That these women are going to be like, 'Oh yes! American men are fantastic. ![]() Díaz says that he was never encouraged as a young boy by the culture around him to see women as fully human. Díaz' conversation with Steve Inskeep caught my attention.

The main character’s inner thoughts to herself were just as amusing as when she was speaking. You can tell while reading it that her writing has most definitely improved along the years. This is Mariana Zapata’s newest book, not counting the one that hasn’t been released yet. This book had me rolling in little fits of laughter. ![]() After years of insulting and jabbing at each other they will have to learn to get along enough to trust each other on the ice. ![]() Only one problem, Jasmine and Ivan can’t stand each other.

He is jaded because he was unceremoniously dumped by the man he’d been living with for eight years. That Henry is slow to recognize Reed’s interest in him is understandable because, for most of the rest of the world, he has to look deeper. And how much better would the world be if we were all like Reed? Honest, self-effacing, and caring of others? ![]() Usually I like to get the perspective of the other hero, but as Reed’s co-worker Emily says, Reed is incapable of lying. ‘The Weight of It All’ is entirely from Henry’s point-of-view and that worked. So when ‘A Very Henry Christmas: The Weight of It All 1.5’ was suddenly released, I seized the opportunity to listen to the beginning of the Henry and Reed story again before reading about their Christmas antics. Now, I listen to around 100 or more audiobooks in a year and this one was at the very top of my list for 2017. Oh, and, of course, there’s ‘The Weight of It All’. ![]() ![]() ‘Red Dirt Heart 3’ was released on audio, ‘Switched’ came out in both e-book and audio, and ‘On Davis Row’ was recently released in e-book.

The story then begins, describing how he had lived with an old man and eventually became obsessed with his eye, adding that he never wanted to steal the old man's gold because of his strange eye, the narrator decided to kill the old man. He insists that the story he tells is logical and not insane at all, although the very pattern of his language is a bit irrational, saying that he has heard heaven and hell, and the very pattern of his language is uncontrolled and rapid. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily - how calmly I can tell you the whole story" Poe, pg. ![]() ![]() Stories of Edgar Allan Poe The Tell-Tale HeartĪn unnamed narrator defensively declares that he is not insane, "I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. ![]() |
