The Talk-Funny Girlby Roland Merullo
In one of the poorest parts of rural New Hampshire, teenage girls have been disappearing, snatched from back country roads, never to be seen alive again. For seventeen-year-old Marjorie Richards, the fear raised by these abductions is the backdrop to what she lives with her own home, every day. Marjorie has been raised by parents so intentionally isolated from normal society that they have developed their own dialect, a kind of mountain hybrid of English that displays both their ignorance of and disdain for the wider world. Marjorie is tormented by her classmates, who call her "The Talk-funny girl," but as the nearby factory town sinks deeper into economic ruin and as her parents fall more completely under the influence of a sadistic cult leader, her options for escape dwindle. But then, thanks to a loving aunt, Marjorie is hired by a man, himself a victim of abuse, who is building what he calls "a cathedral," right in the center of town.
Day by day, Marjorie's skills as a stoneworker increase, and so too does her intolerance for the bitter rules of her family life. Gradually, through exposure to the world beyond her parents' wood cabin thanks to the kindness of her aunt and her boss, and an almost superhuman determination, she discovers what is loveable within herself. This newfound confidence and self-esteem ultimately allows her to break free from the bleak life she has known, to find love, to start a family, and to try to heal her old, deep wounds without passing that pain on to her husband and children.
By turns darkly menacing and bright with love and resilience, The Talk-Funny Girl is the story of one young woman's remarkable courage, a kind of road map for the healing of early abuse, and a testament to the power of kindness and love.
Editorial Reviews
The Washington Post
"Roland Merullo's book, The Talk-Funny Girl, takes place in the gritty real world, but is rooted in a mythic world. I loved the inventiveness, the bits of unusual language, the heart-wrenching story, and the remarkable portrait of a troubled but gutsy girl who battles her way toward happiness. One of the best novels I have ever read. A book for the ages."--Anita Shreve, author of Rescue
"Roland Merullo has created not just a unique voice but a unique language for seventeen-year-old Marjorie Richards, but what makes The Talk-Funny Girl unforgettable is its young heroine's refusal to succumb to the evil that surrounds her. What a brilliant, great-hearted novel this is."--Ron Rash, author of Serena and Burning Bright
"Captivating...[Merullo] is adept at creating suspense, planting credible red herrings, and finally spilling the truth at just the right moment...in a breathless, stunning climax that feels both surprising and inevitable." - Boston Globe

This book will surely open your eyes to the brutality that some children face. Although a novel, I can believe that this isn't unheard of. The author has a spectacular way of bringing you into every detail right from the first page. I am enjoying it so much that at a quarter of the way through, I'm giving it 5 stars!!! I love when I don't have to struggle at the beginning of a book to"get into it".
Right people are always doing that and it is so annoying!annyways it is an awsome book happy reads
I coulnt agee more!! Your so right i want to see if its a great book!
I'm sorry I'm breaking my own rule but PLEASE STOP posting stuff about yourself, questions about boring things, and crap you want to do! Some people (like me) arw trying to see if this is a good book. Please stop that's what people made Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for not Nook reviews!!!
I just read this books, and let me tell you it was an eye-opener into another world. The book describes Marjorie Richards and her way into staying with her family and becoming a woman. She goes thorugh many obstacles, her parents want her to work and make all the money, and then give it to them. Her aunt wants Marjorie to live with her and start a new life and get the education she needs. Then she fights herself into doing what's right versus what's wrong. I recommend this book to any child that has problems in their life, or who is being bullied, or to anyone in general because you get hooked to the whole story!
A marvelous book! It was very real, the characters were all believable, and unfortunately there are a lot of people living much the same life as the family in this book. There was a sense of crawling unease that was always just under the surface. The very unique language was strange, but it never got in the way of understanding the dialogue. Highly recommend this book, it was a grand read, and now I am going to search out more books by this author.
Incredible page turner. The story broke my heart.
Katie m was blocked. We are moving to "Gods girls" result 2. Thanks for the cooperation!
Hmm.. I am central time and usually any time after 3:30 is good as long as I am not doing anything.. :P
My dream is to star in movies. It has been since the summer but ive never been so sure of anythin as i am of this. I know if it is God's will it will happen. I hope it is because i want this sooo bad tho i know thousands of people do as well. But since actors and celebrities can be so looked up to id hope to be one that is so i could use my faith and fame to reach others. So that's my dream.

