Dragonsinger by anne mccaffrey5/23/2023 ![]() It’s really is a story that just kind of follows Menolly’s every day life, which is filled with excitement. There is a lot of talk of instruments and music chords, that after awhile I got bored of the topic but it’s a Crucial part of Menolly’s story, so you have to follow it. ![]() McCaffrey lives in a house of her own design, Dragonhold-Underhill, in County. With Elizabeth Ann Scarborough she co-authored Changelings and Maelstrom, Books One and Two of The Twins of Petaybee. ![]() Discover why this series is so beloved and lose yourself in Pern: a world of dragons and other worldly forces a world of mighty powers and omnious threats, from New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author Anne McCaffrey. Anne McCaffrey, the Hugo Award-winning author of the bestselling Dragonriders of Pern novels, is one of science fiction's most popular authors. But boy did I love when Menolly finally stood up to Pona and even slugged Benis a good hit! That was my favorite scene when I read this years ago and frankly it still is.The story focuses on Menolly adapting to her new home while trying to understand her place amongst the Hall but also maintain her control over her 9 fire lizards. Dragonriders of Pern is an epic of the fantasy genre for a reason. Although I won’t lie, Dragonsinger wasn’t my favorite of the trilogy, I always felt it was a slow moving tale, and after the re-read it does still have that slow, almost boring pace.The story is beautiful though, after everything we witness in book one, with how Menolly is treated at her hold and at the hands of her own parents, it’s satisfying seeing her treated with respect and true care, though that’s not to say everyone at Harper Hall is particularly happy she is there. ![]() I haven’t read this since I was a kid and I still adore it. ![]()

The river peter heller summary5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With its numerous zen-like fishing scenes, The Painter is a dark relative of David James Duncan’s The River Why. For the rest of the story, he hides in plain sight from the police, from those who wish to exact revenge, but most of all, from his own conscience. One night, when a rage born from unspeakable loss takes over, Stegner kills a local criminal in cold blood. But his connections with women are genuine, and varied, even long lasting. His leading lady is spirited, though lacking in an agenda of her own. Devout in his recovery from alcoholism, Stegner is somewhat of a womanizer, and with James Salter-like swagger he dives into an Ocean of Women, some of whom (feminists beware!) burst forth like gunfire and fade just as fast. His quirkily shamanic paintings come to acclaim after he crushes the hand of a radio host during a live interview. Stegner is a once jailed, twice divorced artist who fishes often and lives quietly between Colorado and New Mexico. And so are you.Īnd so is Jim Stegner, in Peter Heller’s second novel, The Painter. ![]() This is to say, I am somebody’s anti-hero. An unfunny, insensitive, none-too-bright, all-around Bad Person. A morally-questionable hurter of feelings. My enemies might think of me as a self-promoter with more ambition than talent. ![]()

Fish by T.J. Parsell5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() This is not loving sex or erotic sex, it is a business-like transaction at best, a violent transaction at worst. ‘Boys’ are forced to find a ‘man’ to protect them in return for sex. Lock a rowdy group of men in together without a sexual release and they turn into sexual predators, the strong preying on the weak. His experience in prison is rule rather than exception that much is clear from the beginning of the book. Many years after his release, Parsell was the president of Stop Prisoner Rape and he is currently a consultant to the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission. Being a ‘fish’ (a ‘first-timer’ or ‘new arrival’ in prison slang) he was an easy target. ![]() But even if his crime had been more severe, he did not deserve to be gang-raped early on during his stay and systematically forced into sex throughout his time in prison. His family was poor and uneducated and his crime, robbery with a fake gun, was misguided and stupid more than anything else. Parsell was locked up in 1978 for a couple of years when he was a fairly naive 17 year old boy. Parsell has written a book called Fish: A Memoir of a Boy in a Man’s Prison which tells the story of the truth behind all those ‘dropping the soap in prison’ jokes. ![]()

The complete nonsense of edward lear5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() It has been a hundred years since Edward Lear, the advocate of illogic, first became known to a wide public. ![]() Their influence has certainly been widespread, with echoes of Lear to be seen in the work of Thurber, Steinberg, Phil May, Bateman, and other artists and illustrators. Many Lear enthusiasts maintain that in these drawings the Laureate of Nonsense gave rise to an entire new style. With masterful simplicity and apparent naiveté they tell of the dreamlike never-never land of childhood. In addition, you'll find three different sets of Nonsense Botany, five Nonsense Alphabets, and dozens of other selections in both prose and verse.Īll 546 of Lear's original illustrations are in this volume. ![]() You will meet such old favorites as "The Dong With a Luminous Nose," "The Jumblies," "The Owl and the Pussycat," "The Nutcrackers and the Sugar Tongs," and "The History of the Seven Young Owls." Two hundred and fourteen limericks are in here as well, each illustrated with the drawing Lear composed specially for it. No other low-price edition offers this complete collection. In a single volume you get "A Book of Nonsense," "Nonsense Songs," "More Nonsense Songs," "Laughable Lyrics," and "Nonsense Songs and Stories. Here is every line of every nonsense book written by Edward Lear. ![]()
