![]() ![]() Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. The series was first published in 2003 with the entry Lunch Walks Among Us by. Cupid The Invisible Fran The Fran That Time Forgot. Stein is a childrens book series by American author Jim Benton. The new kid at school, Franny approaches making friends as an exciting. But has Franny lost her creepy, crawly ways? Now in paperback-the book that introduced a pint-size heroine with enough pluck to face down any challenge-be it making friends, thrashing monsters, or being herself. Stein, Mad Scientist: Lunch Walks Among Us Attack of the 50-Ft. Jim Benton delivers a madcap tale starring the strange yet endearing Franny K. Tired of being stared at, Franny decides to attempt her most dangerous experiment yet - she' s going to 'fit in.' but when a giant Monstrous Fiend attacks the class, everyone knows it' s up to a 'mad scientist' to save the day. ![]() The kids in Franny' s class think she' s weird, wacky, and just plain creepy. ![]() She prefers poison ivy to daisies, and when Franny jumps rope, she uses her pet snake. Stein is not your average girl - she' s a mad scientist. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And its clear, unambiguous lessons are lessons that readers need to be reminded of-in some cases, long to be reminded of. It’s well-written, cinematic, and entertaining. Yet I don’t mean to suggest that it’s a bad book.Ĭrossroads is a great book. Or maybe, more generously, A Christmas Carol. ![]() I remarked to a friend while reading it, without any irony, that it reminded me of Harry Potter. Yet for all the statements it makes-about altruism, about the dangers of over-indulgence in navel-gazing individualism, about the inefficacy of social justice, about mental illness, about faith in God and redemption, about liberalism and religion-it’s sex where Franzen seems to have the most to say.Ĭrossroads is both formulaic and moralistic, and it’s not very demanding from a literary perspective. The novel is an ambitious, almost six-hundred-page first installment of a family trilogy which has an equally ambitious title, A Key to All Mythologies. ![]() The most striking feature of Jonathan Franzen’s new book, Crossroads, is its sexual conservatism. Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2021, 592 pages ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Nicomachean Ethics is a collection of ten separate books of Aristotle on the ethics of life. To pursue not just happiness but eudaimonia, which Aristotle refers to as a state of contentment where peace and serenity prevail, you must first escape the mind prison and wake up in your own skin again. To wake up from that mind prison and see life as it is, a journey towards self-fulfillment, eudaimonia, achieving your purpose, and constantly improving yourself, it takes a lot of mind training. And yet many of us tend to live mundane lives, like there’s always going to be a next day. 1-Sentence-Summary: The Nicomachean Ethics is a historically important text compiling Aristotle’s extensive discussion of existential questions concerning happiness, ethics, friendship, knowledge, pleasure, virtue, and even society at large. ![]() ![]() ![]() Set in the 1960s, The Town That Drowned evokes the awkwardness of childhood, the thrill of first love, and the importance of having a place to call home. ![]() Suspicions mount, tempers flare, and long-simmering secrets are revealed. Soon everyone discovers that a massive hydroelectric dam is being constructed and their homes will eventually be swallowed by rising water. Then an orange-tipped surveyor stake turns up in a farmer’s field. ![]() What Ruby Carson saw during that fateful day was her entire town - buildings and people - floating underwater. But having a vision and narrating it to assembled onlookers? That solidifies your status as an outcast. Falling through the ice at a skating party and nearly drowning are grounds for embarrassment. Living with an eccentric little brother can be tough. ![]() ![]() She was a Fellow at REWORK (Humboldt University, Berlin) in 2014-2015.

![]() ![]() They do not fulfill the Christian ideal of actively loving your neighbor in accordance with God’s will. Yet ultimately, in the context of the discussion of Christian love, Dostoevsky views both Ivan’s and the Inquisitor’s expressions of love as insufficient. Likewise, Ivan is also portrayed by Dostoevsky as a loving individual. However, this paper proposes that the Grand Inquisitor’s scheme is actually an expression of active love, a principle that is highly extolled in the Christianity that he apparently rejects. The Grand Inquisitor and, by extension, his creator Ivan, are often seen as simply hyper-rational characters who reject God’s love. ![]() Among his many characters, he offers complex portraits of two intriguing individuals, whose love does not quite fit his definition of this ideal. In The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoevsky spends countless pages elucidating his ideal of love. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even worse is the fact that scenes just drag on without much of a point.Įxploitation films were meant to titillate and push the boundaries of good taste. The performances are all pretty bland as you'd expect and there's just nothing entertaining here. The film is a real drag from start to finish, although there are some campy moments that get some laughs. There are all sorts of problems with this one including the fact that there's about fifteen minutes worth of "story" here and it's pushed out to 81 minutes. Once again I must say that I feel really bad for people of this era who had to sit through movies like this one in hopes of getting some sort of nudity. The film was shot silent and we have the typical awful narration that gets us from one scene to the next. ![]() ![]() GIRL IN TROUBLE is the type of exploitation film you'd expect from this era. From here things only get worse for Judy as she falls in with a bunch of perverts. On the way to her dream Judy hitches a ride where the man eventually tries to rape her, which leads her to killing him. Girl in Trouble (1963) * (out of 4) Judy Collins (Tammy Clarke) is just a small town girl who has dreams of heading into the big city and making it big. ![]() ![]() This review is written as both a tribute to Lee Child's writing talent and to encourage those yet to encounter this fascinating character to take the plunge with this key book or for those many Reacher addicts (as I am) to reread this one again-I first read it seven years ago. Like many good novels, this story is constructed around key real events in the author's own life so a biography is included. This is achieved by weaving in Reacher's family: mother and brother, who rarely are referenced elsewhere. This story allows Child to present his own philosophy of Life that underlies Reacher's character. This (464 page) book also exhibits Child's technique of building on very extensive research (in this case, the US Army) to give his books. ![]() This story explains why the series hero, Reacher spends most of his life exploring the U.S.A. ![]() This is the most important book in the incredibly successful Jack Reacher series of novels written by the best-selling author, Lee Child. ![]() |