Meet John Trow by Thomas Dyja
Book DescriptionSteven Armour is a man at a crossroad: his rise up the career ladder has slowed to a crawl, and his family is slipping out of control. But life takes a dramatic turn for Steven when, on a whim, he joins a local group of Civil War re-enactors. Assigned to immerse himself in the life of Private John Trow, Steven soon finds that the complex drills of the Union army seem to come to him naturally and his growing infatuation with Polly Kellogg, the wife of the regiment's captain, fires a passion that had cooled with his own wife. While the world around him races faster and faster toward the millennium, Steven turns to the simple consolations of nineteenth-century life. But so thoroughly does Steven embrace the life of John Trow that even Steven begins to wonder if he is just playing a part, or whether the unquiet spirit of John Trow is taking him over. As Steven's identity slips through his fingers, he must ask himself what - and who - he is willing to sacrifice to become the man he believes he should have been. Meet John Trow is a moving love story and a haunting, darkly comic exploration of the links between past and present.

Final trend report
Vicenzaoro Winter is wrapping up after six days that saw the introduction of new names and the announcement of a project for the future
Gold is sparkling just as bright despite the strong sense of uncertainty. There's much research being done in terms of working methods, especially laser working, and gold is trying to maintain that lightness that means buyers don't hesitate before buying it. Gold shines as always in the shop windows but pink gold has carved out a space for itself, especially in collections featuring white, brown or icy diamonds.
There's also no hesitation in choosing precious stones with supersized being the key word when it comes to carats.
The emerald is offered not just as an emerald-cut stone but often in cabochon-cut versions that maintains the classic feel. Opaque rubies are much less used but they offer a more casual use like in Casato's Chic line.
There's also some experimentation with rarer stones like morganite, red amber and alunite - a red turquoise from Mexico used by Etho. Then there are various "poor" alloys like a mix of copper and brass. Giorà by Giovanna Raspin uses it in her My Animals collection with dragons, lions, snakes and panthers as well as in her much sought after cuffs.
Fire opal has made a big comeback as has adularia and enamels, which have been modernized with new hues. Jewels have begun to follow in the footsteps of fashion and this can be seen in references to 'Roaring Twenties' themes and shapes in Art Deco style. Research, innovation and the desire for new offerings all go hand and hand.
Roberto Demegliobrings these elements together with cuffs in a pavé of spinel, Swarovski Gems
and white diamonds, in which the perfection of the cut of stones is the absolutely necessary element. Among the big names, Roberto Coin never ceases to amaze for the infinite number of colors of his enamels, which have been experimented on limited-edition dragons. Stefan Hafner shines as ever with his throat pieces in white diamonds and new Cigno line.
Brumani from Brazil offers tourmalines, aquamarines and highly refined pink morganites while Italian Pasquale Bruni not only focused on colors but presented 5 pieces from the limited-edition Liberty collection.
In terms of more casual pieces, all eyes were on the developments at Liu Jo Luxury.
Here at Vicenza the company presented the new Jolì line with mini watches and Lucky Love good-luck charms in silver and precious bouquets of ladybugs, four-leaf clovers and horse shoes.
Fiera Vicenza closed this edition having seen success in terms of numbers - 7,500 foreign visitors, 8,650 Italian visitors and about 1,400 brands present with buyers from 120 countries - and in terms of new projects that will be launched in the next few months. Then there's the Trend Vision Jewellery + Forecasting laboratory that will officially open in May, and there was a ribbon cutting ceremony to inaugurate the building of the new pavilion that will feature 15,000 square meters on a single story. These were the big innovations at this first show of 2012. But it won't be until next year that all of these projects will be able to be enjoyed.

Bankers' Association: Gambling Reform 'Unworkable'
- 0
- November 12th, 2011
- By lipstick
In light of recent Australian federal government review on gambling reform, the Australian Banker's Association has cautioned that any attempt to exploit national payments system in order to fight online gambling would be unworkable.
Namely, concern has been expressed by famous credit card operator Visa that trying to block financial transactions towards online gambling sites would have an impact on online shopping, as well.
In addition, the joint select committee on gambling reform has been warned by the chief executive of the Australian Bankers' Association, Steven Munchenberg, that trying to restrict financial transactions is ''not straightforward''.
''[If] Australia was identified as a jurisdiction where payment obligations may not be fulfilled in a certain and timely manner, it is possible that merchants and online service providers will refuse to accept business and payments from customers designated as originating from Australia,'' he said, adding: ''This would have a significant impact on the contestability of Australian businesses as well as the ability for Australian consumers to purchase online goods and services.''
Regarding the measure introduced by independent Senator Nick Xenophon that seeks to restrict financial transactions on prohibited internet gambling sites, its impact is being investigated by the government committee, which was also informed by representatives from Visa that blocking technology was unworkable.
The committee, which is headed by independent member of parliament Andrew Wilkie, heard evidence that Australians can easily reach 92 percent of the estimated 2,443 online gambling sites available on the internet, even though the Interactive Gambling Act banned local internet gambling sites from accepting money from Australian residents.
