![]() ![]() The surprising level of violence changes the mood of the narrative. ![]() ![]() There are moments that make you feel claustrophobic, with the rooms offering no windows and a playground surrounded by a large fence. It is only enhanced by the description of the setting. It is almost as painful for the reader as it is for the characters. Not only are they taken away from home, but they also can’t ask or do anything about their current situation. The procedures are explicitly described and that helps the reader feel how much the kids are being violated. If they complain or argue, they are physically abused by the staff. They suffer through painful and humiliating procedures, including taking endless shots. ![]() They don’t have access to the world outside of the Institute’s walls. Those who end up at the Institute are branded as TP (telepathy) or TK (telekinesis). However, all that changes when he is taken to the Institute. Luke is a prodigy and has been accepted into two colleges. It is a page-turning narrative that tells the tale of becoming an adult even when you are only a child. Stephen King’s new book, “The Institute,” tells the story of Luke, a 12-year-old boy who is kidnapped and brought to a facility, the Institute, because of his psychic abilities. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Haruki murakami dark night![]() ![]() ![]() The rest of the world is asleep, but Murakami’s cast of characters are wide awake amid a Tokyo “amusement district.” In fact, the slim novel could more aptly be titled After Midnight, because all but four minutes of it take place at night after the stroke of 12. To keep up the American pop culture analogy - which seems fitting, since the Japanese novelist operated a suburban Tokyo jazz club before he became a writer, and is just as likely to reference Love Story or Hall and Oates as he is Dostoevsky or Bach - After Dark exists in the same middle-of-the-night netherworld as Martin Scorsese’s 1985 film After Hours. ![]() For that, you’ll have to go to either his mind-blowing masterwork, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (1998), or the nearly as good Kafka on the Shore (2006). As such, it doesn’t take in the full breadth of Murakami’s dynamic range. It’s like an understated Bruce Springsteen album that arrives between E Street Band opuses. Haruki Murakami alternates capacious novels that move in and out of the material and Shinto spirit worlds with low-key, quieter meditations that function as philosophical mood pieces.Īfter Dark falls into the latter category. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s late 1950’s Beaufort, South Carolina, and Landon is taught things about himself that he never anticipated when he realizes that he loves Jamie – an innocent, homely, kind and unfailingly Christian girl who he’s known his entire life but never really seen. ![]() To be honest, it was a fully selfish choice – with dozens and dozens of books peering at me threateningly from the TBR shelf, I just wanted to curl into the book equivalent of the fetal position and read something I know wouldn’t really make me think, wouldn’t take too long to read (nothing gets you out of a slump better than the feeling of accomplishment of finishing a book!) and would take me down an emotional path I knew how to walk (I always cry, but I always know when I’m going to cry, so it’s beauty in the predictibility!)Ī Walk to Remember, for the few of you who have managed to avoid either the book or the movie, is about a young man, Landon Carter, who falls in love at 17 with the preacher’s daughter, Jamie Sullivan. Which explains, I think, why I picked up this slim little volume when I was trying so desperately to pull myself out of my reading slump. ![]() That isn’t to impute on his skill or on those who fully admire his work, but for me his books have always been more about escapist fluff than serious literature. Nicholas Sparks, I will admit, is a purely guilty pleasure author for me. ![]() 5/9/2023 0 Comments The Ascendant by Drew Chapman![]() ![]() In this explosive debut novel, ranging from the offices of Wall Street to the casinos of Vegas to the back roads of the Chinese countryside, Drew Chapman introduces listeners to a new kind of action hero: One uniquely skilled to fight a new kind of war. ![]() And everyone else?

In the 1860s he illustrated a French edition of Cervantes's Don Quixote, and his depictions of the knight and his squire, Sancho Panza, have become so famous that they have influenced subsequent readers, artists, and stage and film directors' ideas of the physical "look" of the two characters. Doré worked primarily with wood engraving… At the age of fifteen Doré began his career working as a caricaturist for the French paper Le Journal pour rire, and subsequently went on to win commissions to depict scenes from books by Rabelais, Balzac, Milton and Dante.
