In this rollicking, rollercoaster ride of a novel, Hap Collins and Leonard Pine take a break from their day jobs to search for Florida Grange, Leonard's drop-dead gorgeous lawyer and Hap's former lover, who has vanished in the Klan-infested East Texas town of Grovetown. Before she disappeared, Florida was digging up some dirt behind the mysterious jailhouse death of a legendary black bluesman's son, who was in possession of some priceless blues recordings. To Hap and Leonard, something doesn't smell right.

A good many chuckles here. Great fight scenes (Champion Joe thinks these out in realistic detail) and flood scenes recall Lansdale horror at it's best.

Many people believe that, at its core, biological sex is a fundamental, diverging force in our development. According to this familiar story, differences between the sexes are shaped by past evolutionary pressures - women are more cautious and parenting-focused, men seek status to attract more mates - re-created in each generation by sex hormones and male and female brains. This, in turn, is the basis of supposedly entrenched inequalities in our modern societies.

Terrific attack on dogmas of sex evolution. It should challenge some who fall into or build up edifices of over simplification. It may make enemies in all the right places. But study and think about the evidence in this book.

Though they are still newlyweds, they seem to have it all. You might not want to like them, but you do. You're hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their home, by the graciousness of the dinner parties they throw. You’d like to get to know Grace better.

Gripping read.
Revisado: 01-02-17
The story is paced without any weighting-down description. One theme might be that some dominance relationships can be fought with lonely courage but may find quiet alliances among those who have knowledge or insight. All the characters including the emprisoner and the sister (a Downs syndrome adolescent) have a quick understanding of the concealed truth, so application of cunning is insufficient. Reading is tops.

From the best-selling author of Atonement, Nutshell is a classic story of murder and deceit, told by a narrator with a perspective and voice unlike any in recent literature. A bravura performance, it is the finest recent work from a true master. To be bound in a nutshell, see the world in two inches of ivory, in a grain of sand. Why not, when all of literature, all of art, of human endeavour is just a speck in the universe of possible things?

The speaker is uniquely situated to learn all about a contemplated fratricide. The speaker has a cynical attitudes toward modern materialism and sometimes seems unhappy that he is not a co-conspirator. His is also a ghost story.

Meditations is former U.S. President Bill Clinton's favorite book. This audio consists of a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor 161-180 AD, setting forth his ideas on Stoic philosophy.

Reading a difficult text.
Revisado: 04-26-15
I admit less enjoyment in reading the Meditations than many other 'stoical' writings. it lacks formal argument. This is mainly because it is more like a list of do's and don't addressed by one person to himself. So any thought tangent or not that accomplishes this self-schooling is all the argument that is needed. Nonetheless my jaw drops open at the non sequiturs abounding in these pages and indeed at the world view that can embrace for example the idea that it is impious to be wracked with pain. The reading is soft befitting the intimacy of the setting. However the reader occasionally muffs the structure of longer sentences leaving confusing emphases and giving the performance a unpracticed feel. I still seek a more arched reading, one that takes on a stronger persona and attacks the work's repetitiousness as would befit strong imperial proclivities.

Charles Dickens possessed an uncanny ability to capture the imagination of his audience. Many of his readers were new to fiction mainly due to a rise in literacy rates during the industrial revolution. His overwhelming popularity was due largely to his extraordinary power of observation, fantastic wit, unforgettable characters, and an absolute command of the English language second only to that of Shakespeare.

All Dickens readings should be as drammatic as this one! Each of the many characters is given a distinctive voice, accent, delivery. The whole Dickens would have applauded--a drammatic interpretation he is famous for having given in his own readings.

On the day Lizzie came back from the dead, the police and her family and neighbors had already begun to search for her body. She had been missing for three days. Never an articulate child, between her confusion and amnesia she could not plausibly describe where she'd been or why she'd been away. Soon after, a convicted pedophile is released back into the community, adding to the already heightened fears of parents in the Muriel Campden Estate where he lives. Then the child of a wealthy executive disappears, and not long after, a suspect in the kidnapping is found stabbed to death.
