Expecting the perfectibility of humanity “if only everyone followed this set of rules” is an idiot’s game. I believe what we’re seeing is Poirot being forced to see the limitations of human justice systems and the fact that humans are inherently messy and flawed. He’s got reason to be, but at the same time, I couldn’t accept the climax in the bar car where he rants about individuals taking justice into their own hands. Here, however, he’s not just grumpy over human foibles. I’ve seen them all, so I can say, yes, David Suchet is Poirot. He’s definitive and it’s hard now to think of anyone else being Poirot other than him. “Orient Express” is full of beautifully composed scenes such as this one.David Suchet does a wonderful job portraying Poirot.

In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts argues persuasively against contemporary health, social, and criminal justice policies toward addiction and those impacted by it. Simplifying a wide array of brain and addiction research findings from around the globe, the book avoids glib self-help remedies, instead promoting a thorough and compassionate self-understanding as the first key to healing and wellness. Maté presents addiction not as a discrete phenomenon confined to an unfortunate or weak-willed few, but as a continuum that runs throughout (and perhaps underpins) our society not a medical "condition" distinct from the lives it affects, rather the result of a complex interplay among personal history, emotional, and neurological development, brain chemistry, and the drugs (and behaviors) of addiction. Based on Gabor Maté's two decades of experience as a medical doctor and his groundbreaking work with the severely addicted on Vancouver's skid row, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts radically reenvisions this much misunderstood field by taking a holistic approach.

If you love woolly mammoths, elephants and all things prehistoric and big, this novel is a must-read. Roger Pepper writes so vividly, you can almost feel the arctic chill sinking into your bones." - Tess Gerritsen, NYT bestselling author of DIE AGAIN - Roger Pepper is a retired aerospace materials engineer with a love of science, travel, The Brothers Karamazov, the Arctic, Cro-Magnons, woolly mammoths and all sorts of cool things (and really, really cold things!). "THE BROTHERS CRO-MAGNON is a thrilling ride into a world few authors dare to go. Let's just say it was an undeserving finale and wrap up for this book's potential. My rapt interest briefly returned toward the end of the story, when Elian finds out who Lira really is, but those scenes were followed by the final battle and ending which can be best described as lackluster. And, you guessed it, no swashbuckling shenanigans. But both Lira's transition to humanity and her slow budding romance with Elian were underwhelming. I was expecting a lot more from Lira's complex darkness, a nail-biting romance, and some fun pirate swashbuckling to top it all off. I was riveted through the first quarter of the book, but my enthrallment slowly faded away as the story sailed on (pun intended). It's dark and different, and it paves the way for what I thought would be a fantastic story. Thoughts: This book starts off with a bang. Lira now has to bring back Elian's heart to win her mother's favor and become a siren again. How awesome is that? The story takes off when Lira makes a mistake that pisses off her one-dimensional, evil queen mother, who turns her into a human as punishment. The skinny: You have Lira, a beautiful siren princess who rips royal hearts from their chests with her bare hands, and Elian, a witty pirate prince who makes a successful career out of hunting Lira's kind.

Exposing secrets she once held sacred, Bad Mormon is an unfiltered look at the religion that broke her heart. With writing that is beautiful, sad, funny, and true, Heather recounts the difficult discovery of the darkness and damage that often exists behind a picture-perfect life, while examining the nuanced relationship between duty to self and duty to God. But her life as a good Mormon abruptly ended when she lost the marriage and faith that she had once believed would last forever. She attended Brigham Young University, served a mission in France, and married into Mormon royalty in the temple. Born and bred to be devout, Heather based her life around her faith. Whether as a businesswoman, mother, or television personality, she is unafraid to blaze a new trail, even if it means losing family, friends, and her community. Straight off the slopes and into the spotlight, Heather Gay is famous for speaking the gospel truth. Drinking and Tweeting meets Unorthodox in this vulnerable memoir about The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star’s departure from the Mormon Church, and her unforeseen success in business, television, and single motherhood. The book tells the story of the samurai Miyamoto Musashi (1584–1645), the greatest Japanese warrior ever, starting from his first battle– that is the Battle of Sekigahara, in 1600 – up to the duel that made him famous in the whole world. In this wonderful, international classic novel, we can live the life of one of the greatest warrior of all times and also find our true self. There will be nothing but hardship, and it won’t get easier as it goes along. If you chose to bind your life to mine, you’d never be happy. I want to spend every moment of every day working to improve myself. I want to dedicate myself to training and discipline. I stayed in that musty hole for three years.
