Jews versus Zombies
By Adam Roberts | February 24, 2015
Categories: Book News
Rebecca Levene and Lavie Tidhar have edited these two volumes, Jurassic have published them, proceeds will go to a very worthwhile charity, and from March, you'll be able to buy either (or both!) here. It's e-book only at the moment, but a limited edition hard copy is coming, and perhaps an omnibus. Zombies contains my story 'Zayinim', at which I laboured and struggled over a period of many months, honing and polishing the sentences, adjusting the structure, refining the narratorial voice and undertaking whole weeks of detailed zom/hebie research. I can only hope you like the result.
Locus: Best SF/Fantasy of 2014
By Adam Roberts | February 1, 2015
Categories: Book News
The complete list is here. I was delighted to see Bête listed amongst the (very strong) list of best novels; and doubly-delighted that Sibilant Fricative: Essays & Reviews is listed amongst 'Best Non-Fiction'. Triple delight awaited me when I saw that "Thing and Sick" (originally in Solaris Rising 3) is listed amongst the 'Best Novelettes'. Good gracious, if I were to carry on looking down this list, and found yet another of my 2014 titles, perhaps the short story 'Trademark Bugs: A Legal History', included as well, well I would reach quadruple delight, and that would have serious health implications for my frail body. So I'll stop.

My Six Best Books of 2014 …
By Adam Roberts | December 18, 2014
Categories: Book News
... in a more-literal sense than is usually implied by these sorts of headlines.
1. Bête, a novel: it's the best of me. £6.49 on Kindle; still some hardcover copies left in stock (pricier, but makes a better gift. Look at that cover art! I mean, obviously I can't claim any credit for the cover art. But you have to agree: it is a thing of beauty).
2. Twenty Trillion Leagues Under the Sea, a novel. Gorgeously illustrated by the sublime Mahendra Singh. A piffling £5.49 on Kindle; only four hardcover copies left anywhere in the world. What are you waiting for?
3. Sibilant Fricative, a collection of essays and reviews. I believe that all hardcopies of this title are sold now; so it's Kindle only: but at £3.42 it's a steal. (Many of the pieces in that volume first appeared on my Punkadiddle blog; but I've taken that blog down now, so if you want to read those pieces you gotta buy the book. Cunning, no?)
4. Get Started in: Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy (Teach Yourself: Writing). Freshly published!
5. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Biographia Literaria (Edinburgh University Press). The first new edition since 1983 of this foundational classic of literary criticism; all annotation loose-ends tied up, new facts about the tortured compositional history of the book uncovered, 200-pages of introductory matter. And an eye-wateringly expensive price. What you gonna do? Academic publishing is a strange thing.
6. Landor's Cleanness (Oxford University Press). The best critical monograph on Walter Savage Landor available! Well, strictly speaking, the only critical monograph on Walter Savage Landor available. But that's still something.
A: So. That's a lot of books.
R: It is.
A: For one year, I mean.
R: Well, it's not quite as Stakhanovite as it may, at first blush, appear. It's more a reflection of the exigencies of publishing, or more specifically of different kinds of publishing.
A: How so?
R: Well: take the two academic titles. Landor's Cleanness was written 2011-12, and OUP decided they wanted to publish it towards the end of that latter year. If it's taken until October 2014, that's partly because the wheels of academic publish grind slow. The Biographia Edition was also mostly finished by the end of 2012; and revised and readied for the press in 2013. Of all the titles in the photo above it was the one that took the most labour, partly because compiling it and writing the intro was just a laborious business, and partly because the proofing was an immensely painstaking matter. It's a scholarly edition of a classic of English letters; I had to get the text right.
A: Still!
R: Well, except that my day-job is Professor of Nineteenth-Century Literature, and pursuing research of this kind (Coleridge, Landor) is a large part of that job. Those two titles represent the main focus of my Professorial energies for nearly four years; that they both happen to appear within months of one another is just a coincidence.
A: And the Sibilant Fricative thingy?
R: Again: it's a collection of essays and reviews written over a five year period (indeed a couple of the pieces are even older than that). The labour was in pulling them together, and in that task I was aided by the mighty Ian Whates.
A: Two novels though!
R: That's a little anomalous. I don't usually publish two novels in one year! What happened is that Twenty Trillion was originally slated to appear in late 2013, but got bumped back (in the event I didn't publish a novel in 2013). Bête is the novel I'm conscious of having been writing 2013-14, and it was trickier to write than most of my fiction. Chris Priest called it 'sluttishly freeform', which (I confess) rather pleased me, in part because it means I was able to bury what might otherwise have been too procrustean a substructure (to do with riddles, Sophocles, St John, Mythago Wood, Ted Hughes and a couple of other things).
A: So will there be two novels from you in 2015?
R: As if.
A: And the Get Started In?
R: That was a commission. Being a professional writer means taking commissions seriously (provided only that they are serious commissions; as this was), and therefore finding the time to write them, to spec and as well as you can.
A: So!
R: So.
"Eternal Treblinka of the Spotless Soul: Bête by Adam Roberts"
By Adam Roberts | October 1, 2014
Categories: Reviews
That most excellent critic Niall Alexander has reviewed Bête (in slightly spoilery mode) over at Tor.com. Snip: "This, then, is not some novelty novel, but a fully-fledged philosophical fable for our age. Affectionate albeit barbed, far-fetched yet oddly plausible, and dark, but not without a certain spark, Bête is as smart and as satisfying and as challenging as anything any of the Adam Robertses have written."
'Books And Such' reviews Bête
By Adam Roberts | October 1, 2014
Categories: Reviews
"When I started reading this I suspected that the novelty of talking animals would be the basis of the whole book and there would be little substance thereafter but I was completely wrong. Bête is a fantastic work of fiction that is funny, insightful and more importantly…important! Focusing on real life issues that we face today, this is a work of genius that I thoroughly enjoyed.'

