![]() So it was extremely fun to hear what happened from a soldiers point of view. The Agincourt battle has to be my favorite in history. Glad to hear he died a lord of 1000 acres of land. The Hookton reference at the end of chapter 5 was dope. I feel like we got a better idea of an every day archer in an English army from Nick because he seemed to not have Hookton luck. Nick felt like a less divine / more brutish version of Thomas of Hookton. Sure Michael got wrongfully killed, Thomas got stabbed in the groin, and Michael (?) got killed by Melisandre’s Father in an unsuspecting way, but after reading the other Cornwell books I know that the deaths could have been much worse (wife’s, father figures, innocents, etc…) There weren’t many deaths that really rugged at my heart. For me, it was satisfying because of how everything played out in the end. ![]() ![]() MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD * For all of those people who’d like to discuss this book, post questions and your favorite or least favorite part of the books! *Īgincourt was a good story that I feel has the most satisfying ending of any of the books I read so far (warlord chronicles, and the books for Thomas of Hookton). ![]() ![]() By signing up, I confirm that I'm over 16.

Where Garp and Widow present an almost endless number of fascinating characters whom we follow through many years and many (mis)adventures, The Fourth Hand limits itself to a small group of people, none of whom is particularly interesting. Conversely, The Fourth Hand belongs on the opposite end of the Irving spectrum. Widow ranks among, I think, Irving's best books, the best of which is The World According To Garp. ![]() I was reading his last novel, A Widow For One Year, when I became aware of the new one - and I was loving it. The new John Irving novel, The Fourth Hand, fell neatly into this latter category. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In Alyssa Palombo's The Spellbook of Katrina Van Tassel nothing is as it seems, and love is a thing even death won't erase.

Through their shared love of books and music, they form a friendship that quickly develops into romance.

In 1982 he was able to revisit Tibet during the ""Chinese-staged thaw,"" and he was by turns heartbroken and inspired by what be observed: Valuable cultural treasures had been destroyed by the invaders, and stories of concentration camps, forced labor, and political murders sent him reeling. He became an important figure in the country-chief engineer, tutor of the Dalai Lama-but left as the Chinese commenced their occupation. There he found what he took to be an idyll: a sublime mix of Tibetan Buddhism, ancient customs, and dust-free air that made landscape colors incandescent.

Whatever its roots, he was drawn to the hidden realms of the spirit world with its strange facts and marvels. ![]() Some critics attribute Hearn's fascination with eerie tales to his partial blindness. All have been re-colored and reshaped by Hearn's inimitable hand. Many of the stories found in Kwaidan, stories and studies of strange things, are based on Japanese tales told long ago to him by his wife others possibly have a Chinese origin. Known primarily as an early interpreter of Japanese culture and customs, the famous writer Lafcadio Hearn also wrote ghost stories-delicate, transparent, ghostly sketches-about his adopted land. This collection of Japanese supernatural stories is a classic work in the field of Japanese horror. ![]() |
