5/24/2023 Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus. [By M. W. Shelley.] by Mary Wollstonecraft ShelleyRead Now![]() Frankenstein is a novel infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. ![]() In modern popular culture, people have tended to refer to the Creature as "Frankenstein" (especially in films since 1931), despite this being the name of the scientist, and the creature being unnamed in the book itself. The title of the novel refers to the scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful. Shelley's name appeared on the revised third edition, published in 1831. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818, and this audiobook is read from that text. ![]() Shelley wrote the novel when she was 18 years old.

Michael disagrees with some of the main conclusions I reached, but that was expected. That’s something I struggle with sometimes, and it’s great to see that the attention I pay to it is producing results. I was especially happy to have him comment that he felt the writing was clear and concise. For those interested, it can be found here. I appreciate Michael taking the time to respond to my paper and to provide a number of helpful insights. ![]() ![]() It’s overwhelming…and I realize I may not have to imagine it after all. I imagine being some girl in a bar, being picked up by two men as big and strong and sexy as these two. I had no idea that Blue was kinky enough to watch a couple have sex-although he’s been plenty kinky in other ways with just me and him. The room feels twenty degrees hotter as testosterone and arousal swirl in the air. “Some girls like an audience,” West says, the drawl in his voice more pronounced. ![]() There are, what? Two men for every woman there. We’d get a night off and head to the bar near base. ![]() The words come out in a rush, and I know from the sultry, smug looks on their faces that I’m right. So intimate it makes me wonder if they’ve ever done more than tease. It’s some kind of tease, an extension of their friendly competitiveness, natural and somehow intimate. He knows exactly what he’s doing, and I think he likes it. He’s watching me, lids low, a dark expression on his face. ![]() For the first time since he showed up, lust flashes across his face. Instead his gaze drops to where Blue’s hand is on my a$. They have a competitive camaraderie that is fun to be around. ![]() ![]() One has to use a jeweler's loupe to find a flaw or a dull moment in this splendid conclusion to one of the finest fantasy sagas to bridge the millennium.

We're going to hear excerpts of two of those interviews today. ![]() The tumor was removed, but he learned in February that the cancer had spread to his liver and he didn't have long to live. Late in life he had visual distortions and hallucinations caused by a brain tumor behind his right eye. He described himself as having face blindness, an inability to recognize people by their faces. Sacks also drew on observations of his own mind and body and some of the unusual conditions he lived with. A case study of a man who mistook his wife for a hat became the title story of one of his best-known books. His beautifully written books examine the mysteries of perception, memory and consciousness by drawing on his observations of patients with unusual neurological disorders and brain injuries that produced strange distortions. Sacks had been a physician and a professor of neurology at the New York University School of Medicine. Today we remember Oliver Sacks, the neurologist and best-selling author. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are essays on travel in dangerous territories, on men in prison, on extreme endurance races, on saccharine, on murder trials, on unusual diseases, on women and pain. “The Empathy Exams” bounces among topics. Her book isn’t, except in passing, a medical memoir. ![]() In “The Empathy Exams,” her extraordinary new book of essays, she calls to mind writers as disparate as Joan Didion and John Jeremiah Sullivan as she interrogates the palpitations of not just her own trippy heart but of all of ours. “There was an extra electrical node,” her doctor explains, “sending out extra signals - beat, beat, beat - when it wasn’t supposed to.” She calls this her “tiny rogue beat box.” The medical name for her condition is SVT, or supraventricular tachycardia. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Mucho Mojo is the fourth Hap and Leonard book that I have read, and they are great characters. They also discover something in Uncle Chester’s house that leads them into conflict with a child murderer and the police. The house turns out to be next door to some drug dealers, whom Hap and Leonard eventually deal with. Our two East Texas good-ole (and very tough) redneck vigilantes/amateur detectives, Hap and Leonard, get involved when Leonard inherits a broken down house from his deceased Uncle Chester. However, there is plenty of bad magic in the form of drug dealers and child murderers in this book. Mucho Mojo, according to one of the characters in this book means “Much bad magic.” The book does not deal with black magic or any kind of magic. Mucho Mojo (first published in 1994), is the second Hap Collins and Leonard Pine book by Joe Lansdale. ![]() ![]() My next series will be a vampire family saga set in the modern version of that same world.This is my ![]() ![]() It?s set in 1919 in a world similar to ours, but with magic.
