![]() ![]() I ran my finger down the harsh line of his jaw, the scar smooth next to the unmarred skin. ![]() But I cut class, didn’t pay attention for shit, and I’m pretty sure they just graduated me so I’d quit terrorizing the students and flirting with the younger teachers.” The thought sent a thrill racing to my achy spots. He kissed my forehead, as if he couldn’t go for too long without pressing his lips to some part of me. “You act like you never even went to high school.” “Is this the book smarts thing? That’s what this is, isn’t it?”Ī smile pulled at my lips. “I’ll swear on whatever you’d like that you gave me something sweeter than I ever thought possible.” Not about this.” He gripped my upper arms and pulled me on top of him so we were face to face. ![]() “Really? You’re not just saying that?” I tried not to think of his past, of the others. “It was…” I hated to feed his ego, but I didn’t want to lie, especially not after what we’d just shared. After we’d cleaned up, he pulled me to his chest and kissed the top of my head. “You got jealous of your pool self.” He rose and walked to the bathroom, his hard ass a treat to look at as he went. ![]() “You can’t get jealous of your own imaginary self.” “I’ve had a lot of practice talking to imaginary Nate.” He sat back, but couldn’t pull his gaze away from the mess we’d made. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While Paul’s parents are more understanding about his free spirit, despite some attempts by his mother to reign it in, Felicia’s parents are described as much stricter and unbending in their positions. Little do they know that Paul and his family, having recently moved from Chicago, are Felicia’s next-door neighbors. This was a refreshing change of pace since situations like this one more often occur based on physical attraction. They both go for the same comic, showing that they clearly have common interests and aren’t just seeing each other based on looks. Their instant connection at a tag sale (garage sale, if not familiar with this term) is believable, unlike some of the insta-relationships that occur in other books. Tomas follows new next-door neighbors, and seeming soulmates, Paul and Felicia. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Larry leaves to cherish his memory his wife of 20 years Veronica L. Nunn Jr., brother-in-law Joseph Griffin and son-in-law Garry Stewart Sr. Larry was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Willie C. Larry enjoyed spending time with family, good food, telling jokes and a good western. In 1986 Larry made the career move to public servant and proudly served 18 years as Chief of Police for the City of Crawfordville. Larry always had a passion for the dairy business he started milking at the age of twelve, he later drove for Pet Milk and he then fulfilled his dream of starting his own dairy business. ![]() Mark Yearwood, whom he had much respect for.

Lawrence Seaway, a system of locks, canals, and channels leading to the Atlantic Ocean, which allows “noxious species” from foreign ports to enter the lakes through ballast water dumped by freighters, has been a central player. Combining scientific details, the stories of researchers investigating ecological crises, and interviews with people who live and work along the lakes, the author crafts an absorbing narrative of science and human folly. ![]() The main culprits have been “over-fishing, over-polluting, and over-prioritizing navigation,” writes Egan, winner of the J. An alarming account of the “slow-motion catastrophe” facing the world’s largest freshwater system.īased on 13 years of reporting for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, this exhaustively detailed examination of the Great Lakes reveals the extent to which this 94,000-square-mile natural resource has been exploited for two centuries. ![]() ![]() That puzzlement is what Australian theoretical physicist Paul Davies explores in a wonderfully mind-bending passage from his altogether terrific 1995 book About Time: Einstein’s Unfinished Revolution ( public library), which embodies my three criteria for what makes a great science book. As our lives tick on, gradually robbing the future of potential and robbing the past of relevance, we trudge along the arrow of time dragging with us this elusive curiosity we call a self - an ever-shifting packet of personal identity, mystifying in how it links us to our childhood selves and misleading in how it maps out our future selves. ![]() “If our heart were large enough to love life in all its detail,” French philosopher Gaston Bachelard wrote in his 1932 meditation on our paradoxical experience of time, “we would see that every instant is at once a giver and a plunderer.” Nowhere is this duality of time more disorienting than in the constant mental time travel we perform between what has been and what will be in order to anchor ourselves to what is. ![]() ![]() To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. "I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man. The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean." He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?" The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.Īs he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. ![]() He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. The Star Thrower by Loren Eiseley (1907 - 1977) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Peppered with seemingly irrelevant (albeit amusing) yarns, this work is a delight to read, whether or not a trip to the continent is planned. He glorifies the country, alternating between awe, reverence and fear, and he expresses these sentiments with frankness and candor, via truly funny prose and a conversational pace that is at once unhurried and captivating. ![]() Pitfalls aside, Bryson revels in the beauty of this country, home to ravishing beaches and countless unique species (""80% of all that lives in Australia, plant and animal, lives nowhere else""). His unrelenting insistence that Australia is the most dangerous place on earth (""If you are not stung or pronged to death in some unexpected manner, you may be fatally chomped by sharks or crocodiles, or carried helplessly out to sea by irresistible currents, or left to stagger to an unhappy death in the baking outback"") spins off dozens of tales involving jellyfish, spiders and the world's 10 most poisonous snakes. Arranged loosely by region, the book bounces between Canberra and Melbourne, the Outback and the Gold Coast, showing Bryson alone and with partners in tow. The author of A Walk in the Woods draws readers in campfire-style, relating wacky anecdotes and random facts gathered on multiple trips down under, all the while lightening the statistics with infusions of whimsical humor. Still, Bryson's lively take is a welcome recess from packaged, staid guides. With the Olympics approaching, books on Australia abound. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Fall of the House of Usher: Pavane LyricsĪ Dream Within A Dream - 1987 Remix Lyrics ![]() The Fall Of The House Of Usher: Arrival - 1987 Remix Lyrics Preview the embedded widget The Alan Parsons Project - Tales Of Mystery And Imagination - Edgar Allan Poe Album Lyrics Note: When you embed the widget in your site, it will match your site's styles (CSS).

There is something about his accident and this new home that have sparked an artistic talent Edgar didn’t know he had. Edgar finds a new will to heal, physically with beach walks and mentally by starting to draw. This small island lies in the Gulf of Mexico, where the stunning sunsets make the strangely underdeveloped island irresistibly beautiful.

She can no longer deal with Edgar’s struggles and anger. ![]() In addition to physical pain, Edgar’s heart takes a beating as he watches his wife, the woman he loves and raised two daughters with, leave him.
