![]() To know it is to be free, free from all prisons: the prisons of the body, the prisons of the mind, the prisons that exist outside you. It was with you before your birth and it will be with you after your birth, because it is you, your essential being. Krishna is right when he says, nainam chhindanti shastrani - “No weapon can even touch me”…nainam dahati pravaka - “And neither can the fire burn me.” He is not talking about the body, the brain, the self - they will all be destroyed - but there is something in you indestructible, immortal, eternal. – Krishna: The Man and His Philosophy, Chapter #1 In the long line of such sages it is Krishna alone who comes dancing, singing and laughing. ![]() By and large, the chief characteristic of a religious person has been that he is somber, serious and sad-looking - like one vanquished in the battle of life, like a renegade from life. The most important reason is that Krishna is the sole great man in our whole history who reached the absolute height and depth of religion, and yet he is not at all serious and sad, not in tears. Only in some future time will we be able to understand him and appreciate his virtues. He is still beyond man’s understanding he continues to puzzle and battle us. Man has yet to grow to that height where he can be a contemporary of Krishna’s. Firstly, his uniqueness lies in the fact that although Krishna happened in the ancient past he belongs to the future, is really of the future. ![]() Krishna is utterly incomparable, he is so unique. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() His loyalty to his dad and nan, his resistance to change, his love of comics, his fear of small spaces is all me! I found it surprisingly easy to write from the point of view of a 12-year-old boy! I only realised after I’d written it just how much of me is in Jimmy. How did it feel to put yourself into the shoes of your main character, Jimmy, while writing this book, and why did you decide to set it during wartime? When previously researching a different story, I discovered the true account of children finding a skull in a tree. So I used that as a starting point for my own characters, setting and mystery. ![]() We were asked to write a short historical piece. It all came from a writing task when I studied for a Master’s Degree at Bath Spa University.

But it had some twists & turns in true Harlan Coben fashion. Tia and Mike Baye never imagined they'd become the type of overprotective parents who spy on their kids. This book is a stand alone novel, not one of the Myron Bolitar series which I love. ![]() ![]() ![]() Who doesn’t like a kick-ass vampire with a love of all things bacon? (I was going to say meat but that sounded dirty ) ) With a great cast of characters that includes my favorite vampire, Ethan, Jeff, Gabriel, Catcher, Mallory and Jonah (among others), there’s still so much more of their story to tell! After Cadogan House and more specifically Ethan, are being targeted by both the GP and the mayor, Ethan and Merit are forced to go into hiding and to once again rely on the help of the reluctant shifters. I admit that I was a little bit nervous when I first heard how many books were planned for the series (13 so far) but now that I’m more than halfway through the series, I don’t think I can ever get enough. ![]() Despite the fact that this is the 9th installment in the series, I’m not even a little bored or sick of Merit, Ethan, the story or the rest of these characters. ![]() ![]() ![]() With echoes of Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” and Stephen King’s Needful Things, Samson’s novel returns to print at last in this long-awaited new edition, which features an introduction by Grady Hendrix ( Horrorstör, Paperbacks from Hell) and an afterword by the author’s husband. ![]() ![]() Ī chilling masterpiece of terror whose sense of creeping menace and dread increases page by page, Joan Samson’s The Auctioneer (1975) is a rediscovered classic of 20th-century fiction. As the auctioneer carries out his terrible, inscrutable plan, the Moores and their neighbors will find themselves gradually but inexorably stripped of their freedom, their possessions, and perhaps even their lives.

Betty Farmer caught a last glimpse of Eddie Chapman sprinting off down the beach with two overcoated men in pursuit.”Īnd she didn’t see him again until after the war.Įddie Chapman: the nefarious Agent Zigzag.Įddie Chapman was a petty a bit more. There was a storm of broken glass, tumbling crockery, screaming women, and shouting waiters. Before Betty could speak, Eddie stood up, bent down to kiss her once, and then jumped through the window, which was closed. A group of men in overcoats and brown hats had entered the restaurant and one was now in urgent conversations with the headwaiter. Eddie was halfway through telling another funny story when he froze. Beyond the golden beach, the waves flickered among a scatter of tiny islands, as Eddie and Betty ate trifle off plates with smart blue crests. ![]() ”War was coming, everyone said so, but the dining room of the Hotel de la Plage was a place of pure peace that sunny Sunday. ![]() ![]() "Argue for your limitations and sure enough they're yours." Probably my all time favorite. I have seen quotes from this book appear in many locations and use many of them myself when working with students. That always surprised me because I felt that most of the ideas contained here were quite Christ like. I remember that some factions of the Christian right were outraged that the book referred to a Messiah other than Jesus. The fact that the author kind of went a bit off the deep end does not bother me (although it did for a while!) ![]() I still believe the ideas contained here are timeless and profound. ![]() Not because the writing was so great but the thoughts contained in it were so close to what I was feeling as a 19 year old away from home and on my own for the first time. I believe this book moved me more than any other before or since. ![]() ![]() Four minutes after she plummeted to Earth and landed atop a United Nations Assembly Cadillac parked curbside on West 33rd Street, an amateur photographer named Robert C. ![]() On May 1, 1947, a young woman named Evelyn Francis McHale leapt to her death from the Empire State Building’s 86th floor observation deck. ![]() Competition for her attention is fierce, and when it starts to become clear that Rylie’s burgeoning interest in her is reciprocated in equal measure, tension among the student body rises to a deadly level. In a sexless environment, thirty-one-year-old Mademoiselle Carriveau is a magnet for the affections of her hormonal, adolescent students. This harsh ban on expressions of love becomes especially problematic when Rylie meets her new French Housemistress, Vivienne Carriveau, and attraction sparks. Carnal pursuits are a distraction from learning, so says the Headmistress, and virtue is to be as highly regarded as education-if not higher. Instead, what might prove somewhat difficult to overcome is the school’s strict policy concerning on-campus relationships.Īll sexual contact is expressly forbidden. But that’s really not a problem for sixth form student Rylie Harcourt. ![]() For a lot of seventeen-year-old girls, being sent to a same-sex boarding school would be a nightmare for one simple reason: No boys. ![]() ![]() ![]() The fates of these families are in the hands of two landlords: Sherrena Tarver, a former schoolteacher turned inner-city entrepreneur, and Tobin Charney, who runs one of the worst trailer parks in Milwaukee.