Starburst review Bête
By Adam Roberts | September 18, 2014
Categories: Reviews
... and it's a doozy. The last three paragraphs:
"Graham, as narrator, is a character we can all identify with, a man who knows his flaws and accepts them as part of who he is. It's a pleasure to read about him and, thanks to the skills of the author, we're immersed in his journey rather than simply being told about it. There are moments of laugh-out-loud hilarity, yet when Graham feels pain, we feel it too; when he hurts, we hurt along with him, to the point of sharing his sadness. Be warned – there may be tears.
As the novel progresses, society inevitably alters and adapts to the new animal intelligences and, while it's all very believable, it's not necessarily in the way the reader would expect. Ultimately, because Bête is about this one man, it's all seen through his eyes; it feels post-apocalyptic at times until being reminded that society, however different, still exists.
The greatest science fiction novels take into account the changes on the people affected by the advances in technology, and Bête ranks with the best of them. What could have been just quirky and satirical – it is both – becomes so much more through intelligent writing that takes the reader through a whole range of emotions. Bête is a wonderful book that, once begun, insists on being read in one sitting; darkly comic, it's a deeply thoughtful, moving and uplifting story from a master of the genre."
SFX reviews Bête
By Adam Roberts | September 17, 2014
Categories: Reviews
Jon Courtenay Grimwood: four and a half stars. I'm delighted; Jon is one of the most astute critics (quite apart from being one of the best writers) of his generation. Over on twitter he said: "pretty sure I said where Professor Roberts and Adam Roberts meet. Certainly meant it." My cup runneth over.
The first review of Bête is in.
By Adam Roberts | September 13, 2014
Categories: Book News, Reviews
It's always a slightly nerve-wracking time, immediately before and immediately after a novel comes out. Reviews are posted. And must be read. Inevitably, every time you read a new review your heart glollops a bit with fear (after all: maybe this one will be the one that utterly cremates your writing and crushes your butterfly-fluttering soul). Luckily for me, this The List notice of Bête (the first review of the book I've seen) is not too negative:
Imagine if your food could talk back to you? That's the extremely high-concept opener much-decorated sci-fi author and academic Adam Roberts plays with in his latest novel, opening on a bizarre but starkly amusing sequence in which a cow tries to reason with the farmer who's about to fire a bolt into its head. By page three he's already quoting The Smiths' 'Meat is Murder' to him, and the farmer's almost spurred to fire just for that.
The conceit in this instance is that many of the world's animals have been 'chipped' in order to allow them to speak as normal humans do. Roberts' prose is intricate and rich in scientific language and explanation, but it's also dryly funny and on-the-nose when it wants to be, making this book about so much more than a quirky sci-fi concept. Like the best speculative work it unpeels greater themes, from the morality of AI to humanity's relationship with its food sources, and also what the very act of possessing language and expression does to our minds.
Ten books
By Adam Roberts | September 8, 2014
Categories: Chitchat
This meme was circulating on Facebook, and I succumbed: ten books that have 'stayed with me', or had a particularly shaping influence upon me. I'm copying my answers across to here too. The strange thing was, almost as soon as I posted this list to FB I felt (as I noted in the comments, there) 'more than a little nervous, actually. Posting this feels -- weirdly exposing. Like I've given away the key to my soul. Perhaps I should delete it.' Of course, this unease was a sort of optical illusion. Nobody else cares enough about my choice of books for said choice to leave me, in any way, vulnerable. That was the feeling, though. Odd, no?
So! 10 books that had a properly shaping influence upon me. Since this is about forming me and my taste the list is going to skew adolescent, and accordingly more than a little gauche. Nothing to be ashamed of, that, in and of itself; although it's a bit worrying how male my key texts all used to be. Anyway: here we go.
1. Maurice Sendak, Where the Wild Things Are. One of my holy books.
2. Tintin. I'd tag the whole of Hergé's output if I were allowed (and who's to say I'm not allowed? You? YOU'RE not the boss of me.) But if I'm not allowed, I'd settle for the two moon mission books. I havered between choosing this and choosing the two Lewis Carroll Alice books, which, in some sense, occupy a similar picture/text place in my imagination's storeroom.
3. The Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings. One novel, you know.
4. Tennyson's 1832 Poems -- this began with falling deeply for 'Mariana', mediated through a profound reaction to Millais painting of the same name; but it lead quickly through into all his other early lyrics. The Lotos Eaters! Ah, The Lotos Eaters.
5. Macbeth. [MACBETH? Argh! Hot-potato-orchestra-stalls-Puck-will-make-amends. *tweaks nose*] This was my O-level Shakespeare; the tomorrow-and-tomorrow speech still has the power to lift the tiny hairs at the back of my neck. Not my favourite Shakespeare any more, but the most shaping and influential of his plays on my *coughs* development.
6. Robert Graves The White Goddess.
7. Nabokov, Pnin. "Lolita" is probably a better novel, and Pale Fire certainly a cleverer one, but Pnin is the most moving, as well as the funniest. It also contained some of Nabokov's best prose. It's also short. I read my Dad's old penguin copy. If I weren't allowed Pnin I'd choose "Signs and Symbols", my single favourite ever short story.
8. Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London. I was a suburban middle-class kid, and material deprivation was a purely notional matter in my life. This book made poverty real to me, imaginatively, and changed the way I saw the world. I could fold Nineteen Eighty-Four in here, too.
9. Dickens. I'm tempted to mention either Little Dorrit or Our Mutual Friend, as they are now my two favourite Dickenses. Dickensseses. But the fact is, it was reading Dombey and Son, and more particularly the chapters detailing little Paul's decline and death, that first took the top of my head off. I remember reading it mouth open at the sheer skill of the writing.
10. Roald Dahl, "A Piece of Cake". This is a tricky one, really: I read Dahl's kid's writing, of course; everyone read it when I was growing up. It was almost compulsory. And there was a TV series made of his adult 'tales of the unexpected' short stories, which was also pretty popular. But this one short story was in a different category: a brief, autobiographical piece about him flying a Gloster Gladiator over the desert, crashing it and waking up in hospital with his burns all bandaged. I remember reading it as an early teenager, for no real reason, just because I chanced upon the paperback. It had the most profound effect upon me. I'm not sure I could diagnose why, or how: it's not a twist-in-the-tale piece, or a sample of his grotesque monstrous inventiveness. Indeed, it's rather oblique. Nor was I particularly interested in world war 2, or the RAF, or flying or anything like that. But the plain fact is: before I read it I had no ambitions to be a writer (I wanted, in point of fact, to make animated cartoons). Then I read it. And after I had read it I wanted to be a writer. Simple as that. Perhaps it had to do with its obliqueness, or its queer reticent potency: it struck me very forceably at a very deep level and I couldn't see how it had done so. At any rate, something vast shifted about inside me as with the motion of great waters, and I wanted to be a writer. Which is, now, what I am.
No science fiction? I know! And I read SF obsessively as a teenager (as I still do). Le Guin would be the eleventh title: The Dispossessed most likely. Though I also loved Earthsea.

