Download or read book Strange Heaven written by Lynn Coady and published by Fredericton, N.B. : Goose Lane. This book was released on 1998 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strange Heaven is tearfully hilarious, as funny and appalling as real life. Bridget Murphy, almost 18, has gone to Halifax from industrial Cape Breton, had her baby, and given it up for adoption. She's apathetic, the doctors decide, so they transfer her to the psych ward of the children's hospital. There, she's cooped up with five seriously disturbed teenagers and a flock of wan children. Sent home for Christmas, Bridget faces domestic uproar. Her grandmother, Margaret P., raves and prays from her bed, banging the wall with her bedpan. Bridget's kind-hearted parents, Robert and Joan, also take care of Robert's mentally handicapped brother, Rollie. Joan's efforts to keep the lid on are no match for Robert's wild profanity, Margaret's dementia, and Rollie's efforts to join the fray. Bridget's boozy friends, her whining ex-boyfriend, and the family chaos make up a "strange heaven" in which her apathy starts to lift. Her vague plan to hibernate at home forever is off. Whatever she does, her drifting days are over.

Book Synopsis How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read by : Pierre Bayard
Download or read book How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read written by Pierre Bayard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-08-10 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this delightfully witty, provocative book, literature professor and psychoanalyst Pierre Bayard argues that not having read a book need not be an impediment to having an interesting conversation about it. (In fact, he says, in certain situations reading the book is the worst thing you could do.) Using examples from such writers as Graham Greene, Oscar Wilde, Montaigne, and Umberto Eco, he describes the varieties of "non-reading"-from books that you've never heard of to books that you've read and forgotten-and offers advice on how to turn a sticky social situation into an occasion for creative brilliance. Practical, funny, and thought-provoking, How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read-which became a favorite of readers everywhere in the hardcover edition-is in the end a love letter to books, offering a whole new perspective on how we read and absorb them.

Book excerpt: Until the coming of the People of Asa, the world of Man went its own, often quarrelsome, way along the road of human advancement. There were many pitfalls on the road, conflict and misery often going hand-in-hand; but there was happiness as well. It was, for us and millions more, a happiness interrupted by the terrible advent of the worst scourge ever visited on Man - an alien invasion of the Earth's surface by beings of diabolical power. Rising from the deeps, wielding weapons hitherto beyond mortal conception, the Asans wrought havoc on a fearful scale. Picked out from our fellow men, we witnessed scenes of appalling chaos, experiencing as well a measure of the seeming magic of which these beings were capable. Only when all seemed lost did the fortunes of mankind change, and that in a manner we none of us dared to hope...

Book excerpt: From the moment Ovard woke him early in the morning, Jair knew that the time had come at last for them to run. Things were getting darker, most noticeably the sky itself. The time had come, and the prophecies foretold in Ovard's books were coming to pass..... Brace knew nothing about any prophecies, and he hardly paid attention to the sky. He was, after all, usually out at night, when no one would notice him sneaking around. But the years he'd spent as a thief had made him careless. He'd been seen - caught in the act - and now he had to make a run for it. His plan was simple. Get out, and get out now! Little did Brace suspect that there was another plan at work, one that would involve him, in one of the greatest endeavors in the whole history of Dunya. The question he would need to ask himself now was, did he believe in any of it? Or did he even care?

For most of her life, Alex Chen was alone and adrift in the foster care system. She struggled with her ‘curse’ – the ability to hear, manipulate, and absorb the emotions of other people. When she graduated out of foster care, she reconnected with her brother Gabe in the town of Haven Springs, Colorado. Alex arrived in Haven Springs hoping to reunite with her brother but found more than just family. When Gabe died in a mining accident, Alex partnered with Gabe’s friends and used her powers to find justice. As the truth unraveled, Alex grew close to – and began dating – Steph Gingrich. Steph was a former resident of Arcadia Bay, and a student of Blackwell Academy. Though in this lifetime, Rachel Amber and Chloe Price left Oregon for the sunny California coast, and Max Caulfield never returned. Steph left Arcadia Bay for Seattle, where she bounced around the punk scene as a drummer. It was whilst on tour with her band, Drugstore Makeup, that Steph first discovered Haven Springs, and the rest is history. Once the pair uncovered the truth behind the Typhon mining company, Alex and Steph left Haven Springs to start their own band, performing in venues across the states. It was on the road they met troubled teenager, Lily. Discovering Lily had run away from home, Alex and Steph decided to help the teenager unravel the anguish of her powers – the ability to take others’ memories – until the only past left to confront was her own…
