    Chris Bohjalian, THE AMATEUR

    Bestselling author Chris Bohjalian has written 26 books, including mega-bestsellers Oprah's Book Club pick Midwives and The Flight Attendant, adapted into an Emmy-winning TV series — and yet he still worries that his next book won't be any good. Isn't it funny that even the greats of the field still worry?! But not to fear: Chris is no amateur and his latest book is thought-provoking, different, gripping, and memorable. When a bright young woman, about to head to Yale, swings a golf club at the range of her club, her life changes in an instant. The ball blasts through a hole in the netting and instantly kills a caddy, a classmate of hers. What follows is an examination of a neighborhood percolating with infidelity, blame, and gossip, a look at how easy it is to end up with the wrong people, and an attempt to right a life thrown off track. ** Want more?

Nicholas is sitting by himself by the fireplace. Higgins is unshaven and wearing a hole ridden jacket. Mr. Hale says that each family is going through many sorrows at that time. Higgins agrees and says that they can always find him at home, as he is out of work. Mr Hale says that they owe his daughter money for helping them around the house, which Higgins refuses, saying that if Mr. Hale pays Mary, then he would have to pay Margaret for her help with Bessy. Higgins has apparently not asked for work. Apparently, the Masters are refusing to hire workers who are associated with the Union, forcing them to sign contracts that force them not to give tithes to the union. Higgins feels so strongly for the Union that he refuses to work for anywhere that would force him to sign such a contract. Margaret dares to ask, in her non-confrontational way, if he remembers Boucher saying that the Union is a tyrant. Higgins says that he understands that the Union can be cruel, but that it is needed for the betterment of the whole. Higgins then goes to say that the Strike was over, the moment the Boucher started a riot. Margaret asks if it would not have been better to not have people like Boucher in the Union. Mr. Hale tries to stop her daughter from pressing him further, but Higgins tells him that it is okay, he likes Margaret. Apparently after the Riot, Boucher went into hiding and didn't show himself for a few days, then he tried to ask for work at one of the factories, but he was refused everywhere he went. Outside, the sound of marching feet can be heard moving towards the house, they are carrying a heavy burden. When they arrive at Higgins' house, it is revealed to be Boucher, drowned in the river. They have come to Higgins to announce the death to Mrs. Boucher. Higgins says that he cannot go, he didn't like the man and doesn't know his wife well enough. Margaret suggests her father go but then decides to go herself. Mrs. Boucher is sitting in a chair, and the house looks very dirty. Margaret asks the woman how she is, and the women replies that she is upset with her husband for having left her alone with the children. He has been gone for four days and has sent no word to her. Margaret goes to the woman and announces Bouchers death without any words. Mrs. Boucher asks if Margaret is certain, going to the extent of claiming that people have been brought round after having drowned. Margaret holds the woman, and slowly the children start to understand too. A sound at the door is heard and Margaret asks one of the children to open it. It is her father and a woman. The woman takes over for Margaret in caring for Mrs. Boucher, and Margaret sets to getting rid of the bystanders. The children are taken away by some of the voyeurs and are properly fed. Then, once alone, they try to tell Mrs. Boucher that her husband didn't die by accident. She understands. Following this, Mr. Hale and Margaret leave, and go to check on Higgins, he doesn't let them in, only saying that he wishes to be alone on a day like this.SEO stuff I don't want to do. Elizabeth Gaskell's classic, "North and South" sees Margaret Hale's live uprooted as her family moves to the north of England. Initially disgusted by the ugliness of the industrial town of Milton, Margaret develops a strong sense of social justice after seeing the poverty and suffering of local mill workers.

