![]() ![]() ![]() They have become “manic information addicts” as Andrew Sullivan puts it. However, the majority of people have blown so far past the “helpful” mark that they can’t even see it anymore, and are now dangerously into “toxic” territory. Modern technology, most specifically smart phones, can offer great benefit to our lives when used in the proper dosage. It only takes a small amount of something highly toxic to have dire consequences, and at the same time you can also essentially poison yourself with water if you drink too much of it. There is a saying that “dose makes the poison” which I believe to be true. These words were spoken by Bill Maher on on his HBO show Real Times and I have to say I was hooked from there on. Wow – what a concise, powerful message to appear so early in the book (page 9 for those who enjoy keeping track). “Checking your ‘likes’ is the new smoking.” ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you would like to mask a potential spoiler, use the following format: (/spoiler)Īll times in ET (EST/EDT) unless otherwise noted.

She comes upon a wolf pack, and in desperation, determines that her life depends on the pack accepting her and helping her survive. ![]() In Part I of this short book, Miyax (called Julie in English), decides to run away and stay with a pen-pal in San Francisco, but gets lost without sufficient food on the North Slope of Alaska. This is a great “issues” book for middle graders, first published in 1972 (and reprinted many times thereafter), about a 13-year-old Eskimo girl who must learn to adjust to a reality increasingly tangled up between the old world of traditions and the new world of the gussaks, or white-faced people. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() His attempt to solve the tape’s mystery before it’s too late-for everyone-assumes an increasingly deadly urgency. A hardworking journalist, intrigued by his niece’s inexplicable death, launches his own personal investigation. His investigation leads him from a metropolitan Tokyo teeming with modern society’s fears to a rural Japan-a mountain resort, a volcanic island, and a countryside clinic-haunted by the past. Exactly one week after watching the tape, four teenagers die one after another of heart failure. In RING, A mysterious videotape warns that the viewer will die in one week unless a certain, unspecified act is performed. ( Scroll down or click here for details on the whole series.) The basis for several adaptions in manga, film, and TV, the Japanese mystery horror novel RING was written by Koji Suzuki and published in 1991. ![]() ![]() Then they told stories about their own forebears: legends of half remembered heroes of ancient times, or of ordinary people whose lives were changed by some mystery or who performed some great deed.’ The Crystal Pool is the fourth of Geraldine McCaughrean’s glorious collections of such myths and legends.

I think part of what makes the Troubles and 68 in general so overwhelming and difficult to comprehend is the inability to reduce the events to a set of clear definitions, and any attempts to explain the events of 68 in terms of “this” vs. War and an Irish Town demonstrates that the Troubles were not simply a battle of Catholics vs Protestants, and yet most people generally understand the conflict in those simplistic terms. I think this fixation on different colors and this historical framing that pits one against the other reveals the human tendency to reduce complex situations to easily digestible stereotypes of opposing forces. Hearing this week from Eamonn McCann, I was struck by the truth of his statement that “history is painted in primary colors.” For example, the Troubles in Northern Ireland is often described as the battle between the orange (unionists) and the green (nationalists). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He reread The Enchanter, and termed it “precise and lucid”, but left it alone suggesting that eventually "the Nabokovs" could translate it. However, he recovered it later in Ithaca in 1959, at a time he had already published Lolita. Nabokov showed it to just a few people, and then lost the manuscript in the process of coming to America and believed that he had destroyed it. The story deals with the hebephilia of the protagonist and thus is linked to and presages the Lolita theme. Its original Russian version became available in 1991. After his death, his son Dmitri translated the novella into English in 1986 and it was published the following year. ![]() Nabokov never published it during his lifetime. As Волшебник (Volshebnik) it was his last work of fiction written in Russian.
