He looked familiar, possibly a movie star from one of the many films I didn’t have time to see, my job as a FBI agent all-consuming, which was the way I preferred it, so I didn’t have time to think about my husband.

And why I’d slipped on the little black dress with two slits up the side, anything to encourage it to happen. I walked into the hotel bar knowing there was a strong chance that I would be drugged and kidnapped by the end of the night.

"Eliot is often see as an intellectually difficult, fearfully elitist writer, and so in some ways he was. My Lit book, How to Read a Poem, said it best: Understanding Eliot's poems is not the point the point is to recognize that he writes with incredible skill and to just lose yourself in the words. Eliot has been quoted as saying he's perfectly aware that no one has any idea what his poems are about, and he's perfectly cool with that. But (and this is the great part) that doesn't matter. Does this mean I understand a single goddamn word of it? Of course not. Eliot: the man is ungodly brilliant and I love almost everything he's written. ![]() ![]() I'm trying to write a term paper on this poem (key word is "trying") and then I realized, hey, I should waste some time by writing a review of the poem on Goodreads!

Sisters is a 2015 American comedy film directed by Jason Moore, written by Paula Pell and is the second collaboration between Tina Fey and Amy Poehler following the film Baby Mama (2008). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yet, however much this book is about Plutarch and his Caesar, Pelling has packed much, much more into his commentary. Behind this invaluable introduction and the whole of the commentary stands not just Pelling’s 1988 commentary on Plutarch’s Antony and his numerous articles on Plutarch (many reprinted with updating annotations in his 2002 Plutarch and History, itself a companion to much of Plutarch). An excellent, succinct companion to the whole of Plutarch and all the Lives is found in the seventy-six page introduction, with emphasis of course on Caesar. The English translation is the foundation (52 pp.) for which there are 373 data- filled pages of commentary. While some of us crane our necks looking for Plutarch in the recent parade of companions to ancient authors, topics, and eras (two are in the queue, rumor has it), a profoundly rich book has arrived in this new addition to the Clarendon Ancient History Series. ![]() ![]() The second book, titled You First: Journal Your Way to Your Best Life was published on Septemby Crown Archetype.
