![]() He also goes into great detail about how the hides were "droughed" (carried on the head) to the rowboats from the various ports to the ship, transported to port where they were again off-loaded to be stored until a certain tonnage was achieved. His descriptions as well of how a sailing vessel was laid out, the masts, the work of furling and unfurling sails in all kinds of weather (such as rounding Cape Horn in the Antarctic winter), keeping watch, and how sailors ate were exacting and well-written. He does not shy away from his first days with sea-sickness, to the quarters where he and his shipmates lived and slept on hammocks, to the times of watches and what was expected, to the perils they encountered bringing hides from one port of California to the other where they were stored prior to shipment. And it sailed out of Boston in 1834, before the railroads were built.ĭana was college-educated and kept a detailed diary on which he based this book. The ship to which he signed sailed cattle hides from California to Boston. I've heard that term and never really understood what it meant until now. Young Richard Dana find that his life has left him with no choice but to enlist in the Merchant Marines. ![]() ![]() ![]() A very, very good book with such detail about ships and sailing and masts and jibs and what-not. ![]()

Brief Summary of Book: Calle Dublin (Calle Dublin, #1) by Samantha Young ![]() ![]() ![]() Walls spoke secrets, joists told tales and the rafters enclosed stories as well as resident woodland creatures. It was an epic, resolute campaign against ancient wood, copper, mortar and linoleum, against soil, grout and glue, against mice, raccoons and squirrels. Giffel’s untethered expectations met human limitations. “We belonged here.” Of course, funny stuff ensued as ancient lath and plaster gave way to wallboard, rust yielded to pipe, openings in the roof were shingled and the shambles became a home. “We knew,” writes the author, implicating his understanding spouse, whose second pregnancy made the move to larger quarters more urgent. It had all the structural integrity of a house of cards, but it boasted a billiard room. The decaying old manse on North Portage Path in Akron, Ohio, was composed largely of rot, rust and mold, along with a bit of residual brick. Though not a structural engineer like his father, Akron Beacon Journal columnist (and former Beavis and Butt-Head writer) Giffels was seriously into the form of obsession known as do-it-yourself. It’s the age-old story of residence against man as the author builds his dream house. ![]() ![]() ![]() The narrator pretends to follow his orders, but she is unable to sleep and simply follows the pattern of the wallpaper with her eyes. The pattern becomes bars, and the figure of a woman becomes very clear.Īs the days pass, John makes the narrator lie down more often for her health. By moonlight, the pattern looks completely different. ![]() ![]() She notices that when the first ray of sunlight shoots through the east window, the pattern changes quickly. She is appalled at the irritating pattern and still cannot understand how the pattern can be so torturous. The wallpaper's pattern continues to absorb the narrator. He goes to sleep, but the narrator stays up for hours staring at the wallpaper. She responds with "Better in body perhaps," but John interrupts and urges her not to think about such things. She asks him if they can leave, but he says their lease is up in three weeks and their house is still being remodeled besides, she looks like she is getting better. Rather than wake him, the narrator gets out of bed to look at the female figure in the wall. ![]() Yet, the narrator feels insecure talking about her case because she does not want him to think that she doubts him or loves him any less. She hopes to convince him to let them leave the nursery despite her preoccupation with the wallpaper, she still feels something ominous about it. One night, the narrator decides that she should talk about her case with John. ![]() ![]() The New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of The Huntress and The Alice Network returns with another heart-stopping World War II story of three female code breakers at Bletchley Park and the spy they must root out after the war is over. ![]() Quinn’s meticulous research and impeccable characterization shine through this gripping and beautifully executed novel.” (Beatriz Williams, New York Times best-selling author of Her Last Flight) The Rose Code effortlessly evokes the frantic, nervy, exuberant world of the Enigma codebreakers through the eyes of three extraordinary women who work in tireless secrecy to defeat the Nazis. ![]() “The hidden history of Bletchley Park has been waiting for a master storyteller like Kate Quinn to bring it to life. