He has written over twenty books and edited countless others. Stephen King's novel The Stand was translated into Spanish as La Danza de la Muerte (which means "Danse Macabre"), generating confusion between the two books. For fans of King's famous novel The Stand there are several pages detailing how King got his inspiration for the book ( Donald DeFreeze and a accidental chemical weapons spill in Utah) and his experience of writing it and getting it published. King peppers his book with informal academic insight, discussing archetypes, important authors, common narrative devices, "the psychology of terror", and his key theory of "Dionysan horror". Danse Macabre explores the history of the genre as far back as the Victorian era, but primarily focuses on the 1950s to the 1970s (roughly the era covering King's own life). The book was released by Everest House in April 20, 1981.ĭanse Macabre examines the various influences on King's own writing, and important genre texts of the 19th and 20th centuries. Danse Macabre is the eleventh book published by Stephen King, and his first nonfiction work. Some of the most successful business leaders today - Satya Nadella at Microsoft, Sunder Pichai at Google, Shantanu Narayen at Adobe, and many more - all played the long game and reaped the benefits of compounding. However, career compounding is a fact, and more thought on mapping long-term goals and aspirations into career planning is worth consideration. Instances of people building a career in one field, or one company, are becoming a rarity. The average tenure for a tech employee is just three years or less. Today, employee cycle times have shortened. It allowed me to seek opportunities, create depth and breadth in various roles, and build deep relationships that have compounded my growth. In the last 35 years of my professional career, I have worked on average about five years at each company, and now at Kalaari for the last 15 years! I always felt right about investing time to deepen my learning and prove my impact as a path to growing myself. While we understand the power of compounding mathematically and financially, we rarely contemplate the value of choices to create a compounding career and compounding relationships. This gripping memoir of addiction takes readers from the highs of Vargas's successful news career to the low of alcoholism, and through the grace of recovery.- Publisher's Weekly, "Read this book. Winner of the Books for a Better Life Award in the First Book category Instant New York Times and USA Today Bestseller Honest and hopeful, Between Breaths is an inspiring read. She addresses her time in rehab, her first year of sobriety, and the guilt she felt as a working mother who could never find the right balance between a career and parenting.

The crepes were excellent, but Rivastar’s were a bit better. Voila, below photo shows the result of my beta recipe. Each rendition dabbled with a few variations of this and that. This first result was encouraging! I’ve now made the breakfast crepes three times. I shopped for the ingredients not found in my pantry, and on a sunny, winter morning created the first test batch of crepes. I pooled the recipe advice given by my cousin, Egle, with that from Rivastar, and from my own cookbooks and a Google search, and synthesized a recipe from all the variations of approaches, ingredients, and proportions. Once I decided to try to make them, the next step was to collect some information. My cousin, Egle, told me she adores them with sliced bananas.įor months since our trip, I have been thinking about these breakfast crepes! Could I replicate them? My father (with his “can do” Lithuanian problem solving genes) instilled in me that I could do anything I put my mind to, so I decided to give this a try. Rather than rolled like French crepes, these are folded, and presented as a plump square or rectangular shape, accompanied by jam and thick, sweet cream. The Lithuanian name is Lietiniai su varske, or crepes filled with soft cheese. The Lithuanian breakfast crepes served at the Rivastar guest house in Palanga near the coast and by the Shakespeare Boutique Hotel in the Old Town section of Vilnius were a taste of heaven. The traditional Lithuanian food we ate during our 2013 trip was SO delicious. Billy Graham is, he says, an anti-Semite who preaches absurd sermons (p. He regards C S Lewis’s work as “dreary and absurd” (p. He feels that no religion can give satisfactory answers to his criticisms (p. Throughout the book he omits the capital G from “God” which is rather childish. His emotive overstatements suggest he may have experienced some deep hurt associated with religion. It is interesting to speculate why he became so bitterly opposed to religion. He followed the example of a fellow pupil who refused to kneel and pray (p. Christopher Hitchens’ book ( God is not great, London, Atlantic Books, 2007) is so high on emotion and extreme language and so low on accuracy that it is hardly worth reading, but it has, I understand, been widely read, so I shall seek to do a proper critique of it.įor some reason Hitchens turned against religion at school. In my teens it was Milan Kundera who made me realise how exciting it would be to write, and Primo Levi who made me realise how important it was, and Tibor Fischer who made me suspect the whole thing would be fun. Is there a particular book or author that inspired you to be a writer?ĭefinitely. Sally Seton, Clarissa Dalloway's childhood companion, when we were all young. Which fictional character would you most like to have met? As in, "Stop doing the nooba, boo-boo, it's way past your bedtime." I like it because you can only say it with a smile. To "do the nooba" is to muck around when you're supposed to be going to sleep. It's a word peculiar to my family, although I can't remember where it came from or which of my kids coined it. What are your top five books of all time, in order or otherwise? Great Lies to Tell Small Kids by Andy Riley The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by CS Lewis Chris Cleave enjoys dialogue with his readers and invites all comers to introduce themselves on Twitter he can be found at /chriscleave or on his website at He lives in London with his wife and three children. His second novel, LITTLE BEE, is a New York Times #1 bestseller with over 2 million copies in print. His debut novel, INCENDIARY, won a 2006 Somerset Maugham Award, was shortlisted for the 2006 Commonwealth Writers' Prize, and is now a feature film. He studied experimental psychology at Balliol College, Oxford. Chris Cleave was born in London and spent his early years in Cameroon. The two begin to plan on how to stop Dedrick before he accomplishes his nefarious plans. Unwilling to leave Rina there, she always goes back. She begins to travel back to report on the happenings with her kindrily. Soon Maryah learns that Rina holds the power to release her soul back to her body. The two girls form an uncertain partnership, slowly learning to trust each other. In the room with her is a young girl names Rina, a conductor who can harness other people's powers with nothing more than a touch. When she goes against her intuition and astral travels to find/spy on Dedrick, she finds herself trapped and unable to return to her body. In this book, Maryah is working on learning to astral travel again. I really enjoyed the new characters like Rina and Evelyn. Although, there may be more to come, because there is a lot of possibility there. Review 2: I thought it was a good conclusion to the series. During the whole time reading this story I wanted to read a review that had spoilers or even flip through all the pages to the end to learn what happened, but when reading the book on a Kindle that isn't so easy. Will all of my questions be answered? Will I like the way things end? When you're in the middle of the series you always feel safe that even if you didn't like the way one of the books left off, at least there's a promise of more to come. Review 1: Whenever you reach the final book of a beloved series there's always a bit of trepidation. |
