Yesterday, New Zealander Eleanor Catton was announced as the winner of the 2013 Man Booker Prize, Britain's highest literary accolade, for her second novel, The Luminaries. At 28, Catton is the youngest author to be honored with this award, and her book, at 832 pages, is the wordiest winner.
The Luminaries is the story of interwoven lives set during the New Zealand gold rush of 1866. Prostitute Anna is arrested the day that three men with connections to her disappear from the same coastal New Zealand town. Catton's remarkable web of unsolved crimes and mysteries creates an intricate plot with memorable characters. The Luminaries is rich in historical and geographical detail yet delivers this haunting story within a story in a contemporary tone.
Other titles on the shortlist this year include A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki, Harvest by Jim Crace, The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri, The Testament of Mary by Colm Toibin and We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo.
Earlier this year the Man Booker Prize Foundation stirred up controversy when it announced that the field of eligible candidates will be broadened going forward. The prize will now be eligible to writers from any country, including the United States, as long as the book is published in English and in the United Kingdom.
Montana Moore is a flight attendant with the dream of finding and marrying her perfect man in David Talbert's Baggage Claim. After witnessing her mother's fourth marriage and her younger sister's surprise engagement, Montana seems destined to always be the bridesmaid.
While weighed down with baggage from past relationships, Montana remains an incurable romantic with her head in the frothy clouds of the friendly skies. She is determined not to show up to her sister's engagement party dateless and deal with the pity and scorn of her family. Her resolution leads her to concoct a crazy husband-finding plan over the course of 30 days and 30,000 miles. Potential suitors include a young music producer, a respected pastor and a city councilman with sights on higher political office. This romantic quest is filled with laughs, life lessons and Montana's ultimate realization that love may have been close to home the whole time.
David Talbert is a Morgan State University graduate and a highly respected playwright. He has written and directed 14 nationally acclaimed touring productions that have earned him 24 NAACP nominations and wins for Best Playwright of the Year and the prestigious Trailblazer Award. Talbert also received the New York Literary Award for Best Playwright of the Year. With the film adaptation of Baggage Claim, Talbert is the first African American filmmaker to adapt and direct his own novel. The film boasts an all-star cast that includes Taye Diggs, Paula Patton and Djimon Honsou, and is in theaters now. Check out the trailer for a sneak peek at this entertaining ensemble.
Canadian master of the short story Alice Munro has been named the winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature by the Swedish Academy. Only the 13th woman in the history of the award to win, Munro has been one of the rumored front-runners in recent years, and prior to the announcement had been running second by oddsmakers Ladbrooke's, slightly behind Japanese writer Haruki Murakami. The first from her country to win the award, she is also the first North American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature since Toni Morrison in 1993.
Munro, 82, won the Man Booker International Prize in 2009, and has won the Governor General's Award for Fiction and the Giller Prize on multiple occasions. Her signature style of writing often evokes small-town life in Ontario and other parts of Canada, often viewed through the observational lens of ordinary women with extraordinary stories to be told. Often covering the emotional and literary depth of novels, her realistic short stories develop characters, setting and plot using an economy of words and pages.
Earlier this year, Munro announced her retirement from writing. The Nobel Prize in Literature will be presented in Stockholm on December 10.
Memories are powerful entities. Sometimes they are strong enough to send us running from all that we fear and love straight into the unknown. Jacqueline has escaped from her painful past in Liberia by traveling across the shores of Northern Africa and Greece in Alexander Maksik's second novel, A Marker to Measure Drift. Quiet, introspective and even explosively revealing, Jacqueline's haunting past slowly unfolds throughout the novel as she tries to find the courage to face her tragic losses one by one. With each revelation that surfaces, we learn more about Jacqueline and how she has come to be a lonely, homeless woman drifting from place to place.
