![]() ![]() “Beautiful and accessible the English, as ‘fluid as melting ice,’ is a joy to read throughout.” ![]() ![]() His many books include the bestselling Tao Te Ching, Gilgamesh, and The Second Book of the Tao, as well as The Gospel According to Jesus, Bhagavad Gita, The Book of Job, and Meetings with the Archangel. Stephen Mitchell was born in Brooklyn in 1943, educated at Amherst, the Sorbonne, and Yale, and de-educated through intensive Zen practice. Historians debate whether Lao Tzu is a combination of multiple historical figures, a mythical figure, or an actual person. According to Chinese tradition, Lao Tzu lived in the 6th century BC. Lao Tzu was one of the great philosophers of ancient China, and is a central figure in Taoism. This rendering by eminent scholar Stephen Mitchell presents the Tao Te Ching as poetry, written with all the skill which Mitchell brought to his renowned translations of Rilke. Yet the clarity of the original has only rarely been captured. The Tao Te Ching is the most widely translated book in world literature, after the Bible. These lessons apply to all aspects of life, from government to love, from childrearing to ecology. It explains the Tao, or the basic principle of the universe, and teaches the reader how to work for good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao. In eighty-one brief chapters, the Tao Te Ching gives advice that imparts balance and perspective, along with a serene and generous spirit. Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching, or “Book of the Way,” is the classic manual on the art of living. ![]() ![]() SCHOLASTIC, SCHOLASTIC AUDIOBOOKS, and associated logos are trademarksĪnd/or registered trademarks of Scholastic Inc.

Catching each other's sparks until the flames grew, spread, raged beyond our control. ![]() ![]() There was never a time where I was bored or felt that it slowed down. The plot, conflict, and build-up was nicely employed throughout this book. ![]() When they finally come together, the reader is as fully invested in the romance as the leads because there was so much depth that had been created before they decided on making it a "forever" kind of love. The romance developed very felt natural and each moment built off of the previous. When Iris describes Dex you can't help but feel that his body language was screaming for her. Iris has her own story filled with heartache and tragedy, but OMG she's definitely got fight in her, and I loved that! Iris's thoughts are funny because she can be so crude and tends to hyper-focus on the feeling of throwing up or passing gas during stressful situations.a bit immature, but so funny! I liked the hero, Dex Locke, he had great sex appeal.masculine, brooding, moody, but very interested.I loved how Iris and Dex clashed at first, but that's where all of the body language came into play. The story is told through Iris's POV and she is an interesting character. ![]() This was a really fun and enjoyable audiobook! I thought Callie Dalton did a great job narrating and representing the heroine, Iris Taylor well. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He is easily persuaded by an urbane uncle to sell his daughter, Pari, to a wealthy, childless family in Kabul. After he re-marries, money gets even tighter as the humble village into which he was born falls further into agricultural and financial despair. Saboor is an impoverished farmer whose wife has died. The tale is the perfect setup for the rest of the book, which revolves around the unspeakable division of a sister and her brother. In it, a loving father tells his young son a traditional Afghan story in which a div, a mythical creature that steals human children, robs a humble farmer of his favorite son. ![]() Unfortunately, I think the first chapter is the best part of the book. The first chapter in And the Mountains Echoed is beautiful and left me very excited for what was to come. ![]() What, exactly, is going wrong? And if I were to go back and re-read The Kite Runner today, would it confirm several of the reservations I have about Khaled Hosseini’s writing?įirst, the story. It’s almost a good book, but several things get in its way. But part of that strange, unsettled feeling is back now that I’ve finished And the Mountains Echoed. I wondered if it was just me, since the book got mostly positive reviews. Then I read A Thousand Splendid Suns and came away with a funny feeling. When The Kite Runner came out several years ago, I read it immediately and loved it, as did millions of readers across the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() And it’s not long before he’s all over Charlie. Thorne is your average tough DI with a habit of drinking and a history that needs redeeming. Detective Tom Thorne understands Charlie completely. The curtain rises on his first successful execution of a difficult procedure: drugging his victims (the easy part), and then kind of massaging/suffocating them until the arteries to their brains split and produce a stroke that leaves them completely paralyzed, which is what has happened to Alison Willetts, Charlie’s first success after several botches and a wake of bodies. ![]() Newcomer Billingham debuts with a rote but easily digestible thriller, a British serial-killer tale that, we’re told, is already an international bestseller.Ĭharlie is a combination of Jack the Ripper and Jeffrey Dahmer: he’s got some pretty sophisticated medical know-how and he’s out to create zombies not for sex but for some whacked-out notion that he’s saving people. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thirteen years after that infamous Oprah interview, broadcast months after she had effusively praised Frey’s book and turned it into a phenomenon via her book blub, A Million Little Pieces has been adapted into a film. ![]() ![]() The most captivating element of its existence is the noise that surrounds it – the accusations that it was largely faked, despite being marketed as a memoir, the literary-world war of words over its editing, and the piercing, terrifying glare of Oprah Winfrey, who elegantly destroyed Frey on live television over his apparent betrayal. It is also the least fascinating thing about A Million Little Pieces. James Frey’s A Million Little Pieces is a sprawling and manic novel about addiction, survival and redemption. ![]() ![]() ![]() Described as a “contemporary Melrose Place,” the series follows Sydney, Ridge, and their friends as they “learn to navigate life and love, against the vibrant backdrop of Austin’s music scene. ![]() ![]() While attempting to navigate the low point, Sydney meets her mysterious neighbor and guitar player Ridge and his roommates.

AC Gaughen is the author of the Elementae series (Reign the Earth, Imprison the Sky) and the Scarlet trilogy (Scarlet, Lady Thief, Lion Heart). ![]() ![]() Of course we have seen similar stories in films before but it's the presentation and treatment that makes the difference and 'Nanny Mcphee' is nothing short of a delightfully amusing family film. Emma Thompson wonderfully writes the screenplay as there is not one moment where I felt that the film dragged. I also liked the symbolic representation of Nanny McPhee's physical transformation as she successfully managed to get the children to learn the lessons. What makes 'Nanny Mcphee' different is its sense of humour (that gives it its own charm and appeal) and the colourful world that it presents. The child actors are good in their parts and Kelly MacDonald has a nice screen presence. ![]() These actors make their characters unique. Her first novel, Death in High Heels, was published in 1941, followed by a series of successful crime novels and historical romance as well as much-loved children's books. It was great to see the one and only Angela Lansbury after a very long time, this time in a slightly villainous role. Then there are actors like Emma Thompson (superb), Colin Firth (great) and Imelda Staunton (hilarious) who hardly ever let down. The lavish sets and designs are incredibly hypnotic. It's colourful, extravagant, magical and funny. 'Loved how the spectacular world was created. Emma Thompson is a talented writer and she shows great understanding of children's imagination. There is a slight resemblance to 'Mary Poppins' but 'Nanny McPhee' is very much its own film. ![]() I thought it was just another one of those family films but I was impressed all through and surprised as to how much I enjoyed it. I was very pleasantly surprised by how 'Nanny McPhee' turned out. ![]() |
