No matter how mistreated you think you have been, it's never okay to act out in revenge against those who have hurt you, and especially those who you think are "like" the ones that hurt you. This book delivers a very timely message disguised under a lighthearted veneer. Considering the current national conversation surrounding politics and everything else, It's time we learned that we ALL are capable of fears, insecurities, tender feelings, and unrequited love, regardless of whatever category you think defines you. Update: I've finished reading the book, sans narration, and I have to give it 4 stars at least. It was distracting, and I wasn't having fun. ![]() The narration caused me to view the characters as irredeemably shallow and immature. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If he recognizes her, the demons of her past will surely erupt.

Most men would be thrilled to learn they've inherited a title and estate from a distant relative, but Daniel is appalled because the burden of wealth will interfere with his medical calling. Viewed as a saint by those who know him, in his own mind he never quite manages to live up to his own high standards.

I still continually quiz people for recommendations but settled on a few people I really trust for recs, based on what they recommended before, or what they themselves have written. Here’s how this year’s book reading breaks down: I had to read them in school but appreciate them much more as a grown-up. I also got back to reading classics from giants - Philip Roth, James Baldwin, Joan Didion. My book club kept things in balance with random nonfiction picks, like the Patagonia founder’s business book-slash-memoir, which really affected the way I think about consumption. I continued to select non-white and/or non-male authors, which paid off.

As he tried to figure out a way to make acquaintance with her, out of the snuff-box emerged a little black goblin who warned the soldier and asked him to stop desiring what did not belong to him, namely, the ballerina who was way beyond his reach, but the soldier, mesmerized and bewitched in his love, paid no heed. Finding her to be as “different” as him, he instantly fell in love with her and decided at that very moment that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her by his side. This one-legged soldier, as he looked around and saw all the other things, saw among those playthings a beautiful paper ballerina who had one of her legs raised so high that it appeared as if she too had only one leg. One amongst them was slightly different from the rest as being made at the very end, there was not enough metal left for him and hence, he had only one leg. Made out of the same tin spoon, all the twenty-five soldiers presented a royal picture as they stood straight in their splendid red and blue uniform. The story begins with the description of the tin soldiers received by a little boy on his birthday. ![]() |