News for August, or 'Who Hath Not Seen Thee Oft Amid Thy Online Store?'
By Adam Roberts | August 29, 2014
Categories: Blogging
In the parching August wind cornfields bow the head, sheltered in round valley depths on low hills outspread, and I have been moderately busy. I went on holiday, came back, spent time at Loncon, came back from that. Here's a round-up post of news.
1: is that I have finally rolled up the scroll named 'Punkadiddle'. As you'll see at the end of that link, the best of the old blog is now printed up in a book, £3:42 from amazon online store as e-book, so: you know. Buy! Buy! Buy!
2. I have agreed to act as a judge for next year's Kitschies, which (a) means my own novels are guaranteed NO place on the shortlist, hurrah! (or, wait ... boo?) and (b) a Niagara of books has begun flowing through my front door. The good news is that I get to swap aesthetic judgment with the rest of the panel, all of whom are considerably cooler than I: Kate Griffin, Kim Curran, Frances Hardinge and Glen Mehn. The downside is: it's a lot of reading. There's another downside, which I'm thinking of converting into an upside. You know what they say: when life gives you lemons and industrial quantities of sugar -- make lemonade. Often, after I read a book, I'll write (and blog) a quick review, Writing out my thoughts makes those thoughts clear in my head. Writing, I fear, comes more naturally to me than thinking. So I figured: what if I reviewed every title? Last year I believe the K.s had more than 300 submissions, so I'd be committing myself to a peck of work. But I could turn into a project. Like Magnetic Fields writing and releasing 69 Love Songs. I could do 369 Love Songs: SFF Novels Editions. What do you reckon?
If I review 369 titles at, say, 500 words per review (which if I'm honest is the shorter end of my horribly prolix reviewing habit), we'd be looking at 185,000 words. That would make an interesting e-book: The Complete Science Fiction and Fantasy Output of 2014 Reviewed! (I don't doubt there are many more than 369 SFF titles released in any one year; but it would be a broader sample than the usual review collection manages, and might be interesting to do). At any rate I've made a start: check out the August entries over on the SibFric blog. This may putter out, or gather prodigious steam. I'm honestly not sure.
3. At Loncon Ian Whates launched a book with a story by me (and stories by others, more noteworthy than I) in it: mine being 'Baedecker's Fermi' in Paradox: Stories of the Fermi Paradox ...
He also launched Sibilant Fricative: the Book. As I mentioned above: Buy! Buy! Buy!
4. Another thing I did this summer was write a 'How to Write Science Fiction and Fantasy' book, for the people who used to publish the 'Teach Yourself' franchise, but who have now rebranded them as 'Get Started In'. The proofs for said book came in this week.
5. I also wrote something long-ish for Jared Shurin that may appear as a book-length publication at some later point. I'm quite proud of it actually, but pride is a sin, and I don't want to compound my sinfulness by dilating on the matter here.
Sibilant Fricative
By Adam Roberts | July 6, 2014
Categories: Book News
Newcon Press are publishing this collection of SF/Fantasy related essays and reviews, with a preface by BSFA Award-winning critic Paul Kincaid, in August (I believe the launch is at Loncon): Newcon supremo Ian Whates facebooked the above photo to show that actual copies are now in existence. Exciting stuff!
I set up the like-named Sibilant Fricative blog in large part to flog, er to 'promote' the book; and so I shall. The blog has accumulated a variety of other things upon it (none of which are in included in the Sibilant Fricative book, confusingly); but don't let that distract you. I intend to flog, er, promote this title within an inch of its life.

It's been quiet around here for a little while. Awards seasons has been in full spate and *sigh* it's been an awards season without room for anything I published in 2013, so there's been nothing to report. But just when I thought it was going to pass me by entirely came the rather wonderful news that my short story 'Tollund' has been shortlisted for the 2014 Sidewise Awards. The Sidewise, as you know very well, is dedicated to alternate-history, and this year's shortlists look very strong. I'm delighted to be in such company. Winners will be announced at Loncon.
'Tollund' was written for Jared Shurin's excellent collection of original Mummy fiction, The Book of the Dead. That link will take you to purchasing opportunities, of which you should definitely avail yourself. My story's title, of course, makes reference to the single Seamus Heaney released with Madness back in the 1980s:
"Some day I will go to Aarhus
In the middle of our street
In the middle of our street,
To see his peat-brown head."
Such a great poem.

The Brick Moon/Another Brick in the Moon
By Adam Roberts | April 13, 2014
Categories: Book News
Lovely cover, there, from Gary Northfield. The book itself is coming soon:
Jurassic London is delighted to announce The Brick Moon, a new edition of the classic tale from Edward Everett Hale.
Hale's prophetic novel, first published in 1869, is the first to imagine the launch of an artificial satellite – making it the perfect fictional pairing with Stars to Satellites and Longitude Punk'd, two new exhibitions at the Royal Observatory Greenwich.
The new edition comes complete with "Another Brick in the Moon", a sequel to Hale's original tale, penned by award-winning science fiction author Adam Roberts.
"The Brick Moon is a fascinating tale that touches on themes of immediate relevance to the Royal Observatory and its history: the quest for longitude, the Greenwich Meridian and satellite technology. And Adam Roberts' short-story response, 'Another Brick in the Moon', has recast the tale in his characteristically beguiling way," commented Richard Dunn.
The book is decorated by Greenwich artist, Gary Northfield, who selected – and re-imagined - a classic view of the Royal Observatory from the archives of the National Maritime Museum.
The Royal Observatory's Stars to Satellites exhibition tells the story of satellite navigation technology, from the origins of the idea in Hale's story to today's GPS systems and smartphone apps. Meanwhile, Longitude Punk'd takes the historic story of the quest to determine longitude at sea and retells it in a playful fashion through the prism of the Steampunk movement.
Nine prominent Steampunk artists and writers have filled the Royal Observatory's historic Flamsteed House with fantastical drawings, objects and costumes that evoke a science-fiction version of the 18th 19th-centuries, reflecting the retro aesthetic of The Brick Moon.
Naturally enough, my sequel involves a big climactic scene at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. Pleasingly, I got feedback from the RMG people tweaking the practicalities of this, and was able to incorporate their comments. In all, writing this one was a blast.

