Wilde wrote the letter between January and March 1897, close to the end of his imprisonment. The letter begins "Dear Bosie" and ends "Your Affectionate Friend". In the second half, Wilde charts his spiritual development in prison and identification with Jesus Christ, whom he characterises as a romantic, individualist artist. He indicts both Lord Alfred's vanity and his own weakness in acceding to those wishes. In its first half, Wilde recounts their previous relationship and extravagant lifestyle which eventually led to Wilde's conviction and imprisonment for gross indecency. De Profundis (Latin: "from the depths") is a letter written by Oscar Wilde during his imprisonment in Reading Gaol, to "Bosie" ( Lord Alfred Douglas).

The world(s) building is amazing, the characters unforgettable. She covers everything so smoothly it just keeps you turning the pages (or in my case never hitting stop on my phone). But I'm happy to tell you that Ten Thousand Skies Above You held it's on and was just as amazing (if not more so) than the first novel! I don't know how Claudia Gray does it, but she has created this amazing world that should be too complicated for someone to understand (we're talking a gazillion dimensions here), but at no point was I ever confused as to what was going on or felt lost. sometimes I'm afraid to read the second book in a series because I'm usually terrified that there is no way it will be as good as the first one. Well, Tavia Gilbert does such a phenomenal job in this series I completely forget that I'm listening to only one person (or that I'm actually listening to anyone at all- most of the time I'm too completely absorbed in the story). If you listen to audiobooks like I do, you know that a narrator can either make or a break a book that you listen to. You can argue with me, but you'd be wrong. But still! Just to do a simple recap, I reread (listened) to the first book in this series (you can find my original review here) last week and finished this book today and I was not disappointed! First off, let me just say that Tavia Gilbert is the BEST narrator. I missed out on a ton of good books that year. More of this review and others at: Whimsically Bookish WHY has it taken me two years to read this?! Oh. It was the depth of this relationship that made the book's ending so poignant. But the best part of this book was watching the relationship develop between Jeremy and his dragon. The plot of this book had enough depth to it to hold everyone's interest (including mine). But when he wonders into a magic shop one day after school, he's faced with a task that is anything but typical, hatching and raising a dragon. His art teacher gives him a hard time, even though art is his best subject. Jeremy Thatcher is a sixth grader, and his struggles are typical for his age. The series also includes Jennifer Murdley's Toad, which both of my boys heard at school. I loved this book, and so did both my first-grader and my fourth-grader! This is one of Bruce Coville's Magic Shop Books. Can they trust each other? Help each other? You want it for them. Travis and Velveeta like each other-really like each other-but relationship is complicated between two eighth graders, especially when each has a big secret. So we get to see what Travis is feeling and Velveeta shows her feelings. Vivacious Velveeta, in the first person, writes to Calvin. Taciturn Travis is voiced in the third person, which is perfect for his strong silent character. Actually, the scarves belonged to Calvin’s wife, but she’s been gone for years. Velveeta inherited the scarves from Calvin, the old man who lived in the next trailer, the one who bought her school supplies each year, who helped her build confidence, but now he’s died. The only bright spark in his life is classmate, Velveeta, who is the liveliest, flirtiest girl, who wears old lady scarves-different colors every day-with her hoody. Grandpa has stopped drinking, but Travis knows it won’t last. Travis’ heart is broken over his lost hound, Roscoe. In Pat Schmatz’s “Bluefish” (Candlewick 2011), Travis, 13, has to move into town and live with Grandpa. His drawings appeared regularly in The New Yorker and The New York Times.Ī learn-as-you-go illustrator, David’s books have been translated into several languages, made into animated films and musicals, and have won many of the top awards accorded to illustration, including the 1997 Caldecott Honor and The Christopher Medal for The Gardener written by his wife, Sarah Stewart, and the 2001 Caldecott Medal for So, You Want To Be President? by Judith St. Although tenure at the college did not follow, many more picture books did, as well as extensive work for national magazines and newspapers. After getting his MFA at the Yale Graduate School of Art, David taught art for many years on the college level, ran a film series, and made satirical sketches for campus newspapers.