The Archives of Sherlock Holmes. 60 investigations. One legend. A timeless voice.More than just a detective, Sherlock Holmes is a living enigma. Created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle at the end of the 19th century, he continues to fascinate more than a century later. Why? Because his cold intelligence, his powers of observation, and his taste for the irrational hidden beneath the rational still resonate with our times. He is the ancestor of the profiler, the model for the hacker, the poet of logic.In The Archives of Sherlock Holmes, rediscover all 60 original investigations in English, narrated ...

I’m secretly pregnant. With a vampire’s child. And the fate of an entire city depends on me. We've got to rescue Leo and retake the Heart of the Morning artifact. And we'll need to trick Darian Vex to do it—but he’s not the kind of monster who forgives. He'll want revenge. The final battle is coming. The man I love would die to protect me and our child. The Heart of the Morning—an ancient artifact I alone can wield—has chosen me, the Bloodlight, to decide the fate of them all. This time, I decide who lives… and who turns to ash.

On episode 89 of The Charles C. W. Cooke Podcast, Charles talks to Christopher J. Scalia about his new book, 13 Novels Conservatives Will Love (but Probably Haven't Read). Among the topics they discussed were: Why haven't conservatives read these books? Why should people read novels? Are these books 'conservative' or just books that conservatives will like? What are the best books progressives will love? Why aren't people reading novels any more? And does the lack of a shared literary canon help explain why we're so divided as a country?The dial-up tone in the introduction was recorded by ...

Introduction As a psychotherapist, I’ve worked with many people who came to me shortly after their lives had crashed. Everything was going great until the sudden heart attack, divorce, or death of a child. If not for that life-jarring event, they would never have thought to see a therapist, because they felt successful. After the event they can’t find the same drive or determination. Their former goals of having big houses or reputations have lost their meaning. They feel at sea and vulnerable in a way that’s unfamiliar and scary.

The purpose of this study is to understand how a new medium (Facebook) is used by Twilight literature fans and how users are gratified through their use of the new medium. Fans are categorized in one of two forms (consumer-fans and producer-fans) and a two by two matrix is developed to categorize these two fan types. In relation to media, the age of a targeted audience determines the content. It has however become a blurred line in literature and film, in which case content that was intended for a younger audience is attracting the attention of an older audience (and vice versa).

Science fiction and fantasy comprise some of the great works of the human imagination—and some of the most abhorrent. This is your Politically Incorrect Guide® to a literary tradition that is a key to understanding the modern world.

Feeling more confident about finding the right reads is a common bookish goal. In today's conversation, Anne welcomes Tynisha Coleman to the show to talk about her current reading goals. Tynisha is a leadership development coach, university lecturer, and sci-fi and fantasy lover from New Jersey. She doesn't shy away from books that tackle tough plot points, which often feature in the emotionally resonant books she loves. But she does expect these trickier developments to serve a sense of purpose to the plot, and she'd like to avoid reading experiences that send her into the depths of despair. ...

The roots of today's environmental catastrophe run deep into humanity's past. Through this unprecedented reading of Homer's Iliad, the award-winning classicist Edith Hall examines how this foundational text both documents the environmental practices of the ancient Greeks and betrays an awareness of the dangers posed by the destruction of the natural landscape. Underlying Homer's account of brutal military operations, alliances, and cataclysmic struggle is a palpable understanding that the direction in which humanity was headed could create a world that was uninhabitable.

Acclaimed Irish novelist Colm Tóibín first read James Baldwin just after turning eighteen. He had completed his first year at an Irish university and was struggling to free himself from a religious upbringing. Inspired by the novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, Tóibín found a writer who would be a lifelong companion and exemplar.

George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. He seemed distracted, looking out over the rail and staring at... nothing. Only George knew what he was looking at... the memory of a beautiful woman, walking naked on the beach. But he said nothing. He just stared. So, the rest of the crew looked out over the rail and stared. Nobody noticed the British Navy frigate closing in from the other side. However, as they approached, they saw the pirates all staring, and they too stared that way.. No shots were fired, and the ships slowly drifted apart.

George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. Write a list of all the things that come to mind when you think of the word pirate. George is none of those. Not a single one of them. Unless, of course, you are crazy. Then, I'm sure George will be a few of the things on your list. So will a cockroach, a bowl potato salad, the Planet Neptune, and the smell of freshly-washed bedsheets. Yes, you can read more George stories. Would you like to draw me a picture of George? Okay. Here's a crayon. Go ahead.

George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. He was good to animals, though. He didn't eat meat, and avoided products that exploited animals, such as milk or cheese. His clothes were all natural fibers like hemp, not leather. When he wasn't out at sea, he volunteered at a sanctuary for parrots that had been rescued from cruel pirates. Rehabilitating as many as he could back into the wild, while caring for those who were too injured or domesticated to go back to their natural habitat. "George is a good pirate!" sang the chorus of happy birds.

George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. CNN's Jeanne Moos did a profile on George, but made him out to be a complete assclown of a pirate. George was furious. "I do not fall overboard that often," he growled. "And I only dropped my cutlass twice." He filed a complaint, which the network ignored. So, George took a CNN crew hostage and demanded a ransom and retraction. "Go ahead, kill them," said the CNN executives. "They're worthless." George posted their callous response on Facebook. And the executives complained how unethical George was for exposing their inhumanity.
