Feminists and the easily offended probably won't take to Harvey's blanket statements and blunt advice, but Harvey's fans and those in need of tough (but ticklish) love advice should check it out (especially the hysterical last-chapter q&a). Harvey also tackles mama's boys, "independent-and lonely-women," and the matter of children in the dating world ("if he's meeting the kids after you decide he's the one, it's too late"). Harvey undertakes the task because "women are clueless about men," because "men get away with a whole lot of stuff" and because he has "some valuable information to change all of that." Harvey makes a game effort, taking a bold but familiar men-are-dogs approach: If you're "cutting back" on sex, "he will have another woman lined up and waiting to give him what he needs and wants-the cookie." Several chapters later, however, he introduces the "ninety-day rule," asserting that, actually, he won't always have another woman lined up-and the only way to make sure is a three month vetting period. As a popular comedian, radio host and red-blooded male, Harvey doesn't have the bona fides typical to most women's relationship self-help, but he still manages a thorough, witty guide to the modern man. The purpose of this study was to examine how Black men and women understand masculine performances in romantic relationships and to do so using Steve. There’s a backstory given to the murderer, and while it explains his inability to regulate his saliva output, I felt like it passed over a few of the transitional stages between high-school loser and outright murderous ghoul. Once the killing starts, there’s not many directions the story can go, and the rest of the book is rather underwhelming. As the teens start spreading out, he starts picking them off, dismembering one with a scythe, setting fire to another, and decapitating another with a chainsaw. Unbeknownst to them, the man who works at the graveyard is a hideously mutilated psychopath.

Former high school student and teacher Carl Phillips wins prestigious national award. Through Verity, Annaleigh’s youngest sister, we learn about their deaths in very gruesome and grotesque detail. We learn quickly that a few of her sisters have already died, including their mother. The first chapter opens with the funeral of one of Annaleigh’s twelve sisters. It reminds me a lot of the real story of Cinderella, the version that is decidedly not told to children. This book, right off the bat, was a grim dark, twisted version of a fantasy retelling. I was caught like a fish, hook, line, and sinker. The synopsis included some of my favorite things: a castle on the coast (I can practically smell the salt air), princesses, and fairytales. The cover was so beautiful and intriguing I just had to know more about this book. I picked this book up from Target on a whim (during quarantine when I had to physically go into the store to pick up my prescriptions). Drawn from hundreds of interviews with developers, Coders is an immersive account of who coders are, what they do and how their work shapes our reality. The feature is an excerpt from Thompson’s forthcoming book, “ Coders: The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World,” out March 26, 2019. In a February New York Times Magazine feature, “The Secret History of Women in Coding,” journalist Clive Thompson uncovers the little-known history of the women who shaped the early software industry, and disentangles the complex of web of social, cultural and economic factors that led to programming becoming a field dominated by men. “It really amazed me that these men were programmers,” she said later, “because I thought it was women’s work!” In 1953, a woman named Elsie Shutt accepted a job as a programmer at defense contractor Raytheon, where she was astonished to find that the programming workforce was about 50% women and 50% men. NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory employees, 1940s In my analyses I distinguish between the real poet, the implied poet and the speaker in the poem. Some of the poems can be read as responses to other poems ("Lines on a Young Lady's Photograph Album", "Wedding Wind"), and some texts as parodies ("I Remember, I Remember", "Church Going"). Although Larkin was a central figure of the Movement, and as such, denied any kind of literary inspiration, still intertextuality enriched these poems. The first and the last poems ("Lines on a Young Lady's Photograph Album" and "At Grass") form a frame: in both texts Larkin realizes that knowing the past of other individuals is impossible for him, therefore his experience is incomplete: it is an experience about not having an experience. In most poems of The Less Deceived he made efforts to preserve experience, but also had to admit at least a partial failure. In his famous "Statement" in 1955 Philip Larkin said: "I feel that my prime responsibility is to the experience itself." His first mature collection of poems (which can be read as an organic whole) is a demonstration of this credo, but also a manifestation of his sceptical attitude.