Ryan, Jose, and David analyzed the story's themes, characters, and connections to other Barker works, especially its similarities to Hellraiser. They discussed the narrative of a group of young thugs who steal a magical knotted cord from a transient, leading to the release of three creatures representing evolutionary stages. The trio explored the story's themes of evolution, hidden knowledge, and the transformative power of magic. They also touched on potential adaptations, the evolution of special effects, and the podcast's Patreon supporters. The episode concluded with a preview of upcoming content, including a commentary on Angel Heart and a future discussion on Pinhead sketches by Clive Barker. Book Discussion on Development Stages Jose and Ryan discussed a book they were reading, with Jose mentioning insights about human fetal development stages. Ryan revealed he had studied medieval philosophy rather than evolutionary topics in school, which explained his lack of knowledge about the developmental stages Jose referenced. The conversation ended abruptly as Jose mentioned something from a previous episode. Religious Philosophy and Media Discussion Jose and Ryan discussed the Manichaeans, a religious philosophy that viewed the devil as an equal and opposite force to God. They also talked about beer from a local brewery and the challenges of being on camera for non-native English speakers. The conversation then shifted to the topic of dubbing versus subtitles in foreign films, particularly in Japanese movies, and the role of Laserdiscs in providing region-free and undubbed content. Book Club of Blood Episode The group discussed various topics including vintage movie formats, gaming collectibles, and comic book adaptations before transitioning into a Book Club of Blood episode. Jose shared his recent viewing of "The Return" and "Jason and the Argonauts," while Ryan and wnbla discussed special effects in classic films. The conversation ended with Ryan confirming this was another Book Club of Blood episode focused on a specific volume. Clive Barker's "Inhuman Condition" Analysis The group discussed Clive Barker's "Inhuman Condition" from Volume 4 of the Books of Blood, comparing it to the more famous Hellraiser story. They analyzed the characters and plot, particularly focusing on how the knots found their owner Carney and the creatures released from them. The discussion covered themes of hidden power in seemingly ordinary people and parallel worlds accessible through objects like the knots. The conversation also touched on how Barker often writes about magicians who appear ordinary but possess hidden abilities. Evolution Theme Plot Review Jose discussed the evolution theme in the story, involving reptilian, simian, and human-like creatures. The group reviewed plot details about Carney finding a knot in Red's hand and Brendan's call to the wrecking yard. They described the final confrontation scene where Pope captures Brendan using a knot, and Carney must work to free him while hiding from Pope's attack. Pope Carney Story Adaptation Discussion The group discussed a story involving Pope, Carney, and a magical knot that contains a creature representing Pope's brother. They explored how the story could be adapted into a movie or TV show, noting it would need additional content beyond the original narrative. The discussion revealed key plot points including how Pope's brother was transformed through evolutionary stages captured in knots, and how Carney discovers Pope's spell book at the end. The conversation also touched on how Pope represents the Church's role in hiding knowledge about evolution. Anatomical Challenges and Story Development The group discussed the historical challenges anatomists faced working in secret due to religious opposition, with Jose explaining how anatomical knowledge was considered sinful. Ryan shared a personal experience of feeling uncomfortable during a college health class when learning about the circulatory system, which led to a broader discussion about the human body being "a bag of bones" and "a flesh machine." The conversation then shifted to discussing potential storylines for a character named Carney, including possibilities of him becoming a powerful magician or CEO, and ended with a suggestion about creating an animated series based on Clive Barker's Books of Blood anthology.

The book tells the story of the race toward artificial general intelligence through two central figures: Sam Altman, associated with OpenAI, and Demis Hassabis, founder of DeepMind. But beyond the story of founders, models, and technical breakthroughs, Supremacy raises a deeper question: who really controls the future of AI? In this episode, we explore the original promise of AI as a technology meant to serve humanity, the growing dependence on Google and Microsoft, the central role of computing power, the tension between ethics and competition, and the risk that AI could deepen new divides in the workplace. An episode for anyone who wants to understand why AI is not just a technology to adopt, but an infrastructure of power we need to question.Hosted on Ausha.

    Early in Douglas Stuart's new novel, ā€œJohn of John,ā€ the Booker Prize-winning author describes a peculiar irony: ā€œWhat skinned him was that the closer he got to home, the more lost he felt.ā€ It's a passing line, but it captures the tension at the heart of this magnificent book: Here is a story of two men, each profoundly isolated, trying to figure out how to exist in a small, claustrophobic world. The traveler heading home and dreading it is Cal, a young gay man who has recently graduated from college in Edinburgh and has been floundering ever since. At the start of the novel, he is summoned back to the small village where he grew up to care for his sick grandmother. He obliges, but he's not happy about the move — a rakish dreamer, Cal doesn't fit into the provincial life of his village. His chief antagonist is his father, John. Traditional, religious and stoic, John hates Cal's flamboyance and inertia, and he's determined to mold Cal into an upstanding citizen of this tiny community. But John is hiding secrets of his own that, if they were to get out, could upend his life. Bouncing between John's and Cal's stories, ā€œJohn of Johnā€ asks: What does it mean to fit in, what's the risk of standing out, and what's the price of both? On this episode of the Book Review Book Club, the host MJ Franklin discusses the book with his colleagues Leah Greenblatt and Scott Heller.

    It's the end of an era...but not CockTales.Medinah returns to CockTales one final time to share what she's been up to, what she's learned during this season of transition, and why she made the difficult decision to step away from the show after nearly 500 episodes.Kiki and Medinah reflect on growing up publicly, doing things scared, navigating new relationships, unlearning old patterns, and accepting when something meaningful no longer aligns with the direction your life is taking. They also discuss the pressure to give people every detail, why closure does not always come with a dramatic explanation, and how walking away does not have to erase the love, memories, and work that came before it.There are tears, laughter, old CockTales memories, a few final confessions, and an honest goodbye to the chapter they created together.Thank you to everyone who listened, supported, laughed, traveled, attended live shows, and grew alongside CockTales over the years.

