![]() ![]() Anderson, the book is intended as an accompaniment to the band’s album. Combining the ideas of RUSH drummer and lyricist Neil Peart with the writing skills of author Kevin J. ![]() My point of raising all this here is that this is the book the new album is based around: or the book based on the ideas of the album, if you catch my drift. (Pause here to explain to younger readers how ‘a side’ on a vinyl record works.) So the latest album CD, named Clockwork Angels, is currently getting generally very good reviews, and not just from me. Their most famous album, 2112, only had one side as a concept, admittedly about 20 minutes long. There’s been quite a bit of excitement in the fact that their latest album, their twentieth, is a full-blown concept album. (It’s not their most exciting cover, but I like it, even more so the album, and the signatures stand out all the more because of its simplicity.) ![]() ![]() As I type, I have a signed album copy of their album Hold Your Fire over my desk.

It wasn’t until relatively recently that I tried writing fiction, since I had been writing professionally as a journalist for a few years and found that incredibly creatively satisfying. What inspired you to try your hand at fiction at this point in your life? But from university onwards I didn’t really write fiction at all. in terms of imagining myself adventuring alongside my favorite characters. I think that was the early seeds of Pages & Co. I used to insert my sister and me into my favorite stories. I wrote a lot as a child for the pure enjoyment of it, writing what we’d now probably call fan fiction. I was fortunate to have access to wonderful school and public libraries and could read as much as I liked for free. When did it occur to you, as an avid reader, that you wanted to write your own stories?īooks have always been a huge part of my life, and I was an obsessive reader as a child. ![]() 6/26/2023 0 Comments Dave mustaine james hetfield![]() I personally have been hoping for this for a while, and I keep asking and asking and asking. Slayer is from Los Angeles, so it would probably make it more convenient for them to go home at night.

It would remain to be seen who they are, but I have a feeling it would include some of the players we already mentioned.” He then shifted the focus to the “Big 4,” adding, “And I really think it’s time for the guys in Metallica to step up, and us do one last round, see if we can get Slayer to come out of retirement and do a ‘Big 4 passing of the torch’ to the new Big 4. ![]() 6/26/2023 0 Comments Moliere richard wilbur![]() ![]() ![]() "Wilbur," the critic John Simon once wrote, "makes Molière into as great an English verse playwright as he was a French one."

Writing in 1893, Arthur Symons, in his article ‘The Decadent Movement in Literature’, portrays decadence as ‘an intense self-consciousness, a restless curiosity in research, an over-subtilizing refinement upon refine- ment, a spiritual and moral perversity’. By the 1890s, the very subject of representation over embodiment-surface over essence, mask over face-had saturated the discourse of decadence to such a degree as to push it over the edge into the self-referential. Indeed, it is rare to find a piece of British prose of any considerable length that does not repeatedly move away from beingdecadent to describing decadence- that is, from embodying its character to representing it at a remove. Some authors, such as Walter Pater and Vernon Lee, were never interested in being connected with the term ‘decadent’, while others, such as Oscar Wilde, presented themselves or their works as deca- dent only to turn around and contradict their claims. For all of their apparent flash and flaunting, British decadents have proven notoriously difficult to pin down, especially when it comes to prose writers. ![]() 6/25/2023 0 Comments A Shameful Act by Taner Akçam![]() ![]() Although many countries and historians accept the deliberate plan to kill the Armenian people, the Turkish authorities still deny that this shameful act has taken place.

Translator Kivork Khatoun Wanes, who is from Syria, has Armenian origins, but currently lives in Belgium, told Armenpress that the most important motive behind the translation of these books was the enrichment of the Arab Library on this subject which is rarely known to the Arab readers in addition to the courage, credibility, objectivity and impartiality of the writer.

And many of those she took with her best friend, Alex. She started out in her career as a blogger, showing how to take great trips on a budget. Poppy is a writer who works for a high-end travel magazine. It is beach-ready but has nice solid underpinnings. This summer, we get another romance novel that sounds beach-ready because of the “vacation” part of the name. ![]() Last year she gave us Beach Read, what sounds like it would be a perfect “beach read” but also delves deeply and seriously into the potential lovers’ lives. Her more recent work has been adult fiction, romance stories, rather than the somewhat magical-reality and romance that featured in her young adult books. I’ve loved all of her books, whether they’re YA or adult fiction, except one she co-wrote with another author ( Hello Girls). ![]() Here I go again, saying how much I enjoy Emily Henry. ![]() |
