![]() ![]() ![]() The Pillars of the Earth is kind of a mash-up between a point-and-click and a visual novel. And while I haven’t finished the book yet (it’s seriously an enormous book, and it’s the first in a series), I do think the experience helped enrich my experience with the game itself. So I decided to do what any sane person would do and buy the book to read alongside the game. So I was a little worried that Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth would be ponderous, both in book and video game form. ![]() Norrell by Susanna Clark the former was enjoyable, the latter a disappointing slog. In fact, I can think of only two that I’ve actually read: Crossing the Horizon by Laurie Notaro and Jonathan Strange & Mr. I’ll admit that historical fiction isn’t usually something I hunt down of my own accord.

One night, Margo crawls through Quentin's window and asks to borrow his car. She went as a groupie for three months with a band among other things. Margo (Cara Delevingne) was one of the popular kids at high school who did whatever she wanted, Quentin (Nat Wolff) is not, and they aren't really friends after that night in childhood. Her life was a series of epic adventures. Quentin comments that Margo loved mysteries so much she became one. Quentin refused to go as it was 11:00 pm, and they were kids, so she rode her bike there without him. She showed up one day at his window, saying she discovered that the dead man's wife worked at Sea World, and wanted to go out with him to Sea World to solve the mystery. Quentin didn't flinch, but Margo took it badly. Apparently, the man couldn't cope with his impending divorce. They were both close in age, they became close friends and did everything together, until one day they discovered a dead body. Quentin's life changed the day Margo Roth Spiegelman moved next door. ![]() ![]() With his balding head, cardigan, and khakis, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Casting.

The above quote is great, because I suspect it reflects a tongue-in-cheek challenge that Jeffrey Eugenides put to himself when writing The Marriage Plot, a modern novel that revolves around marriage, but which faces the very plot difficulties mentioned above: gender equality and divorce-along with the giant elephant in this story’s fictional room: mental illness.

Stellarlune Book by Shannon Messenger Official Publisher Page. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Masefield perfectly captures a child’s perspective, from the terrors of tigers under the bed to the horrors of declining a Latin adjective. Although it was published in 1927, it evokes an older world: houses are lit by oil lamps, and travel is by horse, carriage – or broomstick. The Midnight Folk is a feast of imaginative story-telling, a glorious cornucopia of pirates and witches, lost treasure and talking animals. The evil Abner Brown is searching for it too, but Kay is helped by the midnight folk: creatures like Nibbins the cat and Rollicum Bitem Lightfoot the fox, and even his lost toys, who will join him on his dangerous quest. Life is lonely and dull, until one night Kay’s great-grandpapa Harker, a sea captain, steps out of his portrait to tell him about a stolen treasure that belongs to Kay’s family. His only companions are his unpleasant guardian Sir Theopompus and his governess Sylvia Daisy Pouncer (who, Kay suspects, has stolen all his toys). Young Kay Harker lives in an old house in the country, filled with portraits of his ancestors. We hear that the house has gone all to sixes and sevens since we left it, but that’s going to be remedied now’ ![]() ![]() ![]() Noah is an out and proud artist, working 3 jobs to pay tuition, hoping for the same scholarship Will is after because he’s so broke he’s having a hard time paying the bills. ![]() His goal is to win a scholarship for next year and be honest then. What he really wants is to be a gay painter, but he can’t afford to be honest with either his sexuality or his preferred profession. Will is in his last year of business school (to satisfy Daddy) playing the straight, star quarterback for SCU. Stay in the closet and keep his family’s wealth, or let the doors fall off and walk out with nothing. ![]() Hounded by the press and harassed by other players, Will has to choose. When a gossipmonger with a popular YouTube channel finds evidence that Will is gay, the quarterback’s closet doors begin to crumble. Noah wants the scholarship too and may have a way to get it since the teacher of his class has designs on him, a plan Will isn’t happy about. Will’s problems seem like nothing compared to Noah’s. A scarred orphan who’s slept on park benches and eaten from trash cans, Noah carefully plans his life and multiple jobs so he has money and time to go to art school. In a painting master class, Will meets his divergent opposite, Noah Zajack. But if he can win the coveted Milton Scholarship for art, he’ll be able to break from his father at the end of his senior year. He meets his wealthy father’s goals as both the quarterback for the famous SCU football team and a business major, but secretly he attends art school and longs to live as a painter. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I think it's surpassed Wild Sheep Chase as my favorite one of his books.ĮDIT: I'm going through all of Murakami's fiction novels, chronologically. Overall, I think it was the hardest it's been for me to get into a Murakami book, but then end's up delivering that Murakami style that's so compelling about his stuff. That whole half of the book was such a different story than the previous Murakami stuff I read before, and I think it was a really good juxtaposition with the weirdly whimsical Hard-Boiled Wonderland half, and the whole binary/duality theme through the book was compelling. ![]() In the beginning, the End of the World part really dragged for me but as it started interweaving with the main story I started to really enjoy it. I really enjoyed Hard-Boiled Wonderland and kind of wanted to see what other's thought. I've read "Norwegian Wood" and "Wild Sheep Chase" before, and consider myself a Murakami fan. ![]() Forget the end of the world, I was ready to reclaim my whole self (239). The hard-boiled narrator wants to get his stolen memories back and live. Both narrators suffer from memory alteration. I just finished "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and End of the World" by Haruki Murakami. Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World raises many questions about the relationship between memory and identity. ![]() |
