On the non-Throwback SF Thursday side, I also plan to read Malka Older’s Infomocracy and finally post a review of Harry Turtledove’s Joe Steele.

(Scheduling Note: I’m reading Jack Vance’s collection of short stories The Narrow Land now. My first step in remedying that was to read Double Star by Robert Heinlein. And so it came to pass that I hadn’t read any of the Science Fiction Big Three. I was all about fantasy growing up and only started getting into science fiction in the last few years. My ignorance of the classics of science fiction, and science fiction in general, runs really deep. As I mentioned in my Intro, my ignorance regarding classics of speculative fiction runs deep.

It isn’t long before Canyon’s traditional life falls apart and everything he thought he knew is shifting.Īlis is the total opposite of Canyon. Canyon sets his sights on ripping apart his father’s new happiness and the closet target is the new fiance’s son, Alis. Webster is great at capturing all the normal teenage angst along with all the emotions of a devastating blow such as this. Pretty much beyond angry and lashes out in drastic measures. The heartfelt tenderness, emotional agony, and overall angst that she brings out in her characters is so compelling it draws me in every single time that even though I burn through the pages, I never want to leave.įeuds and Reckless Fury is about two boys who would appear to be complete opposites, but inside may be more alike than they think.Ĭanyon in the beginning has a girlfriend, is a football player and comes from a traditional family – his life falls apart before his senior year, when his father leaves – not for another woman, but for a man. I need to start by gushing over just how excellent Webster’s writing truly is. Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars Review/Synopsis: Genre/Tropes: New Adult/Bully/Enemies-to-Lovers/MM Romance Your question is sufficiently vague, so I will also add Edda, Parsifal, Beowulf, and Nibelung saga to a list of works that are connected to the Lord of the Rings :). Edited by Christopher Tolkien, they provide insight into some of the thoughts behind the writing of the Middle-earth Legendarium.Īdditionally, Tolkien's Letters deal with The Lord of the Rings in many places. Much like Unfinished Tales, The History of Middle-earth (often stylized HoMe), a 12-volume set published between 19, contains many of Tolkien's notes, drafts, and ideas for the formation of the world of Middle-earth. Most notably, these include The Silmarillion (1977) The Children of Húrin (2007), being an expansion of a major story contained in the Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth (1980), a collection of stories in various stages of completion. A number of unfinished writings have been published posthumously, being edited and arranged by Christopher Tolkien. Tolkien died on September 2nd, 1973, and control of his writings passed to his son, Christopher Tolkien, who he appointed his literary executor. The only other piece dealing with Middle-earth published in his lifetime was The Adventures of Tom Bombadil (1966), a collection of poems dealing with Tom, some of which appear in The Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit, written in 1937, was the world's first public look at his mythos, and he followed soon after by starting the writing of The Lord of the Rings (published 1954-1955). Tolkien's Legendarium was a lifelong work, and indeed the work has continued long after his death. Left to raise her children as a single mother, Stephanie tells the real story of her marriage to Mark, of being a part of the Madoff family, and of life for two years following her father-in-law’s arrest and incarceration. Mark refused to see or speak to his parents, and on the second anniversary of his father’s arrest, he hanged himself. Yet, while Mark’s thriving business was entirely separate from his father’s now notorious fund, he and Stephanie found themselves in the eye of the storm-and grappling with their own sense of betrayal. Before then, Madoff’s son, Mark, and daughter- in-law, Stephanie, had built an idyllic life. When the news of Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi scheme broke, no one was more shocked than the members of his own family. A New York Times bestseller, The End of Normal is the explosive and heartbreaking memoir from the widow of Mark Madoff and the daughter-in-law of Bernard Madoff. |
