5/13/2023 0 Comments Kallocain boye![]() ![]() ![]() But it has also aspects of love and fight for freedom in it too. A totalitarian society where the individual is under scrutinizing control of its government all the time. Her most famous and unfortunately last work came to be Kallocain, inspired by Germany and the Soviet Era just before the second world war. The freedom that she had heard of and had imagined wasn’t really freedom but more like imprisonment, always in fear of getting taken away and instead of having actual thoughts. She got a firsthand glance of the rise of the Nazis there. ![]() A year later she decides to move back as Berlin wasn’t really what she had hoped to be. She made a trip to Berlin in early 1930s in hope that she could find a haven and live free and be who she is and be comfortable in her own skin. She was battling how she could be true to herself in a time when homosexuality was considered a crime in Sweden. She was homosexual and was afraid to be who she was and live free. But unfortunately she lived in a tragic time. Kallocain was released in 1940 that is 8 years before Orwells 1984 that also shares some of the theme in Kallocain.Ī small backstory on this lady, she is one of the greatest poets of Sweden. To understand the book it’s good to know some about the author first. Kallocain was written by one of the most famous poets of Sweden. This book is for those that enjoy reading about a dystopian society, such as 1984 or Brave New World. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Bo Next Door by Duckie Mack![]() Will Ollie ever learn how to use that doggie door? I wonder □. I’m in total love with the Love Bank series and I truly want to hear more of Bo and Ian. I wish some of my other audiobooks were this easy to listen to. I listened and listened and never wanted to stop. ![]() Would Bo be able to get past his own personal demons in order to stay with Ian? As always with a Duckie Mack book, I am energized by the storyline. Ian, who’d never really looked beyond the music, could now see a path forward with Bo. Bo was who Ian was looking for and Ian could give Bo that care and comfort that he wanted as well. And yet…Bo and Ian were meant for each other. A story of fresh starts for Bo and his sister Lane even while it’s something different for Ian. ![]() Bo, leaning into his new life by moving away from home where everyone knew him by his old name. Ian, a singer working to be famous and yet also keep his privacy. □□♀️ The story of Ian and Bo kept me captivated, because it’s a story that had so many facets to it. Duckie loves to interact with readers and is most active on instagram authorduckiemack. ![]() She lives in Southern California with her family, 2 dogs, and 3 cats, and loves to give out free hugs at pride events. I’m not sure when that started happening or if I just got so used to hearing them that I wasn’t noticing chapter changes. She writes sweet romance with a little heat, adorkable characters, and is a sucker for an HEA. There were times in the book where I couldn’t tell Kurcz from Earlywine and it would take me a minute to figure out who was narrating. ![]() I really like the way they speak when they’re just reading what Bodhi or Ian are thinking in their heads versus saying aloud and changing their intonations for each character. These two narrators are fast becoming my look for narrators. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments The martian paperback![]() ![]() ![]() "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. ![]() Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him? Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills-and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit-he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.īut Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there.Īfter a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive-and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.Ĭhances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read Selected for common reading at North Lake College ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I believe that there really is a Santa Claus, and that all those red-suited guys you see at Christmastime really are his helpers. I believe that you can tear off someone’s shadow with a steel tent-pole. I believe there are alligators in the New York City sewer system, not to mention rats as big as Shetland ponies. I believe a dime can derail a freight-train. I highly recommend you check out the intro, even if for some stupid reason you don’t read the rest of the book, at least read that. It was without a doubt the best introduction to anything I have ever read. The introduction, which King titled “Myth, Belief, Faith, and Ripley’s Believe It or Not! ” was truly incredible and inspirational. The only King collection I have left to read is “Hearts In Atlantis,” which has novellas and short stories mixed in, so really “Nightmares & Dreamscapes” was the last one… and for me, it was the best one. King released this 960-page collection of 24 short stories in 1993. ![]() ![]() ![]() ‘ The Heart’s Invisible Furies‘ is a more recent novel published in 2017 that follows the life and troubles of an adopted boy Cyril Avery. ![]() Henry brings back memories of her youth that she’d rather not remember. ![]() The novel is incredibly emotional and multi-layered as the older woman begins a friendship with a younger boy. Her father was a commandant of an extermination camp. She’s the same Gretel featured in Boyne’s best-known novel, ‘ The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.’ She has a storied history, having escaped from Nazi Germany when she was a child. ‘ All the Broken Places‘ by John Boyne focuses on Gretel Fernsby, a ninety-one-year-old woman who has lived in the same block of London for decades. He makes friends with a Jewish boy on the other side of the fence with whom he shares his troubles and elevates some of his loneliness. Bruno has no understanding of the situation they’re in or what the work his father is doing is really about. There, his father is working as the new commandant. The story of ‘ The Boy in the Striped Pajamas‘ follows a young boy, Bruno, who, along with his sister Gretel, and his mother and father, moves to a home outside of Auschwitz. ![]() This is, without a doubt, Boyne’s best-known and commonly read novel.

