This book started a love affair with JD Salinger. I, and many others, felt like Holden spoke directly to me. It is very clever, but it goes much deeper than that. I've read it countless times since them, and did one of my senior projects at Smith on how to teach this book. So much symbolism! So much tone in the writing!

Okay, stop me if i'm wrong. Gramsci is a critic of revolutions, taking an anarchist’s stance in that a state-structure will eventually obfuscate revolutionary goals on the basis of those-in-power's personal interest. He most closely dissects the Russian Revolution as the most recent (and successful) revolution to his time, though thoroughly criticizes Italian government and state as well (he was in their prison, after all). His complaint is that revolutionaries become invested in personal interest once they come to power. The remodeling of state for the specific interests of those in power develops a purely ‘economic-corporate’ economy, with no basis for human need, and Gramsci describes this as ‘the worst kind of feudalism.’ He praises the Jacobins in the 1790s of France for violently quashing any party to be reactionary towards the revolution, including revolutionaries who had seemingly changed. This violent period, where every one and their mother were guillotined gave way to the Napoleonic Wars, because the anarchism got so out of control it elapsed into chaos. To avoid this chaos, he implores cultural identity to be drawn for all classes. He says a nation must be formed nationally before it is deemed international. The growth must be organic and humanistic. Peasants and intellectuals chose their own culture, it grows from them and is accepted as national character: this is the dispersion of hegemony. The basis for Gramsci is the ability of the individual: A proletarian, no matter how intelligent, no matter how fit to become a man of culture, is forced either to squander his qualities on some other activity, or else to become a rebel and autodidact—i.e.(apart from some notable exceptions) a mediocrity, a man who cannot give all he could have given had he been completed and strengthened by the discipline of school. Culture is a privilege. Education is a privilege. And we do not want it to be so. All young people should be equal before culture. Accessibility is key. He believes in the power of contradiction, the dialectical necessity for difference: In life no act remains without consequences, and to believe in one theory rather than another has its own particular impact on action. Even an error leaves traces of itself, to the extent that its acceptance and promulgation can delay( but certainly not prevent) the attainment of an end. And that the ability to impart knowledge and progress comes not from the state’s implementation of culture, but from individual growth. He is a liberal, which by his definition makes him an economist. He believes in individual decisions to govern necessity. The necessity for that freedom: man knows himself, he knows how much his individual will can be worth, and how it can be made more powerful in that, by obeying, by disciplining itself to necessity, it finally dominates necessity itself, identifying it with its own ends. Who knows himself? Not man in general, but he who undergoes the yoke of necessity.

Dempsey Durwood, one of Sidra Smart’s first clients, approaches her to take the case of Boo Murphy who has been accused of murdering her second cousin Sasha’s husband Zeke. Boo swears she shot at him but did it just to scare him but she didn’t kill him. She does claim that she saw a pirate ship, the Hotspur, half-buried in the Texas swamp. Sidra Smart has been operating the detective agency, The Third Eye, left to her by her brother Warren. She has run into a few mishaps along the way including the fact that her office burned to the ground. Things are looking up now though. Sidra has just received her Private Investigator License as well as an insurance check to rebuild her office. Sidra has been working out of the home of her Aunt Annie but is more than ready to get back in her own office. She is anxious for some paying clients and not too excited about taking on a client with no money but many wild tales. In spite of the way, she feels about the case Sidra decides to do some investigation. She also spots the pirate ship or at least she thinks she does. Between Sidra’s visions, Boo’s tales and Annie insisting on getting into the act Dead Wreckoning is a very interesting book with lots of history thrown in the mix. Some people have the idea that Boo actually boarded the pirate ship and came away with treasure. Sidra has her hands full trying to clear Boo of the charges and protect her at the same time. George Leger, Sidra’s trusted mentor, is acting very strangely too and Sidra is worried George has gotten himself involved in some trouble. Sidra’s dog Slider gets into the act as well as Aunt Annie. Dead Wreckoning is well worth reading. This is the third book in the Sidra Smart series but can be read as a stand-alone.

An insightful look into the creation of great movies and a perceptive look at how stars and studios don't understand the dynamics of good storytelling.
I read this a year or so ago, I bought it in a charity shop because it looked good and I certainly wasn't disappointed. It's a lovely little adventure story that's funny and very well written. The world of the gnole and his tribe was really absorbing, almost like something Terry Pratchett might have written. The end was a bit of a disappointment, but I think that's just me and endings, I'm almost never completely satisfied with an ending.

I read the entire series, as did my two children aged 9 years (girl) and 7 years (boy). We all loved the books. I read the second book in a day, and I could not put it down. The books are exciting and present age old topics in a fresh new way. Gregor, the main character, falls through the vent in the laundry room of his apartment building in New York City. He finds himself in a strange new world. Humans living side by side with larger than life animals. Rats, bats, cockroaches, and spiders to name a few. Each species must find a way to get along with the others and share the limited resources available in an underground world. Gregor arrives and, in the opinion of the human underlanders, fulfills a prophecy. They believe Gregor will deliver them from strife. The story is imaginative and keeps you turning page after page.