A Marker to Measure Drift examines how life can suddenly change without warning because of the violent actions of others, especially for Jacqueline as she was catapulted from her life of luxury to sleeping in a cave with only a handful of possessions and her memories to keep her company. How do you lose everything and everyone but still find the strength to go forward? How do you trust and open up to someone again? How do you forgive yourself for being alive when your loved ones are not? These are the questions Jacqueline asks herself over and over, until finally, she finds her answers. Readers of Michael Ondaatje, author of The English Patient, and Chris Bohjalian, author of The Sandcastle Girls, will find themselves immersed in Maksik's evocative storytelling.
Punk-rock bassist and Soto Zen monk Brad Warner's There Is No God and He Is Always with You: A Search for God in Odd Places takes its title from a well-known Zen Buddhist quotation. Warner believes that it "expresses the Zen Buddhist approach to the matter of God very succinctly." As he explores the question of what God means to Buddhists and what non-Buddhists can learn from Zen teachings, Warner addresses spiritual and practical considerations through his experiences.
Having recently traveled the world doing book tours, spiritual retreats, and lectures, the author considers the roles of the body and mind and how people of various religious and cultural backgrounds conceptualize them. He travels to the Holy Land and meets and stays with an elderly Palestinian peace activist who owns a hostel that only takes donations. Warner also finds himself teaching and learning in places where Zen Buddhism is quite unknown, such as in Mexico and Northern Ireland. In one section, he discusses how Buddhism rejects the common Western perception of the body and mind as separate. The opposite, in fact, is a core belief of Buddhists, as the Heart Sutra explains there is no division between body and mind.
A good choice as a beginning-to-intermediate look at how Zen Buddhism and Western traditions can complement and contrast, Warner's conversational musings are accessible to anyone wanting to think about his or her own spiritual background and understanding. Readers of comparative religion authors such as Karen Armstrong and Thich Nhat Hanh will find much to consider in this thought-provoking book.
Many people know Alison Sweeney from her work hosting NBC's The Biggest Loser and her long-running role as Sami Brady on Days of Our Lives. Recently, she took on a new challenge and wrote The Star Attraction, her debut novel. Sophie Atwater is a self-confessed workaholic. She loves her job as a publicist at a well-respected Los Angeles firm. When she is chosen for the highly sought-after job of representing A-list actor Billy Fox, Sophie is thrilled, but soon her interactions with Billy take a flirty turn that puts her relationship with her long-term boyfriend Jacob in jeopardy. After she's caught in an ill-advised make-out session with Billy, Sophie's life and career fall apart. She has to decide what she really wants for her life and take charge to get it.
Sweeney's insider knowledge of life in Hollywood is evident in the story. Sophie has a clear and distinct voice, and reading her story feels like gossiping with a friend. With a wry sense of humor, The Star Attraction is a fun, fast read that will remind readers of classic chick lit novels like Lauren Weisberger's The Devil Wears Prada.
Days of Our Lives fans also won't want to miss Days of Our Lives Better Living: Cast Secrets for a Healthier, Balanced Life by Greg Meng and Eddie Campbell. Featuring plenty of color photos of the cast, this book includes recipes, fitness tips, fashion advice and lifestyle solutions from your favorite Days stars.
REDRUM! After 36 years, Stephen King revisits Danny Torrance, the protagonist of The Shining, in his new novel Doctor Sleep. After surviving the horrors of that terrible winter at the Overlook Hotel, Dan grew up and battled his own personal demons. Like his father, Dan became an alcoholic, but he has been sober for 10 years. Now middle-age, he uses his abilities to help his hospice patients at the end of their lives, earning him the moniker Doctor Sleep. Dan's path crosses with a 12-year-old named Abra whose shining is even stronger than his own. He must protect her from a group called True Knot, who torture children like her and eat their shining. The Shining is one of King's best-known and most beloved novels, and King delivers in this long-awaited sequel as only he can!
King fans have even more to celebrate this fall because King's debut novel Carrie is coming to theaters in October. In this classic horror novel, Carrie is a teenage outcast with telekinetic abilities who seeks revenge against the popular classmates who humiliate her at prom. The new film adaptation starring Chloë Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore is billed as more faithful to the novel than the previous version. To celebrate the release of the film, a new audiobook edition is now available. This exciting new recording is read by Sissy Spacek, who starred in the 1976 film, and it's a special treat for King's long-time fans.
