Justice Ginsburg has written an Introduction to the book, and Hartnett and Williams introduce each chapter, giving biographical context and quotes gleaned from hundreds of interviews they have conducted. This book contains a sampling, selected by Justice Ginsburg and her authorized biographers Mary Hartnett and Wendy W. Throughout her life Justice Ginsburg has been (and continues to be) a prolific writer and public speaker. My Own Words is a selection of writings and speeches by Justice Ginsburg on wide-ranging topics, including gender equality, the workways of the Supreme Court, on being Jewish, on law and lawyers in opera, and on the value of looking beyond US shores when interpreting the US Constitution. Summary The first book from Ruth Bader Ginsburg since becoming a Supreme Court Justice in 1993-a witty, engaging, serious, and playful collection of writings and speeches from the woman who has had a powerful and enduring influence on law, women's rights, and popular culture. Hill was no Godfather, but he’d spent his whole life in the Mafia. When he was arrested for a range of offences, including drug-dealing (which his Mob bosses had told him to stay away from), he agreed to testify against his fellow ‘wiseguys’ and was given a new identity, under the US government’s Witness Protection Program. The subject became Pileggi’s speciality, and when the publishers Simon & Schuster bought the rights to Henry Hill’s life story, Pileggi was a natural choice to write it.įor anyone who hasn’t seen GoodFellas (or read Wiseguy), Hill was an Irish-Italian New Yorker who became a small-time gangster as a teenager, and grew up to become involved in many of the Mob’s illegal enterprises. Nobody had written much about Organised Crime before. That period, in the 1950s and 1960s, was also the period that began to expose Organised Crime, as we came to know it." I was assigned to cover crime – I covered the police, I covered corruption. "Right out of college, I went to work at the Associated Press in New York City, in the mid Fifties. "I was a journalist since I was young," says Pileggi. Martin Scorsese turned the biography of a New York hoodlum, Henry Hill, into a cinematic masterpiece Tempting of course, status-wise, but a slippery slope. Cycling keeps him lean and mean, and, incidentally, looking pretty damn sportif in his form-fitting Lycra shorts and tactical-fabric jersey, given that he’s going to be forty-eight next birthday.Īs the director of D4 Branch at MI5, responsible for counter-espionage against Russia and China, Dennis has reached a level of seniority where he can, if he wishes, get chauffeured home in one of the Service’s fleet of anonymous, mid-range vehicles. The hard cross-town ride satisfies the Spartan in him. It’s something that he would hesitate to confide to his colleagues or his family, but Dennis sees himself as the upholder of certain values. It’s a longish ride from the office to his north London home, but he’s made good time. Cruising through Muswell Hill on his carbon-framed bike, his hands resting lightly on the alloy handlebars, Dennis Cradle feels a pleasing exhaustion. Many viewers might not immediately consider these films in terms of their lesbian representation, either. The argument is interesting, and Corber threads it through a rereading of several beloved Hollywood classics that we might not have considered under the rubric of "Cold War movies," although they subscribe to Cold War ideologies pertaining to gender and sexuality. In the cultural hysteria of that era, the femme was considered the more dangerous figure because, similar to the Communist, she could pass as "normal." This enabled her to seduce other women and convert them to "the life," destroy the institution of marriage, subvert all-American values, and threaten to undermine the national fabric, all without arousing suspicion. Corber's study draws on and synthesizes the growing body of work in lesbian and gay film studies, extending that work in one significant way: by arguing that the homophobic discourse around female homosexuality in the United States shifted during the Cold War to focus on the slippery image of the femme lesbian rather than the more easily identified gender-transgressive butch. He lives the first few years of his life believing he is an ape before noticing and feeling ashamed for his differences from his ape companions, and living with the ire of his foster father, Tublat. Soon after his parents' death, baby John was adopted by the ape, Kala, who lost her own baby during one of Kerchak's rampages, and named the baby Tarzan, which means "White Skin" in ape language. When Tarzan was an infant, his mother died in her sleep, and his father was killed soon after by Kerchak, chieftain of the Mangani, Great Apes of a species unknown to science. Character biography Childhood years Īccording to Burroughs, Tarzan was born in 1888, as John Clayton III, the son of John Clayton I (Lord Greystoke) and his wife, Alice Clayton, who were marooned on the Atlantic coast of Africa by mutineers. I knew going into it that it would be very different from Michaelides’ previous book, and I was not at all disappointed! It was a much slower burn, but we got more into the characters and backstory. I adored this book, although it wasn’t at all like The Silent Patient. Thank you so much to Celadon Books for this advanced copy as part of their LFL drop program. I can’t believe I’m only just getting around to writing this review! It’s been a busy couple of weeks. But Mariana is determined to stop this killer, even if it costs her everything-including her own life. When another body is found, Mariana’s obsession with proving Fosca’s guilt spirals out of control, threatening to destroy her credibility as well as her closest relationships. But why would the professor target one of his students? And why does he keep returning to the rites of Persephone, the maiden, and her journey to the underworld? And she becomes convinced that, despite his alibi, Edward Fosca is guilty of the murder. Mariana, who was once herself a student at the university, quickly suspects that behind the idyllic beauty of the spires and turrets, and beneath the ancient traditions, lies something sinister. Mariana Andros is a brilliant but troubled group therapist who becomes fixated on The Maidens when one member, a friend of Mariana’s niece Zoe, is found murdered in Cambridge. A handsome and charismatic Greek Tragedy professor at Cambridge University, Fosca is adored by staff and students alike-particularly by the members of a secret society of female students known as The Maidens. I wavered between rating the third book 'okay' and 'liked', but that I skimmed most of the last 10% or so of it had to push it down to an 'okay'. Luckily the relationship aspect of the story remained strong in the third book, so that somewhat carried it. Unfortunately the third book fell down hard on that aspect of the story, and so much of what happened wasn't at all believable and/or felt very rushed. In the first two books, the political end of things were just as interesting (if not more so) than the relationship between the two men. one who was also losing the struggle for his rightful power. That prince-turned-slave ended up in the hands of the prince of that nation. In one nation, a bastard brother got the upper hand and sold his non-bastard brother into slavery in the enemy nation. Two enemy nations were dealing with internal power struggles, and both nations had a culture of slavery. In the first two books we had some interesting worldbuilding. The Captive Prince trilogy is a twisty political story mixed with a love story.

Not really knowing where to start, I took a chance on the slightly older The Corn Maiden and Other Nightmares. But my interest was piqued again when I noticed she was going to be part of Dreams From the Witch House from Dark Regions Press, so I thought it was finally time to check in to this. Oates is so prolific that they’re easy to miss, a lot is just out of stock and the rest tied up in anthologies. And it was from that point that I discovered … wow, Joyce has a LOT of horror writing. I was obsessed with that story and Oates in general for a long time, but curiously enough I never really associated her with “horror writing” until 2013’s Gothic-tinged The Accursed. I was introduced to her work in high school at some point through, of course, the chilling short story “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” As a student who didn’t really care for most of my assigned reading lists, Joyce Carol Oates became part of my pantheon of Authors I’d Willingly Read For School pretty quickly (at risk of dating myself a lot).

Series list: Hope Springs (6 Books) by Sarah M. Eden puts poor Katie through one ordeal after another, underlining a portrayal of the Irish as unfailingly good-hearted despite endless suffering.

The primary force for peace is Joseph Archer, a neutral local land baron who’s in love with his housekeeper, young Irishwoman Katie Macauley.
