly surprised to discover that somebody had decided to finally take a look, albeit through the lens of fiction, at this interesting moment in history. ![]() After I watched the movie, I went looking for books about the Gunpowder Plot, but there wasn’t much out there. I’ll be honest, I didn’t know that much about Guy Fawkes before I watched V for Vendetta a few years ago.

There was also an attempt add a new Fae woman as a friend for Mercy. This leaves the door open for Mercy to form closer relationships with the women pack members, like Honey and Mary Jo. The tension within the pack with regards to Mercy is faced head on in such a way that I doubt we will see much having to do with that anymore. ![]() I mean, things happen, but…not much really happens.įirst off, there was an attempt to rectify one of the problems I had highlighted from earlier books: the lack of positive female characters other than Mercy. I think I’m going to struggle reviewing this book, however.

The dueling/battle scenes were fantastic! Among the best I’ve read. Rage of Dragons was a promising start to a new series. He’ll become the greatest swordsman to ever live, a man willing to die a hundred thousand times for the chance to kill the three who betrayed him.
