I’d had three dates and no lovers since I met The Great MM. Now I was wondering, when I had what could possibly be the world’s greatest lover visiting me in the dead of night, how I’d move onto someone else. I always wondered what was with me, I didn’t tell him to go. I didn’t need Ginger dragging me into her situations.Īnd lastly, I was thinking about my Mystery Man. I didn’t want to be on anyone’s radar and I made enough situations for myself, being half my mother’s daughter. He also said I could get onto “others” radar and get into “situations”. But my sister owed him over two million dollars and he was scary. Okay, so he thought I was cute and another bonus was that I knew his name and he knew mine (which, Mystery Man, by the way, did not know). With Mystery Man in my life I didn’t need the trouble that Tack had written on him. He didn’t come every night, sometimes it was once a week, sometimes twice, sometimes he’d skip a week, once he’d been gone for three which freaked me out and then it freaked me out that it freaked me out. How he got in was as much a mystery as his name.

Allegedly, it's a recently discovered first draft of To Kill a Mockingbird, but I'm suspicious: It reads much more like a failed sequel. Go Set a Watchman is a troubling confusion of a novel, politically and artistically, beginning with its fishy origin story. Now 72 and crippled by arthritis, he's still a wry patriarch, but in one of the novel's key scenes - set, as in To Kill a Mockingbird, in Maycomb's courthouse - Atticus allies himself with the kind of men who several years later stood shoulder to shoulder with Bull Connor and George Wallace. Others, like Calpurnia, look at Scout, here called by her grown-up name of "Jean Louise," as though she were, well, a white lady.Īnd then there's Atticus. TV and air-conditioning have changed the landscape, and beloved childhood friends like Dill and her brother Jem have vanished. How?Īs another Southern writer once said, "You can't go home again." In Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman, which takes place in the mid-1950s, a 26-year-old Scout Finch takes the train from New York City home to Maycomb, Ala., and finds the familiar world turned mighty strange.

Close overlay Buy Featured Book Title Go Set a Watchman Author Harper Lee Lewis’s ideal of “mere Christianity” find it difficult to put into practice, especially in the face of entrenched theological and denominational divides. These principles are central to the work of groups like the Lausanne Movement, Evangelicals and Catholics Together, the Reforming Catholic Confession, and the Center for Baptist Renewal (where I serve as editorial director). Without compromising their core convictions, they want to build bridges with a range of churches and Christian organizations around the world, joining together in mission wherever possible. Other believers take a friendlier view of conciliatory language. For some, they represent a potential threat to the mission of the church or even the gospel itself. (“Catholicity” is another.) Critics say these words represent a weak or thin theology-one whose core conviction is that convictions don’t much matter provided we can all get along. In certain circles of evangelicalism, these are dirty words. Category: Science Fiction & Fantasy ISBN/EAN: 9780749955229.

Ahmed writes a really good Rhino and I couldn’t help wishing that he could give us a Rhino mini-series someday down the road. After that, it was action, action, action!!! First up was Rhino and I always get a kick out of him anyway, but the connection from earlier in the run makes him even better in this book. It was done in a really clever way and only took three panels to get there! I wish some other writers would take some notes from Saladin Ahmed. We begin our issue with a quick recap of what got us here. I really would like more of the new villain, Ultimatum, so I have my fingers crossed as we dive into this week’s issue. Last we saw of Miles, he and his Uncle were trying to figure out how to get across the city to safety while everyone…and their uncle tries to kill them! While that sounds like fun right there, I keep finding myself needing a little more out of each issue by the time I put it down. Artist: Javier Garron, Kevin Libranda, and Alitha E. Watch Michael Pollan talk about his research in this fascinating presentation. Those few works on the topic that have broken out and reached a more mainstream audience over the last 60 years or so have tended not to be-to put it mildly-the most grounded and sober examples of the genre.”īelow is an excerpt from the book’s prologue, courtesy of Penguin Press. “Many books have been penned about various aspects of psychedelics (scientific, medical, cultural, anthropological) over the decades, some of them excellent, but their readership has, for the most part, been limited to hard-core ‘psychonautic’ subcultures. “Steady sanity, sensitivity and centeredness make Michael Pollan the ideal candidate to explore the highly contentious but re-emergent topic of the potential value of psychedelic drugs, which he has done in his newest tome,” writes Bioneers’ J.P. Well-known for his research, talks, and best-selling writings on food, its effects on the body, and its place in society, Pollan enters new territory with How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence (Penguin Press, 2018). Perhaps no author is better positioned to bring that renaissance into the homes of millions of readers than Michael Pollan. Psychedelics are experiencing a historic renaissance of serious research into the science behind how they work and their potential healing powers.

It will also feature exclusive, extra content like sketches and art by some of the most creative artists in the business today. Don’t miss out on this.īATTLEPUG: COMPUGDIUM will include all five volumes of Norton’s original fantasy/humor series together for the first time. It adds all the fun and silliness of the best fantasy role-playing campaigns to the adorableness of a giant warrior pug. I’m such a big fan of this that I interviewed Norton not once but twice about the series. An omnibus collecting the entire dog-loving series arrives early next year from Image Comics. |
