![]() ![]() I would say a working knowledge of Quixote’s original adventures is vital to fully appreciating this one, though you can probably skip the Unamuno which is depressingly esoteric. I love the references to Don Quixote and Miguel de Unamuno’s Quixote essay, both of which I read over the summer (see my reviews here and here). (Quixote is much like Scobie, really, with similar doubt and despair - I imagine that both of them are probably autobiographical in this respect.) This is, frankly, much more comprehensible and engaging for a non-Catholic. We don’t see one man struggling with a specific dilemma of absolution, but rather a similar man struggling in general with his faith. Here, rather, he examines Catholicism holistically and much less personally. ![]() ![]() It’s actually just as Catholic a work as what I consider his most Catholic so far, Heart of the Matter, but here Greene doesn’t deal with his religion in a mystifying, perseverating and in my opinion tedious way, one that is largely inaccessible to non-religious readers like me. It was breezy and nostalgic, with a great touch of tender affection between the two protagonists. So this is “light Graham Greene” huh? Quite a change of pace from the others I’ve read, ( The Power and the Glory, The Quiet American and The Heart of the Matter), but I liked it a lot, maybe even because of the tonal and stylistic change-up. ![]()

![]() ![]() Then she spotted Michael Casey - and the dizzyingly attractive pilot made her want to keep house, tuck him into bed… and crawl in after him! Self-sufficient, spirited, and undaunted by disaster, Alex was a delicious temptation for Casey, but he had no intention of giving up his precious bachelorhood, even for this impudent, challenging female who made his heart race and his temperature rise! When fierce attraction led to sizzling seduction, Alex had to be shameless. She’d traded in her Wall Street job and fancy condo for a cabin in the Alaska woods, and there was no turning back! She’d wanted to escape the rat race, to go husband-hunting where men outnumbered women four to one, but now she was here… and full of doubts. ![]() In addition to her 1 bestselling Stephanie Plum novels and many other popular books, Janet is the author of The Recovery Agent, the start of a blockbuster new series. It had a terrific ring to it, but Alex felt a sudden twinge of terror. Janet Evanovich Over the last twenty-six years, Janet Evanovich has written a staggering forty-two New York Times bestsellers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With her clever voice and clear-eyed insight, Jen draws on personal experiences with sexism and biphobia to understand how we all can and must do better. Greedy follows Jen’s attempts to make sense of herself as she explores the role of the male gaze, what it means to be “queer enough,” and how to overcome bi stereotypes when you’re the posterchild for all of them: greedy, slutty, and constantly confused. Unless…she’s not? Jen’s provocative, laugh-out-loud debut takes us inside her journey of self-discovery, leading us through stories of a childhood “girl crush,” an onerous quest to have a threesome, and an enduring fear of being bad at sex. Or wait-maybe she isn’t? Actually, she definitely is. If Jen Winston knows one thing for sure, it’s that she’s bisexual. Perfect for fans of Lindy West, Samantha Irby, and Rebecca Solnit-and anyone who wants, and deserves, to be seen. A hilarious and whip-smart collection of essays, offering an intimate look at bisexuality, gender, and, of course, sex. ![]() ![]() ![]() In retrospect, the entire production feels misshapen. The most frustrating thing about "I Am Mother" is the way it favors the unveiling of plot twists over nearly everything else, including characterization, theme, and the related pleasures of world-building. ![]() Their fraught central relationship elevates "I Am Mother" beyond mere proficiency and makes it memorable, despite a lingering feeling that the filmmakers never quite figured out how to capitalize on their morally and philosophically rich premise, and settled instead for the superficial, cliff-hanging pleasures of "And then this happened." But as physically imposing as she is, Mother would be nothing without her child (Clara Ruugard), whom she raised from an embryo and addresses as Daughter. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In 2021 Netflix announced plans to release an animated film of Redwall that will introduce the series to a new generation of fans.īrian died in Liverpool on 5 February 2011.