Like the generously sized dick outlined in the cotton. The kind that clings to a man’s ass and shows off his thighs.Īnd, you know, other things. “There’s a chirping,” I insist, trying to ignore the fact that he’s only wearing short boxer briefs. Not to mention, his light brown hair is a mess, and his chin is stubbled, and his tattoos are just… yum. His naked, slightly hairy, very sexy chest. You are the noise.” His chest is heaving. I may sound irrational right now, but damn it, a girl needs to sleep.įinally, he yanks the door open and glares at me with shining hazel eyes. If he’s sleeping, which I can’t imagine how he could through that noise, he can just wake up and deal with me. I mean, it’s the middle of the night, so where else would he be? His car is in the driveway, so I know he’s home. No lights on in the houses on the street. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Review ancestor trouble![]() ![]() Mental illness and religious fanaticism percolated through Maud’s maternal lines back to an ancestor accused of being a witch in Puritan-era Massachusetts. Her mother’s grandfather killed a man with a hay hook and died in an institution. Her mother’s father, who came of age in Texas during the Great Depression, was said to have married thirteen times and been shot by one of his wives. Maud Newton’s ancestors have vexed and fascinated her since she was a girl. ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, NPR, Time, Entertainment Weekly, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Esquire, Garden & Gun An acclaimed writer goes searching for the truth about her wildly unconventional Southern family-and finds that our obsession with ancestors opens up new ways of seeing ourselves-in this “brilliant mix of personal memoir and cultural observation” ( The Boston Globe).Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle’s John Leonard Prize. ![]() a literary feat that simultaneously builds and excavates identity.”- The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Batman nightwalker review![]() ![]() Normally, I really enjoy Marie Lu's writing style, but this book was different than her other work. But, what kept me from giving this book five stars was the writing style. There are quite a few things I liked about this book: the plot was intricate and engaging, the protagonist was likable and interesting, and the twists and turns were really well executed. However, I have read Marie Lu's work before, so I had a general idea of what I was getting into. When a string of mysterious crimes pop up in Gotham City, he soon gets tangled in the web.įirst off, when I started this book, I didn't actually know much about the Batman universe, but it was easy to catch up - especially considering it takes places years before Bruce's story actually begins as Batman. ![]() ![]() Years after the death of his parents, Bruce struggles with loss, a sense of purpose, and the empire he has just inherited. In "Batman: Nightwalker", the early years of Bruce Wayne is retold in the style of a YA novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Following Giroux ( Citation2000), public pedagogy understands political agency for social change in public spaces, social movements, and on the internet, as important sites of education and learning beyond the institutions of schools and classrooms. ![]() This paper presents an empirical study of critical public pedagogy on an internet discussion forum that aims to empower Black people, and to educate Whites to unlearn racism through transformative interracial dialogue. Honest confrontation and critical dialogue lead several White participants to acknowledge their subjectivity, become aware of White privilege, and examine and change dominating communicative behavior towards Blacks. Analysis of empirical examples shows how Blacks who follow Patricia Hill Collins’ Black feminist epistemology, and show emotions, speak from experience, and demand rhetoric to be translated into action challenge White people’s detached, Eurocentric perspectives, and dominating communicative behavior. It proposes that epistemological change is required from White participants to cross the perception gap. Drawing on Freire’s education for critical consciousness and bell hooks’ work on unlearning racism – understood as structural and interpersonal dominance relations – the paper shows how transformative interracial dialogues are possible despite difficulties. Presenting an empirical study of critical public pedagogy, this paper analyzes interracial dialogues on an internet forum run by conscious Black people who set the terms and challenge White participants who reflect a colorblind ideology. ![]() |
