Preface

“Okay honey, it’s your first time on a plane!” my mother cooed me. I was five then so I didn’t hate it entirely. “I’m ready Mommy!” I said. We sat in section… 1A and 1B.
My mother was overly excited for the both of us because it was also her first time on a plane.
After takeoff, my mother spotted San Diego, which was the wrong direction. We were going to visit my grandparents in Michigan. It felt like the plane was dropping all of a sudden.
“Mommy, are we going to land now?” I asked. “I’m going to go talk to the pilot honey. I’ll be right back.” My mother...

Vampires – just because some of them sparkle doesn’t mean there’re all bad.

The Classical Vampire
The first vampire to appear in fictional literature was created oleh the British penulis John William Polidori in his book ‘The Vampyre’. After this came the rather long short story ‘Carmilla’ oleh Sheridan Le Fanu. But it was a work inspired oleh these two stories that remains the greatest vampire story to this hari – Bram Stoker’s ’Dracula’. ’Dracula’, which was published in 1897, started a Vampire craze the hasn’t ceased yet.

Mmkay, this is a really powerful-but really long- quote and I really hope anda take just a few menit out of whatever you're doing and read it.

"I was telling anda about evil, now that I know what it is. It's what makes a man get drunk and press a red hot poker on his child's back. It's what makes men have to queue for hours at the dock gates for a chance of a job when there are only a dozen jobs for a hundred men, so they fight each other in order to get them, and the foreman laugh and egg them on. It's what takes an old couple who've got nothing left but each other and splits them up to go...

FIRST part of the book series The children of the earth.

This novel of awesome beauty and power is a moving saga about people, relationships, and the boundaries of love.

Through Jean M. Auel’s magnificent storytelling we are taken back to the dawn of modern humans, and with a girl named Ayla we are swept up in the harsh and beautiful Ice Age world they shared with the ones who called themselves The Clan of the Cave Bear.

Besides the book there was a movie in the 80's starring Daryl Hanna (Kill bill).


Totally Amazing!! Every Woman Should read it!!

The 100 Most Influential buku Ever Written: The History of Thought from Ancient Times to Today

I am oleh no means a great votary of any kind of "Best" lists and find them too subjective and at times highfalutin. But this daftar of the 100 most influential & mind-expanding buku ever written seemed quite apposite and all-encompassing. British literary critic & historian Seymour-Smith's survey of what he considers the 100 most influential buku is a searching inquiry into major thinkers, writers and philosophers. Seymour-Smith finds most modernist techniques already...

Daniel Goleman, 2006, 334 pages

Goleman in his groundbreaking book reveals that neural linkages between humans influence the brain and the body. These invisible bridges give us the ability to change people's moods, emotions, and health - as these people can do to us. Relationships not only shape emotional states and general psychological experience, but also the very physiological matter that makes our body. Our interactions with people influences our immune system, circulation, hormones, and breathing for example.

Social Intelligence expands from the one-person psychology within an individual...

Tantalize (Cynthia Leitich Smith) was an awsome book. I really enjoyed it. It had me guessing what was going to happen until the very end!

Here is a piece about the book:

Quincie Morris has never felt lebih alone. Her hybrid werewolf first cinta threatens to embark on a rite of passage that will separate them forever. And just as she and her uncle are about to unveil Austin's red-hot vampire-themed restaurant, a brutal murder leaves them scrambling for a chef. Can Quincie transform the new hire, Henry Johnson, into a culinary Dark Lord before opening night? Will he be able to to wow the crowd in fake fangs, a cheap cape, and red contact lenses? atau is there lebih to his earnest fresh face than meets the eye?

As human and preternatural forces clash a deadly cinta segi tiga, segitiga forms and the line between predator and prey begins to blur. Who's playing whom? And how long can Quincie play along before she loses everything?

"I still get nightmares," begins Johnny Truant, editor of House of Leaves ("House," oleh the way, always colored in blue). He goes on to explain how he stumbled upon the fateful document that would consume him.
