The 100 Most Influential boeken Ever Written: The History of Thought from Ancient Times to Today

I am door no means a great votary of any kind of "Best" lists and find them too subjective and at times highfalutin. But this lijst of the 100 most influential & mind-expanding boeken ever written seemed quite apposite and all-encompassing. British literary critic & historian Seymour-Smith's survey of what he considers the 100 most influential boeken is a searching inquiry into major thinkers, writers and philosophers. Seymour-Smith finds most modernist techniques already...

I was recently asked door a collegue what my favoriete read of the jaar was--I review a hell of a lot of new material every year. Matter-of-factly, I blurted out my answer without a seconde thought, "The Vampire Game door Les Bailey," I told him. "In fact, I loved the entire trilogy, It was extremely well written and the writing pulled me into another world away from my own. And the way I see it, that's exactly what a good novel is supposed to do!" I told him.

When I first came across Bailey's novel, he was a first-time published author. New to the world of publishing, of so I was told door his agent,...

As promised last year, auteur Les Bailey has released his initial literary offing, The Vampire Game: Discovery, in paperback.

First published solely through Kindle Books, the story hit the ground running, causing quite the stir in literary and social media circles. Fanpop.com contributor, known only as Fanmaven2015, (our boss!) had this to say about Bailey's story:

“This debut novel is not only one of the finest tales of the undead in my recent memory, it has brought me back to the vampire genre which was growing stale for me, sadly. Thank you, Mr. Bailey.”

Fanmaven goes on the say, “Passionate...

Seth wasn’t trying to pretend things were all right.
“I don’t know what happened between u two before tonight but I can probably guess…”
The look Keenan gave him confirmed Seth’s fears.
“Right. Here’s the thing. If she chooses to give u meer than her friendship, it’ll suck for me. Probably how u feel now.”
Keenan was motionless, but it was much the same way that caged lions became motionless – sizing u up for weakness. For all their feigning humanity, faeries were something Other. Aislinn was Other, and the longer she was with them, the further away from mortal normalcy...

I never really planned reading Hush Hush. In bookstores, I just passed door the books, seeing Hush Hush in a display. I know its about Fallen Angels but the cover didn't buy me. I didn't study it too well...until I read it.

I borrowed the book from my classmate who's an ultimate bookworm. I started reading it since she handed it to me. I finished it just today. =)

For me, Patch was bad-ass, sense of humor, sweet and caring. I liked the way he did to Nora when they were making tacos in the keuken-, keuken then she was sat up on the counter and Patch started kissing her jaw. Also another one especially the...

Daniel Goleman, 2006, 334 pages

Goleman in his groundbreaking book reveals that neural linkages between humans influence the brain and the body. These invisible bridges give us the ability to change people's moods, emotions, and health - as these people can do to us. Relationships not only shape emotional states and general psychological experience, but also the very physiological matter that makes our body. Our interactions with people influences our immune system, circulation, hormones, and breathing for example.

Social Intelligence expands from the one-person psychology within an individual...

When I sat down to avondeten, diner at a small Asian bistro with my old friend and writer Randy Jernigan, he quickly scanned the menu, searching for the healthiest foods. Today would not be one of his famous “cheat days” he shares on his social media pages–usually Mondays when he and best friend, Jackson Fackrell, indulge in what he terms a “free meal.” Today he opts for several veggie heavy dishes with less calories, and of course, minus the fried rijst and noodles. Later, as the waitress cleared the table, I notice that she cleared away his half eaten meal.

At the time I remembered our last...
