![]() ![]() You may recall in the 1980’s or so there was much talk by pseudoscientific charlatans (the best known was Japanese) who claimed to be able to project mental images onto camera film. This book was published in Japan in 1991. ![]() (I’m not giving away plot because we are told this in the blurb). The recording was generated telekinetically. They turn into a Batman/Robin duo traveling around Japan trying to figure out who made this recording and why. He enlists a friend to help him solve the mystery. He goes to the resort and watches the video and discovers that it warns the viewer that those who watch it will die within a period of 10 days unless – but the “unless” part has been taped over! The journalist now fears for his life and later, for the lives of his wife and child, who accidentally watched the video as well. He becomes a detective, tracing events back and connecting the dots to find that all four had spent a weekend in a rural resort where they watched a video. They were of college age and all perfectly healthy. The basic story is that a journalist discovers that four young people - two girls, two boys - died separately and suddenly within a day for no good reason. He is a bit like Stephen King in his blend of fantasy, horror and mystery. Many of his books, including this one, have been turned into movies and even video games. ![]() The blurbs tell us the author has been called the Stephen King of Japan, where he is famous. ![]() ![]() Pairing superlative emotional insight with unabashed vivid fantasy, Broder tells a tale of appetites: physical hunger, sexual desire, spiritual longing, and the ways that we as humans can compartmentalize these so often interdependent instincts. Rachel is suddenly and powerfully entranced by Miriam-by her sundaes and her body, her faith and her family-and as the two grow closer, Rachel embarks on a journey marked by mirrors, mysticism, mothers, milk, and honey. Rachel is content to carry on subsisting-until her therapist encourages her to take a ninety-day communication detox from her mother, who raised her in the tradition of calorie counting.Įarly in the detox, Rachel meets Miriam, a zaftig young Orthodox Jewish woman who works at her favorite frozen yogurt shop and is intent upon feeding her. At night, she pedals nowhere on the elliptical machine. By day, she maintains an illusion of existential control, by way of obsessive food rituals, while working as an underling at a Los Angeles talent management agency. Rachel is twenty-four, a lapsed Jew who has made calorie restriction her religion. A scathingly funny, wildly erotic, and fiercely imaginative story about food, sex, and god from the acclaimed author of The Pisces and So Sad Today. ![]() ![]() ![]() “He thought it was impossible to draw a happy comic strip and actually he was fond of saying that ‘Happiness is a sad song,’” Michaelis said in a recent interview. Not for a minute did he believe that “Happiness was a warm puppy” - and he may not have believed in happiness at all. It portrays Schulz as a man who felt unseen and unloved even if his readers numbered in the hundreds of millions.īiographer David Michaelis, author of “Schulz and Peanuts,” said the cartoonist was also a man who could neither forget nor forgive any slight or lonely moment. ![]() The book is based on six years of research, unlimited access to family papers, more than 200 interviews and a close reading the 17,897 strips Schulz wrote and drew. The creator of the beloved Peanuts comic strip was a shy, lonely man who used his child-like drawings to depict a life of deep melancholy, according to a controversial new biography. Schulz, creator of the "Peanuts" characters is shown in this undated file photograph. ![]() ![]() 'The Winter of Discontent' provides a re-examination of this crucial series of events in British history by charting the construction of the myth of the Winter of Discontent. A potent social myth also quickly developed around the Winter of Discontent, one where "bloody-minded" and "greedy" workers brought down a sympathetic government and supposedly invited the ravages of Thatcherism upon the British labour movement. Labour's subsequent electoral defeat at the hands of the Conservative Party under the leadership of Margaret Thatcher ushered in an era of unprecedented political, economic, and social change for Britain. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the midst of the freezing winter of 1978-79, more than 2,000 strikes, infamously coined the "Winter of Discontent," erupted across Britain as workers rejected the then Labour Government's attempts to curtail wage increases with an incomes policy. ![]() ![]() Richards, Loreth Anne White, Priscilla Oliveras, R.J. ▪︎These Silent Woods by Kimi Cunningham Grant – Pub date: 10/26/21 Posted on JJCategories TBR Tags A Shepherd of Wolves, A Summer to Remember, Amanda Skenandore, Anchored Hearts, Beneath Devil's Bridge, Choose Me, Endings, Erika Montgomery, Her Last Breath, Hilary Davidson, Kimi Cunningham, Laura Coleman, Linda L.

It was amazing! Many people compared the series and characters to Richelle Mead’s VA series, and hated on the series as a result.
