![]() They were genuine, vivid and contributed so much to the story. I also really liked the secondary characters. And he was a smart and witty guy and just a relatable and likable character. And I thought that it was great that he was a person who struggled with depression and other difficulties, but still managed to come off as a no-fuss guy really. ![]() I really, really, REALLY loved this book. This is the story of him coming to turns with his problems and also about his time in the hospital. ![]() He goes there and checks himself in, and actually spends five days in an adult psychiatric ward. He eventually starts to think about killing himself, but instead of going through with it, he calls a suicide hotline, which refers him to a hospital. He stops eating, he can’t sleep and just gets into this dark place. He spends most of his time with his friends chillin’ (aka smoking pot), and just doesn’t deal with life really. He started feeling really depressed and he couldn’t deal with school and just general everyday life really. ![]() He lives in New York and he got into this really important, hard, acclaimed business school, but since the day he started it, he sort of got “bad”. This book is about a fifteen year old boy named Craig who is having certain mental difficulties.

Since its release in June 2020, Kristin Kobes du Mez’s Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation has been required reading for anyone seeking to gain a full perspective on the Christian Nationalist movement in the United States and how it got this way. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() San Juan is starting to develop into a tourist destination but is still a rather wild, corrupt town and Kemp soon falls into a routine of almost constant inebriation among his fellow journalists, a mix of burn outs, chancers and wasters. The story follows journalist Paul Kemp, who in the late 1950s moves to San Juan in Puerto Rico to work for the local English language paper. Written in the early ’60s the book remained unpublished until the late ’90s. ![]() Hunter S Thompson is one of my all time favourite writers and personal heroes, and I have a lot of love for his twisted, dark style, so I was curious to see what his long lost novel would be like. ![]() Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus.

Shelley.] by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley5/10/2023 ![]() Pregnant again only weeks later, she was likely still nursing her second baby when she started writing “Frankenstein,” and pregnant with her third by the time she finished. ![]() “Dream that my little baby came to life again that it had only been cold, and that we rubbed it before the fire, and it lived,” she wrote in her diary. “Nurse the baby, read,” she had written in her diary, day after day, until the eleventh day: “I awoke in the night to give it suck it appeared to be sleeping so quietly that I would not awake it,” and then, in the morning, “Find my baby dead.” With grief at that loss came a fear of “a fever from the milk.” Her breasts were swollen, inflamed, unsucked her sleep, too, grew fevered. ![]() Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley began writing “Frankenstein or, the Modern Prometheus” when she was eighteen years old, two years after she’d become pregnant with her first child, a baby she did not name. ![]() To hear more feature stories, download the Audm app for your iPhone. ![]() ![]() ![]() Trying to get to the bottom of Billy’s story, Strike and Robin Ellacott – once his assistant, now a partner in the agency – set off on a twisting trail that leads them through the backstreets of London, into a secretive inner sanctum within Parliament, and to a beautiful but sinister manor house deep in the countryside.Īnd during this labyrinthine investigation, Strike’s own life is far from straightforward: his newfound fame as a private eye means he can no longer operate behind the scenes as he once did.
