It's presented in what McLuhan calls "a mosaic or field approach" which eschews chapters, instead splitting up into one-to-three page sections while using tons of quotations (sometimes extremely long ones) from a wide variety of books to illustrate his ideas (or, as he prefers to call them, "probes" or "percepts"). Published exactly 50 years ago in 1962, The Gutenberg Galaxy is an examination of the major effect the printing press had on human sensory awareness. I approached it thinking it'd be like any other analytical academic text but it's something very different. It certainly lacks the pleasing poetic language of Ulysses, but is equally massive in its references and often cuts jarringly from one huge concept to the next. Though it sparked many new ideas for me that completely altered my perspective on things, I mostly found it as puzzling and challenging to get through as my first reading of Ulysses. This incredibly dense and thoughtful text occupied a good portion of my mental energy in the final months of 2011 and into early 2012. Going through some of the unwritten or uncompleted pieces I had intended to write this year, it occurs to me that a long-planned review of Marshall McLuhan's The Gutenberg Galaxy just isn't going to happen in the way I'd hoped. The year is quickly reaching its conclusion, the nights growing longer as the hours of sunlight decline daily. Deborah Baker are just children’s tales, not the blueprint for the mythical Doctrine of Ethos that they were designed to embody. To Roger and Dodger, the Up-and-Under books by A. She provides excerpts from the imagined books between chapters, which prove whimsical and absurd enough to feel at home alongside C.S. Like the world of Fillory in Lev Grossman’s Magicians series, McGuire also grants Middlegame a fictional children’s fantasy world, the Up-and-Under. While the alchemists plot and scheme, Roger and Dodger are unaware of any nefarious designs on their lives, alternately taking solace in and being terrified by their unique connection. Middlegame is powered by alchemy, a blending of magic and science, twisted by those seeking to unlock the mysteries of the universe and hold its absolute power. Theirs is a world anchored in both reality and fantasy, and that dichotomy is at the heart of McGuire’s tale. They face the same problems as any hyper-intelligent kid in America, but they do so with a quantum pen pal they’re able to see through one another’s eyes and hear one another’s words from Stanford to Boston. In Seanan McGuire’s new novel Middlegame, those pairs take the form of Roger and Dodger, a boy who loves words and a girl who loves math. Quantum entanglement-a physical phenomenon that occurs between pairs of particles, no matter the distance between them-is as close to magic as anything described by science.

North by Night: A Story of the Underground Railroad by Katherine Ayres It's 1851 and Lucy Spencer's family is keeping a secret. Ayres peppers her story with vivid period details (including descriptions of the city's immigrant population), but the historical color cannot salvage a disappointing, often unappetizing plot. Clues as to what might be making his grandfather sick, and what may be killing rats (as well as two hobos) around town, spur Mike into an urgent and dangerous bit of sleuthing. But Mike finds it difficult to feel lucky as a boy bullies him at school and as his grandfather's deteriorating mental health is compounded by increasing bouts of gastric distress. Mike even has his own job, trapping rats in the storeroom. Mike Costa knows his family is fortunate-their Italian food market, Costa Brothers Fine Foods, holds its own while many businesses are failing. Ayres ( Voices at Whisper Bend) takes to the gritty streets of the Strip, the warehouse district in Pittsburgh, for a Depression-era tale steeped in mystery and exploring family ties. Known for his biting wit, he became one of the most successful playwrights of the late Victorian era in London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. He was an Irish playwright, poet, and author of numerous short stories and one novel. About the Author Oscar Fingal OFlahertie Wills Wilde was born on the 16th October 1854 and died on the 30th November 1900. First published in its complete, uncensored form in 1891, it is Oscar Wildes only novel. The Picture of Dorian Gray is an exploration of the purpose of art, the superficial nature of youth and beauty, and the conflict between morality and intemperance. Only his portrait, hidden to the world, bears the marks of his actions, and as his soul grows ever more wasted and corrupted, devastating consequences lie in wait. His wish is granted, and over the ensuing years, Dorian indulges in every kind of vice and pleasure, never ageing nor disfiguring. Afraid that his youth and looks will waste away, Dorian expresses a wish that his portrait, and not he, will age and fade over time. When Basil Hallward paints the portrait of young, handsome Dorian Gray, he falls prey to his dazzling beauty. The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY REVIEW for MORE THAN YOU KNOW – But instead of quenching the fire, the intense encounter only proves how much they have to lose-or win… Still, their chemistry is unlike anything she’s known, and when it becomes too much to resist, they agree to one no-strings night together.
