![]() In the Caveat Emptor, Ferguson describes his book: Happiness tells the story of a self-help book that causes the end of the world (as we know it). Happiness won the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour in 2002. I am currently reading Canadian Pie as a tertiary book (because it can easily be read that way), and I have just finished reading Happiness, a novel formerly known as Generica. That just made me more curious to check out his funny stuff. There were some disturbing scenes in that book. I was impressed with it, as it opened my eyes to the world of scamming, and the visions of oil-slicked Niger Delta still torment me. Because I don’t often read funny books or travel books, 419 was the first book I read by Ferguson. ![]() ![]() In 2012, he won the Scotiabank Giller Prize with his novel 419, which is anything but humorous. Some of his best known books include How to Be A Canadian, Beauty Tip s From Moosejaw, and 419. Will Ferguson is a Canadian writer who is well known for his humorous travel writing and observations about Canadian culture. ![]() ![]() ![]() Accentuating the neutrality of the Qur’an’s position, it is suggested that over successive centuries the discussion of the crucifixion within the Islamic tradition was proportionately evolved to accommodate the doctrine of denial in a way which obscured the neutrality of the original Qur’anic position. This fascinating work is the product of many years of scholarship. ![]() The cover calligraphy, by Burhan Zahrai, is of Qur’án 53, the Súrat al-najm or Chapter of the Star, verse 11: مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰ “The heart lied not of what it saw.” The Quran here is a door to an “abode of glory” and an abiding spiritual encounter with the divine through the prophet, his daughter Fāṭima and the twelve Imams of Ithna-ʿasharī Shiʿism who inhabit the letters, words, verses and suras of the Book. In this earliest of the Báb’s extended works, written before his public claim to be the return of the hidden Imam, the act of reading is shown to be something akin to holy communion in which the sacred text is both entrance upon and destination of the mystic quest. ![]() Lawson shows how the Quran may be engaged with for meaning and understanding, the usual goal of mystical exegesis, and also how it may be engaged with through tafsīr in a quest for spiritual or mystical experience. ![]() ![]() ![]() ( Oops.) And now there’s a rumor that the original evil Librarian, Biblioden, has been spotted, but that can’t be true-he founded his dark cult centuries ago. But the Talents already destroyed one entire civilization, so he has to be stopped-even if I did accidentally break all the Talents during the battle. My father has this crazy idea about giving everyone in the world the Smedry Talents, and he’s convinced that ancient books in the Library of Congress hold the secret. I already infiltrated one library, so a bigger one shouldn’t be that hard, right? ( Help!) The antidote is locked away in the heart of evil Librarian power-the Library of Congress.

Practically all critics of War and Peace have interpreted the Second Epilogue as an aberration in the work that distracts from the merits of the novel. ![]() Other critics have claimed an organizational principle does exist in the novel-whether certain characters or specific literary techniques-but agree with their colleagues that the Second Epilogue mars Tolstoy’s masterpiece. Some have found it troublesome for its lack of structure, and especially point to the Second Preface which outlines a philosophy of history that distracts from the novel’s artistic achievements. Although nearly all have admired Tolstoy’s War and Peace since its publication, critics have been divided over whether the novel has an organizational principle. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kudos to Napoli for pulling such a voice off! Secondly, the picture of the high school and friendships and relationships was so accurate. Sep is like any other teenager, overwhelmed by events, always unsure. Any young girl in such a situation would be angry and try to come up with as many solutions to her problems as she can. I enjoyed this book because of two reasons. Sep, (real name: Guiseppina) has gotten a skin disorder named vitiligo that has white spots appearing all over body. Whoever says that appearances don’t matter, clearly doesn’t know much about high school. Skin is about a sixteen year old who wakes up one day to find her lips gone completely white.