Every busy, overwhelmed parent's nightmare comes true in Just What Kind of Mother Are You?, the debut novel by British author Paula Daly. Lisa Kallisto is a busy, overworked and harried kennel operator. She is married to Joe, a taxi driver, and has three young children. Half paying attention to Sally, their 13-year-old daughter, Lisa agrees to host Sally's friend Lucinda for the night. But due to a series of events, Lucinda goes missing and Lisa quickly realizes that she is ultimately responsible. Compounding the situation is that Lisa and Kate, Lucinda's mother, are best friends. A tension-filled gathering at Kate's home pits family against family and neighbor against neighbor, as the small town attempts to find Lucinda and bring her home safely.
Daly writes from various perspectives: from Lisa's, that of Detective Constable Joanne Aspinall, and from a third-person narrator observing an ominous man who follows schoolgirls from a distance. A former physiotherapist, the author writes of the economically unstable area of England's Lake District. Bucolic in appearance, the area can be fraught with unexpected booms and busts, turning families upside down generation to generation. In an interview, Daly credits Stephen King's seminal nonfiction book On Writing for pushing her to become a novelist.
Equal parts thriller, a meditation on the bounds of friendship, a maze of placing and accepting blame, and a contemporary look at class divisions in northern England, this page-turner will leave you breathless up to its unexpected conclusion.
A cozy New England hamlet definitely needs some mystery and dark secrets to make life interesting, and Karen Brown delivers with The Longings of Wayward Girls. In the summer of 1979, Sadie is a 12-year-old girl with a big imagination, a flair for the dramatic and just enough boredom to lead her into trouble. She also physically resembles another neighborhood girl who disappeared five years prior, a coincidence that will continue to haunt her into adulthood. Sadie and her best friend play a trick on Francie, a younger neighbor, leaving her a series of letters supposedly written by a boy from an earlier era. Francie's letters back to the imaginary person become darker and more telling of trouble at home, but Sadie and her friend are not mature enough to understand this. Soon after, Francie becomes the second girl in the neighborhood to disappear, and Sadie and her friend harbor guilt over her disappearance. Twenty-four years later, Sadie is living the quintessential stay-at-home mother existence in her hometown. Yet she remains haunted by her dysfunctional family history, a recent stillbirth and her own lack of professional accomplishments, not to mention the long-ago unsolved disappearances of the two girls.
In some ways, this is a typical suburban drama about families with underlying issues: Sadie's alcoholic, suicidal mother; Francie's abusive father; another neighbor's odd obsession with Christmas displays. Yet Brown fine tunes the characters and brings enough details about suburban living into the writing to authenticate the scenes. The characters are not always likeable, but their past traumas and upbringings do provide a modicum of explanation for their current actions and personalities. Those who enjoy authors like Jennifer McMahon or Heather Gudenkauf will become intrigued with this community brimming with past and present secrets.
For Celia Cassill, life since her husband's premature death has been about keeping what's important close to her. Her memories, her grief, her personal space are hers alone. The young widow in Amy Grace Loyd's graceful debut, The Affairs of Others, goes about her days like a figure in a dollhouse, her life compartmentalized in the converted Brooklyn brownstone she purchased after her husband died.
Celia has carefully chosen the tenants who rent her three apartments based on their ability to respect each other's privacy and mind their own business. "There is a certain consonance of character I look for," she tells George, an English teacher who wants to sublet his rooms to a recently divorced middle-age woman named Hope. Celia reluctantly agrees. Soon Hope's problems seep into her landlord's guarded milieu and Celia finds herself increasingly drawn into the attractive woman's orbit. It's not long before the lives of her other tenants ignite her curiosity as well, like the mismatched couple whose relationship is on the rocks and the elderly ferry captain who suddenly wanders off. Celia begins tiptoeing around their messy lives as she reevaluates her own through trial and error, sex and violence.
Loyd, the former literary editor at Playboy magazine, exposes with elegant, spare prose grief's manifestation and its tentacle-like reach. "Certain grief trumps others," Celia says in her somber, observant voice that resonates with the intimate knowledge of dying. Readers of Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking or Lily Tuck's I Married You for Happiness will recognize lost and found joy in this accomplished first effort.