The Trei website has just posted this rather handsome cover-art snap of their upcoming (or, wait: is it out now?) brand new Romanian translation of Jack Glass. Exciting!
And the blurb! "Într-un viitor, în care deplasările prin sistemul solar sunt controlate de o oligarhie nemiloasă, Jack-din-Sticlă este căutat pentru activităţi teroriste. Jack crede că supravieţuirea lui este vitală pentru supravieţuirea speciei şi de aceea trebuie să comită mai multe crime… Cele trei părţi ale cărţii sunt tot atâtea intrigi SF poliţiste, străbătute de un fir comun. Prima se petrece într-o închisoare spaţială sumbră şi abundă în accente de disperare şi horror. Este practic o introducere pentru partea a doua, care utilizează tema cyberpunk clasică a războiului dintre corporaţii supranaţionale."
Help me, Google translate!
"In a future where traveling through the solar system are controlled by a ruthless oligarchy, Jack-in-Bottle is wanted for terrorist activities. Jack believed that his survival is vital for survival of the species and therefore have to commit more crimes ... The three parts of the book are all detective fiction intrigue, crossed by a common thread. The first takes place in a grim prison space abounds in accents of despair and horror. It's basically an introduction to the second part, using classic cyberpunk theme of war between supranational corporations."
That's even better than the story I actually wrote! Hurrah!

Black Sheep are, what can I say? Artist-designers of genius, that's what they are. Here's Bête:
Simon, my editor, talks a little bit about how he commissioned this gorgeous cover on the Gollancz blog today. He also notes that the novel itself includes a talking cat. It's true. However felinophobic I may, myself, be, I figured it was time. And, you know: Sabrina the Teenage Witch features a talking cat. Bulgakov features a talking cat. Considering the kind of writer I am, you can probably guess whereabouts on the scale strung between those two felines my own talking cat comes. Besides, there's a lot more than just a cat. For example, the novel starts, as does the Quran itself, with a cow.

Fortunately I applied for the second season as my second choice as I usually apply for the 3rd but was told they did not even give any second choice there this year. I was afraid I would not gat anything for the first time in my life but it's all good now with this tag and my area 10 bull tag both to be followed up with another trip to Texas for hogs and whitetail.
Still waiting for Wyoming and New Mexico antelope to come out as my last chance for another state this year. Wyoming should be a gimme but New mexico will be tough and would be something totally new for us.

Danny Williams To Face Francois Botha, 5/1 in Dubai
By James Goyder
Two veteran heavyweights will headline the second installment of Thursday Night Fights in the United Arab Emirates when Danny Williams and Francois Botha meet on May 1st. It is a matchup which was supposed to take place in Egypt six years ago only for the Englishman to get knocked out in a tune up bout.
Williams (45-21) is best known for his 2004 KO of Mike Tyson but has struggled in recent years with just one win in his last 11 fights. Botha (48-11) will also be looking to turn around a six fight losing streak and recapture the form which once made him one of the biggest names in the heavyweight division.
Botha's greatest achievement was winning the WBF heavyweight title, he was stripped of his IBF belt due to a failed drug test but the 45 year old has shared a ring with the likes of Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko and Evander Holyfield as well as Tyson in his 17 year career.
Williams is five years the junior of the South African and will have fond memories of Dubai having registered his most recent win there last December. The bout is set for ten rounds and will have the WPBF Inter-Continental heavyweight title on the line.
Also on the card, which is set for the Emirate Golf Club in Dubai, is a welterweight bout between French fighter Nordine Arik (11-2) and Brazilian Antonio Mesquita (35-3). The former will be putting his six fight winning streak on the line against an opponent who has previously held the Brazilian 140 lbs title and WBO Latino 140 lbs strap.
lmao Botha still fighting?!? it's true you learn something new everyday :lol1:Comment by Weltschmerz on 03-19-2014

Pokémon White
When Pokémon White arrived in my mail I was extremely enthousiastic. Finally after four years a new version has arrived! I admit, I love Pokemon! Everyone probably has something of a kid inside him/herself and this is it with me. We've arrived at the fifth generation of Pokémon and the first two parts are, as […]

"A quiet but memorable addition to the inspirational field, this book has the quality of a finely worked homily. The writing displays a gentle wisdom and economy of style that leaves the reader curious for more insight into the author's Quaker philosophy." - (Publishers Weekly)
"Deep Wisdom in these pages"
I've now listened three times. I've learned a remarkable lot about myself in relation to my job and who I am. This is a great book filled with deep insights. If you are dissatisfied about your job and perhaps complaining about the shortcomings of your employer, this book may open up a whole new dimension to what is going on in you. It is one of the most profound spiritual teachings that I have ever had the good fortune to experience. I'm journaling about what I've learned about myself. Palmer guides us to be honest about ourselves in order that we may begin to find freedom from our boogie-men. The narator is great too.
"A great read/listen!"
Yes, this is a solid book for examining the way we live and make life's decisions.
His chapter and perspectives on depression were unique and very insightful.
This guy's amazing. He makes you visualize punctuation!
I'm not an extreme person. :/
This book makes you think about your life and it's direction in a wonderful way.
"Should Be Required Reading. For Humans."
Parker Palmer sheds light onto the shadow in us all which gets a very bad rap in these times. The linking of vocation and self and how it's essential to becoming our true self is quite poetic. Excellent read.
"Great take on a purposeful life"
His Quaker beliefs infuse this book, so may be a barrier to the committed atheist. However, an interesting approach to purpose.
"More depressing than inspiring..."
Perhaps because of the tone of the narrator I did not find this story about finding one's vocation especially compelling or helpful.
"Good for young people, not for mid-life or beyond"
I was encouraged by some positive reviews and thought it might be interesting to find out what I *really* should be doing after being in the same career for the last 30 years.... This book is more for younger folks just starting out on a career path. If you're later in life, you've heard all this (IMHO) and you might as well learn to make the best of what you have and build on the parts of your current vocation like best.
"uplifting insights"
A pleasant listen and content was inspiring. I recommend this book for anyone seeking a fulfilling vocation, a rewarding experience with work and life.
"Excellent for Those Struggling with Vocation Choice"
Profound thoughts are shared by this writer. You will be writing notes to ensure you capture some of his "one liners". It is very difficult to find a book of this caliber that speaks to you and guides you through darkness into the light of finding your calling. This will be a book you will be listening to portions of again and again. Many thanks to the author and to the speaker (Bill Hybels) that recommended this book.
"Written for me"
I was "re-reading" this book, having first done so in my thirties, 15 years ago. It resonates far deeper now with the twists, turns, cul-de-sacs and blown gaskets of life since. In fact, I would venture to say that it won't hold much meaning for those nearer the start of their adult vocations than those of us mid-stream, changing horses. Stefan Rudnicki is a fantastic reader *except* not for a first-person essay of an older WASP. His deep voice, meaningful inflections and slight accent would be ideal for most novels, from thrillers to Tolstoy. It's a bit jarring to hear the words of a middle-aged Quaker read in his voice, however.

