The book includes new walks through LGBTQ Greenwich Village, through Forest Hills, Queens, and Mott Haven, in the Bronx. ![]() The walks unpacked the essence of urban life and its social fabric-the history, plans, laws, feats of structural engineering, architectural highlights, and everyday realities that make up a place Kimmelman calls “humanity’s greatest achievement.”įilled with stunning photographs documenting the city during the era of COVID, The Intimate City is the ultimate insider’s guide. ![]() These intimate, funny, richly detailed conversations between Kimmelman and his companions became anchors for millions of Times readers during the pandemic. What began with a lighthearted trip to explore Broadway’s shuttered theater district and a stroll along Museum Mile when the museums were closed soon took on a much larger meaning and ambition. At a scary moment when everything seemed uncertain, walking around New York served as a reminder of all the ways the city was still a rock, joy, and inspiration. Wherever they liked, he wrote-preferably someplace meaningful to them, someplace that illuminated the city and what they loved about it. As New York came to a halt with COVID, Michael Kimmelman composed an email to a group of architects, historians, writers, and friends, inviting them to take a walk. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was only when I talked about it with my great Aunt Judy, who had given me the book, that I resumed reading. ![]() ![]() I couldn’t believe that an author would do such a thing! When my favourite character met a most untimely end, I put the book down and refused to read on. I remember reading the book for the first time when I was perhaps nine or ten. The story is a lot of fun, but it also has some tragic moments. The father was a gruff army captain, and his young wife was a sweet and kind stepmother to the children, most of whom were spirited and often mischievous. This is an Australian classic that tells he story of the Woolcot family, and is set near Sydney in the late 19th century. My copy of ‘Seven Little Australians’ is rather tattered and the worse for wear, a result of having been read many, many times. ![]() ![]() ![]() He flies over the roof of her car, and lands in the street. A young man is hit while weaving in and out of traffic on his motorcycle. While she is trying to remember where she is headed and why she isn't in school, there is an accident. In fact, this is exactly the situation in the opening pages. ![]() The story begins with Molly confessing that she sometimes finds herself in unfamiliar places and doing things without any idea of how or why. It is difficult to set this book aside, because the reader is so drawn into the question of why Molly has gaps in her memory and why she meets up with people who seem to know her. They are likable also, as are the more peripheral characters. They are all well-rounded and interesting characters. Molly's family owns a bookstore, and she has a sister who is wise beyond her years, and a sympathetic brother. There is mystery, too, one that revolves around the young, main character. This book, however, is filled with friendship, family, and the struggles of a young girl. ![]() Today, there is a huge audience for paranormal reads, and I like them also. Many young-adult books are filled with vampires and shape changers. "The Half Life of Molly Pierce" is a young-adult novel written by Katrina Leno. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The story is centered around a dysfunctional family in a small Midwestern town in 1971. I’m happy enough to go all in on this story, though – I’m here to report that this book was very good, maybe even great. At nearly 600 pages, this book is an investment – and now I suppose I’ve committed myself to reading at least two more, quite likely of similar length. Comparisons aside, this novel was very intimate for a book of its length. ![]() So I cannot compare any of Franzen’s previous writing to this book – I won’t be able to say whether this is better or worse than The Corrections. I know Franzen is wildly popular, and from my own hometown, and writes the sort of books that I enjoy – but I haven’t read any of his work before this book. Because, essentially, it is just a chapter break.īut that’s the end, and you’ll start this book at the beginning. Knowing that helped me to understand the end of this novel, which feels less like a conclusion and more like a chapter break. I came across that piece of information before I finished the novel but after I was well into it. Something I wasn’t aware of when I read this book (I’m not quite sure how I missed it) but other potential readers may want to know – this book is meant to be the first in a trilogy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Always quick to shed tears, Charlie also feels guilty about the death of his Aunt Helen, a troubled woman who lived with Charlie’s family at the time of her fatal car wreck. An epistolary novel addressed to an anonymous “friend,” Charlie’s letters cover his first year in high school, a time haunted by the recent suicide of his best friend. But Charlie’s no rich kid: the third child in a middle-class family, he attends public school in western Pennsylvania, has an older brother who plays football at Penn State, and an older sister who worries about boys a lot. Like Holden, Charlie oozes sincerity, rails against celebrity phoniness, and feels an extraliterary bond with his favorite writers (Harper Lee, Fitzgerald, Kerouac, Ayn Rand, etc.). More sophisticated readers might object to the rip-off of Salinger, though Chbosky pays homage by having his protagonist read Catcher in the Rye. ![]() Aspiring filmmaker/first-novelist Chbosky adds an upbeat ending to a tale of teenaged angst-the right combination of realism and uplift to allow it on high school reading lists, though some might object to the sexuality, drinking, and dope-smoking. ![]() ![]() ![]() In addition to his work as an author, Jon also runs a web-based literacy program called “Guys Read” that is designed to encourage boys, particularly reluctant readers, to get involved with books.