The offseason comes much sooner than Rob Gronkowski expected - 0 Comments
Like the rest of his teammates, Rob Gronkowski didn't expect to be cleaning out his locker today. But that's the harsh reality facing the rookie tight end after the Patriots 28-21 loss to the Jets yesterday.
Gronkowski wasn't quite sure how to handle the unexpected free time.
"We have no football – it's weird," Gronkowski said. "We've been playing for the last six months. It's going to be like a little different lifestyle now. It definitely is now like, 'We don't have football this week.' It's kind of weird. We've just got to adjust a little."

Seriously. Says so on the press notes. Livingston to the 60 day DL to make room.
This should solidfy a playoff spot........... Oh we are eliminated. Nevermind.....
Reds Fan Since 1971
More beating the Cubs keys being put into place
Bellhorn, the key to a 90 loss season
Go Gators!
I know this isn't a big deal, but it was real clear to me in last night's game that the bench was very thin. I'd forgotten about Cantu, but in the 9th inning, we only had David Ross and Pedro Lopez (who I'd also forgotten about) to pinch hit. A couple of more bodies can't hurt in pinch.
In looking at our Opening Day starting eight, five of them were unavailable last night (including the entire outfield!).
Gil off the DL, now Bellhorn called up?
Tell me where I can buy those playoff tickets for 2008...
I read where Pedro Lopez might get a start tonight. First time back after his 7/25 beaning.
Hope the kid does well.
Teach tolerance.
Sidelined by the arrival of first base prospect Joey Votto, Reds first baseman Scott Hatteberg has been hampered by a strained oblique for the last week or so, he said before Thursday's game.
He wasn't available to pinch hit on Tuesday, and said he has been available for limited duty the last two days.
"Not that my situation would change," said Hatteberg, who hasn't played since Aug. 3 against the Mets, the day before Votto was called up from Class AAA Louisville. "It affects pinch hitting, not that I'm effective at it. It is one of those things that's nagging."
It's not a big deal. In fact, I think it's a move that is somewhat overdue. Officially, the Reds now have 19 position players on the active roster. However, that includes Ken Griffey Jr., Josh Hamilton, Adam Dunn, and Scott Hatteberg--all of whom are likely done for the rest of the season/week. (I wouldn't risk aggravating Hatteberg's oblique--I would just shut him down, which is what it looks like they have done.) It also includes Alex Gonzalez, who has been limited to PH duty by a sore knee. So that leaves 14 healthy bodies:
Starting Eight (recently)
C Javier Valentin
1B Joey Votto
2B Brandon Phillips
SS Jeff Keppinger
3B Edwin Encarnacion
LF Buck Coats
CF Norris Hopper
RF Jason Ellison
C David Ross
C Ryan Hanigan
IF Jorge Cantu
IF Pedro Lopez
IF Jerry Gil (added yesterday)
IF Mark Bellhorn (added today)
Walking Wounded
SS Alex Gonzalez (limited to PH duty--knee)
1B Scott Hatteberg (likely done for year--oblique)
OF Adam Dunn (done for year--knee)
OF Ken Griffey, Jr. (done for year--groin)
OF Josh Hamilton (done for year--hamstring)
So as you can see, the bench has been very thin. And there's no excuse for a thin bench in September.

Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
Big Klu, perhaps I understated the situation when I said it's no big deal. I was trying to say it was clearly necessary when I mentioned the limited options in last night's game. I was relieved when I saw Cantu come up, although to be honest, if there ever was a spot I would have liked Scott Hatteberg available, last night's ninth inning was it.
It's breathtaking the sheer number of injuries we're finishing with.
Back in the Lindner era folks would get up in arms when they didn't think the roster was being boosted enough in September (which in the Schott, Lindner era there were a few thin falls)
That said I wish that MLB would take the same approach that hockey has, that being the roster has to be set at 25 at game time. If the non players want to kick in the dugout with their uniforms and tennis shoes then so be it. But 25 firm would make the battle a bit more equal.
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
The National League team (I forget which one) wanted to reward a certain catcher (3rd or 4th on the depth chart) who had not made the post season 25 man roster. The manager asked Berra if the player could at least suit up as the 26th man to serve exclusively as a bullpen catcher, of course not eligible to actually play.
Yogi agreed but added something like, "It's OK with me, but if a fight breaks out, he stays in the bullpen!"

The acts are always great, the acoustics are very good and the seating is very comfortable and views from anywhere. It's an intimate setting too, very nice experience all around!
I attend shows and concerts at Merrill Auditorium several times a year and always enjoy fantastic music and entertainment.
We recently got last minute tickets to the Auditorium to view Celtic Thunder's tour there - even though they were in the balcony, the view was excellent, and I doubt there is a bad seat in the house. The acoustics are as grand as the decor, and the seating is quite comfortable. Those with walking difficulties would do well to...
I've been to dozens of shows at Merrill since moving to Portland in 1980. The building was completely restored a number of years ago. It is truly a sight to behold. The acoustics and site lines are top notch. The staff is friendly. Highly recommended.
I have been here for major concerts as well as for kids shows, and I absolutely adore this place. The accoustics are excellent, and even the concession choices were excellent downstairs. If you have time to walk around the building, do so, talk about marvelous architecture.
The auditorium is build to let the sound fill the auditorium. There are three levels. They do have an elevator to the balcony and third tier. Once we got to the balcony, we found there were lots of steps to get to the level of our seats on the balcony. If you have problems with steps, I suggest you get...
Beautiful Theater in downtown Portland, ME
Attached to the back of City Hall.
We have been attending the Bob Marley New Years Eve show here for several years now.
Love the Merrill...what a great piece of history....Bob Marley was great as were the two comedians before him.. Love this place
My Wife & I attended the Portland Symphony Orchestra "The Magic of Christmas! What a performance with special guests and music & a fun holiday sign along segment! It really got us in the Christmas Spirit!
We have had the wonderful luxury to attend concerts, live theater, ballet, and comedic shows in this beautiful venue.
Acoustics are superb. Very intimate setting. Comfortable seats. Incredibly helpful and friendly staff in the box office and ushers.
One downside is lack of bathrooms on any level other than the first (and there really aren't enough of them....always a long...

Andrew or Logan?

Neither name is my style but if I had to choose I would go with the classic Andrew. The name is more versatile than Logan (eg. what you call your firstborn child often dictates what style you choose for any future children). Andrew matches with many styles (surnames like Emmett, traditional names like the three middle name choices etc...). Logan is trendy so I think Andrew ages better. Andrew William is not a good options with the back-to-back w's so I would eliminate that one. I like Andrew Thomas and Andrew Jacob in that order.All the best,

Thanks everyone! A few points have been made which I agree with, including Logan being trendy and the lack of nickname options. I'll be honest and say that Im not a nickname fan anyway and will probably use the full name at least 80% of the time, but I have really been crushing on the nickname Andy for Andrew (I'm also a fan of Drew). Andrew is also less popular here, so it seems I have more reasons to choose Andrew but I can't seem to let Logan go! I didn't realise that naming could be so difficult, haha!Pregnant with my first child due June 2014 - A boy!

In 1995 we moved from Namibia to a town called George on the Garden Route in South Africa – we found this wonderful property, first registered in 1861. The place was very neglected, but I undertook to start a guest house, so that the house could at least pay for its own upkeep after the restoration. That is the start of my life as a guest house owner and this is the story of a house and garden,lovingly restored and shared with our guests, with family and friends…
Golf in the Garden Route – an update (Maria Rein from Switzerland)
APRIL 2015: I came back after one year, and the Fairview Homestead is my home in George. Thanks to the outstanding hospitality. Philda and Desmond always give me the feeling to be (a little bit) part of the family. Here are some update and more links you might find useful if you are a passionate golfer - The "Best of Golf" guys have moved their business quite recently to the Cape Town area, no location at the Garden Route any more. - In March 2015 I had the opportunity to join a golf tournament: The 6th annual ultimate garden...read more

