![]() ![]() It is evident that Andy and Dougie's friendship (which adults are afraid of) is not what it seems to be at first: not only is Andy absent when Dougie needs him most, he pressures Dougie into stalking a classmate, Mellisa Haverman, and making a bomb threat via the telephone. They discuss everything - except for what happened at the Tuttle Place three years ago. Athletic, popular Andy is very different from socially inept Dougie, yet the two find what to talk about. ![]() There are 2 things that help Dougie - Douglas MacArthur Hanson - deal with his feelings of loneliness and isolation: the model railroad he's building out of matches, and the nightly talks with his best (and only) friend, Andy Morrow. "Invisible" is a novel by Pete Hautman detailing a 17-year-old boy's battle with his inner demons and his descent into insanity. ![]() ![]() Recounting memorable episodes from "Bart the Genius" to "Homer3," Singh brings alive intriguing and meaningful mathematical concepts-ranging from the mathematics of pi and the paradox of infinity to the origin of numbers and the most profound outstanding problems that haunt today's generation of mathematicians. "Simon Singh, author of the bestsellers Fermat's Enigma, The Code Book, and The Big Bang, offers fascinating new insights into the celebrated television series The Simpsons: That the show drip-feeds morsels of number theory into the minds of its viewers-indeed, that there are so many mathematical references in the show, and in its sister program, Futurama, that they could form the basis of an entire university course. Los Simpson y las matemáticas es un libro para amantes de la disciplina, para seguidores de la serie, y, muy especialmente, para aquellos que quieran adentrarse en la disciplina de una forma divertida y amena." - publisher's or seller's website. Los conceptos más sencillos hasta complejas paradojas, la serie ha recorrido en sus más de veinte años en antena, todas las ramas de las matemáticas. Ya en su episodio piloto, Bart, el genio, aparece una sutil broma sobre ecuaciones diferenciales. ![]() "Aunque muchos han tratado de encontrar enseñanzas filosóficas, psicológicas o incluso literarias en Los Simpson, lo cierto es que si hay una disciplina por la que sus guionistas sientes devoción, esa es las matemáticas. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you are having trouble finding the link to add a new thread, try this.

Fought hard to keep her pacing wolf from losing her shit. It worked, but Ally had fought hard not to show it. Placing her in a small room, bare except for three chairs and a desk, was obviously supposed to increase her discomfort and make her wolf feel trapped and isolated. Shifters didn’t do well with enclosed spaces. She knew why they had left her alone for so long. For at least an hour the enforcers had kept her detained in an empty room of the pack house before finally joining her, only to look at her as though she were a perfect stranger as opposed to one of their pack mates. ![]() Nothing like being accused of attempted murder to complete a girl’s Friday evening.Īlyssa “Ally” Marshall kept her expression carefully blank as she stared at the two wolf shifters sitting across from her. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sifting through arguments about nature versus nurture, Solomon finds some startling moments of discovery, for example, among Deaf activists who ferociously cling to their marginality, parents of children with Down syndrome who express their children’s infinite “mystery and beauty,” and the truculent compassion of Dylan Klebold’s parents, 10 years after the Columbine High School shootings. ![]() A seasoned journalist and LGBT activist, Solomon relies on anecdotes to convey the herculean tasks facing parents and caregivers of special-needs children because “stories acknowledge chaos,” and he takes great pains to probe the dark side of parental despair and anger, as well as ennobling efforts of resilience and strength. ![]() These children are marginalized by society, classified traditionally as ill and abnormal, and shunned in the cases of those who are deaf or homosexual, they were forced to conform to mainstream strictures. A profoundly moving new work of research and narrative by National Book Award–winner Solomon (The Noonday Demon) explores the ways that parents of marginalized children-being gay, dwarf, severely disabled, deaf, autistic, schizophrenic, the product of rape, or given to criminal tendencies or prodigious musical talent, to name a few he chose-have been transformed and largely enriched by caring for their high-needs children. ![]() ![]() ![]() Problems or missing/noisy data, biases of eras of historiography etc are deftly discussed. ![]() ![]() Introduction is an excellent apologia for shortcomings of historical research methodology. Our pandemic so far has been paradise by comparison. The 14th century is the right shit show to compare too. This is the rare history book that is so engrossing it’s competing and winning against the Terry Pratchett I’m reading (Maskerade) for bedtime escapist relaxation. Next pandemic live read, Barbara Tuchman, A Distant Mirror, a history of the 14th century through the life of a single minor nobleman whose life was coextensive with the main events, especially the Black Death. ![]() I have a bunch of threads on Twitter that are probably suitable for this sort of light-touch blogification. I’ve linked a selection of those to these notes.