![]() ![]() This popularity led to an impressive income for Lee. ![]() ![]() Today, more than 40 million copies have been sold, and the book has also been translated into more than 40 languages. The novel hit bestseller lists back then, and its sales have remained impressive over the years. When To Kill a Mockingbird was first published in 1960, it quickly won over the public. Lee made millions every year from 'Mockingbird' And when Lee first submitted Go Set a Watchman in the 1950s, it was with the hope of seeing it released. Alabama officials investigated and found no evidence that she was a victim of coercion. However, others who've met with Lee have stated that she's behind the decision to publish. In a 2011 letter, Lee's sister Alice had written that Lee would "sign anything put before her by anyone in whom she has confidence." In addition, according to a July 2, 2015, article in The New York Times, her manuscript may have been discovered in 2011, not in 2014 as Lee's lawyer has claimed. ![]() In February 2015, Lee issued a statement that said: "I’m alive and kicking and happy as hell with the reactions to Watchman." But even that message didn't put an end to questions. All this made some wonder whether the author truly wanted to publish Go Set a Watchman, as for years she'd been happy without putting out another book. Lee, who suffered a stroke in 2007, has ongoing health issues that include hearing loss, limited vision and problems with her short-term memory.

Yet, in reality, it’s hidden in plain sight - waiting for a child’s enquiring mind to search it out. The deeper narrative of Hike feels like it’s buried below the surface. They allow observant readers to discover deeper stories hidden below the surface. Despite first impressions, they can have complex narrative structures. But look closely, and you’ll discover an extra purpose behind their trip - told entirely through the illustrations.ĭon’t underestimate wordless (or - in this case - near-wordless) picture books. ![]() And all of those are true for the characters in this book. People hike for various reasons - to connect with nature, to get fresh air and exercise, for the sense of adventure. On one level, you have the basic storyline: a father and child go on an adventure in nature. These more minor details contrast with dramatic scenes of nature, culminating in a double-page vista from the mountain top, complete with soaring eagles. ![]() They load their RV and head out of the city into the wild. ![]() ![]() ![]() Found myself skimming the last few chapters but I was pretty amped up on coffee so didn’t have much patience for a final conflict. And in that sense Well Met delivers! The medieval Faire bits are fun, the characters are mostly likable, there are frequent enough descriptions of men in kilts with well-muscled calves to keep things interesting. I started getting into romcoms last summer as fluffy escapism from everything going on, and in the last eight months as things have grown increasingly dark I’m now averaging one spicy enemies-to-lovers for every two books of any other genre, so at this point, I’m just looking for a fun two-day read with a happy ending, the more bonkers the premise, the better. ![]() ![]() Girl meets boy, girl hates boy, girl joins boy’s small-town Renaissance Faire as a busty tavern wench…you know the drill. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lyra is heading into the North at the end of the book. This went up to about 1/3 of the book is my guess. It's simply not the book, but it did a good job. It's good to have this story in this format, but I also think it could have been better. It's like an outline with characters similar to the book. It was at odds for me and that made it difficult to get into.Īs I said, this is a great way to have a quick reminder of the book, but in no way can this compare to the book. Also, Lyra from the book and how she played out in my head and how she was drawn and acted did not jive very well. I was excited to be back in this world of Lyra. A GN isn't the same as reading the story, but once you have read the story, it's a great way to experience the story again as a quick reminder. I love the story of the Golden Compass and it was one of my favorite book series so I was excited to have a graphic novel representation. ![]() ![]() ![]() Showing the ways in which the human mind errs, systematically, when forced to make judgments, Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky shed new light on how we make decisions. ![]() “People were endlessly complicated and interesting,” Kahneman recalled. ![]() Then he gave Danny some money and sent him on his way. The man didn’t notice the yellow star under his sweater instead, he hugged little Danny and, full of emotion, showed him a photograph of another young boy. Their ideas are everywhere it’s almost impossible to find a book in the “smart thinking” section of a bookshop that doesn’t cite Kahneman and Tversky: an irony since their work highlights many of the ways in which our thinking isn’t smart at all.įor example, they identified the “representativeness heuristic” - our tendency to make judgments by comparing an example to some mental model.Īs an example, in The Undoing Project: A Friendship that Changed the World, Michael Lewis introduces a seven-years-old Danny Kahneman, Paris-raised Jew whose family spending the war dodging the Nazis and their sympathisers, caught on the streets after curfew by an SS soldier. The Undoing Project: A Friendship that Changed the World by Michael Lewis shows the way the friendship between the two gifted young psychology professors Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky laid the foundations of what we now call behavioural economics. ![]() ![]() ![]() Seller if you are the highest bidder at the end of the auction.

Beginning in 1797, and spanning the first half of the 19th century, it tells of the last days of the Bambara Empire (that spanned present-day Mali), and of a West African society disintegrating under the twin forces of Islam and colonialism.įrom the time that Tiekoro, the eldest son of Dousika and Nya Traore, announces his conversion to the new religion of Islam, a curse hangs over the Traore family, intent on claiming each one of their sons. Or, to put it more accurately, it is a story of many first contacts. And now the whites’ ambition knew no bounds. They had brought with them things never before heard of here, and people had fought over them, nation against nation, brother against brother. The whites had come, cadged a little land to build their forts, and then because of them nothing was ever the same again. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Joker has been mysteriously released from Arkham Asylum, and he's not happy about what's been happening in his city while he's been away.
