![]() ![]() The cinematic adaptations of almost all his books were good ( 3 Idiots and Kai Po Che were exceptional cinematic adaptations, while 2 States the book scored over 2 States the movie.) Enough about that though, moving over the actual topic now. I had an alternative like/dislike relationship with his work – I loved Five Point Someone, disliked Three Mistakes Of My Life, loved Two States, disliked Revolution 2020, and was totally pissed off with What Young India Wants. I loved Chetan Bhagat as a story-teller since Five Point Someone, and have followed up reading all his book released since then. ![]() In fact, I consider myself one of those “non-English types” to whom this book is dedicated to. I’ve always maintained that a book should be entertaining, irrespective of the language it’s written in or the quality of literature used in composing it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Narcissists don’t have insecurities, right? When the music stops and everyone goes home? When the day is gone and she doesn’t have anyone to entertain herself with? When she removes her makeup, taking off her brave face for the day, do the demons she keeps buried start playing with her when there’s no one else to play with? I know it’s pathetic to want a place among other people, and I know you’ll say it’s better to stand alone and be right than stand in a crowd and be wrong, but. No one cares.Īre they laughing at you?

It’s just that…given all of her detestable attributes, she’s never alone. Mean, cavalier, superficial… The kind who doesn’t have a thought stay in her head too long or else she needs a nap, right? I’ve always been fascinated with her, though.Īnd don’t roll your eyes at me. Cheerleader, popular, gets everything she wants… I hate to admit this, especially to you, but a long time ago I wanted to be her. ![]() ![]() When a pair of aerobats take their exhilarating show to a nearby airfield, Marian's life is changed forever.

Locke's theory of mind is often cited as the origin of modern conceptions of identity and the self, figuring prominently in the work of later philosophers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, David Hume, and Immanuel Kant. Internationally, Locke's political-legal principles continue to have a profound influence on the theory and practice of limited representative government and the protection of basic rights and freedoms under the rule of law. His contributions to classical republicanism and liberal theory are reflected in the United States Declaration of Independence. His writings influenced Voltaire and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and many Scottish Enlightenment thinkers, as well as the American Revolutionaries. His work greatly affected the development of epistemology and political philosophy. Considered one of the first of the British empiricists, following the tradition of Francis Bacon, Locke is equally important to social contract theory. John Locke FRS ( / l ɒ k/ 29 August 1632 – 28 October 1704) was an English philosopher and physician, widely regarded as one of the most influential of Enlightenment thinkers and commonly known as the "father of liberalism". ![]() John Locke's portrait by Godfrey Kneller, National Portrait Gallery, London ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He has wor Matthew LeDrew has written over twenty novels, some of which have gone on to become Canadian and international bestsellers.

"Y" is a deeply ambitious, engrossing epic that doesn't quite achieve the mastery and impact of its source material but is certainly a worthy adaptation. The series, created by Eliza Clark ("Animal Kingdom"), captures the tone and imagery of the comic books, but wisely is updated for the changed culture of 2021. The FX on Hulu "Y: The Last Man" series (streaming Mondays, ★★★ out of four) arrives on TV nearly 20 years after the comics' debut, and after a fraught production process, but manages to avoid collapsing under the weight of expectations. ![]() The violent, searing, philosophical books are beloved and cherished by comic book fans, and thus a Hollywood adaptation was both inevitable and difficult to pull off. ![]() Vaughan and Pia Guerra's seminal 2002 comic book series "Y: The Last Man" imagines that reality in a post-apocalyptic tale about what happens when every mammal with a Y chromosome dies at once, except for one man and his pet monkey. ![]() ![]() What would a world without men look like?īrian K. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is the story of an eerily compelling madman pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself.

Of course, I’m not talking about The Experiment. ![]() I read a lot of other big sci-fi novels, like Dune, Enders Game, Contact, Freedom’s Landing, Brightness Reef, and many more too. Telepathic bipedal/quadripedal feline aliens that create intimate mental and physical links… and a war with a strange feline xenophobic lizard species? Toss in a human colonist woman who was victimized by the lizard aliens and bonds with a male Sholan, the first interspecies bonding ever? A big favorite early on was Lisanne Norman’s Sholan Alliance worlds. From the first time I read about aliens, and alien worlds, I was hooked. The lure of science fiction has held me in its grasp for a long time. First off, let me thank Andy for inviting me to his blog again! This time I talk about my general love for science fiction!
