I learned that Italo Calvino has a brilliant mind ...

After reading the novel and loving it, I knew that I HAD to read the graphic novel as well, so as to compare them. The original novel won out as will every novel when compared to that of a graphic novel (in my opinion) but the graphic novel did stand up a fair ways on its own. The illustrations helped the mind actually capture the characters. Although some of which were drawn entirely different than what I had initially envisioned whilst reading the actual novel. But alas, we all have our own way of picturing things so I cannot fault anyone. I do recommend this graphic novel to all who are fans of them in general but if you are not, the original novel will definitely suffice.

I’ve read 'politics as a vocation' and 'science as a vocation' so far. I picked this up on a recommendation as a philosopher who does it better than RW Emerson. (Read this and you can’t help but acknowledge that German Idealism is vastly superior to American transcendalism was the recommendation). The similarities and differences with Emerson are mildly striking. First, they are both lectures, most of emerson's writing evolved as speeches, and while I don't know if that’s true for Weber, these two essays make it seem plausible. While the tone is very different, the emphasis on positive action and personal responsibility seems to be at the forefront for both philosophers. I found both of the essays to be very good, though I did breeze over the middle section of both of them where he compares differing aspects of politics and science in different countries. Someone studying the rise of nazism or the failure of america intellectualism might be very interested in it, but I'm not really. However there are some truly astounding sections, and his early dissection of political motivation seems very astute. The 2nd and 3rd pages of Politics are full of great lines, Like “the mores sanctified through the unimaginable ancient recognition and habitual orientation to conform” and “obedience is determined by highly robust motives of fear and hope”. 79 In general I found his asides to be highlights. I like that his life philosophy (for lack of a better term) is only viewable in their tangential relationship to the points in the essay; he never engages with them directly. For instance on page 117, he is talking about vain power politicians and says of them, “[they] are a product of shoddy and superficially blasé attitude towards the meaning of human conduct; and it has no relation whatsoever to the knowledge of tragedy with which all action, but especially political action, is truly interwoven.” This line is buried in the excellent concluding 15 pages of Politics, which stretches back to the discussion of “sterile excitation… . “ is a ‘romanticism of the intellectually interesting’ running into emptiness devoid of all feeling of objective responsibility.” on page 115, which is a pithy summary of some of problems with academic thought . That’s amazing, as his discussion of Tolstoy and the meaning of death on page 140. With regards to contrasts with Emerson, this passage is the most interesting. What I have found so compelling about Emerson is his exploration of our ties to the natural world, our fundamental alienation forcing us to seek redemption within ourselves. Almost a Buddhist philosophy. Weber gets into something similar here, and I haven’t had the time to parse this section (138-44) adequately.

I was also around 12 years old when I read her books. I remember the excitement of reading these books and hoping my mother never read them, so that I didn't get in trouble.

The Beginning Of After is probably one of the most heartbreaking books I've ever read, full of raw and powerful emotions that had me in uncontrollable tears more than a few times while reading. Laurel has an extremely realistic life. Castle's depiction of the average teenage girl is pretty much spot on, but once the grieving began, the realism kind of cracked for me. Despite being beautifully written and very intense with the feelings, there was just something crucial missing. I would read these gut-wrenching scenes and where I'd be devastated and crying, Laurel would be calm and numb. I just didn't understand why Laurel wasn't acting the way that I was. Why wasn't this horrible tragedy affecting her as much as it was affecting me? That's what wasn't there; that connection, that personal mindset where all of Laurel's coldness and numbness comes from. I've read a lot of reviews that comment on the drifting plot of this book, not appreciating that Laurel didn't have some kind of a grieving process or journey or something to keep us readers on our toes. For me, personally, I loved that she didn't. I felt like it was a lot more authentic with Laurel aimlessly trudging through the novel. It was really a reading experience to follow along with her as she tries to figure out everything day by day, not having any clue how to get over the wreckage that had just occured. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't need some set, complex plot. This is a story about getting over a tragedy and Jennifer Castle soared above my expectations. Overall, The Beginning Of After is a heavyhearted, moving tale of loss and love and getting over the sorrow that comes with it. It tugged at my heartstrings, making me feel for these characters who were going through so much at such a young age. I definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for something intense and emotionally powerful!

This is my second time through this book. Very interesting premise, memorable characters and concepts. It is divided into five parts, and I enjoy part 1 and most of part 2. In part 2 it starts to get preachy, which increases throughout parts 3, 4 and 5, especially regarding property, sex and God -- a mix of hippie "free love" concepts and the "all is one" theme of most Eastern religion. There was a surprisingly postmodern theme for how long ago this was written. Anyway, I found some of that tedious, but I still recommend it. Also, I have been curious about some of the author's more famous work and will probably check it out.

You know that feeling, when something really sad happens, when you can't seem to take a full breath, and your chest hurts? All through this book I fought to breathe. Poor Jordan HAS to rely on the kindness of strangers, because both parents are monsters. Sarah and her boys, Nate and Danny, are dealing with the death of their husband and father, supported by the neighbors, Courtney and Mark. But the neighbors' secrets blow the town, and Sarah's family sky high. Sexual depravity and molestation, with their own son Jordan as the victim. All the unspeakable things happen to Jordan before the book begins, but as Sarah and Nate and the reader discover how horrible the abuse was, we sink deeper and deeper into the abyss. Nate convinces Sarah to become Jordan's foster mother with both parents in jail, since she's always taught her boys to reach out to others in need. We just didn't have any idea how needy Jordan is. I literally groaned reading this, knowing it is fiction, but for some children this is their life. Kittle uses robins and mama birds and nests to bring her story full circle. This is one that will haunt me for a long time...I know that is her plan. Important book!