Moon Beats
During this full moon, take the family out for a little hippie moon worship. The Hollywood Drum Circle has been gathering for 18 months to drum into the evening. All ages and levels are invited to bring a percussion instrument and participate. The group, along with facilitators and trained percussionists, meets every full moon in ArtsPark to learn about beats, drums, and the culture that goes with them. Resurrection Drums' Jeff Lee leads a new discussion each full moon. Last month, more than 300 drummers celebrated the supermoon. They learned about timbale drums and Cuban rhythms created with them. Lee begins by getting the kids in attendance on a rhythm and then brings in the adults to complement them. Drums are provided for children, but adults should bring their own percussion instruments. Drumming isn't required, but hand drums with both high and low sounds can be purchased at Resurrection Drums, sponsor of the drum circle, for $29 and up. The drum circle is free and meets this Tuesday from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Palm Court, on the west side of Young Circle in ArtsPark, at 1 Young Circle in Hollywood. Visit visithollywoodfl.org.

Niall Ferguson: Yes, Wall Street Helps the PoorRoundup: Historians' Take
Niall Ferguson is a professor of history at Harvard University and a professor of business administration at Harvard Business School. He is also a senior research fellow at Jesus College, Oxford University, and a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. His Latest book, Civilization: The West and the Rest, will be published in November.
It was a scene to curdle liberal blood. A ballroom full of New York hedge-fund managers playing poker ... to raise money for charter schools.
That's where I found myself last Wednesday: at a Texas Hold 'Em tournament to raise money for the Success Charter Network, which currently runs nine schools in some of New York's poorest neighborhoods.
While Naomi Wolf was being arrested for showing solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement, there I was, consorting with the 1 percent the protesters hate. It's no surprise that the bread-heads enjoy gambling. But to see them using their ill-gotten gains to subvert this nation's great system of public education! I was shocked, shocked.
Except that I wasn't. I was hugely cheered up. America's financial elite needs a compelling answer to Occupy Wall Street. This could be it: educate Harlem ... with our poker chips.
Life, after all, is a lot like poker. No matter how innately smart you may be, it's very hard to win if you are dealt a bad hand....

Or the Nasdaq. How much down then?
The stock would have been $25+ on the Russell 2000 news if the insider selling had stopped their heavy selling, but they continued right on into June and into last week. There's no way of knowing why the stock had massive total volume Friday(840,000 shares on Friday compared to their average of just 48,000). Possibly some fund managers were buying as some large investors were selling or maybe there's some bad news that the general public doesn't know yet.

Historical Traveler Reviews Destinations Inn Idaho Falls
Wonderful Weekend
We experienced a relaxing and romantic one night stay at Destinations Inn. The service was great and ourhe room (we stayed in the Congo) was amazing. We would definately like to stay there again
Destination Inn is Great!
We had a delightful stay at Destination Inn. What a great way to celebrate an annervisary! The room--Rome-- was clean, well lit (when you wanted it to be), the atmosphere of the room and the Inn is very inviting. The staff is helpful. The continental breakfast brought to you room, at a time you chose, is a very nice touch. All in all it was a great stay and would recommand it to anyone.
Magnificant. Such elegance and attention to detail. I honestly can not say a bad thing about this above all other place. Everyone needs to have this experience. From the time we arrived until we left we were treated like royalty. Everthing was perfect and look forward to returning soon. I am going to get gift certificates for family and friends.
Great Theme Suite Hotel
This theme suite hotel pleasantly surprised us. We have stayed in several other theme suite hotels that were very high quality and Destinations Inn matched or exceeded that quality. The outside of the building is nice but very decieving because it pales in comparison to the inside. The rooms are well decorated and we loved the projector tv. Highly recommended.
Make it your Destination
I stayed at the Arabia suite. Divine! The Jacuzzi-style tub and in-room sauna were excellent. I loved the decor. Highly recommend.
Our Stay in the Athens Room
Our stay was o.k. - the first problem we had was lack of any place to hang clothing or place a suitcase. The second problem we had was the Train Horn off an on all night. If I had known there was a train that ran every few hours during the night I would NOT have booked a room. I will say this: The Room Was GORGEOUS!! We enjoyed the finely decorated room and the paint was incredible!! It would have been helpful to know that this room does NOT have a shower - only a hand held shower sprayer on the bath tub faucet. The breakfast was nice and we enjoyed the sparkling cider left in our room as well as the cheese cake for our enjoyment. Thanks.
Great Place
Great accomodations. Great service.
Beautiful rooms but have seen better service...
This was my second time at Destinations, last October in Morocco and this year in the Congo. The steam shower was so relaxing and the tub- to die for! The pebble flooring was a bit hard on the feet in the middle of the night and the projector wasn't working. When we called the front desk for assistance at around midnight we were told to push the little button that says Power or maybe unplug the machine and start over.
"If that doesn't work" she said "I don't know what to tell you."
I replied, "Oh okay"
"Well, I don't know what to tell you-sorry."
For a couple hundred dollars a night, you think they'd train their staff to say something??? It was still a nice stay- better rooms than say the Anniversary Inn in Boise and better pricing. All in all, I hope to return to visit the other suites at some point and the breakfast was very good.
Romantic getaway at the Destinations Inn
I had heard many great things about Destinations Inn, so for my husband's birthday I booked a room. What a wonderful surprise! We were wrapped in luxury and beauty! We had the most enjoyable time from the cheesecake left for us in the fridge, the sparkling cider left chilling in the ice bucket, the wonderful breakfast left right at our door the next morning, to the champagne jetted tub and the romantic atmosphere. We highly recommend this wonderful establishment and it's friendly and helpful staff.
Amazing attention to detail!
Destinations Inn was fantastic. We were allowed to tour all the rooms when we arrived and they were so beautifully done from the Eiffel Tower shower in the Paris room, the gondola bathtub in the Venice room to the "stream" you walk across in the Thailand room. The staff were very helpful and friendly but gave us our privacy. Breakfast was delicious and delivered to our door. We will definitely return as it was such a lovely night. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Milwaukee is sort of a second home for the New York-based stand-up comic, not simply because of his family connections or because he's played annual year-end shows at the Pabst Theater since 2007. His style of stand-up - clean, soft-spoken, often deadpan, obsessive about food - seems tailor-made for Midwestern sensibilities. »Read Full Article(2)

