![]() ![]() But it’s not a tropical whirlwind, nor proximity, nor the ample pressure from family and friends, that gets Priscilla and Juan Pablo past everything keeping them apart. Now, in their early 30s, the last break seems to have stuck - until a friend’s wedding in the Dominican Republic brings them back together. They’ve had a rocky relationship ever since Priscilla enrolled in the police academy but Juan Pablo, instead of joining her there as planned, went to grad school instead. AMERICAN SWEETHEARTS (Carina Press, 284 pp., paper, $ 8.99), the fourth book in Adriana Herrera’s Dreamers series (though it works beautifully alone), opens about a year after the high school sweethearts Priscilla and Juan Pablo have broken up for what really seems to be the last time. ![]() Maybe the most romantic being swept away is by someone you’ve known almost your whole life. ![]() ![]() For any of those excuses, or none at all, here are seven new romances to sweep you away. Say you want to go to a game convention, a tropical island, a magical garden or a sparkling lake, with a writer, an architect, a feminist activist, a duke or another duke. Say you want to explore traditional gender roles, or invert them, or find a way to happiness through them or despite. Say you want something steamy in summer or cozy in winter, or the state of the world has you desperate for a literary happy ending. You don’t need an excuse to read romance, though if one helps, I won’t object. ![]()

It doesn't have coups, recklessly overfish, arm disagreeable despots, grow coca in provocative quantities or throw its weight around in a brash and unseemly manner.īut even allowing for all this, our neglect of Australian affairs is curious. From time to time it sends us useful things - opals, merino wool, Errol Flynn, the boomerang - but nothing we can't actually do without. Its population, about 19 million, is small by world standards - China grows by a larger amount each year - and its place in the world economy is consequently peripheral as an economic entity, it is about the same size as Illinois. ![]() ![]() ![]() Australia is, after all, mostly empty and a long way away.

Through his simple words, he tries to nudge creative minds and steer their hearts. ![]() Kalam speaks to youngsters about transforming India in the Preface of his book. In his book, Dr Kalam tried to approach the minds of young Indians to ignite their psyche and lead India to the transformation it deserves. Ignited Minds addresses the young population of India. Here are 3 books you should read by APJ Abdul Kalam Ignited Minds On his birth anniversary, and as we remember him, it would be best to read some of his many works.

I decided to start with a review on Tokio Blues, not because it is a simple book, but because it is one of the shortest. Whoever loves Japan and the Japanese authors and hasn’t read Murakami left its homework right in the middle of it. ![]() I am not sure what he thinks about this.īut it is clear that he is a great writer. Now the feeling runs through the whole world. I read that when thousands of people idolized him in Japan in the nineties he hated it. Murakami has hundreds of thousands of followers that constantly advocate for a Literature Nobel Prize. They have a lot of political, social and literary content. Murakami is a Japanese writer, author of various novels, all of them fantastically written and extremely imaginative and detailed. ![]() Because you take the risk of categorize him and this is not possible. Talking about Haruki Murakami is dangerous. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kierkegaard also comments that anxiety is future driven. Anxiety arises from the possibilities in the world. Therefore, the presence of free will causes anxiety because we can make any decision we want. Kierkegaard writes ‘anxiety is the dizziness of freedom’ and later states ‘anxiety is constantly to be conceived here in terms of freedom. One idea that I found particularly engaging is that anxiety is the result of freedom. On the other hand, its comments on anxiety are still sometimes thought-provoking. Yet in this post I shall still discuss the observations I found most interesting and useful, alongside other ideas which were present throughout the text. ![]() Did the book do this? Unfortunately, apart from a few observations, it generally did not provide a complete answer, in my opinion, on how to approach anxious situations. I am a firm believer in the idea that philosophy should have a practical impact. I bought this book hoping to find a philosophical approach to anxiety which may help with that state of mind which we all sometimes find ourselves in. ![]() Nevertheless, the focus on ‘anxiety’ is an interesting one. Concepts such as ‘sin’ and ‘guilt’ are found throughout and it is not always easy understanding what Kierkegaard means when engaging with the Christian faith. ![]() I must admit approaching this post that I found this book a challenging, but equally rewarding, book. In this post I shall discuss my experience of reading Søren Kierkegaard’s ‘The Concept of Anxiety’, also sometimes known as ‘The Concept of Dread’. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Graces, truths, and beauties of brutality. This is fifty years of my sights and seens, felts and figured-outs, cools and shamefuls. I found a reliable theme, an approach to living that gave me more satisfaction, at the time, and still: If you know how, and when, to deal with life’s challenges-how to get relative with the inevitable-you can enjoy a state of success I call “catching greenlights.” So I took a one-way ticket to the desert and wrote this book: an album, a record, a story of my life so far. I found stories I experienced, lessons I learned and forgot, poems, prayers, prescriptions, beliefs about what matters, some great photographs, and a whole bunch of bumper stickers. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.
