![]() ![]() Ward was always thinking that best way to keep staying alive was to act like an village idiot - because his father would kill him otherwise. In a world where there is one king who rules the five kingdoms and where all of the dragons had disappeared, the story is set into kingdom of Shavig - once home to Dragons. Patricia Briggs sure is brutal woman :D (good job). The story was quite interesting and to me it was even darker than The Blade Itself or Wizard's First Rule combined. I am at loss for words at how epic this book is. ![]() the image/cover is Danish, but it's awesome ♥ I loved the story, i loved the setting and i loved everything about it. Especially the characters, they were brilliant, fantastic and believable. ![]() I loved the writing even though it was switching from first person to third person, but i loved everything about it. ![]()

Besides the glowing red eyes, there’s no mistaking the hellhound for a lost pooch or a coyote on the prowl. The reek of sulfur was what had given away the hellhound circling my neighbor’s begonias long before I spot the glowing red headlights where eyeballs should be. Luck is on my side, sort of, as I am downwind of the monster, not the other way around. After pressing the bud in my right ear, the music ceases. I stop dead in my tracks, my heart thudding faster than the beat in my earbuds. No one expects to run into a hellhound on their pre-dawn run in the Seattle suburbs, not even me, and I’ve had a long history with the stinky mutts and their master.

Monk does this expertly– no small accomplishment, because for Wittgenstein all three of these aspects are so complex. This is the challenge of any biography, I suppose: to balance the cultural and historical background of a person’s age with the personal and emotional foreground of the individual’s own psyche and link this to an understanding of how a person creates or does whatever it is that makes her or him worthy of having a biography written. ![]() ![]() Monk paints a vivid portrait of Wittgenstein as an individual and as a philosopher. Monk’s authoritative biography seemed the place to begin. It was my recent re-reading of Logicomix that spurred me to learn more about Wittgenstein himself. Wittgenstein also shows up as a peripheral character in Logicomix, a wonderful graphic novel on the intersection between mathematics and philosophy in the first half of the twentieth century, which I reviewed here. I’ve never read his first and most well-known work, the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, but I know something of its influence through a course on the Vienna Circle, the inter-war group of European philosophers who left their indelible mark on modern theorizing regarding science and language. Ludwig Wittgenstein is widely regarded to be the most influential philosopher of the twentieth century. Ludwig Wittgenstein: The Duty of Genius by Ray Monk ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Revolutions In Understanding Mind And Brain The author recounts the experience of war veterans, and why former soldiers “shut down” in response to PTSD. This is my biggest takeaway from the book.Ī big insight for me was realizing why I like independence and empiricism, because societal trauma from dysfunctional and sclerotic institutions reflect my dad being stubborn and not open to new opinions when I was growing up. The author writes about how he is heartened by how so many people can overcome their traumas and live happy productive lives. For me, it is not actually about trauma, but about how to live a life of joy, in the most unique perspective I’ve seen. You may shy away from this book at first because of the scary word “trauma” on the cover. ![]() ![]() ![]() Fast-paced, evocative, and brutal, The Cold Cold Ground is a brilliant depiction of Belfast at the height of the Troubles-and of a cop treading a thin, thin line. Detective Sergeant Sean Duffy, who has just moved to the area and taken up a new post at Carrickfergus CID, is given the case, with two colleagues to help. A man is found dead in his car : he has been shot and his hand cut off. Add to this the fact that, as a Catholic policeman, it doesn't matter which side he's on, because nobody trusts him, and Sergeant Duffy really is in a no-win situation. The Cold Cold Ground is a police procedural set in the chaos of 1981 Belfast, Northern Ireland. It's no easy job-especially when it turns out that one of the victims was involved in the IRA but was last seen discussing business with someone from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force. ![]() The Cold Cold Ground is set in Northern Ireland in the Belfast area in 1981 during the Troubles. McKinty is a very good writer and he baits the reader very well. It was a very good read IMHO, and I quickly devoured the book. Detective Sergeant Duffy is the man tasked with trying to get to the bottom of it all. The Cold Cold Ground is Adrian McKinty’s first book in the Sean Duffy series. Prometheus/Seventh Street, 15.95 trade paper (340p) ISBN. Hunger strikes, riots, power cuts, a homophobic serial killer with a penchant for opera, and a young woman's suicide that may yet turn out to be murder: on the surface, the events are unconnected, but then things-and people-aren't always what they seem.