Darren Sharper was one of the best safeties in the NFL during the New Orleans Saints' 2009 Super Bowl-winning season.
An interception machine, Sharper picked off a league-high nine passes to bring his career total to a shining 63. Out of those nine picks, Sharper returned three of them for touchdowns, also the NFL lead. That is what I call a game-changer.
In 2010, however, the Saints benched Sharper following his return from offseason knee surgery. After selecting Malcolm Jenkins with the 14th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Saints thought he was ready to take over the starting job that Sharper had executed so brilliantly just a year before.
By no means am I saying that Jenkins was a bust. In fact, Jenkins was one of the best players on the Saints defense in 2010. However, there was not a chance that Jenkins brought to the table the same amount of play-making abilities that Sharper brought. You had to game-plan for Darren Sharper, Jenkins was a different story.
So in 2010, Sharper sat on the bench.
Now a free agent, the 35-year-old is still looking for a job. In one of the busiest free agency periods in NFL history, this talented safety is being left out, even by the team he helped earn a Super Bowl title just two seasons ago.
Here is the latest via ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas:
[Roman] Harper's return also could signal the end of Darren Sharper's time in New Orleans. Signed in 2009, the veteran Sharper played a big role in the Saints winning the Super Bowl that season. But injuries kept him out of action much of last season and allowed Jenkins to establish himself as a solid starter.
Sharper still could return in a backup role, but he may prefer to go to a team where he has a chance to start.
I understand he is 35, but how is it possible that he is considered a backup right now? He is just two years removed from the most superb season of his career, and from what I can gather, has no lingering affects from his knee-surgery last offseason.
What am I missing?
I'm not sure, but the Arizona Cardinals should be jumping for joy right now. Their defensive leader and star safety, Adrian Wilson, went down with a torn bicep tendon in his right arm and is out for an indefinite period of time.
Looks like a match made in heaven to me.
This is what Jason La Canfora from NFL.com has to say about Sharper's options:
I'm told by a league source that veteran FS Darren Sharper is mulling multiple options on the free-agent market.
The Saints remain interested in Sharper, who engaged in a lengthy conversation with at least one other club, according to the source.
Sharper may have the opportunity to get more playing time elsewhere, but the Saints have a chance to win a Super Bowl and he has a strong relationship with coaches and teammates in New Orleans. Sharper, who joined the Saints as a free agent in 2009, was limited to eight games last season after major offseason knee surgery.
Maybe the Arizona Cardinals are one of those teams, and maybe they aren't.
But from where I am sitting, I don't see any reasons why the Cards don't offer Sharper a job right now. He's talented, experienced, and could bring leadership to a defense that lost its leader.
Like I said, match made in heaven.

Some people wants you to suffer just because they are not happy and some people give their all just to make you smile. This is something which makes difference.
Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine.
— Fran Lebowitz
There are some people you like immediately, some whom you think you might learn to like in the fullness of time, and some that you simply want to push away from you with a sharp stick.

To get the bass part of this song down, I am going to create a new real instrument track by clicking the plus and double-clicking on Real Instrument. I've connected my bass amp's line out directly to my audio interface, as I'd like to record the bass with my own bass sound. If I wanted to, I could plug the bass directly in and use GarageBand's amps simulators and effects to get my sound. But in this case, I'd like to record my bass part straight out of the ashdown. I am all connected and ready to set an input level for recording. I will make sure Monitors is On, so I can hear my bass sound coming through the headphones along with the guitar and drums, and I'll click the check box for Automatic Level Control and let GarageBand set a good level for me.
(music playing) Okay cool, I can click that check box off and my input level sticks. I think I'm ready to go. I'll keep Count-In on, so I have one bar to get ready after hitting record and since I have a solid drum loop and a good rhythm guitar part to play to, I can leave the metronome off. I am going to press Return and make sure I am at the beginning and press R to record.
(music playing) Cool, not bad. Now I've got one decent bass take, but I'd like another, to be able to make some choices later on.
If I just press Return and R again, I'll record a new bass part, yes, but I'll erase the part I just recorded. (music playing) The way to keep that last pass and record a new one and have both parts saved as multiple takes is to turn Cycle Record on. It's the button with the two cycling arrows right next to Metronome. Click it and then you have to set a cycle region in the cycle ruler that appears at the top of the screen under the standard ruler.
Click and drag to fill the space that you'd like to record in with the yellow cycle bar. In this case we want it to record a second bass take throughout the whole song, so I have to click and drag from bar one all the way to the end of my song. Now that I have the Cycle Record button on and a cycle region set to the whole song I'll press Return and R to record from the beginning. (music playing) Okay, now notice that there is a small yellow 2 in the upper left of that bass region.
It also says 2 takes. If you click and hold on the 2, you'll see a menu allowing you to choose which take you'd like to make the active take. You can change this at any time, and in a later movie we'll go over how to switch from one active take to another at different points throughout the song.

In the Restroom at the Walter Reade Theater
June 16, 2016 | by Naomi Fry
In Brushes with Greatness, Naomi Fry writes about her relatively marginal encounters with celebrities.
In 2014, the magazine In Touch broke what is still, to my mind, one of our era's most quintessential gossip stories. The weekly claimed that Lindsay Lohan was holding court at the Beverly Hills Hotel and, in an apparent attempt to impress her retinue, wrote out the names of three dozen of her sexual conquests—most of them A-list Hollywood celebrities such as Justin Timberlake, Colin Farrell, and Zac Efron—then tossed the list aside. A mistake, obviously, since that was likely when one of the entourage pounced, retrieving the sheet and eventually getting it into the hands of an In Touch staffer. The magazine reproduced the list in Lohan's all-caps, American-middle-school-girl handwriting. Read More »
Taxicab Confessions

I took a taxi to an appointment lately and the driver was very talkative. I learned all about his life, his early baseball prospects, his divorce, his daughter, his newborn grandson. He hoped to teach the child to play baseball, which got us on the subject of baseball. He was a Yankee fan, and especially loved Alex Rodriguez. Read More »
Birthday Girl

Why lie? I first picked up Colleen Moore's 1968 autobiography, Silent Star, because I wanted to read about the dollhouse. Yes, Moore is a pivotal figure in early Hollywood. Yes, Flaming Youth is considered one of the defining pieces of flapper culture. But it was the dollhouse that grabbed me.
The Colleen Moore dollhouse is indeed something to see, and plenty of people do: since 1949 the Fairy Castle has been on display at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, where once can marvel at the perfection of the elaborate interiors, the world's tiniest Bible, and the miniature paintings contributed by Walt Disney. And the memoir does not stint on details about the house's furnishing, its financing, the dozens of Hollywood designers and artist friends Moore tapped to decorate the fairy castle, which as a touring attraction would raise a great deal of money for children's charities. (Necessary to mention for those who want to suggest a grown woman is "arrested" for squandering time and money on such an enterprise—or, indeed, reading about it obsessively.) Read More »

