From Emily to Oppenheimer, we're seeing a trend in biopics lately, where it's less about events or products or objects, but more so about the person behind the craft or science.

关注【璐璐的英文小酒馆】获取全文稿哦~Another thing that is quite important about reading literature is to really train your critical thinking skills. Because in these stories, nothing is just black or white. You don't have one person who is definitely the villain, or one person who's definitely the hero. These stories, these books, they represent the complexities of human life. 对, 人性很复杂的, 其实有时候我觉得挺遗憾的就是 Now you see sometimes the stories are so simplified. It's like when you look at one character and you say he's a bad person, so everything about him is bad. Literature should not be like that. Every character, good characters, good books should really be round, they should have different aspects about them. 就是说经典的文学里面, 所有的角色应该是比较复杂的, 全面的这样有血有肉的角色, 而不只是一个扁平化的脸谱型的角色。Hm.So now you might ask there are actually many of these courses, like reading courses, 其实市面上还有很多这种什么名著, 包括某一本书这样的课程. Why is our course a bit different?I would say first of all, we don't just have the regular classics like Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, which I'm sure you've all read, and they are all great books. Don't get me wrong. 就是我们选书的时候首先没有选那种就是说在中国读者这边就已经被说烂了的, 比如说什么 Jane Eyre, I've actually never read Jane Eyre. Neither do I.And personally, I'm not that crazy about Jane Austen or about Bronte Sisters because they've just been talked about so much. So what we want to do with this course is we want to introduce some books, they're pretty much known by everyone in the English speaking world, even if they've not read them, but they're known about, but they're not necessarily the most famous books here in China. 我们最开始在选择【英文名著扫盲班】第一季这10本书的书单的时候, 我跟安澜讨论了很久, 就找了一些这种在中国并不是大红大紫的, 或者被讨论了很多年的这种书, 但是这10本书又确实是在所有的英语世界的榜单里面都是在很前面的。 Usually top 10, top 20. Yep, and also our rule of thumb is if they are constantly referenced or parodied in TV shows or movies, then they're on the list. 还有一个就是经常会在英语国家的电视电影, 包括动画作品里面, 如果你经常能听到 cultural reference对它们的一些玩梗, 包括reference and parody恶搞, then they are on the list, because they are that popular. But we've also chosen stories and books that are quite varied in their themes or styles or genres. Because people are very different, right?One person might like reading this type of stories, another person might prefer something completely different. Yep. I have to admit there's one or two books on our list that probably not my favorites.We have our differences.Exactly. But we talk about books like To Kill a Mocking Bird, and we discuss racism and the background of the Civil Rights Movement; we also talk about Catcher in the Rye, and books that have been banned in schools. 《麦田里的守望者》就是禁书的榜首这样的书, 还有刚才安澜说了To Kill a Mocking Bird,《杀死一只知更鸟》会谈到种族冲突和平权的运动. And also 安澜has chosen personally Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Yes, that's actually one of my favorite books, but again very well known, it was originally a radio show, that has been made into a TV show and it's been made into a film as well. It has been parodied a lot, and you do see it as pop cultural references. It is science fiction. And it's totally absurd. It's essentially as a comedy. And also that, we know a lot of our listeners are students, you might be university students or even high school students. So you're just transitioning into your adulthood, you're becoming an adult. So we've also chosen a couple of the coming of age stories like Lord of the Flies, Little Women.And Treasure Island. 比如说我们还专门找了几本这种成长型的coming of age stories, 比如说《蝇王》或者说《小妇人》, 包括安澜说的《金银岛》, they are all touching upon the coming of age theme.

Paul and I had a great conversation about his books, psychology, and we talk about movies / tv shows. Everything he says about his book The Rose Vol 1…it’s true, it’s all true. You should check it out. About PD Avella I write primarily in two genres, science fiction and horror. I've been writing all my life. Wrote my first full length novel when I was twelve years old, a science fiction fantasy story that was inspired by a dream and a love for Lord of the Rings and Dungeons and Dragons. My first book was published in 2011 and since then I've published four additional books that include themes and genres in dark fiction, fantasy, metaphysical and paranormal, and psychology. I've been a practicing hypnotist and behavioral analyst for the past two decades. Now retried, I've devoted my life to writing full time. My interests include quantum physics, philosophy, alien lore (Yes I love Ancient Aliens), conspiracy theories, science of mind, and the concept of mind over matter. And of course Reading! Some of my greatest literary influences have been Ray Bradbury, Edgar Allan Poe, Washington Irving, The Bronte Sisters, HP Lovecraft, Washington Irving, Stephen King, Clive Barker, and more recently Blake Crouch, VE Schwab, JD Barker, John Connolly, and Alma Katsu. My favorite book of all time continues to be Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Additional influences are Star Wars, John Carpenter movies, silent horror films, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Pearl Jam. My new sci-fi series, The Rose, is scheduled for an October 7, 2020 world wide release. The Rose Vol. 1 is the first book in a planned series. Its dystopian, speculative, science fiction, action adventure, and a thriller. Did I mention the book features a sophisticated species of underground Alien Vampires? Hmm, I may have left that out. I also have a horror series titled Beyond the Chamber Door. Books one and two, Twisted Tales of Deceit and Presenting the Marriage of Kelli Anne and Gerri Denemer are currently published. The series features stand along stories in each installment. I'm currently editing book three, Golem, and writing book four in this series, Jigglyspot and the Zero Intellect. I'm also sort of a social media enthusiast! You can find me basically everywhere on the net. Visit my website here: https://pdalleva.com Here's my Instagram where I post pictures of books, current reads, and daily writers life pics: https://www.instagram.com/pdalleva_author/ My Facebook page is where I'll post interesting articles on books, reading, movies, and comics: https://www.facebook.com/pdallevaauthor/ My twitter account is where I post giveaways and promotions: https://twitter.com/PdallevaAuthor Follow me on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/author/pdalleva Follow me on Goodreads here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7634126.P_D_Alleva Follow me on Bookbub here: https://www.bookbub.com/profile/p-d-alleva

Hey Shoremates,Welcome back to Mind Your Helm. The podcast designed for those who who want the best books broken down into small, bite sized pieces. My name is JD Elliott, and today we are continuing The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle. I understand that sometimes these books can cause more questions to come up, so if there’s ever anything you want to talk about more in depth, you can find me streaming on Twitch. Just search for The Life Navigator, follow me, and you’ll get notifications whenever I go live. Action Items: For ease of reference, these are listed in the show notes. Today’s action items build on yesterday’s questions.Yesterday we talked about how Myelin is the secret ingredient, and today we went through some stories involving people who were commonly thought of as geniuses such as Beethoven, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and the Bronte Sisters. Now knowing they all spent thousands of hours practicing from a young age, what are your thoughts on this chapter? If you’re struggling with the idea that skillsets are really grown through deep practice, ask yourself why it’s hard for you to accept. Now, knowing that your brain will work to get better at whatever you have it do, what would you like to get better at? What do you need to do today in order to do that?Have fun. This is a long process, and it’s good to enjoy the journey versus only looking forward to the destination. Shoremates, I hope that this episode was valuable to you. The talent code is a life changing book, and I highly recommend adding it to your bookshelf for greater detail on each chapter. Always, always remember. You’ve got this.-J.D. Elliott

Warning: This show contains "To Walk Invisible: The Brontë Sisters" spoilers.

How did actor Chloe Pirrie bring this almost mythological writer to life? We spoke with Chloe about getting inside the mind of Emily Brontë and all of the wacky things that she discovered along the way.
