In the decade and a half since then, the issues of race and history so central to Faulkner’s work have grown only more urgent. Some literary critics hailed Winfrey for bringing William Faulkner back into popular consciousness others challenged any notion of recovery or revival, asking whether he had ever really gone away. The Faulkner trilogy quickly rose to the No. Oprah’s website posted short videotaped lectures by three literature professors to assist readers in making sense of the writer’s notoriously demanding prose. The coming months would be, she proclaimed, a “Summer of Faulkner,” focused on three of his novels- As I Lay Dying, The Sound and the Fury, and Light in August, available in a special 1,100-page box set weighing in at two pounds. I n June 2005, Oprah Winfrey announced a surprising choice as the 55th selection for her influential book club. William Faulkner and his wife, Estelle, stand outside their home, in Oxford, Mississippi, in the spring of 1955.

But given how many great books I still have to read and how little time to read them, perhaps it’s just as well that I got the abridged version. There was so much in here, and I am kind of sorry that this was the abridged version because I am almost certain that the full version would be even better, or at least would cover more ground. It was a very good book about the relationship between mothers and daughters, and the relationships between a group of four girls growing up in southern Louisiana before and during World War II who are still friends something like sixty years later. I have wanted to read this book forever – well ever since it came out, anyway, but could never afford it until I found it on Scribd. Spacewalk whisks readers back to 1965 when pilot Ed White became the first American to walk in space. In Eye on the Universe, readers will learn how the Hubble Space Telescope works, its purpose, and about those touch-and-go servicing missions. "Houston, we've had a problem." The events leading up to these famous words are detailed in Danger in Space, which introduces the Apollo 13 mission, the players, and what went wrong. The International Space Station can be a dangerous place, as dust-size meteorites whip by space walkers at 17,500 miles per hour (luckily, astronauts wear suits made of Kevlar, Teflon, and aluminum Mylar). The Coolest Job in the Universe doesn't come without its challenges. The design of these titles is straightforward and clean, with four to six chapters broken up by headings, plus amazing photos taken on location in space, including a wow shot of the farside of the moon. What's it like to eat and sleep in zero gravity? The books in the American Space Missions! Astronauts, Exploration, and Discovery series give kids here on Earth an inside look at the cosmos. Fated clearly telegraphs that these will be the next two love affairs. Some of the supporting characters are certain to show up as couples in future books: Taren's brother, Dage and Cara's sister, Emma and the shape-shifting cougars, Jordan and Katie. The plot follows the ups and downs of the couple's romantic relationship, as they either dodge or take part in a series of battles with the Kurjans. Within 24 hours, Cara finds herself both married and mated to Talen, with both of them sporting a mating brand (which appears only on the bodies of mated couples). Talen calls it fate Cara calls it coercion. Just as the Kurjans are about to kidnap Cara and Janie, the mighty vampire warrior Talen Kayrs bursts in and carries them off. Cara has always refused to recognize or use her powers, but Janie has regular visions of future events, and she knows that trouble is coming. After a truce of 200 years, the Kurjans are on the attack again, and this time they are after psychically talented Cara Paulsen, a plant physiologist, and her four-year-old daughter, Janie. His reporter's eye has seized every gritty detail of the criminal justice system, and he is also acute in rendering the hierarchy at a society party. He has an infallible, mocking ear for New York voices, rendering with equal precision the defense lawyer's ""gedoutdahere,'' the deliberate bad grammar (``that don't help matters'') of the wily ``reverend'' and the clenched-teeth WASP locution (`howjado''). two detectivesone Irish, the other Jewish a slimy, alcoholic British journalist an outraged judge, etc. Wolfe adroitly swings his focus from one to another of the people involved: the protagonist McCoy Kramer, the assistant D.A. The incident is inflated by a manipulative black leader, a district attorney seeking reelection and a sleazy tabloid reporter into a full-blown scandal, a political football and a hokey morality play. On a clandestine date with his mistress one night, top Wall Street investment banker and snobbish WASP Sherman McCoy misses his turn on the thruway and gets lost in the South Bronx his Mercedes hits and seriously injures a young black man. Ranging from the rarefied atmosphere of Park Avenue to the dingy courtrooms of the Bronx, this is a totally credible tale of how the communities uneasily coexist and what happens when they collide. Both his cynical irony and sense of the ridiculous are perfectly suited to his subject: the roiling, corrupt, savage, ethnic melting pot that is New York City. In his spellbinding first novel, Wolfe proves that he has the right stuff to write propulsively engrossing fiction.

Fowles worked on The Magus for twelve years before its publication in 1965. He began writing it in the 1950s under the working title The Godgame, and based the story partly on his own experiences on the Greek island of Spetses, where he taught English for two years at the Anargyrios School. The Magus was the first novel John Fowles wrote, although it was his third to be published, following The Collector (1963) and The Artistos (1964). A work rich in symbols, conundrums, and labyrinthine twists, The Magusendures as the most enigmatic and magical novel in the Fowles canon. As Nicholas is drawn deeper into the psychological traps, he finds it increasingly difficult to distinguish past from present, or fantasy from reality. When a young Englishman, Nicholas Urfe, accepts a teaching post on a remote Greek island and strikes up a friendship with a reclusive millionaire, he soon finds himself a pawn in the trickster’s deadly game of violence, seduction and betrayal. By turns disturbing, thrilling and seductive, the novel is a spellbinding exploration of the complexities of the human mind. Widely considered John Fowles’s masterpiece, The Magus is a masterwork of contemporary literature.

S: That was more or less what Thrasymachus was saying. They think that justice is just something painful or annoying that you have to deal with in order to get the right results. The one we like for its own sake, as well as for the consequences they bring. There’s also another group that we actually don’t like in & of themselves but we like what they bring us, like exercise, medicine & most ways of making money. We like them but also what they give to us beyond themselves. G: Isn’t there something we like for its own sake & not just for the things they bring? & there’s also a group of things we like for their own sake but for the consequences they bring? Like health, knowledge, sight, etc. Nobody’s happy with how that chat with Thrasymachus ended. Glaucon, Socrates’s friend, wants to know what justice is.