Would it be frivolous to bring a class-action lawsuit against the Emmys? I can't be the only one who slept poorly and, when she did drop off, slid into nightmare. One assumes productivity suffered. Wages and jobs may even have been lost.
It's not just the contrast to the state of the world and the country that rankles. This is the nature of the beast. Opening monologues based on racial tensions and international crises have never been calculated to keep network viewers glued to the screen. It's not merely the crumminess of the writing, which was stale and dull, full of hoary, tone-deaf jokes and bits that would have felt démodé on The Benny Hill Show. Or even the monotony of the awards themselves, which overwhelmingly favored a couple of programs; a rout is never very entertaining.
People looked creepy. I know we all realize this, but it bears repeating. We are as physically grotesque right now as at any time and place in human history. The face-lifts, the fillers, the wasted, sinewy limbs are now the rule, not the exception. We all know why; the fetishization of youth—and its spiritual implications—are recognized by everyone. And yet, our cultural tolerance for true unnaturalness is unbelievably high. This is horrifying, but it is also fascinating. And this has got to be a unique moment: within five years, plastic surgery techniques will have evolved. Makeup artists and chemists will have better adapted to the harshness of HD. In a decade, we'll look back with shock at what we accepted as normal and desirable. Never before, and never again, will things be as bad. Relish it. Read More »
Keep Calm and—Stop It, Just Stop It, and Other News
June 27, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Bernard-Henri Lévy remains, at sixty-five, the paragon of "noble insolence": "Responding to a recent query from a Parisian newspaper about the secret of his perpetual youth, his advice was, 'Don't spend time with boring people.' The unbuttoned white shirt—he tells interviewers that he would choke otherwise—is a form of social provocation that he doubtlessly relishes; it also constitutes a dandyish parlor trick, leading otherwise shrewd judges of character and intellectual talent to underestimate his political acumen and Puritan work habits."
- The "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster that launched millions of profoundly vacuous parodies is seventy-five years old today—but it was only first seen in 2001. The British Treasury refrained from printing it during World War II because they thought "the phrase was 'too commonplace to be inspiring … it may even annoy people.'" Prescient.
- Have novelists exhausted the supply of decent titles? Last year saw two books called Life After Life; this year there's Remember Me This Way and Remember Me Like This; and Stephen King's Joyland came eight years after Erica Schultz's Joyland.
- Celebrity novels, reviewed: Chuck Norris's The Justice Riders "wraps up with Justice sharing the gospel with Mordecai, then shooting him dead after the bad guy rejects Jesus—which is sort of Norris's worldview in a nutshell."
- To catch a (phone) thief: "You'd NEVER send a message with the incorrect 'your'—no matter how plastered you are!"

When I picked up Shusterman's Bruiser, I expected to read a book about an angry kid who taunts and punches away his insecurities. While this book does deal with bullies, Brewster, the character of the title, is almost the opposite of a bully and a bit magical to boot. A hulking and shabbily dressed 16-year-old, Brewster is an outsider who people vote to be the Most Likely to Go to Jail, and generally treat as if he's not there. Which suits him fine, even if he's never stepped on an ant, because he takes on the physical and emotional pain of anyone he gets close to.
In the fall of 2011, Monroe County Public Library asked the students of Rachel Bahr's English and American Studies classes at New Tech High School to consider the "Great American Author." We were interested in getting teens' opinions about what criteria an author has to meet to be included on this rather arbitrary list, whether some authors considered great Americans have aged ungracefully or are no longer relevant, and who should be considered "great" that is not already.
While suffering withdrawal pangs from Downton Abbey last week, I came upon Alexandra Potter's light but literate Me and Mr. Darcy. Like Downton Abbey it offers fancy English estates, afternoon tea on fine china, cool British accents, and couples in love.
You can tell that Alexandra Potter, a Brit, writing about an American heroine, has spent a lot of time in the States. Her bio notes that she travels often to New York and L.A. She has the American idiom down and captures Yankee humor well.
The book starts out with Emily (a New York bookstore manager) out on a date with a cheap guy who is calculating how much extra she owes for the pizza that they just shared. (She added toppings for her half.) Unfortunately, Emily has a track record of being unlucky in love. Her fashionable friend, Stella, who also works at the bookstore, invites her on a winter beach vacation with the hope of meeting new men. Emily refuses. Glancing at a flyer on the counter, Emily has a ready excuse--she can't because she's going on a one week "Jane Austen Tour."
Impulsively, Emily snags the last spot for the event and joins a coterie of much older ladies on the bus tour. The only two men are the aged driver and a rather obnoxious, poorly dressed reporter who will be covering the event.
Potter has a good ear for snappy dialogue. Spike, the reporter, and Emily don't click at all. In fact, Emily really
Microhistories are a subgenre of non-fiction books which take a particular subject or single event and through intensive historical research try to contextualize the chosen subject within the broader picture. Both Simon Winchester and Mark Kurlansky are well known microhistorians. Kurlansky in particular is known for Salt: A World History, 1968: The Year That Rocked the World, and The Big Oyster: History on the Half Shell. As a history nerd, I find that a well written microhistory uncovers a previously unthought-of subject or event and breathes life into the history cannon as a whole. Curious? Check out titles like Aspirin: The Remarkable Story of a Wonder Drug, Just My Type: A Book About Fonts, or Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. Several years ago I read and enjoyed a microhistory called Banana: The Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World by Dan Koeppel.
OK. I confess. This book sat for most of its check-out period on my night table. I had read Didion's excellent book The Year of Magical Thinking but I knew that this new memoir covered another territory of loss--not that of her husband, John Gregory Dunne, but of her daughter who had the wonderful name of Quintana Roo (a state in Mexico.)
And yes, Blue Nights is sad. As would be any book about losing your only child. But it's also amazingly human, full of insights and many questions, some of which go unanswered.
First the title. It comes from those late June, early July nights where twilight seems to linger for hours until darkness finally comes. The light is soft; the world is warm and alive. Didion speaks of them as occurring only in the north, not far south in LA where she spent much of her life as a screenwriter, essayist, and novelist and where Quintana grew up. No, the blue lights happen in New York City where Didion now lives now and where Quintana died young at the age of thirty-nine from a massive infection. To make matters even more tragic, she first got ill only five months after her wedding.
The book covers other things as well adoption, meeting with biological family for the first time as an adult, parenting, the failures of parenting, and, in particular, aging. Didion writes with brutal honesty especially about this last topic.
My question of the week - Do women read war novels? I don't mean to ask this in a polarizing and dramatic way, but out of genuine interest.
I recently finished the excellent Matterhorn by Karl Marlantes, a novelization about the Vietnam War. Marlantes is a highly decorated Marine who served in Vietnam and this 600 page book was 30 years in the making. The book is technical and almost solely set in Vietnam. There isn't room for families, girlfriends, or real life. This book is intense - filled with racial tensions, horrifying wounds, tigers, leeches, jungle rot, thirst, hunger, diarrhea, boredom, bad language and inept military structure. I probably lost some of the technicalities of the military maneuvers, but in the end you really care about the characters. At times, reading this was stressful but the pain and longing seems universal and touching.
Last night the National Book Critics Circle awards were presented to the best books published in English. They are the only awards chosen only by book critics. The National Book Critics Circle "honors outstanding writing and fosters a national conversation about reading, criticism and literature". Great mission! We like fostering conversations about reading too!
The winners include:
Alexandra Fuller writes beautifully about Africa. This is her second memoir set there. Both Cocktail Hour under the Tree of Forgetfulness and Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight also give homage to her parents, particularly her mother, Nicola, or Nicola of Central Africa, as her mom playfully nicknamed herself.
Nicola loves books and reading and wanted her first daughter to become a writer but Vanessa held firm about spurning books and taking up art. So Alexandra became the writer in the family, but not one that her mother could not control. For Nicola, Alexandra's career as a writer is a mixed blessing. She constantly calls her daughter's first memoir that "awful book" probably because Alexandra tells the truth in it about her Mom's drinking.
This short novel describes a teen's experience not fitting in at school. What makes Me and You different is that it's set in Rome, so you get a feel for the modern Italian family. Lorenzo has trouble making friends. Observing other kids at school closely, he sees what they do to fit in--what clothes they wear, how they talk, where they hang out, etc. and he tries to blend in but pretending to be someone he's not goes against his basic being. Nobody hangs out with him at school; he has no friends. But it's driving his overly-doting Mom crazy.
So one day he informs her that he has been invited on a ski week with several of his most popular classmates. It's a bold-faced lie to make her happy and to get her to leave him alone. But then he must improvise a place to stay as well as provide chirruping conversation on his cell to convince his mom that he has gone to Cortina and is having a grand time.He sneaks back into the basement of their house where the former owner's furniture is stored. Apparently, his father bought the house on a reverse mortgage plan, and even though the woman has died, they have never gotten rid of her belongings. Lorenzo has set up a cot and stored enough food and sodas for the week. Also, carefully gathered are piles of books.

