Johanna was isolated and when not abused, ignored, during her marriage. Raulf was allied with an evil Bishop who taught his followers that women are the lowest of God’s hierarchy, below dull-witted oxen. But Johanna didn’t suffer just at Raulf’s hand. He abused her physically and mentally, and cheated on her with a string of women. Johanna suffered horribly during her three year marriage to Raulf. The priest who passes this news on to Johanna isn’t surprised when she bursts into tears, but what he doesn’t know is she’s crying tears of joy. The story begins in 1206 England when Lady Johanna learns that her husband, Baron Raulf, is dead. After listening to this 1994 print release in audio format, I believe my list of Garwood favorites will change in the future, as both the story and the narration are a DIK for me. But when I think of my favorites, Saving Grace, the recipient of two DIKs at AAR, never comes to mind. One of the first historical romance authors I read and enjoyed was Julie Garwood.

Matt Clancy on Goodreads registered a similarly suspect claim and read the rest of the book wary of works cited that were later unable to be replicated:Īfter Sapolsky mentioned a study that I know researchers have failed to replicate, I waited for him to discuss the subsequent controversy. Luckily, Sapolsky wrote a book ("Behave", 2017) that surveys the field of human behavior comprehensively and serves as a schelling point for discussion of his work. The lecture is from before the replication crisis (lecture circa April 2010, landmark replication study circa 2015, and I thought it’d be worth looking for widely read critiques or reviews of his work. I kept watching the lecture because Sapolsky is charismatic and knowledgeable, but the claim was never supported and it stuck in my craw. I was watching Robert Sapolsky’s “Intro to Human Behavioral Biology” due to the YouTube recommendation algorithm and found an early claim¹ in lecture two pretty surprising. "Intro to Human Behavioral Biology" needs critique She also began her writing career in that same year. She married Wright Johnson in 1950 whom she had met in 1949.

He drowns a mouse in a bucket, struggles to say 'give it to me' in five languages and hand-feeds a carnivorous bird. In these stories, Sedaris shops for rare taxidermy, hitchhikes with a lady quadriplegic, and spits a lozenge into a fellow traveler's lap. Now, for the first time collected in one volume, the author brings us his funniest and most memorable work. And it is almost impossible to read without laughing. It opens our eyes to what is at absurd and moving about our daily existence. A Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned to the world outside. For more than twenty-five years, David Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space, virtually creating his own genre. What could be a more tempting Christmas gift than a compendium of David Sedaris's best stories, selected by the author himself? From a spectacular career spanning almost three decades, these stories have become modern classics and are now for the first time collected in one volume. So abandoning the theatrics, no, I don’t believe Bob was evil, but he was greedy (look at his 1965 letter to Batmania) and self-absorbed (look at his gravestone). I have been conscientious about not name-calling or otherwise resorting to uncivil discourse on the subject, but the way that Spectator Tribune question was phrased, in a moment of passion, I did allow myself an exception. (These accounts come from multiple authoritative, non-conflicting sources, including Bob’s autobiography.) Bob drew only a handful of Batman stories at the beginning before hiring ghost artists and he did not write a single Batman story. When writing Bill the Boy Wonder, I realized that in simply spelling out what Bill did, it makes it all the more striking just how much Bob did NOT do. I am not diminishing Bob’s contributions he did that himself - unintentionally, of course.

And if that is the point, what informs the recent remarks that you made to the Spectator Tribune about Kane’s creative contribution to Batman, in which you said: “maybe the name “Bat-Man,” but even that is disputed besides, between pulps and film, bat-themed characters were nothing new by 1939.

Meanwhile, in the New York of 1977, the Sombra Corporation plots to destroy the lot at Second Avenue and Forty-Sixth Street. He used it to enter Mid-World, and now it sleeps fitfully beneath the floorboards of his church. The Calla folken need the kind of help that only gunslingers can give, and if the tet agrees to help, the town's priest-Father Callahan, once of 'Salem's Lot, Maine-promises to give them Black Thirteen, the most potent and treacherous of Maerlyn's magic balls. In less than a month, the Calla will be attacked by the Wolves-those masked riders that gallop out of Thunderclap once a generation to steal the town's children. Here, in the borderlands that lie between Mid-World and End-World, Roland and his friends are approached by a frightened band of representatives from the nearby town of Calla Bryn Sturgis. After escaping the perilous wreckage of Blaine the insane Mono and eluding the evil clutches of the vindictive sorcerer Randall Flagg, Roland and his ka-tet find themselves back on the southeasterly path of the Beam. Kalisha tells Luke that he was abducted and brought to the Institute, a mysterious organization that collects children with special abilities. The girl introduces herself as Kalisha Benson, a telepath. Stepping outside, Luke finds himself in a dormitory and sees a girl sitting in the hallway. One night, he goes to sleep and awakens in a room that looks like his-but with no window. Twelve-year-old Luke Ellis is a prodigy: He just passed the SAT and plans to attend both MIT and Emerson University in the fall. Following another impulse, he takes the job-and is suddenly turned to for help by a boy named Luke Ellis. Passing the sheriff’s station, he sees a flier requesting a “Night Knocker,” a town watchman. After a series of impulses, he finds himself walking down the main street of DuPray, South Carolina.

Stephen King won over 30 awards for his fiction, including the Locus Award for The Institute in 2020. The underwater scenes are cool and the villains were superbly cast and performed. *** I re-watched the 1965 Terence Young film starring Sean Connery as Bond and was again reminded how much I liked this one. This begins with some attention to Bond as a physical operative. Bond is a THREE pack a day smoker and a heavy drinker and M is worried about his ace. Almost a token scene, but would it be Bond without ultra-cool at the card table?īond with a health problem. Broccoli’s casting in the films always entertains but they got the idea from Fleming and his creation of Domino is inspired. Some of the earlier Bond novels were oddly cerebral and even romantic, Thunderball is all about the fight scenes and there are many good ones. spy, SPECTRE is rolling the dice on a big and dastardly plan and its up to our hero to save the day.Īction. We actually get a villain double billing as SPECTRE agent Largo is the central antagonist and we meet Blofeld as the arch-enemy behind the scenes.