Īside: if you like this format, let me know. This is also a book that benefits from a lot of Wikipedia bunnytrailing on the side, and I found myself doing a lot of reading about characters and events mentioned in passing. I was going to try and reshape my live-tweeting into an actual longform review/summary, but people seemed to like the live/fresh feel of the livetweeting, so I decided to just clean up and post the thread here as notes, with some light editing, linking, and addition of a few post-twitter. ![]() ![]() Parker attended the University of Florida at Gainesville. Parker himself was a tall, lean runner in college, standing 6'4" and weighing about 162 pounds, with a best time of 4:06 for the mile. ![]() Once A Runner is loosely based on Parker's college experience. While neither book ever acquired literary acclaim, Parker-and Quenton Cassidy-achieved a cult following among readers in the running community. 2015's "Racing the Rain" recounts Cassidy's early years. After taking a break from running, he begins training again in earnest trying to recapture the feeling and the glory of the past, this time through long-distance running. In "Again to Carthage," ten years have passed for Cassidy. He trains in private hoping to compete in disguise. In "Once a Runner" Cassidy is a college athlete who is suspended from school and prohibited from competing in his university's track meets. Thirty years later Parker follows the career of Cassidy in a second book Again to Carthage, published in late 2007. ![]() ![]() Ĭassidy, a passionate, obsessive runner, is first introduced in Once A Runner, published in 1978. The trilogy chronicles the struggles of Quenton Cassidy, a middle-distance runner. (born 1947) is an American writer and the author of the cult classic novel Once A Runner and the more recently published Again to Carthage and Racing the Rain. ![]() ![]() ![]() Because war is “at least in part, a contest for meaning,” King Phillip’s War was about defining identity-for both sides (xxxi). Ultimately, she argues that “wounds and words-the injuries and their interpretation-cannot be separated, that acts of war generate acts of narration, and that both types of acts are often joined in a common purpose: defining the geographical, political, cultural, and sometimes racial and national boundaries between peoples” (x). She asks what this war meant, how it was fought, how it was understood, and how it was remembered by both sides. In this “study of war,” Lepore examines the conflict between colonists, American “Indians” 1 that razed English colonies and ravaged Indian-English relations. The first words of Jill Lepore’s The Name of War work surprisingly well as an introduction to a review on the very same book. “ This is a study of war, and how people write about it” (ix). The Name of War: King Phillip’s War and the Origins of American Identity. ![]() ![]() ![]() (No romance there, just friendly sparring – Cary is bisexual, so there’s opportunity for some interesting sex scenes there). Eva isn’t short of money either, and lives in a nice apartment with her friend Cary. Her mother is way overprotective (she tracks Eva’s mobile phone!), beyond what is reasonable. The book starts off as Eva gets a job in New York City and is ready to start an adult life, leaving the demons of her past behind. ![]() It’s not that this book is poorly written, it’s just that the sex/argument/sex/argument thing got a bit boring for me over time. This is just not my kind of read, but others (particularly those who enjoyed Fifty Shades of Grey or other books with super alpha male heroes) will like it. I swear, this book seemed to go on forever. Unfortunately I was pretty short on time, so I decided to listen to Bared to You (the first book in the Crossfire series) in the car instead. Seeing as I was going to a convention where Sylvia Day was present, I thought I should try reading one of her novels. Why I chose it: Something I haven’t read before, the gossip was that this was way better than 50 Shades. ![]() ![]() The not-so-good: It’s sparring/sex/sparring/sex etc. The good: It’s well written and Jill Redfield is fantastic as narrator (I bet she doesn’t blush at anything!). In brief: Eva moves to New York City, and multimillionaire Gideon immediate falls for her, starting a relationship brimming with angst, pain and possibly love… ![]() |
