He wants to see religious and non-religious communities healthier.Ĭomparing himself to the fictional character Benjamin Button who lived a backward life, Joshua became a best-selling author at age 21, the lead pastor of a mega-church at age 30, and only at age 40 attended a graduate school of theology. Today he advocates for people’s freedom to change, grow, and walk away from systems and beliefs that no longer fit them. Joshua Harris spent the first 40 years of his life promoting what he now describes as narrow, controlling, fear-based religion. Why did Joshua Harris, the original face of purity culture, eventually recant everything he once believed? What does he believe now? And what does that mean for the millions of Christians who adopted his stances? Melanie and Gary Alan sit down with the author to talk about his faith journey thus far, complete with its successes, losses, reversals, and apologies.

The finely drawn characters capture readers’ attention in this debut.Īutumn and Phineas, nicknamed Finny, were born a week apart their mothers are still best friends. Examining the ties that bring people together and force them apart, this is a harsh and honest view of homeless teen life in the city of angels. The author’s note offers resources for both at-risk and street teens. Calculated emotionless presentation of the street-sex trade helps communicate the bleak circumstances in which many homeless youths find themselves this contrasts nicely with the burgeoning relationships that develop between the teens, especially Squid’s passion for a family. With characters ranging in age and experience, the narrative cohesion could easily deteriorate, but skillful blending by the author prevents such muddling. Rather than alternating the narrator each chapter, Blank gives each voice its own section in turn. When 12-year-old Eeyore gets caught up in drugs and prostitution, Tracy has a chance to redeem them both. Through Tracy, a junk-addicted porn star, Eeyore, Rusty, Squid, Critter, Scabius and Laura form a rough community with its own dynamics and hostilities. Boredom, family issues and sexual abuse led them away from home, and now seven teens struggle to survive on the streets. The streets of Los Angeles offer an escape to a group of teenagers. It doesn’t address its story at all, and tries too hard to be funny/whimsical. Neither seemed truly “villainous.” The response essay for this one also disappointed me, although I might have liked it more if it hadn’t been the first one in the book. There seem to be no stakes whatsoever until the very end, and when I did reach the climactic moment, I still wasn’t sure who I was supposed to sympathize with: the killer or the victim. There’s backstory, speculation, contemplation… but not much action. The stories are arranged in alphabetical order by author’s last name, which seems fair, but this is a weak story for the book to open with. And now for a closer look at the stories: Altogether, it’s a thought-provoking book about human nature, and the gray area in our moral codes. The response essays take many different forms, either reacting directly to the story they follow, or addressing a broader topic of villainy. From there, the collection shifts between the thirteen short stories from current, popular YA authors, and the thirteen prompts and responses from the Booktubers who collaborated with the collection. Ameriie, the editor of the collection, opens the book with an introduction about the appeal of villains, especially in YA literature. Each story explores a bit of unexpected villainy, leaving the reader to wonder who is truly evil and whether it’s good to be bad. Because You Love to Hate Me is a set of 13 short stories about villainy– the reasons for it, the blurred line between it and heroism, the benefits of it, and so much more. The writing is lovely, but in relation to the people it creates and summons. I guess, considering that it's been a month since I read this and I haven't been able to stop reading or talking or thinking about it, five stars.įor me, this is a book of characters. There were very many characters in this book that I didn't like, but also I wasn't supposed to, but also even when I'm not supposed to I usually do anyway, often more than when I AM supposed to.Īnd also, in addition to this, there was a character I loved so much that I cried through her chapters (of which there are only two), an insanely earnest and vulnerable moment the likes of which has never occurred to me ever. Update: dropping this to 4.5 because there is one thing that bugs me too much to leave this at a perfect 5. She would sit holding her cards, chuckling over them or cursing them, in a manner which had never before been heard within the walls of the Château. Her loud laughter, her expletives, her expressions would seem to confirm the stories of her beginnings.