Sure.but who hasn't struggled with something only to come out better for having lived through the trails in the end? The friends she made and unmade, obstacles tackled and created, even the stand she takes to gain some control over her treatment and care, all made her into a character, a person worth knowing. ![]() The challenges she faced real or perceived were easy to relate to and so having empathy for her was no stretch of the imagination. She was a peach (though prickly at times) and the love she had for her brother was admirable to say the least. Along the way, I enjoyed getting to know Georgia as she in turn came to know herself. I know I was thinking that uneasiness was anything but imagined but the point at which I developed that spine tingle was fairly early in the work.still so many pages left to go and roads to travel to really know how it would all turn out. It's the ease yet unease that he generates that has everyone going topsy-turvy in his presence, making you guess what's real versus fantasy, and just how far some are willing to go to seemingly have it all. The "one" I mentioned is Fin and truth be told as easily as he slips into the quiet-ish lifestyle of False Bay, he is pretty suspicious.as well as all the circumstances surrounding him. ![]() ![]() Cummings’s voice, assured yet questioning, will stay with you long after you’ve finished The Spirit In My Shoes. In tales that conjure comparisons to John Updike, Raymond Carver, and William Gay, Cummings tells the truth about loneliness, relationships, and the common struggles we all face with prose both precise and vibrant. The Spirit In My Shoes John Michael Cummingsįeaturing twenty-three stories, John Michael Cummings’s debut story collection brims with the vitality and complexity of our shared humanity. Balancing heart and humor, Maximum Speed bears witness to the raw hope of youth and the bittersweet wisdom of age.” -Frances de Pontes Peebles, author of The Air You Breathe “With meticulous craft and profound compassion, Clouther conjures this vibrant collection of connected stories of friends wrestling the ghosts of their past. ![]() ![]() ![]() “There will be no mob justice today trust in the law,” Reeves declares, as the kid - who has obviously seen this film many times - recites the line along with him. In this version, though, Reeves - initially wearing a hood that makes him look very superheroic himself - lassos a corrupt small town sheriff, to the adoration of the sheriff’s all-white constituency. Reeves got to provide the plot, but not the pigment. Marshal Bass Reeves, a legend of the Wild West whose very real adventures were allegedly the inspiration for the Lone Ranger. Technically, we iris in on the climax of the silent movie the kid is watching: a Western where the hero is U.S. We open somewhere completely unexpected, whether you’re familiar with the comic book, the Zack Snyder film, or neither: a movie house in the Greenwood section of Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1921. The origin of Superman? Yes, but also the story of the little African-American boy at the start of this shocking, weird, wonderful take on Watchmen.

Like a shock-jock, Miller chooses the most vulgar term to stun rather than using descriptive language to arouse. This book is often classified as erotica, but many readers might not find it to be erotic. This will make more sense in the next paragraph. The book does illuminate the lead character, but the reaction that character evokes is neither love nor hate but more of an “ethink of Victor from “Choke”), but without out the quirky humor to make him amusing and interesting. There’s not much story-though a little one is packed in at the very end. This isn’t necessarily true today, but it seems to be the case with this 1934 novel. It’s often said that literary fiction downplays story in favor of character development. This, Henry Miller’s first novel, is about a young man living a bohemian life in Paris in the late 1920’s. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lynch is an ACM Fellow and a member of both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering.

In the barn they tended to the animals, but also to each other, transforming the hollowed-out shed into a place of human refuge, a source of intimacy and hope in a world ruled by vicious masters.

Making Faces is essentially a New Adult novel, but it’s quite different from most others I’ve read. If you can get through the first few chapters, this is a rewarding reading experience. However, the good parts of this book are truly very good and particularly in the second half, some of the more emotional scenes are incredibly moving. ![]() As with many self-published books I’ve read, this one would have benefited from tighter editing. ![]() I found Harmon’s book to be something of a mixed bag. I can’t recall why I picked up Making Faces, but I do remember it generating a fair amount of buzz about 5 or 6 years ago, so I suspect I downloaded it out of curiosity. ![]() |