    RHLSTP Book Club 190 - The Umbrella Man and Other Stories - Another remote Book Club where Rich talks to author Martin Fitzgerald about his book about the JFK assassination, which looks at everything from a very different perspective by examining the witnesses and not worrying about whodunnit. Was the Umbrella Man really signalling to all the assassins that it was time to shoot (and wouldn't that be a bit of a distraction rather than a help)? What was it that attracted these people to the relatively quiet part of the route in Dealey Plaza rather than the ticker tape of Main Street? Is it possible to understand the amateurish nature of the detective work from a 21st Century perspective? Why did some witnesses hog the limelight whilst others disappeared immediately and did some people insert themselves into the story who weren't there? How did the racism endemic in Dallas at the time affect the responses of the African- American witnesses? What effect did the assassination have on Dallas as a whole? And how easy is it to be a reliable witness or a truly impartial judge of what happened? It's a terrific book and a really interesting approach to the event and I thoroughly recommend it.Buy the book here - https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-umbrella-man-and-other-stories-what-we-talk-about-when-we-talk-about-the-jfk-assassination-martin-fitzgerald/80bddf3b35dec416SUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPEAudio mix by Ben Evans (NTO)Thanks to Chris Evans (NTO) Hosted on Acast.

    Sophie Chen Keller joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about her latest novel, LITTLE WONDER, which was published by Jenna Bush Hager's imprint, Thousand Voices. It is an Oprah's Book Club pick and a Bookreporter Bets On selection. Song, a migrant worker, and her 11-year-old piano prodigy son, River, are separated in a massive crowd at a Beijing train station on the busiest travel day of the year. The story follows both characters over the years as they search for each other while building separate lives. Sophie describes LITTLE WONDER as being about motherhood, music, and the love between a mother and a child. She shares that she was born in rural northeastern China, was raised in the US, lived in Beijing, and is now residing in Germany. Her own experiences as a mother and a pianist deeply informed the novel. Carol and Sophie's conversation also touches on themes of longing, stage fright, social inequality in China, and the COVID-19 pandemic as portrayed in the book. And yes, Sophie explains what she was doing when she got the call from Oprah. The interview that Oprah taped with Sophie was her first real exposure to reader reactions. She found the audience's questions to be surprising and insightful as they made connections she had not anticipated.

    CannCon and Ashe in America crack open Chapter 10 of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, and this time the Fed is fully in the crosshairs. This week is all about the Mandrake Mechanism, named after a comic strip magician who could conjure things out of thin air, which turns out to be an uncomfortably accurate description of how the Federal Reserve actually creates money. The hosts break down how modern currency is no longer backed by gold or silver at all, how debt itself is the spark that brings money into existence, and how paying off that debt makes it vanish just as fast. Expect a deep look at reserve ratios, checkbook money, and the sleight of hand that keeps the whole system running, paired with the hosts' usual banter, tangents, and disbelief that this is somehow how it all works.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Success from Resilience Vinnie argues that people who achieve big things keep going through pain, setbacks, and repeated failure. (4:00) He uses examples like Elon Musk, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, and Lou Gehrig to illustrate that success usually follows repeated misses. Success is measured by failure tolerance, or, as Vinnie likes to call it, FQ (Failure Quotient). Resilience is important in life, and the only way to build it is through challenges. Accountability and consistency matter more than motivation alone, especially with weight loss and addiction. He says food addiction is real and that tools like GLP-1s are not a cure-all. Vinnie has a 45th high school reunion coming up. (33:00) He recounts the previous reunion he went to several years ago. The reunion story becomes a reflection on time, aging, lost classmates, and the shock of seeing how much people change. He became motivated to train harder and stay in shape for longevity and health. Is social media fitness advice targeted at women, myth or truth? (41:00) They review four specific claims regarding eating, fasting, and working out. Vinnie's advice: eat real food, train, hydrate, and don't get distracted by fitness influencer contradictions. Supply, cost, and food politics often make healthy eating harder due to economics and policy.

We go deep into the foundations of reading instruction, from learning units in the strategic science of teaching planning arenas to classroom management and books as conditioned reinforcers in the "helping kids actually enjoy the process of books" arenas. And that's before decoding, teaching metaphors, and scaling instruction to the classroom and into upper education.

While we all agreed the writing was beautiful and poetic, the story itself fell flat.
