It is the way she writes and describes the surroundings that almost make you skip a heartbeat and wonder how did she manage to churn out such brilliance. When I read her books, I am almost overwhelmed with sadness myself. I picked this one up on a lark and I am glad that I did.Ĭarson McCullers had a knack of portraying the loneliness her characters felt. Carson McCullers has always been and will in all probability always be famous for The Heart is a Lonely Hunter and The Ballad of the Sad Café, of course as they were brilliant books and pieces of magnificient literature, but this is no less. Reflections in a Golden Eye is one such short gem that most people do not know about. Having said that, I am also partial to novellas and short novels as and when they come my way and off late they have been coming my way more so than I expected. The bigger, the better I say and have always maintained that. I have always believed in reading big books. The men couldn’t keep any food down except milkshakes from McDonald’s, so the nurses would pick up shakes on the way to work. She told me about the endless diarrhea that nurses had to deal with, how they would try to clean up patients when their friends or parents came to visit. The nurse who has been patiently sitting with me and helping me, Trish Sullivan, used to be an AIDS nurse at NYU Langone, known at the time as NYU Medical Center, in the early days of the epidemic. I have been struggling with a serious genetic disease, caused by a Janus kinase 2 gene mutation, for a decade, and my veins have become scarred after two years of phlebotomies, given every five weeks.

The herring is cleaned, the head is removed and it is conserved in a special way (with salt). Also the preparation is quite special and must be done according to the Dutch tradition. Herring can only be called ‘Hollandse Nieuwe’ if the fish is caught between May and July. Of course you can also enjoy this Dutch delight by eating it in little pieces or on a sandwich called ‘broodje haring’. In the Netherlands new herring is eaten by lifting up the herring by its tail into the air and then take a bite upwards. Also the way of eating is a real Dutch tradition. The raw herring is served together with chopped raw onions and gherkins. If you like fish you should at least try it once. Haring or ‘Hollandse Nieuwe’ (Dutch new herring) is probably the most famous Dutch food. 15 Most Famous and Best Amsterdam Coffee Shops. 5/22/2023 0 Comments Corrode by Sarah BaileyThis reader will never have sympathy for them, but I’ll restate the opportunity for understanding comes through the text in a brilliant way. We get a great look at how some people cope with unspeakable trauma, notably the “broken” characteristics that make up the Horsemen. It’s still annoying as fuck that these men go through life with an arrogance that they can control who lives and dies simply at their direction, but there’s more grounds for understanding this mindset. Now that the reader is expected to fully understand where everyone stands, the intricacies of what happened in those 10 years lost to Scarlett can finally be explored and examined. We’re not exposed as much to the inner monologues of annoyingly boastful murder boys. To put it simply, the overall story has found its groove. We start off with a bang, as a very emotional and well written flashback of Scarlett’s accident that paints a horrible yet important picture of what brought the characters to their current day brokenness. There’s still so much to do before this menagerie could find anything close to something resembling peace. Four ruthless men and the equally ruthless woman that are engrained into their souls. Corrode, by Sarah Bailey is the third book in the four novel series known as Four Horsemen. 5/22/2023 0 Comments The second mango by shira glassmanNesbit – though admittedly Nesbit is more likely to preach Socialism than religion) but it influences the characters’ speech, their acts, and the holidays they celebrate.Īnd there is sex it’s not explicit but it’s unmistakeable. The world and the characters are Jewish in approximately the way most kids’ books from Victorian times through about the mid-1960s are Christian there’s no preaching (much less than in, say, Little Women or E. There’s the sort of food intolerances that you can name in five people you know IRL and no one you know in a book. There’s an older male hero who doesn’t look like a twenty-year-old model. There’s a dragon and a wizard, a quest and lots of character development. There is also romance in the book, both same-sex and opposite sex. So instead I will tell you that it has a gay woman and a straight woman who are friends. I don’t agree with the book’s blurb entirely (the engaging parts are accurate it’s just wrong in spots). The book is The Second Mango, by Shira Glassman, published by Prizm Books. I think I know who might be, though at least I can offer some parameters. This is not going to be a review, but rather a comment I liked it OK but I’m not the right audience to fall in love with it. A friend of mine had a book published last week. 5/22/2023 0 Comments Criminal destiny gordon kormanI liked this second book in the series! It has more action than the first book, but less mystery.

Even with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory using much of the story from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, there are some key differences between the book and the movie. Dahl being part of writing the screenplay also probably helped it stay so true to the original book. The film’s director, Mel Stuart didn't stray far from Roald Dahl’s vision. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a pretty faithful adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. There are small differences between the book and the movie, but it’s those differences that give each version character. Roald Dahl's original book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory may be even more beloved. It’s one of the best children’s movies of all time. Many love it because of the imaginative way it teaches many vital lessons to children, such as selflessness, perseverance, and moderation. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a timeless classic movie. As he explores questions progressive evangelical readers of Scripture commonly face yet fear voicing, Enns reveals that they are the very questions that God wants us to considerthe essence of our spiritual study. Is this what God really requires? How could Gods plan for divine inspiration mean ignoring what is really written in the Bible? These questions eventually cost Enns his jobbut they also opened a new spiritual path for him to follow.The Bible Tells Me So chronicles Ennss spiritual odyssey, how he came to see beyond restrictive doctrine and learned to embrace Gods Word as it is actually written. But the further he studied the Bible, the more he found himself confronted by questions that could neither be answered within the rigid framework of his religious instruction or accepted among the conservative evangelical community.Rejecting the increasingly complicated intellectual games used by conservative Christians to protect the Bible, Enns was conflicted. Instead, Enns says, When we open the Bible and read it, we are eavesdropping on an ancient spiritual journey (p. 3), a cookbook, an owner’s manual, or a contract (p. The controversial Bible scholar and author of The Evolution of Adam recounts his transformative spiritual journey in which he discovered a new, more honest way to love and appreciate Gods Word.Trained as an evangelical Bible scholar, Peter Enns loved the Scriptures and shared his devotion, teaching at Westminster Theological Seminary.
