My religion thinks that good transcends God, and that God is bound by good and evil. He cannot do evil, or he would cease to be God.
I took it as us not even gracing Twilight with the honors of being considered a book.
Umm, there's a word for that. It's called "historical fiction." Fiction based in a time, about a time, with real events woven in with fictional people.
I think one of the most life changing things I've read recently was I read "Sofia Petrovna" by Lydia Chukovskaya and then right after finishing it, I read "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" by...
While Solzhenitsyn is fiction, considering his background in the area and how travel-log the plots are (I mean, it's called "One Day in the Life"), I think it's a pretty good reference on how it...
I know I'm going to be drawn and quartered for this, but Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. I hated it when I read it and want it to be cut into very small pieces, and I think the fact that everyone...
Thanks. I didn't put that one on the list. Someone else from the committee did, and I didn't bother to check them. But you are correct.
The first I read was Eugene Onegin by Pushkin. And it got me hooked on Russian Lit. I think that Fathers and Children by Turgenev is a good start too. But if you start with Eugene Onegin, you have...
It is one of my favorite novels ever. I read the Michael Katz version, which I thought was quite good.
I read the Pevear and Volohkonsky version and it was very accessible, and my sister-in-law who's Russian says it's the most faithful to the original Russian.
The word "Kafkaesque" literally means just plain doesn't make sense and or doesn't sit right with someone.
I've studied Irish Gaelic, and here's my take on it that I wrote once.
Oh, I thought The Dead was the only thing that brought closure to Dubliners. I can't imagine it back when it ended with Grace. "The Dead" makes it a full circle, it makes a tomorrow, it has...
If you read it carefully, you actually don't know that she does.
It never says a name. It is possible that she went with her lover. Because, it could be that the man she's looking at,...
My favorites:
Eveline, Grace, The Dead, A Mother
But I love them all!
I don't think they were related. I just don't. Carton's English, Darnay's French. Besides, I think that Carton felt inferior because, even though I love him to death, the guy's clinically...
It depends on which dogma of Christianity. In my branch of Christianity (which is a VERY...unique form of Christianity) we believe that John did not die, but was changed from mortal to kind of...
Thanks for your help. And if it's any consolation, I speak French as well, so I'll look over the translations and see if we can work together to help the poetry restoration.
Tale of Two Cities is one of my favorites written by any author period. So, I'd have to go with Tale of Two Cities, but I love most all Dickens. I think Great Expectations was the only one I don't...
I'm working on a project to get teenage girls to read quality literature. As such, I've been asked to compile a list of the most romantic lines in literature. So far, here's what I have:
“You...
I would agree that both Solzhenitsyn and Dostoevsky would have NEVER been able to write what they did had it not been for their imprisonments (and for Dostoevsky, his mock execution). Just has...
By that logic how does any boy remain a virgin until marriage? It's rationalization. I do find it DISTURBING that Constance just is completely unfaithful.
Yes, I'm trying to remember that the editor has nothing against me. She doesn't even know me except by my writing. So, to the next editor. But that doesn't stop disappointment. I luckily had read a...
It is about a bully girl in a the 1800s. I thought it fit their magazine description, but she said that they were looking for springy/summery stories right now, and there's nothing seasonal about...