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first half of the novel gives us a vivid portrait of Mary Beth Latham's life, her cozy love for her ophthalmologist husband, her challenging relationships with her three teenage children - Ruby, the oldest, a "confidently distinctive" high school student who writes poetry fraternal twins Alex (one of the "polo shirt boys" who seem to have an easy life) and "always eccentric" Max - and her satisfying small-town landscape business. Quindlen starts simply: "This is my life: The alarm goes off at five-thirty with the murmuring of a public-radio announcer, telling me there has been a coup in Chad, a tornado in Texas." How well can we protect our children from the cruelty of the world? That's a question best-selling author and former columnist Anna Quindlen explores in her sixth novel, Every Last One, which despite its dark themes and violent scenes, is buoyed by her winning voice. In 2000, Anna Quindlen became the first writer to have books appear on The New York Times best-seller lists for fiction, nonfiction and self-help. ![]() ![]() One was to actually just substantiate my own arguments. And for the latter there were two things I needed to do. Q: How challenging was it to write this book? What kind of research did you undertake?Ī: Plenty of research is necessary because it’s one thing delivering a 15-minute speech and another writing a 333-page book. If they did, the speech wouldn’t have gone viral.” - which was a valid point. But when the speech went viral the publisher called me and said, “Do you want to write it as a book?” I said, “Doesn’t everyone know this?” He said, “No. I was basically saying things I thought every Indian who had been educated more or less knew. To be honest I almost tossed it off - it didn’t require a whole lot of research. Q: What prompted you to write “An Era of Darkness”?Ī: In fact, it was my publisher's idea because I made the speech at Oxford. Tharoor spoke to Reuters about the book, his research and why he thinks the British owe India an apology. ![]() Shashi Tharoor, a member of parliament from India's main opposition Congress party, speaks during an interview at his office in New Delhi, India, January 25, 2016. ![]() ![]() That is, until she meets an elderly man named Charlie. She feels as if a gigantic chunk of her life is missing. She feels isolated and as if no one wants to be her friend. ![]() Most of us have had our share of these feelings, which is why we can relate to Joey. ![]() I don't know much about these special days, so I can't exactly contribute to their conversations. Many of my good friends follow the Christian religion, and they sometimes talk about Christmas, Easter, and other Christian holidays. I have felt a bit left out before because I practice the Jewish religion, which is fairly uncommon in my area. If Joey wishes to speak with him, her mother (or someone else whose lips are easy to read) needs to interpret. One of these individuals is her own stepfather, whose facial hair covers his mouth. The young teenager feels painfully lonesome, what with the constant teasing from peers and the fact that many individuals' lips are impossible to read. Making it even harder, her mother, who is ashamed of her deafness, does not let Joey use any sign language. ![]() She is almost completely deaf, but can speak. Joanne "Joey" Willis, the main character of Hurt Go Happy, faces this situation. I'd need to read their lips or communicate in sign language with them, which would have to be tough. I can’t imagine what life would be like if everyday sounds, such as the voices of my friends and family, weren't included. ![]() ![]() ![]() While Jackson doesn't entirely avoid clich s, the care that she's taken in developing the relationships between the Slocumb women makes up for it. Jackson's newest (after Backseat Saints) is highly immersive, evoking the suffocation of rural Mississippi and using a teen pregnancy mystery to create a compelling page-turner. A Grown Up Kind of Pretty is a powerful saga of three generations of women, plagued by hardships and torn by a devastating secret, yet inextricably joined by. Along the way Mosey puts her life in danger and learns a thing or two about family. Their quest, told in alternating points-of-view among all main characters, uncovers an old feud between Liza and best friend Melissa, an illicit affair, the vengeance of the thwarted party, and drug addiction long hidden. This macabre discovery sends Mosey, Ginny, and Big in search of answers about the baby and Mosey's identity. Wanting to put a pool in the yard for Liza's water therapy, Ginny has a willow uprooted, unearthing the bones of a baby Liza's baby. But the curse strikes in a different form, bringing a stroke to Liza that renders her mute and crippled, leaving her husband "Big" to care for her. ![]() Now it's Mosey who's 15, and she's nervous. Ginny gave birth to Liza when she was 15. The Slocumb women suffer from an unfortunate curse: every 15 years something bad happens. ![]() |