Illustrated companion
The early version tells more of the story: King Cophetua is an African prince who disdains women. One day, however, looking out of his palace window he sees among the beggars at the gate a maid so beautiful that he is instantly struck with love and has her brought into the palace. Tennyson then takes up the tale:
Her arms across her breast she laid;
She was more fair than words can say:
Bare-footed came the beggar maid
Before the King Cophetua.
In robe and crown the king stept down,
To meet and greet her on her way;
'It is no wonder,' said the lords,
'She is more beautiful than day.'
Cophetua swears to make her his Queen and in spite of the horror of his courtiers at the idea of him marrying a commoner, he does so.
The picture was exhibited in London and Paris to great acclaim. Its success was partly due to it being seen as an illustration of the moral idea of the triumph of beauty and spiritual values, represented by the maid, over material wealth and power. In the painting King Cophetua is seated below the beggar maid and has removed his jewelled crown. The egalitarian idea of a king marrying a beggar has also been seen as connected with the socialism that Burne-Jones's close friend William Morris was espousing at this time.

RoadKill drops players into instantaneous battle with 30 core missions and numerous side missions. The missions place the player into the three cities of Hell County — Lava Falls, Blister Canyon and Paradise City. RoadKill's dynamic reputation system determines how the world reacts to the way players perform missions, kill and maim citizens, destroy enemy vehicles and build alliances with the gangs of Hell County. In the game, players collect salvaged parts — which upgrade the 30 vehicles with items such nitrous thrust and armor plating — to unlock secret features and help explore the world in a search for hidden blueprints. In addition, players drive to survive with a radio system that provides alerts about bounties, mission tips and music while they run down, impale, shoot and splatter both innocent and armed civilians

HBO's Lampley Thinks Nonito Donaire Will Top Rigondeaux
by David P. Greisman
Jim Lampley will be ringside at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on April 13 to call the unification bout between 122-pound titleholders Nonito Donaire and Guillermo Rigondeaux.
It is a fight that HBO's highly respected blow-by-blow announcer feels will end with Donaire as the victor.
"I have to go with Donaire: greater experience and flexibility," Lampley said Tuesday afternoon during a chat hosted on HBO.com. "There's a tremendous challenge to Donaire in this fight. They're both classic counter punchers, and neither really wants to take the lead.
"The person who is selling tickets, and whose reputation is on the line is Donaire. So, Donaire will have to lead," Lampley said. "He has no choice other than to vary his natural style. Rigondeaux will be willing to stand back and wait for Donaire to lead. That's a big risk, but I think Donaire is good enough to manage that risk and win the fight."
Donaire, 30, moved up to junior featherweight last year, winning four bouts in that division in the span of 10 and a half months, picking up two world titles (and vacating one), earning recognition as the No. 1 fighter at 122 pounds and winning the "Fighter of the Year" award from the Boxing Writers Association of America.
He is now 31-1 with 20 knockouts, but he faces in Rigondeaux an acclaimed amateur who won gold medals in the 2000 and 2004 Olympics. The 32-year-old Cuban is undefeated through 11 fights as a pro, has knocked out eight of his foes, and also holds a world title.

View student work by art students at Emmanuel College.
The Emmanuel College History Club leverages EC's Boston location--and the city's rich history--for a hands-on, co-curricular experience!
Emmanuel students have a longstanding reputation of going above and beyond to fulfill their expectations and achieving their goals--history and secondary education major Emily Solup '16 is no exception.
With some help from Emmanuel's newest history faculty member, Italian-born Violetta Ravagnoli, the department ate like Romans--and discussed Roman cuisine before and after the Colombian Exchange.
On the evening of May 1st, the 36 graduating students of the Class of 2015 showcased their work on their work in a public viewing in the Art Department. Check out their work in photos from the event!
