![]() ![]() ![]() While ultimately the reading order doesn’t matter (just read them!) I believe publication order is the best. How did you read the Narnia books? Have you read them in multiple orders? I need to know the best order for a Narnia newbie.Īpologies for resurrecting such an old thread but anytime I see this subject come up I have to chime in. I’ve read compelling arguments for all three orders… but I still have no idea! I mean, I’m kind of leaning most towards the publication order, but I don’t know if it’s the best!! Plus, the Barnes and Noble leatherbound classic (from Kimberly!!) has them in chronological order. What on Earth am I supposed to do? This is worse than the Star Wars movies. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (1950) ![]() There’s the supposed chronological order:ġ. There’s the order in which they were written: I’m about to begin this series for the first time ever, and I have seen the controversy over what order to read the books in. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Janet Morris and Chris Morris later produced two more authorized Thieves' World novels and a series of related novels about their character Tempus and the Sacred Band of Stepsons. Many of the authors later produced novels and stories of the theme which were not included in the anthologies, beginning with Beyond Sanctuary by Janet Morris, the first "authorized" Thieves World novel, published in 1985. Early writing Īsprin's first novel, The Cold Cash War, an expansion of an earlier short story of the same title, was published in 1977.ĭuring the next few years, he created and edited (with his then-wife, Lynn Abbey) the Thieves' World series of shared world anthologies, credited as the first project of its type. ![]() In 1976, he was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation for The Capture, a cartoon slide show written by Asprin and drawn by Phil Foglio. He was also the initiator and an influential member of the Dorsai Irregulars. He was active in science fiction fandom and in the early years of the Society for Creative Anachronism using the name "Yang the Nauseating", and co-initiated the society Great Dark Horde during 1971. He was married, twice, and had two children. From 1965 through 1966 he served in the United States Army. Johns, Michigan, and attended the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, Michigan from 1964 through 1965.

Though the true experts might tinker with cuts of meat in different combinations, a good starting position is with fat percentages. Your basic weekend BBQ griller might just grab the nearest package of ground beef at the grocery store, but somebody with high culinary aspirations obsesses over proportions. ![]() ![]() ![]() He taught that the mind must recognize and penetrate its own state of being-not "being this or that, here or there, then or now," but just timeless being.Ī simple man, Maharaj was a householder and petty storekeeper in Bombay where he lived and died in 1981 at the age of 84. ![]() ![]() It was his mission to guide the individual to an understanding of his true nature and the timelessness of being. The sage's sole concern was with the human suffering and the ending of suffering. I Am That preserves his dialogs with the followers who came from around the world seeking guidance in destroying false identities. His message was simple, direct, and sublime. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj was a teacher who did not propound any ideology or religion, but gently unwrapped the mystery of the self. I Am That (first published in 1973) continues to draw new audiences and to enlighten seekers anxious for self-realization. This collection of the timeless teachings of one of the greatest sages of India, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, is a testament to the uniqueness of the seer's life and work and is regarded by many as a modern spiritual classic. You do not need to have the book or do any reading beforehand for this event. ![]() This event will repeat every Sunday until the book is finished. Sections will be read and there will be pauses for discussion. We will read and discuss I Am That by Nisargadatta Maharaj. ![]() ![]() Crocker's rather imperial tone is also hard to miss when he speaks of the "mob". ![]() Crocker himself is perhaps not entirely free of traces of a colonial mindset when he offers this criticism, and which can be seen emerging occasionally throughout the book, as when he speaks of the "Indian mind" - usually negatively. He perceives Nehru's hastiness as having shown unfortunate results in many decolonised states, which have seen dictatorships emerge - and India itself is seen in danger of failing to sustain parliamentary democracy. However, while not giving it much credit initially, Crocker mentions the lack of real alternatives to non-alignment available to a person in Nehru's place, and counts it as one of his contributions to world peace.Ĭrocker also criticizes Nehru for being "too hasty" in his pursuit of decolonisation and independence. Non-alignment is perhaps treated unfairly by Crocker, who at times reads it as myopic. In our day and age, when Nehru's name invites only disparagement and criticism, this sympathy is perhaps a desirable reminder to look at history with not only a critical eye, but also with sympathy and understanding. ![]() In its judiciousness, however, it does not forget to treat Nehru with compassion. Crocker's Nehru is a judicious and measured account of the first prime minister of independent India. ![]() ![]() Walked into Helen’s office this morning certain she was going to fire me.

Many are comfortable overlooking decades of socially enforced fear and disgust toward gays and lesbians. Maybe they think racism ended with Martin Luther King, Jr. Or, that queer teens are no longer forced into homelessness by homophobic parents. Progressives may think that Pride festivals sponsored by Amazon mean kids aren’t bullied and called “fag,” anymore. But it doesn’t erase the inescapable pressures and fears that led up that moment and continue our whole lives. I told my mom I was queer at a drag show in San Francisco. The hardest part of watching Alison Bechdel, Lisa Kron, and Jeanine Tesori’s Tony award winning “Fun Home” for me was the brief moment I began to think, “Wow, things have gotten so much better for the queer community.” But then I recall the President, the Pulse massacre in Orlando, and the countless friends I’ve seen struggle to come out.
