Franz Kafka, frustrated with his living quarters and day job, wrote in a letter to Felice Bauer in 1912, “time is short, my strength is limited, the office is a horror, the apartment is noisy, and if a pleasant, straightforward life is not possible then one must try to wriggle through by subtle maneuvers.”   Kafka is one of 161 inspired—and inspiring—minds, among them, novelists, poets, playwrights, painters, philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians, who describe how they subtly maneuver the many (self-inflicted) obstacles and (self-imposed) daily rituals to get done the work they love to do, whether by waking early or staying up late; whether by self-medicating with doughnuts or bathing, drinking vast quantities of coffee, or taking long daily walks. Thomas Wolfe wrote standing up in the kitchen, the top of the refrigerator as his desk, dreamily fondling his “male configurations”. . . Jean-Paul Sartre chewed on Corydrane tablets (a mix of amphetamine and aspirin), ingesting ten times the recommended dose each day . . . Descartes liked to linger in bed, his mind wandering in sleep through woods, gardens, and enchanted palaces where he experienced “every pleasure imaginable.” Here are: Anthony Trollope, who demanded of himself that each morning he write three thousand words (250 words every fifteen minutes for three hours) before going off to his job at the postal service, which he kept for thirty-three years during the writing of more than two dozen books . . . Karl Marx . . . Woody Allen . . . Agatha Christie . . . George Balanchine, who did most of his work while ironing . . . Leo Tolstoy . . . Charles Dickens . . . Pablo Picasso . . . George Gershwin, who, said his brother Ira, worked for twelve hours a day from late morning to midnight, composing at the piano in pajamas, bathrobe, and slippers . . . Here also are the daily rituals of Charles Darwin, Andy Warhol, John Updike, Twyla Tharp, Benjamin Franklin, William Faulkner, Jane Austen, Anne Rice, and Igor Stravinsky (he was never able to compose unless he was sure no one could hear him and, when blocked, stood on his head to “clear the brain”). |

Est-il possible de se réconcilier avec un être cher au-delà la mort ? Comment faire le deuil d’un père avec lequel les relations étaient douloureuses, lorsque colère, souffrance et violence du vide se mélangent sans nuances, et qu’aucune croyance religieuse ne vient à la rescousse ? Pour autant, son ombre plane. L’absent se manifeste par une multitude de signes venus d’un ailleurs inconnu. Son omniprésence devient palpable. Peu à peu, les convictions cartésiennes sont ébranlées, les émotions se transforment et glissent imperceptiblement vers un apaisement, de la douceur et de la joie, une compréhension et une lente acceptation de la réalité de l’invisible. Lorsque l’ombre devient lumière, un processus de réconciliation sublime au-delà de la mort, s’amorce alors au-delà de l’absence, au-delà des dogmes et des conventions. D’une âme à une autre, dans une proximité évidente… |

51 BILLION TO ZERO  This is a summary book and complements Bill Gates’ new book, not replace it. Bill Gates wants the reader to remember two key numbers regarding climate change. The first is 51 billion. The second is zero.  Fifty-one billion is how many tons of greenhouse gases the world typically adds to the atmosphere every year. Although the figure may fluctuate annually, it most often increases. Zero greenhouse gases are what we need to dodge the worst effects of climate change. Humans need to brain up and cease pumping greenhouse gases into their surroundings. Although challenging because of scale--a grander endeavor has never before been attempted--if most countries can change their ways, we have a shot at avoiding some catastrophes. Manufacturing, farming, traveling and just about every other life activity in modern times is associated with spewing out greenhouse gases. As the global population expands, especially in India and China, so will the modern lifestyle, and so will harmful gases. Bill Gates reveals his optimism right out of the gate. He points out that we already employ some of the tools we will need, and that we can make the rest—that it’s not magic. We can make the right choices for consuming energy and foods. With a concerted and world effort on a timely basis, we can put a damper on greenhouse gas expansion. Bill Gate’s compelling book informs us about why he believes we can achieve this and what it might entail. Through his Foundation, Gates shows that he became quite familiar with technology, education, general development, including energy, and global health. Gates embedded himself in climate change issues as a result of his interest and actions involving the inadequate distribution of energy in poor countries.  Beginning around 2000, Gates visited South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa to study the major challenges like HIV, malaria, and child mortality. Gates realized that energy revealed itself as scarce when he gazed out of the windows on his flights at night and spied few lights surrounding even the largest cities. This is a summary book and complements Bill Gates’ new book, not replace it. |

The Husband's Secret - An Amazing Summary! The Husband’s Secret is a novel of betrayal, fake love, secrets and back-stabbing drama, written by Liane Moriarty.  It is actually a modern novel about three women, who are involved by the murder case of a young girl, which occurred almost thirty years prior to the story of the novel.  The main protagonist of the novel is a woman named Cecilia Fitzpatrick, who believes that she lives in a perfect life—a life totally under control. However, her picture of perfection in her life is shattered to pieces, when one day, she accidentally finds a mysterious letter. This letter is addressed to her, but the author of the letter is none other than her husband John-Paul.  She should not have found this letter yet, however, it was intended for her to find it after her husband’s death, but, impatient as she is, Cecilia immediately opens the letter and reads it. What she found in that letter will change her life for good; there, her husband John-Paul confesses of killing a young woman. Cecilia is now faced with a choice; either to turn her husband in or to remain quiet and to try to protect the integrity of her family. Upon her discovery, her world is beginning to collapse; she needs to face the truth that her husband is not so perfect, loving and kind as she thought he was. The novel is fabulously written; we have a tension-filled atmosphere, a great story, and characters that will need to revise some of their opinions on certain things and persons.  The author of the novel, Liane Moriarty, wrote four more novels including Three Wishes, The Last Anniversary, What Alice Forgot, and The Hypnotist’s Love Story . Those novels were all successfully published and translated into seven languages. She also wrote Space Brigade , series for children. She lives in Sidney, with her husband, son and daughter.   |
