![]() ![]() ![]() In Germany, he is considered the equal of Rilke and Trakl, the heir of Hölderlin’s metaphysical lyricism elsewhere his work is held in similar esteem, prompting statements such as George Steiner’s recent remark that Celan is “almost certainly the major European poet of the period after 1945.” At the same time, Celan is an exceedingly difficult poet, both dense and obscure he demands so much of a reader, and in his later work his utterances are so gnomic, that it is nearly impossible to take him in at first reading. Paul Celan was a poet of exile, an outsider even to the language of his own poems, and if his life was exemplary in its pain, a paradigm of the destruction and dislocation of mid-century Europe, his poetry is defiantly idiosyncratic.

![]() ![]() The lead scientist at the heart of the story is a trans woman, and two other main characters are in a sapphic relationship. There's also a lot of social commentary in this book, specifically surrounding discrimination and bigotry. One reason for the disconnect I felt with this book might be the abundance of characters and different worlds here I didn't really feel like I had enough time with any of them. His books discuss some truly fascinating concepts, his world-building is masterful, and his characters tend to feel very real and human (whatever species they may be). ![]() Tchaikovsky has studied both psychology and zoology at university, and this is something that shines through basically everything he writes. ![]() It all wraps up in a neat little package, though, but it takes a little to get there. The story revolves around parallel universes (which alongside time travel is one of my least favorite sci-fi tropes) and at points the plot edges on to get a little convoluted. This one isn't one of my favorites, though, while I do think this explores some really interesting topics, too. Tchaikovsky is my favorite author, so I don't know how objective I can truly be about his books at this point. ![]() 6/26/2023 0 Comments Attached amir![]() ![]() Put partner on a pedestal, underestimate personal qualities and overestimate his/hers.Believes must work hard to keep the partner interested.Very sensitive to small fluctuations in your partner’s moods and actions.Fears that small acts will ruin the relationships. ![]() Lets the partner set the tone of the relationship.Excessive thinking about the partner daily.Not expressing what’s bothering him/her, expect you to guess.Expresses insecurities, worries about rejection.Wants a lot of closeness, you fear you want more than your partner does.AnxiousĪnxious people crave intimacy, are often preoccupied with their relationships, and tend to worry about their partner’s ability to love them back. This is sometimes referred to in attachment literature as the “dependency paradox”: The more effectively dependent people are on one another, the more independent and daring they become. When their emotional needs are met, and the earlier the better, they usually turn their attention outward. Attachment principles teach us that most people are only as needy as their unmet needs. You need someone to meet your needs, you are not too needy. → Attachment theory teaches that controlling your own emotional needs and soothe yourself in the face of stress is simply wrong. → Among adults, the prevailing notion is still that too much dependence in a relationship is a bad thing. ![]() 6/26/2023 0 Comments Working backwards book![]() ![]() ![]() With twenty-seven years of Amazon experience between them, much of it in the early aughts-a period of unmatched innovation that brought products and services including Kindle, Amazon Prime, Amazon Studios, and Amazon Web Services to life-Bryar and Carr offer unprecedented access to the Amazon way as it was refined, articulated, and proven to be repeatable, scalable, and adaptable.

This whole work, in my view, has one important lesson to teach. The whole immense panorama is summarized in his Hopkins lectures, Afterthoughts on Material Civilization and Capitalism (1977). The levels are called material life, the market economy, and capitalism each occupies one of the three volumes of Braudel's massive and much-acclaimed trilogy, Civilization and Capitalism. In Fernand Braudel's conception, economic history has existed at three levels, and "advanced" countries-the West, Japan, America-have encapsulated all three in their histories.

It is completely over the top and very,very funny. Is it pure fun or is there a moral within all that dark irony?Īt first I thought it would be most appreciated by younger adults, Daily Show fans, who would remember well the horrors of middle school and get a kick out of how Oliver manages to pass by and over them. I thought most of it was hilarious, inventive, and fun to read, but I was confused by the ending and what young readers are suppose to come away with. ![]() Not sure quite how to rate this one so I won't. ![]() 6/24/2023 0 Comments Second book of outlander![]() There was a lot of stuff about medical treatments during that time, and a lot of entertaining the aristocracy. Technically, this section should have been really interesting (I mean Jacobite intrigues in Louis XV’s court? Well duh!). I can tell by Gabaldon’s writing that these are important characters, but they are extremely boring – especially their romance, it’s just not interesting enough to carry forward the first 100 odd pages.Īnd then comes another boring part, Claire’s flashback into the past starts with her and Jaime in Paris trying to prevent Bonnie Prince Charlie from carrying out his plans for retaking England. ![]() It starts off very abruptly introducing new characters – Claire’s daughter Brianna and a historian Roger Wakefield. But apart from that, the writing is just weak. The first half was a little disorienting (especially because there was a long gap between Outlander and this book). ![]() I”ll be honest, I had a good bit of trouble with this book. ![]() |
