THE REINTEGRATORS BY WILL WEISSER

5/30/2023

Each of the main characters goes through a significant arc and ends up with a
rather different outlook than they had at the beginning of the novel. I think
Hunter in particular is extremely well developed, with his autism handled
sensitively and sympathetically. The world and its characters are well thought
out – the world building takes the interesting approach of hinting at what’s
going on and letting you fill in the blanks. I found myself very much reminded
of Horizon: Zero Dawn (and occasionally The Matrix) throughout the novel, and if
you enjoyed the story of that game then this is definitely one for you.

is thoroughly explored and makes for interesting reading. The Strand is a great
concept and I have difficulty doing it justice here, but its ability to set
traps, shape-shift into giant monsters roaming the land, etc. The world is
partially covered in The Strand – living metal inhabited by seemingly malevolent
AIs who are frequently at war with humans and one another.

What a great start to 2018! Ankaran Immersion is a Cyberpunk adventure set in an
intriguing post-Apocalyptic future. Not only is the Tome and Tankard the first
publication to review ANKARAN IMMERSION, but the book got on the right side of
Wol from the very beginning and didn’t let up:

DON WINSLOW KINGS OF COOL

5/30/2023

The walk-ons who pop up just long enough to get caught in the crossfire are too
interchangeable for tears, and not even Chon’s deployment to Afghanistan and his
encounter with a bomb are cause for alarm. Since fans know that Ben and Chon and
their childhood friend O-for-Ophelia will still be around to peddle primo
product in Savages, The Association’s threats don’t carry the menace they would
outside the wonderful world of prequels, and readers are free to enjoy the
proceedings as deliriously overgalvanized, intermittently hilarious ritual.
Quick as a sentence fragment, Winslow is piling on the violence, the flashbacks
to an earlier generation of Southern California surfers and hippies, and the
one-word paragraphs, as he makes a strong bid for the James Ellroy Award for
Self-Indulgent Prose. Chon is not the person to take this challenge lying down,
and soon he’s struck preemptively at a couple of Association minnows he unwisely
leaves alive-a decision that acts like the starting gun at a marathon. So
successful is their business, in fact, that Duane Crowe, of The Association,
pays Ben a visit gently suggesting that they either submit a monthly charge to
the established network of importers or take their business elsewhere. The year
2005 finds Ben Leonard and his buddy Chon doing what they do best: helping
Orange County get high on Ben’s custom-bred hydroponic grass.

Winslow offers a prequel for his drug-war epic Savages (2010).

THE OLD DRIFT BOOK

5/30/2023

0 Comments

 









On the face of it, the form and storytelling are familiar, recalling many of the
sweeping, colonial narratives authored in decades past in the global north.
Stylistically, the novel is something of a Trojan horse. Over its course we
meet, among many others, blind British tennis player Agnes who marries across
the colour bar, a philandering doctor intent on finding a vaccine for AIDs, the
Zambian astronaut who never was, and a woman covered in hair.

Similar in scope to The Eighth Life, which R also enjoyed, the novel begins in
1904 with a small pioneer settlement near Victoria Falls, and traces how the
connections and traumas forged in that messy collision of people ricochet down
the generations. Spanning more than a century, a large cast of characters and
numerous countries, The Old Drift is a proudly ambitious book. Their favourite
read not featured on my list was The Old Drift by Zambian author Namwali
Serpell. Having been keen to expand their horizons, they had embarked on an
international quest, using the List on this blog as a source of ideas and
supplementing these with their own discoveries when they felt like it or didn’t
like my choices (the best way to use this website, if you ask me).

Like many over the past couple of years, they’d had a tough time and found
solace in reading.

BLACK BRITISH HISTORY DAVID OLUSOGA

5/30/2023

The book's strengths are in its jaw-dropping true stories. Large chronological
gaps exist, frustratingly for the reader, because black voices have simply not
been systematically recorded throughout history. Starting from Roman times, the
book is a compelling chronicle of the lives of black Tudors, Georgians,
Victorians, and soldiers in the first and second world wars. He argues that "the
denial and avowal of black British history, even in the face of mounting
documentary and archeological evidence, is not just a consequence of racism but
a feature of racism." The thesis running throughout the book is that black
Britons have been systematically excluded from British history.

The book accompanies a superb BBC Two documentary, which is much more
crowd-pleasing in tone.

The refrain David heard was the same that I heard: "Go back to where you came
from." "Black and British" is a detailed rebuttal of the racist lie that black
people do not belong in Britain. Growing up in Britain in the 1970s, I was
subjected to the same type of racism as this book's author, David Olusoga.

SUMMARY OF MARCH BY GERALDINE BROOKS

5/30/2023

0 Comments

 










In 2019, Georgetown Art History graduate student Theo Northam discovers a
portrait of a horse in a “FREE” pile outside his neighbor’s house.

For the reader, Jarret and Lexington’s story unfolds chronologically and in
extensive detail, thus the reader is privy to information these modern
researchers never uncover long before it even occurs to them to consider
looking. Jess and Theo gradually uncover fragmented elements of Lexington’s
story, collecting them together in hopes of gaining a greater understanding of
his history. Jarret’s story spans 25 years, Martha Jackson’s story encompasses
two years, and Theo and Jess’s story takes place over the course of a single
year.

Horse is structured to encompass three separate storylines, set in the 1850s,
1950s, and 2019. The chapters about the enslaved character Jarret adhere to the
historical custom of placing the enslaver’s last name before the enslaved
person’s first name, i.e. It also depicts animal neglect and abuse. This guide
follows the 2022 first edition hardcover copy of the novel.Ĭontent Warning:
Horse contains depictions of enslavement and racism toward Black people, both
historically and in the present, including racially-motivated violence and the
use of racial slurs.

BOOK THE CHALICE AND THE BLADE

5/29/2023

0 Comments

 










Suppressed documents such as the APOCRYPHA show that the Goddess was still a
strong mythic figure, one that church fathers ultimately succeeded in demoting
to a nondeity in the form of the Virgin Mary. Such views, expressed in the Old
Testament as well as in the Gospels, continue to influence the direction of
Western culture to the present day. Conquering peripheral tribes, such as the
Hebrews, introduced a patriarchal, death-centered system (symbolized by the
blade) that valued aggression and dominance and denigrated earlier faith in the
Goddess. Minoan Crete marks the last instance of this social and religious
organizational pattern.

Religion celebrated life and nature, with the Goddess (symbolized by the
chalice) being the primary figure of worship. "Neolithic art and funerary
practices demonstrate that women were the equals of men.

THE SHACK WILLIAM P YOUNG BOOK REVIEW

5/29/2023

That’s to be expected when you have people like Eugene Peterson making
statements such as, “This book has the potential to do for our generation what
John Bunyan’s “Pilgrim’s Progress” did for his. The movie itself is set to be
released in 2017, but the hype and anticipation has already started to build.
Recently the trailer for the movie based on Young’s book was released. The book
originally written as a Christmas gift for a family has sold over 20-million
copies and become one of the top 70 books in the history of printed books.

It ascended to the top of the best-selling lists (including the New York Times
and Amazon), and like many successful books often do, it has now morphed into a
movie. In 2008, William Paul Young wrote a book titled The Shack that was
instantly a best-seller.
