![]() I've seen some of the critiques out there on Doohan's book. I probably had my hands full with tribbles upon its initial release. ![]() So, since I missed the book upon its initial run in stores I had to get industrious. Doohan and little interest surrounding his life on the whole by publishers looking to make a buck it would seem unlikely another opportunity to read about the man's life would come along. Additionally with the unfortunate death of Mr. I love my local bookstore too, but they can't find gems like I Am Spock or Beam Me Up, Scotty and deliver them to my doorstep unfortunately. I scored a fairly mint copy off an Amazon seller. Beam Me Up, Scotty: Star Trek's "Scotty" In His Own Words has been out of print for some time and save having to spend roughly 50 dollars on the book from someone it can be a tough find. My latest excursion into the literary world would be this fairly difficult to find autobiography on the late, great Star Trek alumnus James Doohan as our friend Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott otherwise referred to simply as Scotty. ![]() " He's dead Jim." This is true Bones, which is why it wasn't easy attempting to learn more about this seemingly fine man. ![]()

![]() Is Seven Years in Tibet Based on a True Story? As the two mountaineers settle down in the remote town of Lhasa, they learn about Tibetan culture. After being captured by British soldiers, Harrer and Aufschnaiter manage to escape from a prisoner-of-war camp and enter Tibet, where they are initially treated with suspicion by the local people. The movie opens with Heinrich Harrer's unsuccessful attempt to climb the Nanga Parbat peak in British India. The movie's soundtrack also features a breathtaking performance by cellist Yo-Yo Ma. ![]() ![]() John Williams, the renowned composer, composed the music for Seven Years in Tibet. Pitt plays the role of Heinrich Harrer, while Thewlis plays the role of Peter Aufschnaiter, another mountaineer who becomes friends with Harrer during their time in Tibet. The movie features Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and David Thewlis in lead roles. ![]() The film tells the story of Harrer's experiences in Tibet during the period between 19. ![]() Directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud, the movie is based on the memoir of Austrian mountaineer and Schutzstaffel (SS) sergeant Heinrich Harrer.

She’d been talking…nearly flirting…with Claire’s ex!Ĭlaire had tried to make a beeline from the restroom back to Lana’s side, but her friend Darlene had intercepted her before she had taken even three steps in that direction. Abigail…Abby! Holy hell! That’s why the woman had looked so familiar. ![]() “Lana Hen-” She froze with her hand halfway extended. When the woman stopped laughing, she offered her elegant hand. If there were any flirting tonight, it would be with Claire. ![]() Not that she was opposed to flirting with this beautiful stranger, but she was supposed to be Claire’s doting girlfriend. Had they met before? Lana didn’t want to ask, because it might come across as if she were flirting. Something about the way she looked when she laughed seemed strangely familiar. The woman’s smile became an all-out laugh. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They’re fun, easy to read and hard to put down, and best of all, they have a lot of heart. Bluntly put, Dreadnought and Sovereign are popcorn books-and I mean that in the best way possible. All that is overshadowed, however, by how the books manage to balance the union of both trans and superhero narrative. I could pretty easily guess that Dreadnought and Sovereign are the author’s first novels a few expository and dialogue choices stand out a bit awkwardly, and I simply can’t believe the characters are as young as the text claims them to be. With her life upended and her family providing its own challenges, Danielle has to figure out who she wants to be with the whole world watching. The sudden superpowers speed up her transition, but bring with them a host of pressures, judgements, and expectations from both the heroes and villains of the city alike. It’s during just such a superfight that the mantle and powers of one of the world’s strongest heroes, Dreadnought, are unexpectedly passed (another comic book trope, I’m pretty sure) to trans teenager Danielle Tozer. The books are set in a comic-book-esque modern day, where supervillains appear in history textbooks and it’s not unusual to see flying strongmen punch antimatter androids above the downtown skyline. I’m not all that into superheroes-I don’t really read comic books, I don’t follow superhero media-but I really enjoyed both Dreadnought and its sequel Sovereign by April Daniels. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Rachel Hauck enchants us again!

Most of these phenomena were not new or shocking to me (as someone who works in tech), but I enjoyed Wiener’s liberal arts perspective on them. She was astounded by what she found: the constant gospel of work as the most important part of life, men who are overly confident about their own ideas, open bars, the 24 hour hustle, the dress code of company branded hoodies, God Mode, camping trips with no actual camping, childish company names, companies ran by people in their 20s, an office reception that is a replica of the Oval Office… the book is full of these on point details. It touched me, because I love books and don’t want them disrupted.Īt 25, Wiener left her life in Brooklyn, New York for San Francisco, to go work in the Valley. Making books shorter will effectively increase the rate at which we can learn.” This tweet from a start-up founder is quoted in Anna Wiener’s hilarious memoir Uncanny Valley, in which she tears apart the “dreary efficiency fetish” of the San Francisco tech scene, among other things. “It’s unfortunate that the world does not reward conciseness more. ![]() ![]() Rachel Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author of Hex Hall and Demonglass “Lyrical and thought-provoking, Incarnate is the kind of book that stays with you long after you’ve turned the last page. But I guess in a fictional world, anything is possible."