Pickling Peppadews
The peppadews growing at Fairview self-seeds and we find ourselves in constant supply of these deliciously piquant little peppers. The green shaped ones will all turn red at some stage – I quite like the look of a combination of green and red in one jar. I use it in omelets, pasta dishes, in salad and stuffed with creme cheese it makes a lovely snack served with ice cold beer. When we lived in Shoal Lake in Canada, I had an Ukranian neighbour (Baba Stech) who taught me a thing or two about pickling, but a word of...read more
a trip through Baviaanskloof
Over Easter weekend 2015 we made use of the service of Locum Solutions (Sandra and Mullin de Placido tel 082 6999 271) to run our guest house and we joined Jannie and Thea Malherbe on a trip through the Baviaanskloof. The Malherbes own Futro Paints and have been our painters of choice for the last 20 years. Over the years we have developed a lovely friendship – cemented by the men's love of fishing. We entered Baviaanskloof from Willomore; after a quick stop for coffee and cake at Sophie's Choice. We stayed two nights at...read more
networking over a cup of coffee
I organise networking get togethers on behalf of the local Outeniqua Tourism Association – for our March 2015 get together a few of my B&B friends accompanied me on a visit to the local coffee roasters who supply me with freshly ground coffee on a weekly basis. Root Coffee is a Micro Roastery in the heart of the Garden Route, run by husband and wife team Andre & Tanya Prins. They share a passion for great coffee, and have made it their goal to always supply the FRESHEST coffee, clearly stating the roasting date on the packs....read more
Camino Frances – walking solo from St Jean to Santiago
"I left thinking I knew who I was, only to return with the knowledge that I am so much more…" I started my first Camino on the 5th of July 2005. Subsequently I have walked again in 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2014, covering sections of the Camino Francés, the Via Podiensis (the section from Le Puy en Velay to Moissac) and the whole of the Camino Portugués (from Lisbon to Santiago.) I flew with Ryan Air to Biarritz, then took the airport bus to Bayonne and from there the train to St Jean. Shockingly effortless! I was bowled over by the pretty...read more

Elton Olivier will take visitors to George on guided trail walks through the Outeniqua Mountains. His contact number is 0798539306 and email firstname.lastname@example.com This afternoon we already had the first guests who told us that they planned to come back to George so that they can join Eltan on some of his guided hiking trails! The main routes are: Forest Buzzard trail through indigenous forest and plantations (2,2 – 5 km)...read more
the make-over of Shanty 21
When our children were still in school they formed a band and, as you know, a band needs to practice. When you grow up in a house that is your home as well as a guest house that proves to be a problem. Our children's solution was to claim a small store room below the swimming pool as their little music den. They called it Shanty 21. I asked Alex: 'why 21?' and he answered: ' every abode needs a number…' I suppose when you are 16 years old 21 sounds like a grand number to be. Shanty was kitted out with...read more
Security / right of admission reserved
We can now say 'secure parking offered' – we just had 2 sets of beams installed to protect the cars at night. The beams are activated at 11.30 at night which will help with another problem that we guest house owners have to contend with: After more than 17 years in the business I have found it necessary to have the following notice made for every bedroom: NO VISITORS AFTER 6 PM WITHOUT PRIOR ARRANGEMENT WITH MANAGEMENT Yes, you guessed correctly: a man booked in as a single but I saw his 'friend' walk up the...read more

If you want to know more about me just ask! :) Basically I am a fun-loving, yet focused person. I have put a lot of time and energy into getting to where I want to be career-wise and now am happy to finally be in a great city and able to spend a lot more time on my personal life. That being said, my job does get pretty crazy sometimes. I am looking for someone who is caring and driven but who knows how to have some fun too. I can get serious at times and need someone a little goofy in my life to help lighten the mood.

I've started and abandoned quite a few books recently: Gone Girl, A Thousand Splendid Suns, Fall of Giants, and Inferno. I get in kicks where I want to read all of the time and then work gets busy and I never finish......

