People are preoccupied with their social status, obsessing over getting to the top and once there, maintaining their status. The cart only houses a select few but it is up to the majority to exert great effort in order to pull them. He uses the analogy of society as being like a horse and cart, but with the cart being pulled by people rather than horses. Narrator Julian West reduces the 19th century to four main social classes: rich, poor, educated, and uneducated. In the book – which initially drew little attention from readers but became successful with the printing of a second edition – the aristocratic Julian Welsh is emblematic of the 19 th century, while the character Doctor Leete represents the 20 th century. In his 1888 novel Looking Backward, Edward Bellamy, a New England writer who lived during the 19 th century, imagines the 20 th century as a socialist utopia in which capitalism and private property are a thing of the past, government is small, and society comprises citizens who work cooperatively for the common good.

The woman who slung open the screen door caught the animal midair, realized what she had in her hand, and threw it back toward Emily. She kicked her foot just as the door opened and the mouse flew up like a baseball. Live ones topped out the list above dead ones, but only slightly. There were two things that Emily hated and mice were both of them. She looked down just as a big yellow cat laid a dead mouse on her boots. She heard footsteps on hardwood floors, and then something brushed against her leg. He’d said that it wouldn’t until the box was put in Clarice’s hands. Then her grandfather’s spirit would rest in peace. Hand the box of letters over to Clarice Barton and she’d be back in her truck and on her way. Her heavy coat was in the pickup, but this job wouldn’t take long. The cold February wind swept across the wide porch of the ranch house and cut right through her lightweight denim jacket. Emily took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. This book was so gloriously geeky I want to unabashedly recommend it to everyone I meet. Cloning is totally a thing, so forget tiny dogs in handbags, dodos are the trendiest pets on the block. Though the literary detection agency tends to be a bit heavier on paper pushing than field work, Thursday manages to get herself entangled in danger and mayhem. Performances of Richard III are performed audience inclusion style a la The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Special Operations encompasses some zany departments including the Chronoguard who jump around through time making sure miscreants don’t try to rewrite history. Thursday Next is a Special Operations agent working in literary detection. The Eyre Affairtakes place in an alternate reality version of 1985 England. I’m kicking myself for this procrastination now because this book was the quirkiest little pile of literary geekery I’ve read in a good long while. Have you ever wanted to jump right into a book? Like dive into the pages and chill with your favorite characters? My latest read offered just that opportunity! I’ve had people recommending The Eyre Affair to me for years and only just got around to it.

Conan Doyle seemed to like American villains. Indeed, any listener who would understandably prefer to avoid my poor attempt at American accents, may prefer not to listen to a number of these stories. Anyone who finds this too offensive may wish to omit this story. Please note: Section 5, The Adventure of the Three Gables, includes language which, though normal for the time it was written, is now regarded as highly unacceptable racial slurs. Part 2 of this audio book will available as soon as it is recorded. Not all the stories are narrated by the faithful Watson, and the stories are regarded as the darkest of the Holmes canon, with some unusual villains. There is some disagreement as to their quality, and some claim that Conan Doyle was writing more experimentally, rather than to the conventional Sherlock Holmes formula. And so, reader, farewell to Sherlock Holmes! These are positively the last stories. But I think I must have laughed back then, when I was starting, coming up with my own rules. I don’t smile or laugh as I work, when I write a line that might make a reader laugh. With a name like that, I’d have enough to keep me writing for months. The closed door – the plot – started to open in front of me. The nickname – The Lips – would be the reward for his prowess on the trumpet, but it already hinted at other rewards. I was thinking of Rico Rodriguez, the trombone player in the Specials, and Saxa, aka Lionel Augustus Martin, the middle-aged sax player in the Beat. He’d be the older man, the link to the musical past, the 60s, the route to black America. He was going to be Joey The Lips, never just Joey. I discovered that night that there’s nothing quite as exhilarating in the writer’s life as bringing a character to life with a good name. ‘There’s nothing quite as exhilarating as bringing a character to life with a good name’ … Roddy Doyle.