Whether or not this is going to affect the committee's opinion is to be seen soon, as its report should be submitted to the federal government at the end of November.

Evolution Theory of the Hunter – Chapter 64
Evolution Theory of the Hunter (ETH)
Volume 1 Chapter 64
[Previous] [Table of Contents] [Next]
Seeing the arrow lodged just a hairwidth's distance from his head, the big guy started to sweat as he slowly backed away. Then he made a mad dash for a car that had been on standby.
"Everyone run! Shit!"
But I couldn't let them get away like that.
I hit the ground hard and sprinted.
It didn't matter how fast he ran.
My focus was at 250.
My reflexes at 300.
Instant acceleration and speed…I had already surpassed that of a normal human beings' ability in these areas long ago.
I instantly ran in front of them all and cut them off from their vehicles. I still held the shield in my left hand and the Honcheon sword in my right. I lowered my stance in battle position.
"Shit! Shit! Kill him!"
Five of them, with their swords drawn, ran toward me. Even the archers pulled their swords free. Arrows were no use in close combat.
But with my back to the vehicle, only two of them could attack me at one time.
I slammed my shield against one opponent's sword to knock him off balance while I used the explosive attack of my Honcheon sword against another.
As the man flew back from the small explosion, his weapon shattered into smithereens and hit him all over. Hm. That could kill him if he didn't get it looked at.
Even though I had retired two of them in mere seconds, it seemed to only kindle the fire in the rest of them.
Because they had over 1,000 to deal with behind them.
They probably felt that if they didn't get rid of me and run away, they'd be goners for sure – there would be a mob lynching.
But their equipment levels were only 1 and 2s.
I was careful to keep an eye on the guy with the level 3 bow while I dropped each of them one by one.
This was too easy. The thought came to me that I would probably be able to fight against them even if I were barehanded.
Even those that had level 2 items, at most they would raise their abilities by 30 percent.
Compared to that, I had almost a 300 buff on all my abilities.
And I also had Sooah's buff on top of that.
Even if I were to go against 30 of these guys, they would not be able to beat me.
"Crap! What the hell is this!"
Big guy started to yell out in frustration. Bro. I feel you. It must be frustrating that you can't get through just one guy like me.
I blocked an attack to my shoulder with the shield and stabbed back.
He probably thought I would only block because he was knocked back completely.
He was so shocked my the attack that he looked as if he would drop his sword any second.
And then he did.
I rolled on the ground, picked up the sword, and immediately put it in my manual's storage.
The guy who dropped his sword dumbly started to look around for his weapon.
"My…my sword?"
To think he was looking around for his sword when I was right in front of him.
Well…it was a 200,000 dollar item. I'd look for it too.
I smacked him with my shield to knock him out. Goodnight.
Two men on either side of the now unconscious guy ran at me.
I swiped my Honcheon sword horizontally.
Slam! Slam!
Each explosive hit from my sword violently smacked my opponents' weapons into the air. But since they were level 2 items, they didn't shatter from the impact.
I jumped up, grabbed both swords, and stored them in my manual as I landed back to the ground.
"What, what the hell?"
"Is this a spell or magic?"
Magic my ass.
Just then, Manager Kim cast his sleep spell over the enemies' heads.
As soon as the golden light cascaded down, 3 of them fell unconscious in a heap.
Out of the 5 who had not fallen asleep, only 3 still had their weapons.
Big guy shot out his arrow, and it flew at me fast. But I slightly moved my body at an angle so it would graze my armor and bounce off harmlessly.
"What the hell! That makes no sense! This is a level 3 bow!"
Big guy started stomping around and yelling. He looked like he would have a heart attack any second now. I'm sorry but my armor's level 3 too. There's no way that it would cause any damage especially just from glancing off my armor at an angle.
"Party head!"
"Sorry we're late."
Cho Youngoo and Jong Sawon ran to my side. It wasn't that they were late, I was just too quick.
"I'm here too."
Park Hanbum. And behind him, 20 some other hunters had followed past the barricade.
No, there were more.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap Tap.
Hunters kept climbing over the barricade in great numbers.
"Shi, shit. What the hell…?"
"Are you guys asking to die! GO BACK BEHIND THE BARRICADE!"
Big guy kept yelling and yelling. Jeez.
But the men who had climbed over the barricades were only more emboldened and walked ever closer.
"Pieces of shits. Selfish pieces of shits."
"I've always wanted to choke the life out of you Ezekiel bastards."
"Yeh, you guys have been a menace for too long."
Hm. Guess no one was a fan of these guys.
I put the shield and sword back into storage.
