Maybe the very complexity of Donne and his various metamorphoses is too much for a biographer to capture because this is the fourth biography I've read and none of them feel complete. Rundell's vast enthusiasm is almost there in his place, a kind of simulacrum for the man. Rundell's writing is the star of this show: it's sparky and textured, original and alive - if she wrote a novel I'd read it like a shot - but, somehow, Donne the man sort of slips between the floorboards of this biography and never really emerges as a fully-fleshed (ha!) person. ![]() ![]() The Harry Potter books are a triumph of the imagination that did far more than break sales records for all time.

As these things go, it took another 27 years for the film release. Film director Darabont read it first in this anthology around this time, and immediately thought it would make a great film. A version of “The Mist” first appeared in a 1980 anthology of horror stories. Stephen King was near the beginning of his career, and publishers weren’t keen to publish absolutely everything he came out with, so he had to let this one sit awhile. Though this is a 1980s story, “The Mist” was first written in 1976. There will inevitably be some conflation of those two slightly different stories below, so I’m going to talk about both without worrying about mixing them up. I’ve seen the 2007 film numerous times but only just read the novella. Or maybe you’ve never encountered Stephen King’s Mist story before in your entire life, and you don’t scream to family members, “SOMETHING IN THE MIST TOOK JOHN LEE!” whenever fog descends. This popular science fiction horror contains plenty for discussion and analysis. ![]() You may have even studied “The Mist” in literature class - the tertiary level equivalent of Lord of the Flies. ![]() ![]() ![]() Review Quotes An inspiring book of global proportions, Career Mapping goes far beyond writing a rsum and pounding the streets.

So don’t look for any tabloid exposes showing Amy and Jim Dacyczyn sipping Dom Perignon, tooling around in a limo - or buying a new pair of jeans. “Once you learn to do things the smart way, it’s really hard to go back and do it the stupid way,” says Dacyczyn, in Dallas on a book tour for “The Tightwad Gazette II.” “I can’t go out and sell this if I’m not doing it.” Maybe even have dinner with her husband in a restaurant? Well, all you cynics out there, all you conspicuous consumers who whine that you never have enough money, all you misguided souls who believe frugality is an unhappy necessity rather than a virtue - prepare to be disappointed. After five years of publishing a monthly newsletter, two successful books and a national reputation as the Queen of Cheap, is it time to sell out? ![]() In short, she doesn’t have to live like this. ![]() ![]() ![]() The mother of six who brags that she spent just $100 on her twin babies in a year (except for food and doctor bills) could afford to hire Barney himself to entertain them. The self-styled “frugal zealot” who suggests saving on funeral expenses by donating your loved one’s body to science is staying at fancy hotels on her book tour. Will success spoil Amy Dacyczyn? The woman whose Tightwad Gazette taught average Americans to look for food bargains in Dumpsters now makes a six-figure income. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The younger daughter, Helen, is more interested in fixing cars than falling in love-unless it’s with her sister’s suitor. until she meets the charismatic civil rights leader Washington DeWight and sparks fly. There is Olivia, the beautiful elder Davenport daughter, ready to do her duty by getting married. Now it's 1910, and the Davenports live surrounded by servants, crystal chandeliers, and endless parties, finding their way and finding love-even where they’re not supposed to. ![]() The Davenports are one of the few Black families of immense wealth and status in a changing United States, their fortune made through the entrepreneurship of William Davenport, a formerly enslaved man who founded the Davenport Carriage Company years ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() An attack of tic doloureux brings Maggs to the attention of ambitious young writer Tobias Oates, who employs the newly fashionable ""science"" of animal magnetism to draw out the ""phantom"" in Maggs's subconscious that is causing the pain. Circumstances propel Maggs into the home of Sir Percival Buckle, where he is quickly employed as a footman, and where he catches the eye of a saucy chambermaid with a tragic past. He's a dead man if discovered, but he's obsessed with finding his (adoptive) son, whom he's been supporting for years-facts we glean in small, suspenseful increments. His name, we eventually learn, is Jack Maggs (read Abel Magwitch), and he has illegally returned to England from Australia, where he was brutally used in the penal colony. ![]() In 1837, a mysterious man-hulking, silent, missing two fingers-steps off the coach in London. With great panache, he executes an abundantly atmospheric and rollickingly entertaining reprise of Great Expectations. If any contemporary author has the goods to pull off a variation on Dickens, Carey (The Unusual Life of Tristan Smith) is certainly the man. ![]() |
