![]() ![]() When I glanced in the mirror at my face, it was stiff and cold, skin tight and grayish. I’d expected to feel satisfaction, some kind of relief. This was the last kill I’d make in the USA, maybe for the rest of my life. It had been a long two weeks, and now that we were nearly there, I felt hollow, sour, even bored. The Yaroshenko Organizatsiya had been planting bodies there since my grandfather’s day, and if the Feds ever found it, they’d have enough bones to keep the world in human ivory for the next decade. We were headed north along the Interstate, gunning for a place that a long-dead gangster had nicknamed Bozya Akra, God’s Acre. ![]() Snappy Joe Grassia – Manelli hitman, renowned sadist, and murdering piece of human waste – was hog-tied in my trunk. Vengeance, like most fantasies, is better in the imagining than it is in the execution. ![]()

![]() Unfortunately, this novel by far the most action-packed volume of the series so far. If you’ve been following my reviews, you know how much I enjoyed reading The Dresden Files, but at the same time, you’re also probably sick of me criticizing the pacing of its action scenes in some volumes. Small Favor, the tenth volume in the series, is an installment full of actions. Suffice to say the life for Harry and his friends are imperiled once again. There’s a lot going on here Were-goats, the Archive, the Knights of the Cross, Marcone, Mab, and last but not least, Nicodemus and the Denarians. Mab, the Queen of Air and Darkness, calls in an old favor from Harry Dresden, and immediately all hell breaks loose. Just when he thought his life is looking up, everything seems to be at peace, but then the past visits. “Punctuality is for people with nothing better to do.” I actually wish I can prolong my speed, but it seems likely that by October or November, I’ll be fully caught up with the series. To the longtime fans of the series, here’s a brief reminder that Peace talks, the long-awaited sequel in The Dresden Files> series, is out now! As for me, I’m still slowly catching up.

![]() ![]() I hope to show that through a process that has had disturbing implications for the understanding of Jung, and his rightful location in twentieth century intellectual history, Memories, Dreams, Reflections is by no means Jung’s autobiography. ![]() In this study, my first omission will be the vast majority of this secondary literature, for reasons that will become clear. Since Jung’s death, it has been the preeminent source on his life and has spawned a plethora of secondary literature. ![]() It has been taken as his final testament, for, as Gerhard Adler notes, “Nowhere else has the man Jung revealed himself so openly or testified to his crises of decision and the existence of his inner law.”3 Memories, Dreams, Reflections is commonly regarded as Jung’s most important work, as well as being the most widely known and read. This is such an important and intensely original book-I think it will have an enormous success and become a classic! ~Richard Hull, 1960 The Original Protocols for Memories, Dreams, Reflections MEMORIES, DREAMS, OMISSIONS by Sonu Shamdasani Carl Jung Depth Psychology Facebook Group ![]() ![]() ★ A kind of safety net, helping readers be better prepared and more confident when taking end-of-book assessments ![]() ★ Focused on helping students follow along with the main idea of the story as they progress through the book ★ A very simple review with an emphasis on basic recall ★ ALL CHAPTER-BY-CHAPTER COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS IN MY STORE ARE SET UP IN THE SAME WAY ★ ★ Get my Book Series Bookmark for The Bad Guys FREE when you purchase the Bad Guys reading comprehension questions discount bundle! ★ They're particularly helpful for students reading independently who struggle to succeed on things like AR or SRC quizzes, but they could also be used in small reading groups or as a quick review when reading as a class.

![]() ![]() I actually preferred listening to this book over watching or listening to one of Gaffigan’s stand-up routines because it came across as more intimate to me like we were sitting at the kitchen table sharing stories. For example, dealing with family during the holidays, ugh. The reason I liked the book was because there were many times where it validated what I already knew to be true about being a parent. When I heard that the next chapter was going to be “You win, McDonalds”, I knew that I was going to be agreeing with what he was about to be saying.Īnother reason I appreciated the book was because it helped me to see more humor in the parenting situations that aren’t always humorous. Since Gaffigan narrated his own book, Dad is Fat came across as a series of stand-up comedy routines or essays on various subjects related to parenting. Of all the comedians, I enjoy Jim Gaffigan because he is a relatively clean comedian and his topics don’t cause me to cringe. As a departure from my usual fiction novel, Dad is Fat was a good book and an even funnier book to listen to. ![]() |
