![]() ![]() But Harrison doesn’t make it easy for readers to like his novel. I actually, quite surprisingly, enjoyed this book. If I sound overly critical, however, I am not. Truth be told, this last sentence is something I could put in my every other review, so there’s that ). While ostensibly there is a story, even one in two timelines, it’s more of an allegory, burdened down with heavy symbolism and filled with characters who were created with an ulterior motive. ![]() ![]() One thing I can attest to, though, is that it has a great ending.Īpart from this, however, Harrison’s Light is an uneven concoction of seemingly disparate elements: effusive technobabble and slick, brutal cyberpunk cant go hand in hand with mysticism worthy of the best – or at least most murky – of the New Age prophets. It’s built like a card trick: a lengthy setup with a short, delightful payoff. If I were to characterize it in just a few words, I’d say it’s a prologue 300 pages long. Another review that I find hard to write but it must be said that it is an unusual book. ![]() ![]() ![]() This revised and updated edition continues that mission with new information and advanced research, demystifying and decoding the science of sex so that everyone can create a better sex life and discover more pleasure than you ever thought possible. In the years since the book’s initial publication, countless women have learned through Nagoski’s accessible and informative guide that things like stress, mood, trust, and body image are not peripheral factors in a woman’s sexual well-being they are central to it - and that even if you don’t always feel like it, you are already sexually whole by just being yourself. ![]() ![]() That is, until Emily Nagoski’s Come As You Are, which used groundbreaking science and research to prove that the most important factor in creating and sustaining a sex life filled with confidence and joy is not what the parts are or how they’re organized but how you feel about them. A revised and updated edition of Emily Nagoski’s game-changing New York Times best seller Come As You Are, featuring new information and research on mindfulness, desire, and pleasure that will radically transform your sex life.įor much of the 20th and 21st centuries, women’s sexuality was an uncharted territory in science, studied far less frequently - and far less seriously - than its male counterpart. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is a lazy and cheap way to do an audio-recording and all you end up with is an ugly, deformed homunculus of the original. I also had the Audible/audio version which I debated about listening to because it was abridged and I really hate abridged books (in any format). My edition was a 4th printing, 1st Edition from 1998. ![]() Weight in: I read the hardback version of Remnick's book, which was 306 pages (326 with acknowledgement, sources, and index). And I'm the greatest sleeper of all time. But the Man and the book will have to wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow I will take on this book and take my piece in three rounds. He was a butterfly that Nabokov couldn't catch or pin. I'm coming with the majesty of Muhammad Ali. I know Remick's words better than his mamma knows him. Of course he wrote it, because the words ran from him. I know the words better than Remnick could hope to ever know it. I beat people up." - Muhammad Ali Pre-Review Smack Talk: I will review this sucker tomorrow.
