![]() ![]() This book is not only a source of inspiration to artists and filmmakers, but also a work with deep philosophical heft. Each piece deserves to be read carefully because it testifies to the fecund and transformative potential of Thus Spoke Zarathustra. I won’t summarize the eleven pieces that comprise this guide, but please see the admirable introduction by the editors Keith Ansell-Pearson and Paul S. ![]() The new critical guide from Cambridge University Press, Nietzsche’s ‘Thus Spoke Zarathustra’: A Critical Guide, poses a challenge to this consensus.The eleven essays that make up the work help us engage with Nietzsche’s philosophical vision and bring to light dimensions of the work that elucidate the timely question of what our species is creating beyond itself. Nietzsche considered his philosophical novel, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, his masterwork, but recently it has largely been ignored by philosophical scholars. ![]() ![]() ![]() When he was working on Eden, Steinbeck said he thought everything he’d written before was practice for that. (This was somehow the first Steinbeck I’ve read that wasn’t East of Eden, which I love. A love story, as opposed to a romance, that leaves you at the end feeling like it’s deepened your humanity.)
![]() One day he rescues Holly from a horrific situation. He's content with his solitary life spending time creating beautiful things and rescuing animals. ![]() ![]() An outcast from society his physical scars make it hard for him to go in public because of the stares and judgement he receives. She has a unique way of making you understand her complex characters, describing the scenes without unnecessary information, and wrapping her endings up in a believable way. Carian, is one of the best story tellers of her time. By always weaving this subject matter in the stories she writes brings awareness to the furry friends that so desperately need our help. I also love that all of Carian's book's include animal rescues. Life and the people in it aren't always a pretty fairy tale and she captures that good and evil balance perfectly. This author's way of really humanizing her characters is like nothing I've ever experienced while listening to a book before. I own every book available by this author on audible and can't wait for more. Carian Cole doesn't just tell a story, but rather takes you on a realistically beautiful journey. ![]() ![]() ![]() Jasmine grapples with the messiness of her own family's dilemmas as she balances their wishes against her desires.

With no boyfriend or job prospects, Jasmine returns home to work at her parents’ donut shop. ![]() ![]() Jasmine Tran has landed herself behind bars-maple bars that is. Julie Tieu sparkles in this debut romantic comedy, which is charmingly reminiscent of the TV show Kim’s Convenience and Frankly in Love by David Yoon, about a young woman who feels caught in the life her parents have made for her until she falls in love and finds a way out of the donut trap. ![]() ![]() ![]() It became impossible to write in a strange house with only one room for us all and my mother living with us, too. She stated it was these circumstances that made it impossible to write: "I just quit. ![]() After the bombing, she, her mother and the family next door moved in with Watson's in-laws. A bomb destroyed the house next door and the fireplace was blown onto his cot. Watson had put him upstairs but he was fussy so she brought him downstairs. They had one son, Keith, born in 1941, who survived the Blitz by pure chance. Watson married Leslie Pickering, manager of a local timber firm, in January 1936. So I wrote the whole book in the office." Watson once said: "The person I worked for never gave me any work until the afternoon-he told me to bring some knitting in. She began working as a typist to help support the family. Although she was expected to attend university, as her sisters had, she was unable to because of the impact of the Depression on her father's shoe business. ![]() Winifred Watson was born at Whitley Bay near Newcastle and educated at St Ronan's, a boarding school at Berwick-upon-Tweed.

Ultimately, both Ness and Ford received credits for the screenplay. ![]() After his departure, other screenwriters such as Jamie Linden, Lindsey Beer, Gary Spinelli, John Lee Hancock, Christopher Ford, and even Ness himself were associated with the project.

(You can see the cover at Like Pike, who also recapped this series.) And the guy in the bottom right corner is rocking an incredible red curly mullet. And I remember how it ends, who the murderer is, but we won’t get to that just yet.Ĭan we start with the cover? As is the case with any good high school drama, all of the characters look about 35. There are lots of other characters, and they do typical high school things like going to sporting events and dances. A perfect, pretty blonde girl bites it at the end of the first book, hot computer nerd Michael tries to solve her murder, and he’s joined by the love of his life Jessica (who falls for a probably-gay football player) and his BFF Bubba. So let’s see how much I remember: this is a straight-up murder mystery without the supernatural stuff Pike put in his later books (this one’s (c) 1988). I probably read it (if not the whole thing, then the last book) 3 or 4 times. ![]() The Final Friends trilogy was one of my favorite sets of books when I was about 13. ![]() |
