Sorcerers and adventurers battle over "magical" artifacts that are remnants of super-science, worshipping or killing ancient "gods" who are actually tyrannical extraterrestrials, while the dying sun glitters above them all, threatening to bring eternal night to a tired world.

Greer writes sentences of arresting lyricism and beauty. But laughter is only a part of the joy of reading this book. ![]() Arthur’s wanderings as he makes his way from disaster to disaster are hilariously, brilliantly harrowing. But, this time, instead of Less as narrator, this book is written from the perspective of Less’s current partner, Freddy.Īt the start of this novel, Freddy is secluded in Maine, attempting to write his own novel, while Less remains at their home in San Francisco, learning about the death of his former lover. Less is the funniest, smartest and most humane novel I’ve read since Tom Rachman’s 2010 debut, The Imperfectionists. ![]() LESS IS LOST picks up the story several years later, taking Less on a financially-motivated cross-country trip. LESS IS LOST is continues the story of Arthur Less, a fiftyish, marginally successful writer, full of insecurities and angst but also contemplating the nature of true love. (Not unlike the author himself.) And further proof as to why Andrew Sean Greer won a Pulitzer Prize for the prequel LESS (2017) in 2018. ![]() LESS IS LOST is an intelligent, perceptive, and lighthearted glimpse into the middle age years of a San Francisco based writer.

Lucashenko's great-grandmother Christina was taken from the Tweed at the age of eight to be a ''servant-slave'' in Queensland. The morning felt miraculous … It seemed to her as if the day - this morning, this sun upon these hills - called for a kind of reverence that she could barely express.'' White wisps lingered among the dark knotty pines beside it. Lucashenko writes: ''The bottom dam was hazy with mist. ''For people who practise Aboriginal lore, there is very little distinction between the land and self.'' It is a ''blueprint'' embedded in the psyche, written on the body. Someone knows she is there and someone is welcoming her, but not everything is understood and not everything is to be understood.'' This is about the mystery at the heart of things. ''It is hard not to take these things as signs sometimes. ''I have been that close to a wedge-tail, they are a spectacular bird,'' Lucashenko says. ![]() Martin lings books5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() 3- The Life and Work of Muhammad by Yahiya EmerickĪ present day Muslim convert in the U.S., Yahiya Emerick is an excellent writer. Those that may be more likely to be skeptical and consider discussion of miracles to be embellishment will appreciate and be moved by this telling. This is a particularly good choice for non-Muslims. “Truth does not depend upon force for its maintenance”. Maulana Muhammad Ali is also an interesting writer from whom you will find interesting comments within this book. Though I was surprised-being used to reading accounts that include such as miracles of the Prophet Muhammad. It is interesting to note that while the author attempts to give an accurate portrayal, you will not find much mention of supposedly miraculous accounts beyond the miracle of the Quran itself. ![]() Singularity sleator novel5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() That alone underscores that every time a state enacts sales tax fairness legislation, we have accomplished a great deal. ![]() Teicher wrote that a "compelling indication of the importance" of legislative wins in Arkansas, Connecticut, and California "is the extensive resources that opponents of e-fairness employ to fight the passage of affiliate nexus legislation.
