My point is - where's the consistency? why can't Mike just embrace his vampireness? Or at least the parts that would help him, like super human strength. In one scene, it's cold and rainy and they're fine, and in another, there's a real danger of dying from frost bite. one thing that keeps sort of tweaking me is how Mark continues to fluctuate the power of the vampires. But okay, I feel like I need to vent a smidge. We've got intelligent zombies, talking zombie apes, vampires, magic men from other places. I swear that when I read ZF1 I never saw the series goign in this direction. As usual, Mark writes a great story and Sean brings the characters to life masterfully. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Beach reads are books that deeply engross you, leaving you hanging on to every word. It’s less about the setting, strictly speaking, and more about the feeling. You don’t even have to be near the shore to read one. If there’s ever a time to read a book like this, it’s now. A beach read is more than strictly a book you read by the ocean. As they gradually learn to trust one another, they fall in love in such a tender, believable, real way that it’ll make you believe in people and love and happiness and the power of books to heal us. Sounds easy, right?īeach Read is about two people who are both going through hardship and struggle, who don’t believe in themselves or other people, who are scared and anxious and heartbroken. I Wish We Weren’t Related by Radhika Sanghani. They’re both writers, and both dealing with writer’s block, so they decide to swap genres-January will teach Gus how to write a fun, swoony rom-com, and Gus will teach her how to write bleak literary fiction. January and Augustus are next-door neighbors in beach houses in a tiny vacation town. If you’re also looking for books like this, Beach Read is your exact book for this moment. Right now, I want to read books that make me forget what’s going on in the world, books that take me to another place, books that make me smile, and books that make me believe in the goodness of other people. In this hard and stressful time, I’m all the more appreciative of books that fill me with joy. ![]() ![]() And all the way to Babadag, between the Baltic Coast and the Black Sea, where Stasiuk sees his first minaret, and#8220 simple and severe, a pencil pointed at the sky.and#8221 and#160 Ī brilliant tour of Europeand#8217 s dark undersideand#8212 travel writing at its very best. ![]() On to Soroca, a baroque-Byzantine-Tatar-Turkish encampment, to meet Gypsies.

He knew how to use the kind of logic that moved the great majority. I had no idea how he had acquired these techniques, but he clearly had the knack of appealing directly to the feelings of the mass audience. Noboru Wataya was an intellectual chameleon, changing his color in accordance with his opponent’s, ad-libbing his logic for maximum effectiveness, mobilizing all the rhetoric at his command. He needed only to attack, to knock his enemy down. He had nothing to protect, which meant that he could concentrate all his attention on pure acts of combat. Consistency and an established worldview were excess baggage in the intellectual mobile warfare that flared up in the mass media’s tiny time segments, and it was his great advantage to be free of such things. ![]() But these very absences were what constituted his intellectual assets.

I do think there is a purpose to this particular madness, of course, Leto II is not only bored, he knows (both in practice as well as in prescience) what he does to his people will force the major change - part of his "Golden Path". The Duncan Idaho ghola is forced out of an active role for pretty much throughout the book. When there is fighting in the streets of Leto's Citadel, all we know of it is the destruction of Face Dancers and the death of other, more innocent people. We don't see the God Emperor's Fish Speakers in action, we only hear about it in reports. Other that the chase/escape scene in the opening chapter and the destruction of the bridge on the Royal Road in the last chapter, there really is no action. I think one of the reasons I don't really care for this book is that as a story it's extremely sedate both in theme and tone. Still, it amazed me just how much the book, its characters and story, had settled into my memory, so as the narrators moved through the text, it was more like a trip down memory lane than rereading. To be honest, it's actually one of my least favorite books in the series other than Dune Messiah. ![]() It's been many many years since the last time I read this particular Dune book. ![]() |