Īpproaching tenure, he wrote and illustrated a picture book, Eulalie and the Hopping Head, which he took to New York, pounding the pavements and collecting rejections for a month in the dead of winter. He switched his major to Art and never looked back. At 21, after many years of writing plays, David took the advice of a friend who informed him that the doodles he made on the telephone pad were better than anything he had ever written. In school he became known as “the kid who could draw good,” but David never considered a career in art because it was so easy for him. David Small was born and raised in Detroit. economy, in addition to being the largest, has some unique advantages. stocks might continue to outperform.įirst, the U.S. But those who believe in a domestic-only strategy aren’t just relying on past performance. It might seem that investors who limit themselves to domestic stocks are making a fundamental mistake in assuming that U.S. In the investment world, the standard disclaimer is that past performance does not guarantee future results. That includes, notably, Jack Bogle, the late founder of the Vanguard Group, who said he never owned international stocks in his own portfolio. Because of this sustained outperformance, many investors have long since thrown in the towel on international stocks. stocks have outperformed their international peers, on average, for more than 30 years. Which has delivered the 12 years of outperformance? As you might guess, it’s the S&P 500. It’s the most commonly referenced index for developed international stock markets. stock market, while EAFE stands for Europe, Australasia and Far East. The S&P 500 is broadly representative of the U.S. The two investments in question are the S&P 500 and the EAFE Index. On the surface, they look similar, except one has outperformed the other in 12 of the past 15 years. SUPPOSE YOU WERE presented with two prospective investments. Jean Simmons's Helen Lawson is sickeningly un-evil. When Hamel's brittle, unappealing Jennifer committed suicide, I was glad I didn't have to put up with her any longer! Bert Convy is gratingly awful as Tony, Catherine Hicks is dishwater-dull as Anne, and Lisa Hartman is hopelessly miscast as the toned-down Neely. Note the way she smokes her cigarettes-she's trying so hard to appear stylish and feminine that she looks like a drag queen. The only shock is seeing David (Last House on the Left) Hess as a Frenchman named Robaire! And the acting! Veronica Hamel is a terrible actress and has none of the delicate poignancy that Sharon Tate possessed. Neely herself goes from hell-on-heels to poor put-upon li'l sugarpie with eyes full of tears and a box full of "rainbows"-the term "dolls" is never used. Ted is no longer Neely's long-suffering bisexual husband, but her womanizing, domineering manager. It bears almost no relationship to the book-the storyline takes completely different directions, the material is diluted so much that it's rendered pointless, and the elements of the characters are entirely changed. However, why they had to make this ultra-bland piece of garbage is beyond me. I positively adore Jackie Susann's novel, and the 1967 version was a lot of fun (though it hardly did the book justice).

Cleanliness is second to mind-bending sex However, if you can control your mind, you can enjoy sex and have mind-shattering orgasms. Bottoming isn’t just physical – getting penetrated it’s also emotional – accepting and welcoming another’s presence in your body. Forget the D and bubbly butts the mind is where the magic happens. Your brain is the biggest and most important sexual organ. While doing it, don’t think about the pain you may feel instead, focus on relaxing, breathing deeply, and letting go. Visualize enjoying it and having a fun experience. If you think and believe you can handle D like a champ, and bottom like a porn star (cue visualizations), then you probably will. It sounds cliche,’ but that psycho mumbo-jumbo actually works. There is a lot you can do to receive and enjoy any anaconda. It’s time to turn you into a porn star-like bottom. If their sounds and the celestial look on their faces are anything to go by, these guys are having loads of fun. As a result, they end up clenching their anal muscles, which makes it even more painful.Ĭontrast that experience to that of bottom porn stars who seem to swallow cock with ease and glee. The thought of a schlong up your peach scares the hell out of some guys. This article was published on October 28th, 2020īottoming is a pain in the butt for most gay men. |
