![]() ![]() ![]() The 8th paperback volume just came out this month, which is what prompted my Saga binge this week - I re-read #5, then continued straight through 6, 7, and 8. Saga is available as standard comic editions, but I prefer to wait and read the trade-paperback editions. (Unless they’re very cool coworkers, but you might be at risk of violating some company policies… ) Take note that Saga is definitely NSFW - between gory violence and explicit illustrations of sex acts and genitalia, this isn’t something you want your coworkers reading over your shoulders. ![]() The storyline is intense and always surprising, with plenty of danger and violence, but also some truly funny dialogue and situations. The artwork is astounding, with a mind-blowing array of gorgeous, strange, and often disgusting creatures and people and planets. The world of Saga is utterly wonderful, with bizarre beings such as Lying Cat, a race of robots with TV screens for heads, an adorable little seal-like creature who’s dangerous AF, and so much more. Their worlds have been at war for generations, and when they desert their respective armies and begin life on the run together, they’re hunted and despised by both sides. What can I say about the glories of the Saga series? In a nutshell, this comic series tells the story of two star-crossed lovers, Alana and Marko. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() At home, Cheryl is worried that Razonball is not communicating with them and decides to do something about it.

Meet the Walters, a human family whose robot, Razorball, ominously spends his free time in the garage working on machines which they’re pretty sure are designed to kill them in this sci-fi satire from Mark Russell (The Flintstones, Second Coming) and Mike Deodato Jr. Every human family is assigned a robot upon whom they are completely reliant. ![]() An uneasy co-existence develops between the newly intelligent robots and the ten billion humans living on Earth.

Such dedication creates a construct that there is only a finite window of opportunity for your child or mentee to get a head start on the path to success. Epstein argues that from the days of Tiger Woods being able to use a golf club before he could speak and having his future mapped-out for him by his father, the value of versatility has been overlooked.Ĭonsider the near-fanatical commitment of parents like Earl Woods or Lazlo Polgar (who was determined that at least one of his three daughters would become World Chess Champion and started training them at three years old). ![]() The notion of a person having the experience and versatility to tackle many things used to be considered a compliment. ![]() They’re also more creative, more agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can’t see. Generalists often find their path late, and they juggle many interests rather than focusing on one. ![]() ![]() He discovered that in most fields-especially those that are complex and unpredictable-generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. In Range, David Epstein examines the world’s most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters and scientists. ![]() ![]() ![]() I was seeking the help of the Universe and somehow, I wrote the 6 hour long exam that contained two papers with an hour break in between and I lost hope after seeing the questions. The day before the exam, I could not sleep even a bit and eventually, after twisting and turning, I decided to study. Every day, I would wake up, thank the Universe for gifting me another wonderful day, and visualize myself in the position I wanted to be in. I quit my job and my whole focus was on the examination. I had to write a qualifying examination to start practicing in the country where I live since my qualification is not recognized in this country. There are many more incidents but I had a recent experience that I believe happened because of my unwavering faith in the Universe and it is as below: This happened seconds after I asked the Universe for help. I was about to give back the groceries and go when a lady came out of nowhere and offered to pay it for me. One day I was at the grocery shop and my debit card was not working at the counter. Help comes out of nowhere when I need it. I am feeling more confident, relaxed, peaceful, and joyous. Ever since I started believing in the Universe, I should say that wonders are happening in my life. It has turned out to be the most loving relationship I have ever had. ![]() The most noticeable change was in my relationship with my partner. ![]() I have been following the book, The Secret to Love, Health, and Money since 2022, and I would like to say that the book has changed me in many ways. ![]() ![]() ![]() When we first encounter our narrator, who remains unnamed throughout, she’s encamped in a London flat, recently dismissed from her position as personal assistant to an Australian pop-star named Aimee. With her most recent novel, Swing Time, Smith continues her protean evolution by downplaying her characteristic humor and exploring the lives of her characters through a subjective first-person viewpoint, a technique she had not attempted until now. Forster’s Howards End, while NW (2012) refracted contemporary London through a gaze evoking Virginia Woolf - Smith’s vivacious, wide-roving, and often satirical perspective has consistently provided a stylistic through-line. Yet while her techniques and influences have indeed varied over time - On Beauty (2005), for example, paid homage to the domestic interplay of E.M. Ever since James Wood irritably classified Zadie Smith’s debut novel White Teeth (2000) as “hysterical realism,” quite a lot of ink has been spilled praising or deriding the adaptability of her subsequent fiction. ![]() ![]() Career Ĭassidy achieved success as a musical performer on Broadway. His father, an engineer at the Long Island Rail Road, was of Irish descent and his mother was of German ancestry. He was the father of teen idols David Cassidy and Shaun Cassidy.Ĭassidy was born in New York City, the son of Charlotte (née Koehler) and William Cassidy. He also received two Primetime Emmy Award nominations. ![]() He received multiple Tony Award nominations and a win, as well as a Grammy Award, for his work on the Broadway production of the musical She Loves Me. John Joseph Edward Cassidy (March 5, 1927 – December 12, 1976), was an American actor, singer and theater director known for his work in the theater, television and films. ![]() 4 including David, Shaun and Patrick Cassidy ![]() ![]() ![]() But Bastian and his warriors are in the middle of a deadly battle with the Razorback dragon-shifters, intent on killing every Nightfury clan member - and the humans they protect - the fate of their world and ours hangs in the balance. Myst loves her life in the human world, but Bastian has captured her heart in an instant of electric connection. Myst, the woman given into his care, is the most extraordinary he's ever met, and though he can't bear the thought of harming her, he is bound by duty. When the clan dictates he take a human mate to sire a son, he falters, aware that for a human to birth a dragon-shifter she must die. For him, honor and duty always come first. ![]() Bastian, leader of the Nightfury dragon clan, is sworn to protect humankind at all costs. A clandestine race of half-dragon, half-humans known as dragon-shifters lives among us. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the writings and speeches included here, Morrison takes on contested social issues: the foreigner, female empowerment, the press, money, "black matter(s)," and human rights. It is divided into three parts: the first is introduced by a powerful prayer for the dead of 9/11 the second by a searching meditation on Martin Luther King Jr., and the last by a heart-wrenching eulogy for James Baldwin. The Source of Self-Regard is brimming with all the elegance of mind and style, the literary prowess and moral compass that are Toni Morrison's inimitable hallmark. Arguably the most celebrated and revered writer of our time now gives us a new nonfiction collection-a rich gathering of her essays, speeches, and meditations on society, culture, and art, spanning four decades. ![]() |
