X men hickman6/7/2023 ![]() ![]() After a fateful meeting with Doctor Strange, Wyn hints at something even bigger than the forces of good and evil, where the very building blocks of creation scheme and clash.

The 39 steps john buchan6/7/2023 ![]() ![]() Hannay welcomes the diversion and agrees to let Scudder hide out there. After three months he is bored out of his mind and is considering going back to Africa when adventure comes knocking. A neighbour called Scudder barges into his rooms with an incredible tale of espionage and assassination. Our hero Richard Hannay, having made his fortune in Bulawayo, has returned to the Old Country to relax and enjoy spending it. So, I resolved to try to take the book seriously. He also argues convincingly that the fairly arresting antisemitism in the opening chapter isn’t Buchan’s, but that of a character who is debunked later in the book. It was written as a ‘shocker’, but had a serious intent as it was published when Britain was at war. The reputation of The Thirty-Nine Steps as the epitome of English boy’s own adventure, with a stiff-upper-lip hero ranged against a dastardly enemy, is undermined by the fact that neither author nor hero are English. The critic Stuart Kelly in the introduction to this edition makes a fair attempt to give the novel depth: ‘the finest piece of propaganda of its era transcends being mere propaganda’. I think John Buchan has a similar problem to Enid Blyton: It is difficult to read them without being influenced by decades of comic reinterpretations of their work as shallow, jingoistic gung-ho nonsense.

Several vividly sketched minor players vie for access to Isaac’s secret, not least his reclusive daughter, Paige, a probability theorist, and her son, Alex, an aspiring international man of mystery. Romantic yearnings, of the illicit and/or near-incestuous variety, afflict all three. These two nonmathematical Severys take turns with their uncle Philip, Isaac’s son, a particle physicist whose academic career has stalled, having chapters told from their perspectives. Hazel is a failed Seattle bookseller, Gregory a not particularly diligent LAPD detective. ![]() I am the first.” Only Hazel and, as will be revealed later, her brother, Gregory, have been selected by Isaac to fulfill his mathematical designs, although they are not blood relations but foster children taken in by Isaac's black-sheep son, Tom, and adopted by Isaac after Tom’s imprisonment.

You are allowed to fast for as long or as short as you like. ![]() There’s plenty of flexibility when it comes to practicing IF.

Long cited as the fundamental text of Western feminism, the book continues to contribute to modern social thought in many ways. Though she states that she loves man as her "fellow," she is clear that "his scepter, real, or usurped, extends not to me, unless the reason of an individual demands my homage and even then the submission is to reason, and not to man." Rooting her argument that women deserve an education equal to men's on the human duty to use God's gift of reason, Wollstonecraft set traditional gender roles on their ear. Responding to other writers who praised or attacked these antimonarchical uprisings, the tone of the book is by turn confrontational, instructive, harshly critical, sarcastically funny, idealistic, and visionary. A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), by Mary Wollstonecraft, was published in London during the third year of the French Revolution and the fifth year of George Washington's presidency of the new United States of America. ![]() Murderbot 46/5/2023 ![]() (A relatable trait if there ever was one.) It'd much rather be left alone to watch its favorite TV shows in peace and silence. ![]() In fact Murderbot (which named itself, following a bloody incident in its past) already has a lot of human qualities - as well as some organic parts - but it doesn't really like most humans all that much. ![]() Commander Data, without the need - or even want - to become more human. It's Johnny 5 from Short Circuit but without the lightning strike a Terminator without the time travel and little bit of Star Trek's Lt. Murderbot is a rogue Security Unit robot (SecUnit for short) that hacked itself to become free. Done? OK, well that might not be long enough for a simple human, but for Murderbot, it would have been plenty of time to read the previous four volumes, watch an episode of future soap opera The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon and break into a security system to complete a mission. For those unfamiliar, I'll give you a few minutes to catch up on the first four books. Wells' latest, Network Effect, is the first full-sized novel featuring our favorite cranky, cynical, sentient, artificially intelligent robot. And if you've been reading author Martha Wells' award-winning Murderbot Diaries novellas, you have been cheering on the titular Murderbot from the sidelines for four, bite-sized adventures so far. The name just rolls off the tongue, like a mascot for a sadistic intergalactic sports team.
