THE BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES BY TOM WOLFE

6/12/2023

0 Comments

 











That led to a compilation of Wolfe’s magazine pieces, followed by “The Electric
Kool-Aid Acid Test,” which captured the spirit of the psychedelic era during his
time with Kesey, author of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” and his band of
pranksters who helped spread the popularity of LSD in California.

The magazine ran it verbatim as “There Goes (Varoom! Varoom!) That Kandy-Kolored
Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby.” In frustration, he sent his editor a letter
with his thoughts and reportage. One of the genre’s defining moments came when
Wolfe was having trouble meeting a deadline for a 1964 magazine story on the
hot-rod car culture.

He was present at the birth of what was known as “new journalism,” a loose style
that featured lots of dialogue and detail and allowed reporters to narrate and
develop characters in a way more often associated with fiction. Bush while
receiving the National Humanities Medal in Washington, U.S., April 22, 2002.

Now, he's sharing the lessons he's learned while running Disney and leading its
200,000 employees-taking big risks in the face of historic disruption learning
to inspire the people who work for you leading with fairness and communicating
principles clearly.

Its value is nearly five times what it was when Iger took over, and Iger is
recognized as one of the most innovative and successful CEOs of our time. Twelve
years later, Disney is the largest, most respected media company in the world
counting Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and 21st Century Fox among its properties. And
3) Think bigger-think global-and turn Disney into a stronger brand in
international markets. 2) Embrace and adopt technology instead of fighting it.

"The only thing that mattered was the future, and I believed I had a clear idea
of the direction Disney needed to go." It came down to three clear ideas: 1)
Create the highest quality content Disney could produce.

"I knew there was nothing to be gained from arguing over the past," Iger writes.
Morale had deteriorated, competition was more intense, and technology was
changing faster than at any time in the company's history.

In 2005, Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company during a difficult
time. A grand vision defined: The CEO of The Walt Disney Company shares the
ideas and values he has used to reinvent one of the most beloved companies in
the world, and inspire the people who bring the magic to life.

THE STORM BY AKIKO MIYAKOSHI

6/12/2023

0 Comments

 








As he sleeps through the storm, he dreams of a giant airship blowing it away.
Recommended to Miyakoshi fans, and to anyone looking for children's stories
about storms and/or dreams.Ī boy plans to go to the beach with his parents the
next day, but a storm is approaching. I enjoyed the dream sequences here, with
the flying ship, and (naturally) I found the boy's cat adorable.

The effect is still quite appealing, and makes the final scene with blue skies
all the more effective. The tone here is somewhat darker I think, than in
Miyakoshi's two other translated picture-books - The Tea Party in the Woods and
The Way Home in the Night - no doubt because it is entirely done in black and
white, save for the final scene, whereas those others utilize color accents
throughout. I found the artwork, done in graphite, absolutely gorgeous.
Originally published in Japan in 2009, and then in this English edition in 2016,
The Storm was author/illustrator Akiko Miyakoshi's first picture-book. When the
boy awakens, he finds the storm has passed and that it is the perfect day for
the beach.

His dreams that night are dominated by a massive ship that sails through the
storm and into clearer skies.

When a summer storm descends upon his neighborhood one evening, the young boy in
this lovely picture-book worries that it will prevent his family from heading to
the beach on the following day.

BATTLE ROYALE BY KOUSHUN TAKAMI

6/11/2023

0 Comments

 









It’s not all violence and gore though as you do also get snippets of
back-stories of some of the more prominent students to better understand their
character traits. Will they participate? Can they trust anyone to make
allegiances with and if they do there is the ever present threat of betrayal
with only one person able to claim victory.This is a brutal tale in both the
psychological and violent sense that the reader, for the most part, follows in
the company of Shuya, one of the students. Stranded on a deserted island each
person is equipped with a pack containing food, water, a map and an item classed
as a weapon (anything from a machine gun to a fork) and sent on their way at 2
minute intervals. This story follows one such class of 42 students as they are
abducted from their intended school trip and awaken in a strange classroom and
discover their new circumstances. The government decided to act and passed the
Program where 50 third-year junior high school classes are forced to fight their
classmates until only 1 participant remains left alive.

Its youth were a disaffected lot and were often displaying such traits in
increasingly violent ways. The Republic of Greater East Asia was falling apart.

TERMINUS BY JAYE MILIUS

It's all about working long hours, having side hustles and making as much money
as possible. Everyone is trying to make it to the top, only they don't know what
the top really is. While Power and Peace are drugs, these opposing drugs serve
as an allegory about the world we live in. The book gives the reader much to
think about. This book is beautifully written, the world building amazing.

The Peacekeepers want to loosen the hold of Power of the City and distribute
Peace freely starting a drug war. Power has control of the city, with the poor
and rich alike either addicting or using recreationally. 'Peace' calms the mind
and cures the addiction to Power. Everyone wants power, even if it comes in a
pill. 'Power' gives one delusions of grandeur and makes them feel more powerful
than they are. Two drug lords, with two different drugs, vie for the soul of a
city. Terminus is a dystopic cyberpunk/biopunk novel.

THE ELFSTONES OF SHANNARA BY TERRY BROOKS

6/11/2023

0 Comments

 









Brooks outlined about three-quarters of the story before beginning to write he
refused an attempt by Lester del Rey to see it because Brooks wanted to impress
the editor. The plot he originally chose featured the son of Menion Leah as the
protagonist and a girl with a Siren-like song that could manipulate the
properties of objects around her.

The second plotline focuses on the efforts of the Elven army and their allies to
slow a massive Demon invasion, made possible by the dying of the current
Ellcrys, to give Wil and Amberle enough time to complete their quest.Īfter Terry
Brooks had completed all work on his first novel, The Sword of Shannara, in fall
1975-having begun it in 1967-he began work on another book soon after. To do
this, they must locate a specific place in the Four Lands called Safehold, where
the process of creating a new Ellcrys can begin. The first plotline follows the
quest of protagonists Wil Ohmsford and Amberle Elessedil to create a new
Ellcrys, a magical tree that serves to banish all Demons from the Four Lands.
The novel, set in a fictional world called the Four Lands, consists of two
intertwining plotlines. It expands upon the history of the Elves, which was only
hinted at in the preceding story, and follows Wil Ohmsford, grandson of Shea
(the hero of the first book) and inheritor of the Shannara Elfstones.

It is the first sequel to The Sword of Shannara and the second book in The
Original Shannara Trilogy. The Elfstones of Shannara is a 1982 epic fantasy
novel by American writer Terry Brooks.

THE SECRET BARRISTER BOOK REVIEW

6/11/2023

0 Comments

 














In reality of course, it's often expediency that leads the police to charge
someone of a crime and they will definitely withhold evidence that is
prejudicial to their own case. It is the police who bring criminal cases to
court and it is as if their honesty in the evidence they present and the
certainty that they are presenting all the evidence, is a given. Every
government cuts the money paid to solicitors (office) and barristers (court),
and every government makes the qualification for legal aid harder and harder to
get so that only the extremely rich and the extremely poor can now count on
getting a defence in a civil or criminal court.

The Secret Barrister is polemic against the system of government that pays lip
service to victims of crime or had their civil rights infringed upon, but no
money to defend them or put right the wrongs inflicted on them. The British have
never recovered from being the foremost empire in the world, the most innovative
of societies, the leaders of intellectual thought, the most just and fair.