Ĭard-playing was a ceremony at Versailles – until Madame du Barry came. The Duc’s spies discovered all the details of her early life they were exaggerated and put into songs which were sung in the streets. Meanwhile the Choiseuls continued to have songs written about her. She would grimace and put her tongue out at his back in a manner which might have been accepted in the Saint-Antoine district but which seemed extraordinary in the Galerie des Glaces. ‘Oh dear,’ she would groan, ‘here comes old pug-face.’ And she would turn away in a manner which was not in accordance with Versailles etiquette. So she went her way, ignoring her enemies until that greatest of all forced her to notice him. Planning revenge seemed to her such a waste of time when there were so many more exciting things to be done. She could never completely throw off the aura of the streets of Paris, and she loved humanity while she could bestow pardon for past offences right and left, she found it very difficult to harbour resentment. But look at it this way: inside stories seldom live up to one’s expectations. “My own role sometimes makes me want to strangle the author. It is as if I were one of those minor characters in a melodrama who gets shuffled offstage without ever learning how things turn out.” I’ve a peculiar feeling that I may never see you again. Random aside, the book went rather amusingly meta at one point: Still worth finishing, but I'm starting to long for more. I want to know more about what's going on with that Black Road. We're learning a lot more about the world(s), but mostly only answering questions from the previous two books. On the other hand, not that much actually happens. It's the first time we've really seen all (or at least most) of them all in one place at the same time, which leads to a much different sort of book. It turns out that Corwin and his brothers and sisters really are a bunch of conniving bastards (in some cases literally). On one hand, we end up getting a much stronger sense for exactly who in Amber's ruling family is working with whom and what all they've done thus far. In, Corwin escapes off the Avalon in order to use jewelers' supplies to make guns to take back the throne from Eric-only to end up having to save Amber rather than attack it. In, Corwin went from having no memories to learning he was a Prince of Amber, to trying to wrest the throne from his brother Eric-only to be blinded and thrown into prison. In addition to running this blog and getting up to all manner of fun mischief and depravity, I also work full time. I feel that it’s necessary, both in order to provide a bit of context, and also to point out some of the compound benefits of this particular piece of equipment. In order to explain how I arrived at this solution, I’m going to let you into a little more of my life and interests outside of the realm of rope bondage than I have previously. I’m also going to provide you with some background, and a bit more of a peek into my life in areas unrelated to the rest of this blog but if you’d like to skip all that, and get straight to the main point of this post, click here. I do have to say though, that I’m very excited about this piece of equipment and I’m already having a hell of a lot of fun using it. I can absolutely promise that this will provide some very good ideas for play or for your own home dungeon how you use those ideas will be up to you. Today I’m discussing a very versatile piece of equipment for practicing BDSM in the home, and which comes a lot of additional compound benefits. Kolbert’s previous book The Sixth Extinction won the Pulitzer Prize, it was praised by Barack Obama, Al Gore, Bill Gates and other important people. “A highly engaging and insightful overview of some of our most pressing environmental crises the short-sightedness (and greed) that caused them and how, with a bit more humility and attentiveness to the natural world itself, we might extricate ourselves from problems we have caused for ourselves, our incredibly beautiful biosphere, and creatures large and small across the planet. This is my review of the new book by the New Yorker journalist Elizabeth Kolbert, titled Under a White Sky- The Nature of the Future. Under a White Sky demonstrates that humans have the capacity and creativity to develop large-scale technological solutions that may be necessary to address challenges in the climate system, but emphasizes that such approaches must be developed thoughtfully with an eye to long-term, far-reaching impacts.” – Dana Veron, Associate Professor of Geography and Spatial Sciences and First Year Seminar Instructor Starting with an exploration of the downstream consequences the establishment of the Chicago’s Sanitary and Ship Canal had on the Mississippi River, and ending with a discussion of whitening the sky by adding reflective aerosols high in the atmosphere to decrease solar heating, Kolbert guides readers through the intertwined impacts and feedbacks that human-developed control on natural systems can have. “In her new book, Under a White Sky, Elizabeth Kolbert explores the complex impacts of large-scale technological solutions to environmental problems. |
