![]() ![]() ![]() This book isn't very long, it just doesn't doesn't have a very good climax or turning point.or maybe it's just not memorable. I don't even remember why the friends finally agreed to come over to his house after such a long time of avoiding it. I remember about three things that happened during that visit and then the rest of the book is lost on me. The reader finds out just how well lived in Sloth's house is when his friends come for a visit and a meal. Sloth is ok with these surroundings, but when he hears of a friend's birthday party being planned just below his window, he wonders why his friends never want to spend time at his house. Sloth lives in a tree in a comfortable, well lived in, yet cluttered home. The story didn't stick with me before and it really isn't sticking with me now. ![]() I found this older book about 6 years ago and I think I've only read it one other time before pulling it off my shelf for my birthday this year. ![]()

Demented and out-of-his-freaking mind, but handsome nonetheless. For being in his late forties, he was still a looker. I sat back against the chair in his office and took in the silvering hair on his head, his smooth, unlined face and the Houston Pipers polo shirt he had on. “I need you, Sal,” Coach Gardner, the man who was asking the impossible of me, insisted.

While this book takes place during summer, there’s this feel of fall in the air and again, I can’t help but think autumn thoughts while reading. I obtained Compulsion at a luncheon hosted by Simon & Schuster at BEA and honestly, it probably would have languished in my TBR pile for some time, had I not been invited to join the Mundie Moms tour - and what a tragedy that would have been! Seriously, I am all for books that put me in a seasonal sort of mood. ![]() It’s a cover that actually makes me feel simultaneously peaceful and longing for a pumpkin spice latte, although I will admit it does not take much to trigger that pumpkin spice longing. When I look at the cover of Martina Boone’s YA debut, Compulsion, I immediately think of autumn what with the orange color scheme and all of the leaves on the cover. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Here in short spellbinding essays are glimpses of the tumultuous life that led Angelou to an exalted place in American letters and taught her lessons in compassion and fortitude: how she was brought up by her indomitable grandmother in segregated Arkansas, taken in at thirteen by her more worldly and less religious mother, and grew to be an awkward, six-foot-tall teenager whose first experience of loveless sex paradoxically left her with her greatest gift, a son. Told in her own inimitable style, this book transcends genres and categories: guidebook, memoir, poetry, and pure delight.

I pay my rent podcasting about X-Men continuity, which should be a pretty good indication of both how much of it there is, and how confusing readers find it. ![]() It’s complicated - clones, time travel, and retcons galore - but it’s also just really, really big. The Internet has brought with it the possibility of previously near-impossible completism, and with it, the overwhelming implicit weight of years of continuity and the necessity of “catching up” before you dive in.Īmong the already forbiddingly convoluted worlds of shared-universe superhero franchises, X-Men continuity is legendary for its density.

As global demand for Africa’s resources rises, a handful of Africans are becoming legitimately rich but the vast majority, like the continent as a whole, is being fleeced. ![]() The looting now is accelerating as never before. This catastrophic social disintegration is not merely a continuation of Africa’s past as a colonial victim. ![]() The ground beneath their feet is as precarious as a Congolese mine shaft their prosperity could spill away like crude from a busted pipeline. And the vagaries of resource-dependent economies could pitch Africa’s new middle class back into destitution just as quickly as they climbed out of it. The oil, copper, diamonds, gold and coltan deposits attract a global network of traders, bankers, corporate extractors and investors who combine with venal political cabals to loot the states’ value. ![]() In his first book, The Looting Machine, Tom Burgis exposes the truth about the African development miracle: for the resource states, it’s a mirage. ![]() ![]() Something he saw with his eyes - his eyes could be closed or covered, or there could be walls If theyĮver traveled through a particular place, Rigg could tell where they had gone.