I had half a mind to just leave them to the mob to deal with, but I had something I needed to do.
The bow big guy had in his possession was worth 800,000 dollars.
Might as well take that right?
I cracked my neck to one side before I pushed everyone back.
"What, what…?"
I outstretched an open palm to him.
He swung at me with his bow like a sword.
I grabbed it with my hands.
"If you hand over your weapon, I'll let you leave with your life."
"Shut the hell up!"
"Hm. Why are you being stubborn when I'm giving you the chance to live."
We started to wrestle with the bow.
The bow began to bend under the strain.
Surely it won't …break right? I mean…it's a level 3 item.
"Keuk. To think you'd try and wrestle with me."
"You think I look that weak?"
His arm began to shake. Looked like he was putting his all into it.
But I didn't give even an inch.
"What were you saying?"
He yelled out on the top of his lungs and pulled on the bow even harder.
He was pulling on the bow as if his life depended on it, but I still didn't budge.
Then I let one of my hands go.
I was holding it with one hand now, while he was using both arms to pull with all his might.
But he was still unable to wrestle the bow away from me.
Not only was his face a bright red, but his whole body had turned that alarming shade. It looked like his eyes would pop right out of his sockets any second now.
"Hey hey. You might just take a shit if you keep at it."
"I'm going to kill you!"
"Hm…And here I was trying to give you an out."
I pulled the bow. Hard.
And he was jolted toward me.
As soon as his face came right in front of mine, I socked him a good one with my free fist.
I heard something snap as he dropped to his knees and threw up everything in his stomach.
Everyone around us started to cheer like crazy.
And amidst all of happy roars, I took the bow and put it in my manual.
After taking what I came for, I slipped out of the large crowd.
They started to take every member of team Ezekiel and tied them all up onto the vehicles that were forming the barricade.
I was half surprised and relieved they didn't kill the lot of them.
"Hm…it's a shame we couldn't take their weapons."
Han Joonseok muttered. Little did he know, I was the one who had taken almost every single one of them and put them into my manual.
Jung Sooah came up to me and hit me lightly on the back.
"You should have said something instead of just running ahead like that. We were all surprised."
"Ah, I just saw an opportunity and went for it. And I thought everything would fall apart and everyone behind us would leave if we didn't make the first move. I needed to show them that team Ezekiel wasn't all that tough so that they wouldn't be afraid to cross over the barricade."
The entire crowd of some thousand people were looking my way.
We were able to overcome this small team but it was a different story if reinforcements came.
Depending on whether or not they stick with me at that time…the tide could go either way.
"Even if reinforcements were to come and attack, if we just hold our ground and refuse to turn away, they would have no choice to give up. Too many casualties would cause the government to step in…and no one on either side wanted that to happen."
"You were thinking that far ahead? That's our party head."
Cho Youngoo said as he gave me a thumbs up sign.
We started to move the barricade made up of vehicles.
It wasn't hard – all we had to do was release the side brake and push.
I motioned for everyone to pass.
I don't know how it happened, but there were now almost 300 cars waiting behind us – and almost 2000 hunters.
There was no way anyone could chase us all away.
"Thank you. It's thanks to you we can now try to make some kind of living."
"You're amazing!"
The hunters driving past in their cars kept yelling out to us. It was getting a bit embarrassing.
"Sunbeh Oppa, it looks like you might get really famous now!"
It was a great opportunity for hunters to become famous.
Because fame always came hand in hand with money.
This could help to catapult team Delta into being a real pro hunter team.
But I didn't want to get my hopes up just yet.
After letting all the other hunters go first, it was our turn.
I double checked all the items I had taken.
8 Level 2 items, 10 Level 1 items, and 1 Level 3 item.
That translated into roughly 3.5 million dollars.
Among my haul, the Grassland Horn Bow was a really useful item. It was much better to give to Bae Yeonkyoung or Han Joonseokk to use than to sell.
I brought out the bow from my manual.
"Uh? What is that?"
Sooah asked.
"Level 3 Grassland Horn Bow. You can accurately shoot at something while moving with this."
I looked at Bae Yeonkyoung and Han Joonseok.
Both of them were equipped with level 2 items.
It was a bit of a shame that neither of them were a match with the bow's extra option.
"Hm….Don't you think that the bow will be a better fit for Ms. Bae Yeonkyoung? Since I have the stalker…."
"I think that I am not qualified to use a Level 3 bow just yet. I think it would be better for Joonseok oppa to use it."
Jesus. They were now doing a polite fight of who should take a level 3 item.
As a hunter, I'm sure they both secretly coveted the bow.
But they were also putting the needs of the team over their own selfish desires. I really like my team.
