6/12/2023 0 Comments Solaris stanislaw lem![]() ![]() ![]() One thing is clear: the possibility it offers of alien contact represents "the hope for redemption", a Schopenhauerian longing to be rid of the endless cycle of want, need, and loss. ![]() In how many relationships does the other turn out to be a projected hologram? At the book's heart is the dark and mysterious planet of Solaris: working out what it means is half the fun of the book. As well as being a gripping sci-fi mystery, his novel stands as a profound meditation on the limitations of knowledge and the impossibility of love, of truly knowing another: how a vast, cold galaxy can exist between two people. This fine, new, direct-to-English translation of Solaris allows listeners a new opportunity to marvel at the way Stanisław Lem managed to pack so much into such a compact story. ![]()

It is hilariously funny, and yet so very moving. When I first read a sample of this book I knew I just had to read it all. I think I’m crying (overwhelming, happy tears). Maybe, just maybe, some Rules are meant to be broken. But avoiding her past quickly proves impossible, and the more Parker learns about what really happened–both with Scott, and her dad–the more she starts to question if things are always as they seem. She has enough on her mind already, like trying out for the track team (that’s right, her eyes don’t work but her legs still do), doling out tough-love advice to her painfully naive classmates, and giving herself gold stars for every day she hasn’t cried since her dad’s death three months ago. ![]() When Scott suddenly reappears in her life after being gone for years, Parker knows there’s only one way to react-shun him so hard it hurts. Just ask Scott Kilpatrick, the boy who broke her heart. That’s why she created the Rules: Don’t treat her any differently just because she’s blind, and never take advantage. Parker Grant doesn’t need 20/20 vision to see right through you. ![]() 6/12/2023 0 Comments The quest of the missing map![]() ![]() ![]() Chatham and her young daughter Trixie living on an estate not far away.

The Quest of the Missing Map was published in 1942, shortly after the US entered WWII. And, now that American Girl is going to retire Molly and her friend Emily Bennett, an evacuee from the London Blitz, I thought I would have a look at the Nancy Drew book that sat on Molly's night stand all these years. None other than Nancy Drew, the teenage girl detective who wore frocks and drove a roadster. Mauskopf, American Girl Molly McIntire and I read, and maybe you did, too. What did girls read during WWII when they wanted to get away from the war?
