Don't even think about reading House Harkonnen without reading its predecessor Dune: House Atreides; anyone who does so risks sinking in the sands between Frank Herbert's original Dune and this prequel trilogy by Herbert's son, Brian, and Kevin J. Anderson. The purist argument that had Frank Herbert wanted to go backwards he would have done so is, at least in part, negated by the sheer narrative verve, and by the fact that Anderson and Brian Herbert manage to pull some genuine surprises out of this long-running space-opera. House Harkonnen is a massive book, and there are places where it becomes plot heavy, but in following the story of Duke Leto Atreides and the conflicts with House Harkonnen, the authors succeed in spinning a gripping adventure while going off in some unexpected directions. Anderson, who has written many successful Star Wars novels, has noted his particular admiration for The Empire Strikes Back, and his desire to emulate that film's dark take on the genre. In House Harkonnen, the conflict encompasses the tragedy of nuclear war, marked by grief and horror, vengeance and torment, and all while the complex intrigues continue to unfold.

Five Little Pigs: A Hercule Poirot Mystery
It was an open and shut case. All the evidence said Caroline Crale poisoned her philandering husband, a brilliant painter. She was quickly and easily convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
Now, sixteen years later, in a posthumous letter, Mrs. Crale has assured her grown daughter that she was innocent. But instead of setting the young woman's mind at ease, the letter only raises disquieting questions. Did Caroline indeed write the truth? And if she didn't kill her husband, who did?
To find out, the Crale’s daughter asks Hercule Poirot to reopen the case. His investigation takes him deep into the conflicting memories and motivations of the five other people who were with the Crales on the fatal day. With his keen understanding of human psychology, he manages to discover the surprising truth behind the artist's death.

In this delightfully amusing, clever guide, Thomas Parrish points out real-life grammar gaffes from top-notch publications such as the New York Times and the New Yorker to illustrate just how widespread these errors are.

All of which makes The Grouchy Grammarian the most entertaining, accessible how-not-to guide you’ll ever read.

Jean Starobinski, The Living Eye
- Jean Starobinski, The Living Eye
- Harvard UP | 1989 | ISBN 0674536649 | 262 Pages | PDF OCR | 6.2 MB
- This recent addition to the Harvard Studies in Comparative Literature appeared first in French in 1961 (L'Oeil Vivant).
- Jean Starobinski, a major critic in Europe and this country, has written for this translation a brief preface in which he traces the history of his interest in the opposition between appearance and reality in literary texts. Arthur Goldhammer helps in his excellent translation to clarify the many metaphysical discussions.
- For Starobinski the critic is the man richly endowed for under standing himself but who gives himself over to the task of understanding something outside of himself. This is his function, this is his urgency. He must seek to establish an almost inconceivable relationship with something foreign to himself.
- TOC: Poppaea's veil -- Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the peril of reflection -- Pseudonymous Stendhal -- The critical relation -- Psychoanalysis and literary understanding -- Hamlet and Oedipus -- The interpreter's progress.