On the Doorstep: Spending time with old friends
I rode to Moon Lake one day last week to help a newspaper friend – who's become just a friend – lay his wife to rest. I rarely get out of the town of Tunica these days anyway, and it's been even longer since I drove the old road that loops around the edge of the lake.
Ray Mosby is a native Coahoma Countian and worked for many years at the Press Register in Clarksdale, before buying the weekly in Rolling Fork and moving to the South Delta.
But his roots are still deep up north. The little Montroy family cemetery was established in 1837 along the Coahoma-Moon Lake Road by Ray's ancestors. Ray told me that the original Montroy and the original Friar (as in Friars Point) came down the river together from St. Louis and set up homesteads just a few miles apart.

Product description
Cult fiction explores the reciprocal relationship between comics and art, foregrounding links between the two genres where current social and political issues are aired in frank visual narratives.The comic artists and graphic novelists represented here are mainly from the generation of independent author-draughtsmen, whose subject matter tends to be offbeat and transgressive - and sometimes controversial. For Julie Doucet and Debbie Drechsler 'real life issues', approached in autobiographical styles, supplant moralistic tales of good and evil. The true realities of life within a war zone are sensitively charted in Joe Sacco's Palestine, while everyday characters become unlikely heroes in the stories of Daniel Clowes and R. Crumb.An essay by Paul Gravert illuminates the long-standing love affair between fine art and comics, while Hayward Curator, Emma Mahony sets the contemporary context in her introductory essay. A specially commissioned picture-essay by Kim L. Pace, together with drawn self-portraits and questionnaires by the contributing artists, make this a unique publication.

I was doing a bit of research and apparently lots of people send thousands of texts a month, which I find quite surprising. I tend to send around 600 a month - I'm at university and send quite a few texts each day to my friends about meeting up, then send texts to friends outside uni and the parents, but I still don't send anything like the thousands others apparently do. So how much do you text? If you really do send thousands, does it feel like you're texting all the time?
How many texts do you send a month?

I don't reckon I send more than between 300-500 a month, 1,000 seem excessive!
A lot. I don't know how many exactly, but thank God for unlimited texts! I don't think I'm capable of sending thousands, I'm pretty sure I don't have enough friends for that, but probably it can probably go over 500 quite easily.
Admittedly, during exam time and all that I'll send about one text a day and that's usually to my mother... but during the summer especially I'm firing them off left, right, and centre!
You can tell I'm a hardcore texter because I've got a phone with a qwerty keyboard :P

I'd say I send no more than 400. I used to send a lot less but now I've got a boyfriend we text a fair bit.
I don't think I'll ever understand how people manage to send thousands...

Let There Be Light
These last few weeks, I've noticed the days are slowly getting longer — and warmer! Lucky for me, my apartment boasts a full wall of windows facing east, offering plenty of sunlight, and plenty of greenery come spring. Although these lovely windows of mine have heavy drapes to cover them up (a girl's got to sleep in sometimes, right?), I often ponder whether I should take them down for a full sunlit look. Here's a small collection of inspiration photos that will surely have you daydreaming, too.
This industrial loft from the Netherlands is stunning with its sky-high ceilings. And what a statement those windows make!
If you use your kitchen for more than just microwaving, you probably crave more natural light. This Brazilian home has a wall of windows extending to the second floor. Imagine enjoying a view onto your courtyard while eating your morning toast.
This kitchen is surrounded by windows — all without drapes — allowing sunlight to flood the space. And I love the kitchen table that doubles as an island. See more of those in our photo gallery of tables as islands.
This breathtaking structure called "The Brain" is a 14,280 cubic-foot cinematic laboratory built for a filmmaker who wanted a quiet space to work out ideas. These large windows give way to the plush Seattle greenery.
The idea of windows shouldn't be limited to exterior walls. This home uses them to share light between two rooms. Have you noticed the vanity is actually an old desk? I love a good DIY recycling project!
This dreamy cottage is in the woods of Alabama. I couldn't imagine better windows for a cabin. Time for a nap?
If your home wasn't blessed with great windows but you crave the loft look, try faking it with an oversized mirror that reflects light and extends sight lines.
With the warmth radiating through the office windows as I write this, I'm reminded that it might be best for me to wait for colder months to strip my windows bare, seeing as the morning sun (and heat!) won't be so pleasant come summer time!
