First of all, it’s about twice as long as it needs to be. To be certain, a Heinlein story where four interesting characters experience an adventure into Barsoom and Wonderland and Oz and also meet up with some classic Heinlein characters like Lazarus Long and Jubal Harshaw sounds like a great story and much of it is … but.Īs much of a fan as I am, I cannot help but apply the damning tag of self-indulgent. Heinlein’s earlier works, generally classified as his “juveniles” published from 1947 until the late 50s, may be confused and disappointed by his 1980 novel Number of the Beast.Īlso, those familiar with and inspired by his middle period, roughly late 1950s until 1970, spanning the publications of The Door Into Summer in 1957 until I Will Fear No Evil in 1970 (the period that I regard as his zenith) may likely be nonplussed by what is going on in this work published when the grandmaster was 73 years old. Then the vampire shit starts!Ī vampire? Are you kidding me? I couldn't believe it. The story is spun out slowly, in a series of flashbacks. The handsome young man is in a mental hospital. Who is this guy she's still obsessed with? Her father? Her brother? Her first love? Whoever he is, he's still on her mind. She's still basically writing about the same character: handsome young man difficult childhood no parental figures lives rough and takes care of himself gruff, but with a good heart. She was all grown up when she wrote this one, so I don't know what her excuse is. Hinton some slack, as she wrote The Outsiders when she was 16. I appreciate it for what it is, but I can see its faults too. Ok, I am no longer under any illusion that The Outsiders is great literature.

Set in a world of goblin wars, stag-sized battle ravens, and assassins who kill with deadly tattoos, Christopher Buehlman's The Blacktongue Thief begins a 'dazzling' (Robin Hobb) fantasy adventure unlike any other. Along with his firsthand knowledge of the text and how he means it to be conveyed, Buehlman uses nuance, inflection, and a casual way of saying outrageous things to continually tickle the funny bone." - AudioFile Magazine "This irreverent fantasy is narrated superbly by author Christopher Buehlman. It’s a practical successor to his previous book “Goodbye Things”, but you don’t need to read that book on minimalism to find utility out of this one – it stands on its own and quite well. (Call me ambitious, but the last few years have been ones where I’ve fallen off my usual levels of productivity, so it made sense to pick up some resources to help feed the well, so to speak.) This particular book was an ambitious project since Sasaki mentions that he wanted to compile everything he learned about creating and sticking to habits in one book. I say that my reading of this was timely since I told myself that I wanted to get a jump start on creating some new habits and routines for next year (2022) a couple of months before. I not only own the physical hardcover but I also listened to the audiobook version included in my Audible subscription. “Hello Habits: A Minimalist’s Guide to a Better Life” was a timely read for me. The Vegetarian is a story in three acts: the first shows us Yeong-hye’s decision and her family’s reaction the second focuses on her brother-in-law, an unsuccessful artist who becomes obsessed with her body the third on In-hye, the manager of a cosmetics store, trying to find her own way of dealing with the fallout from the family collapse. (What happens when they have to go to dinner with his boss? And his wife not even wearing a bra any more! What will people think?) Her sister, In-hye, struggles with her sense of familial responsibility, while learning that, even when a family member is in trouble, there is only so much others can do. Her husband is frustrated at this complication in his meticulously uncomplicated life, and can’t help thinking it’s all about him. Other people are dragged in, other relationships fray and Yeong-hye’s vow to remain vegetarian is the one constant in a family disintegrating before our eyes. |
