Won a couple of random awards along the way: the Bank of America English Award in High School (which basically just amounted to a fancy plaque saying that I was really, really good at English) and an award for best Sports Feature article in a College Newspaper (and anyone who knows me well understands how deeply ironic that is). Little's fifth grade class at Glenmoor Elementary did have one) my high school paper (along with my best high school bud, Cindy Jorgenson) and my college paper, where our long-suffering typesetter finally forced me to learn how to typeset because my articles were usually late (and thus I probably have him to thank for all the desktop publishing jobs that ensued over the years). I was editor of my elementary school paper (believe it or not, Mrs. I won the school spelling bee when I was in 7th grade the word that clinched it was 'ukulele.' I originally set out to be a rock star when I grew up (I had a Bono fixation, but who didn't?), and I have the guitars and the questionable wardrobe stuffed in the back of my closet to prove it. Well, where should I start? I've lived in San Francisco for more than a decade, usually with at least one cat. Against them stands Big Jim Rennie, a politician who will stop at nothing-even murder-to hold the reins of power, and his son, who is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when-or if-it will go away.ĭale Barbara, Iraq vet and now a short-order cook, finds himself teamed with a few intrepid citizens-town newspaper owner Julia Shumway, a physician’s assistant at the hospital, a select-woman, and three brave kids. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener’s hand is severed as “the dome” comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester’s Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Bestselling thriller from master storyteller Stephen King that inspired the hit television series, following the apocalyptic scenario of a town cut off from the rest of the world. Collins's devotees will probably relish the snappy dialogue, whirlwind pacing, irreverent humor and opulent locales that are her trademarks. While these escapades unfold, we must guess which female was a sexually abused arsonist in the 1970s. In Hollywood Husbands, Solomon, Jack, Mannon and Wes seem to have everything Tinsel. Jack's sister, imperious soap-opera star Silver Anderson, doesn't know that her lover is desperately trying to extricate himself from a potentially lethal business deal. Brings together in one volume two of Jackie Collins best-known novels. Marilee Gray - Elaines close friend and the first wife of director Neil Gray. Elaine is a woman ruthlessly driven to improve both her husbands career and her own standing within Tinseltown. It was her ninth novel, and her most successful, selling over 15 million copies. Jack courts an illustrious actress, but he becomes infatuated with Jade Johnson, a willowy, self-possessed model. Hollywood Wives is a 1983 novel by the British author Jackie Collins. Cocaine addict Howard pursues Whitney though he is wed to a gossipy society gadabout. Although Mannon has married compliant young Melanie-Shanna, he vows to win back his ex-wife, Whitney. The central trio in this lengthy saga consists of movie star Mannon Cable, studio executive Howard Soloman and TV talk-show host Jack Python. As in Hollywood Wives, Collins (Lucky colorfully depicts the brash hedonists of Tinseltown, most of whom are motivated by avarice, lust and conceit. Chandler finds himself in Milpitas, California, a small town whose name rings a bell––his closest childhood friend lived there, once upon a time. But now he is being offered the chance for the big break: to move into the house where a pair of briefly notorious murders occurred, apparently the work of disaffected teens during the Satanic Panic of the 1980s. Years later, he is a true crime writer, with one grisly success-and a movie adaptation-to his name, along with a series of subsequent less notable efforts. "Darnielle brings a lyrical, literary tone to a novel that's part crime, part horror and wholly original."- Bookpageįrom John Darnielle, the New York Times bestselling author and the singer-songwriter of the Mountain Goats, comes an epic, gripping novel about murder, truth, and the dangers of storytelling. This program will include original music from the author and his bandmate Matt Douglas from The Mountain Goats. Indeed, from moral dilemmas about abortion and euthanasia, to our obsession with personal rights, to our longing for a sense of meaning in life, our everyday struggles are rife with ethical issues, whether we notice it or not. But ethics is neither futile nor irrelevant, he assures us, but an intimate part of the nitty gritty issues of living-of birth, death, happiness, desire, freedom, pleasure, justice. Drawing on all-too-familiar examples from history, politics, religion and everyday personal experience, he shows how cynicism and self-consciousness can paralyze us into considering ethics a hopeless pursuit. Blackburn dissects many common reasons why we are skeptical about ethics. From political scandals at the highest levels to inflated repair bills at the local garage, we are seemingly surrounded with unethical behavior, so why should we behave any differently? Why should we go through life anchored down by rules no one else seems to follow? Writing with wit and elegance, Simon Blackburn tackles such questions in this lively look at ethics, highlighting the complications and doubts and troubling issues that spring from the very simple question of how we ought to live.

Woodward and Carl Bernstein, his colleague at The Washington Post, used the most famous anonymous source in American history-FBI Associate Director Mark Felt a.k.a. In books about presidents from Nixon to Obama, Woodward has employed a similar approach, conducting exhaustive interviews on background and using the information he gathers to write from an omniscient perspective. This sort of reporting isn’t new for Woodward, nor is he its only practitioner. Those scoops, as Woodward writes in his note to readers, come from hundreds of hours of interviews conducted on “deep background,” meaning that the officials with whom Woodward spoke are not named in the text. The hype was good: for more than a week before its debut, Fear dominated the news cycle, as journalists and pundits parsed the revelations within. On its first day on shelves, 750,000 copies were sold. Bob Woodward’s new book, Fear, a devastating portrait of a presidency lurching from crisis to crisis, is a certified blockbuster. |
