Nevertheless I enjoyed the rest so much I'd certainly read another book by her. Alice and Rook really deserved something better and more real than this. ![]() I'd have given it four stars if it hadn't been for the last two chapters, which seemed to have been written with a Hollywood film deal in mind. In many ways she reminds me of Maggie O'Farrell, who is also so good at conveying strong emotion. Of course there are parts that are a bit implausible, but I thought she did a good job of making Alice's behaviour and reactions completely believable. The central idea of Alice living through an extreme experience that transforms her outlook on life appealed to me too. All the characters seemed like real individuals, the sort you think about after you've finished the book, wondering what they are doing now. I also liked her set of characters and the claustrophobic tension on the Antarctic base. ![]() I really enjoyed this escapist read I got so absorbed in the parts set in Antarctica that at one point I complained that the room was cold even though I was curled up on the sofa next to a blazing fire! Rosie Thomas is so good at conveying a sense of place, and I liked the fact that it was clear that she had been spellbound by Antarctica, Alice's feelings about it a reflection of hers. ![]() I'd never read or even heard of Rosie Thomas before this. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Tolkien lord of the rings![]() ![]() They besieged the Havens of the Falas under Círdan, and the siege wasn't broken until the arrival of the Ñoldor. The newly organized Orcs killed Denethor, the King of the lightly armed Laiquendi, but were eventually defeated by Thingol and his allies. For over a millennium, the Orcs were only a minor problem, but when Melkor (Morgoth) returned with the Silmarils he took full charge of them and soon unleashed them on Beleriand. They were first seen by the Dwarves who reported them to Thingol, King of Doriath, causing the latter to seek weapons of war for the first time. They multiplied and later spread through northern Middle-earth. Īfter the War for Sake of the Elves many Orcs (along with fallen Maiar and other evil servants of Melkor) survived in the deep caves, pits, chambers, and tunnels of Melkor's underground fortress Angband. Before Oromë first found the Elves at Cuiviénen, Melkor kidnapped some of them and cruelly deformed them, twisting them into the first Orcs. They were conceived of by Morgoth during the Years of the Lamps, serving him and later his successor, Sauron, in their quest to dominate Middle-earth. Orcs were the primary soldiers of the Dark Lords' armies and the most common of their servants. " Tolkien creates them to represent all that is bad about modern war." - Lynette Nusbacher in The Story of J.R.R. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments The convenience store woman![]() ![]() She sees people as “cogs” in society, presenting both the world and its inhabitants as parts of a functional machine, and it is only by becoming a “cog” as part of the convenience store that Keiko values her life. Throughout the novel, Keiko presents herself as an object of the convenience store, owned by it and directed by its needs. ![]() ![]() Although Amelia Brown rightly describes Keiko as “empowered” by the end of the novel, the brainwashing influence of biopower makes this empowerment faintly tragic, and sparks questions about whether escaping biopower is even possible. But the implied morality of Murata’s novel suggests that the state of bodily control to which Keiko willingly subjects herself may not be as simple as either oppression or free will. In Sayaka Murata’s 2016 novel, Convenience Store Woman, her main character, Keiko, a worker at a SmileMart who dedicates her whole life to her job, is an object of biopower. Coined by Michel Foucault, “biopower” is a term used to describe the ways in which the human body is subjugated and controlled by the state. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Tolkien the authorized biography![]() ![]() One day while grading essay papers he found himself writing 'In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit' - and worldwide renown awaited him.

He served in the first World War, surviving the Battle of the Somme, where he lost many of the closest friends he'd ever had.
