All He Saw Was The Girl by Peter Leonard5/13/2023 Two American exchange students in Italy, McCabe & Chip, become involved with a street gang. This novel is a fast read full of suspense, humor, and action, it is a worthwhile read. I really enjoyed the descriptions of Italy, some of the parts were almost like reading a tour guide and the world famous attractions jumped off the pages. There are several main characters but the author does a fine job flowing from one to the other. The personalities involved are entertaining and the storyline is intriguing. The characters in the story are realistic and well written. The chapters alternates between the two stories until they meet. My Rating for All He Saw Was The Girl - 4īuy this book in paper or electornic format*Īll He Saw Was The Girl by Peter Leonard is a fast, thrilling suspense story which weaves two parallel storylines in the US and Italy.

Closing time by joe queenan5/13/2023 Queenan père, his son recounts, was brutal and mean, no credit to any 12-step program. He became a man of letters, but even after he achieved his dream (“to make a living by ridiculing people”) he was still haunted by a lifelong enemy-his father. Scrambling out of the proletariat, Queenan discovered art, music and Paris. Further forming his persona were various part-time jobs, including the midnight shift at a bubblegum mill. He found surrogate fathers, first in a colorful dry-goods merchant who ran a kind of urban emporium, replete with picaresque clientele, next in an oddball apothecary. So it was on to Catholic high school, then a Catholic college. At 13, the besieged lad believed he had an ecclesiastical vocation, but after one year at Maryknoll Junior Seminary he abandoned the cloth. Queenan and his sisters couldn’t wait to vacate their hostile family encampments on the wrong side of the Schuylkill River. The youngster’s life was one of ongoing deprivation and off-brand merchandise in various tatterdemalion parishes. Mom was a terrible cook, and Father was a terrible drunk. The Queenan family, never in the chips, had a hardscrabble life in the scruffy Irish-American precincts of the City of Brotherly Love. The waggish blue-collar Philly scribe ( Queenan Country: A Reluctant Anglophile’s Pilgrimage to the Mother Country, 2004, etc.) ornaments his tough-childhood memoir with the sort of fancy writing natural to authors of Hibernian extraction.

Orhan pamuk books5/13/2023 Reading is looking at words and imaginging them. "I argue in my book that a good novelist is both naive and sentimental at the same time. Meanwhile, in his just released book of essays Pamuk draws on German poet and playwright Friedrich Schiller's famous distinctinon between "naive" poets -who write spontaneoulsy, unselconsiously - and sentimental poets: those who are reflective, emotional, questioning and alive to the artifice of the written word. When asked about what his true love was Pamuk responded with a grin, "I have secrets too but there are some secrets that everybody knows." The interviewer pointed to Desai and said, "The secret is sitting in the first row." The author who has previously acknowledged Booker winner Indian writer Kiran Desai as his companion and dedicated his new book to her did not want to speak much about their relationship. His latest book is a collection of literary essays from the Charels Eliot Norton lectures he delivered at Harvard in 2009. Pamuk, the author of Snow, My Name is Red, The Museum of Innocence and other works was awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature. I prefer to write about Turkey only," the 58-year-old Turkish writer said during an interaction programme in the capital last evening to launch his new book The Naive and The Sentimental Novelist, published by Penguin India. "I will stay in Turkey, more so in Istanbul.

Butts by Heather Radke5/13/2023 A woman's butt, in particular, is forever being assessed, criticized, and objectified, from anxious self-examinations trying on jeans in department store dressing rooms to enduring crass remarks while walking down a street or high school hallways. It is a body part unique to humans, critical to our evolution and survival, and yet it has come to signify so much more: sex, desire, comedy, shame. Whether we love them or hate them, think they're sexy, think they're strange, consider them too big, too small, or anywhere in between, humans have a complicated relationship with butts. " Winning, cheeky, and illuminating….What appears initially as a folly with a look-at-this cover and title becomes, thanks to Radke's intelligence and curiosity, something much meatier, entertaining, and wise." – The Washington Post "Lively and thorough, Butts is the best kind of nonfiction." - Esquire, Best Books of 2022 So Far A "carefully researched and reported work of cultural history" ( The New York Times ) that explores how one body part has come to mean so much-now one of the most anticipated books of 2022.

Thunder below eugene fluckey5/13/2023 All strove for personal excellence, and success became contagious. Each team helped develop innovative ideas, new tactics, and new strategies. The unique story of the Barb begins with its men, who had the confidence to become unbeatable. And in a fascinating twist, he uses archival documents from the Japanese Navy to give its version of events. Fluckey has drawn on logs, reports, letters, interviews, and a recently discovered illegal diary kept by one of his torpedomen. This is a gripping adventure chock-full of "you-are-there" moments. At the same time, the Barb did far more than merely sink ships-she changed forever the way submarines stalk and kill their prey. Under the leadership of her fearless skipper, Captain Gene Fluckey, the Barb sank the greatest tonnage of any American sub in World War II. The thunderous roar of exploding depth charges was a familiar and comforting sound to the crew members of the USS Barb, who frequently found themselves somewhere between enemy fire and Davy Jones's locker.

It will end like this by kyra leigh5/13/2023 They’ve been told that their mother’s heart has suddenly stopped, found lying on the beach. As Charlotte gets more depressed and sadder, Maddi gets more furious, impatient. You can feel their inner screams throughout their perspectives. This is not modern retelling of Borden murders but this is a remarkable and interesting story about loss, grief, madness, dysfunctional family issues, estrangement with lots of mean girls and dislikable characters!Īctually only characters you can connect and feel sorry for Charlotte and Maddi. The book’s opening quote from Borden, references to Helter Skelter already picked my interest as a modern approach to the mind of a killer. Well,well, well since I attended the murder house tour in Salem/ Boston where Lizzie Borden’s poor dad and stepmother have been butchered ( probably by her even though she has gotten acquitted) for my documentary project I have truly scared and pulled the plug my entire work indefinitely! But my obsession about reading true crime stories and have a great need to see the events from the perspective of the killer never ended!
