![]() Strangneth asserts early on that Eichmann Before Jerusalem “is a dialogue with Hannah Arendt,” and it is this promise of a dialogue that makes her book a marketable commodity.Īrendt was an intellectual star who became a lightning rod for controversy when Eichmann in Jerusalem was first serialized in The New Yorker in 1963. The primary reason for this attention is that the book positions itself, as its title suggests, as a response to Hannah Arendt’s 1963 Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil. ![]() ![]() Yet her book was translated from the German, published by the venerable Knopf publishing house in 2014, and widely reviewed here and abroad. In her 2011 book, Eichmann vor Jerusalem: Das unbehelligte Leben eines Massenmörders (Eichmann Before Jerusalem: The Unexamined Life of a Mass Murderer), Bettina Strangneth sets about proving something generally known: that Adolf Eichmann was a zealous Nazi – that he was one during World War II, when he was elevated to the status of Jewish expert and transport Czar, and that he remained one after the War ended, when he and many of his colleagues fled to South America but remained in contact with a broad network of unreconstructed Nazis still in Germany.Īlthough Strangneth elaborates at great length on these facts, nothing that she writes comes as news. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I’ll just set a goal of reading 5 books this month! I think that will be more obtainable! I’ll just read whatever book I pick up, because honestly it’s probably been on my TBR shelf for awhile. I really suck at giving myself a monthly TBR pile, so I’m not going to make one the month of July. House of Ash by Hope Cook 4 out of 5 stars.Rook by Sharon Cameron 4 out of 5 stars.Quinsey Wolfe’s Glass Vault by Candace Robinson 4 out of 5 stars.Bad Blood by Demitria Lunetta 3 out of 5 stars.13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher 4 out of 5 stars.I feel like now that it’s summer I have more time to do things, but I just have no motivation to do so, especially since I am supposed to be writing my thesis which is due at the end of the month! Not bad considering I’ve been reading like one book a month during the Spring semester. ![]() ![]() ![]() But that would have been pure fan boy servicing and would not have added to the story of the current books, These books wrapped up all key storylines and gave us, if not a happy, a totally satisfying ending. ![]() All I can say is I’ll miss the characters and setttings - I was hoping for an epilogue set a few thousand years out as Man finally inched his way out of the local system. Heinoein was a master of his trade but we’ve come a long distance politically, sexeually, and SF content-wise in the last six decades. _Luna: Moon Rising_ seems to be compared against Heinlein’s _The Moon is a Harsh Mistress_ but other than both being set in a future version of settling Luna, the sophistication, style, and storytelling of McDonald give his trilogy a resoundingly different feel on almost every level. The third (and final) book in McDonald’s Five Dragons duology (parse that how you will).

Manwhore was the second series I read by Katy Evans and I had VERY high expectations because Remy (from the Real series) is my favorite guy character in the entire world. Her dream is to write something amazing that will not only put herself on the map to becoming a serious writer but she also wants to help her magazine grow. They are strong, brave, smart, intelligent, hardworking and Rachel is no exception to this. A writer getting close to a billionaire playboy but is really just spying on him to write an article for the magazine she works for? Yikes! One of my favorite things about Katy Evans is her characters don't get me wrong her male guys are great but her female characters make me so proud to be female myself. ![]() ![]() Overall thoughts: I was really intrigued by the synopsis of the Manwhore series because again it's a recipe for disaster if you think about it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you would like to mask a potential spoiler, use the following format: (/spoiler)Īll times in ET (EST/EDT) unless otherwise noted.

The “Pivotal Moments in American History” series seeks to unite the old and the new history, combining the insights and techniques of recent historiography with the power of traditional narrative. A week later Americans held off a counterattack, and in a brilliant tactical move, Washington crept behind the British army to win another victory. Then on Christmas night, George Washington led his men across the Delaware River to destroy the Hessians at Trenton. Six months after the Declaration of Independence, America was nearly defeated. This New York Times best seller is a thrilling account of one of the most pivotal moments in United States history. ![]() ![]() ![]() Written as New York based writer Lucy Barton’s memoir, the story seamlessly moves between Lucy recounting a 1980s hospital stay, her childhood (growing up with a brother and sister and parents she didn’t always get along with, in a financially poor situation), her damaged relationship with her mother, her college years, subsequent married life to a fellow student, William, and her love for her two daughters. I actually read this in one day, as I just couldn’t put it down. Opening sentence: “There was a time, and it was many years ago now, when I had to stay in hospital for almost nine weeks.”ĭon’t you love it when your expectations for a book are not particularly high, but then you end up being totally in awe of it? That is exactly what happened when I picked up My Name is Lucy Barton. ![]() My Name is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout ![]() |
