Of course, both nature and nurture have a role to play. With some basic algebra, we can disentangle how much the extra similarity matters, and from that how much parenting and the rest of the environment do too. The laws of biology give us siblings with half of their DNA in common, and others who are identical. What can we ever know? Well, through studying adopted children and twins, it turns out quite a lot. Nature versus nurture through most of history must have seemed like a philosophical or even theological question. As a teenager (I think? Maybe early 20s?), I read The Blank Slate, and it fully convinced me that genes are really important, while parenting isn’t. Few have influenced my thought as extensively as Steven Pinker. Its essence is dark magical realism that throws into question the nature of what it is to be human. When two women, an amnesiac albino giantess and a woman called The Crab, arrive in this South American desert town, their otherworldly allure and unfettered sensuality and turns men into wild animals.Ī modern day Kafka story on hallucinogens, with strong doses of mysticism and horror, Albina and the Dog Men reads like an ancient folk tale whispered at night, fused with an urgent critique of contemporary society. Written with the stunning vision and cinematic flair he brought to his cult 1970s psychedelic freak-out films El Topo and Holy Mountain, Jodorowsky turns the classic stranger-comes-to-town narrative on its head in his novel Albina and the Dog Men. A darkly funny, surreal novel set in Chile and Peru, Albina and the Dog Men is Alejandro Jodorowsky’s sprawling modern myth in which sexual desire appears as a dangerous and generative force that mutates and transforms, unraveling identities and rending the social and moral fabric of a small town.

The author, Katherine Longshore, did a great job with sticking to a lot of the historical facts that took place during this time period. Gilt was a great book to jump in and focus on the life of his teenage wife, Catherine Howard. He’s not my favorite king to read about, but there’s always something about his selfish choices and his numerous wives that lead to fascinating stories. And even though I didn’t love the book, I still enjoyed it. I love historical novels, but when it comes to King Henry VIII’s life being fictionalized, I usually cringe. This month, the book club that I am part of picked Gilt as our March read. LINKS: Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | The Book Depository But court is also full of secrets, lies, and sordid affairs, and as Kitty witnesses Cat’s meteoric rise and fall as queen, she must figure out how to keep being a good friend when the price of telling the truth could literally be her head. No longer stuck in Cat’s shadow, Kitty’s now caught between two men–the object of her affection and the object of her desire. When Kitty Tylney’s best friend, Catherine Howard, worms her way into King Henry VIII’s heart and brings Kitty to court, she’s thrust into a world filled with fabulous gowns, sparkling jewels, and elegant parties. Genres: Young Adult, Historical Fiction, Romance And Cannie - who never knew that Bruce saw her as a "larger woman," or thought that loving her was an act of courage - is plunged into misery.Īfter this public humiliation, Cannie embarks on a series of hilarious and heartbreaking adventures. Loving a larger woman is an act of courage in our world, Bruce writes. But when she opens up a national women's magazine to find out that her ex-boyfriend Bruce has been chronicling their former sex life, her life goes into turmoil. She is a smart and sharp pop culture reporter who was perfectly content writing about other people's lives in the pages of the Philadelphia Examiner. The heroine of "Good in Bed," Jennifer Weiner's debut novel, is Cannie Shapiro. But just reading the prologue put my hackles up. Not only an interesting subject but one I have a personal interest in as I had some involvement in artificial intelligence many moons ago. As the subtitle puts it, this is the quest for the ultimate learning machine that will remake our world. Pedro Domingos takes us into the world of computer programs that solve problems through learning, exploring everything from back propagating neural networks to Bayesian algorithms, looking for the direction in which we might spot the computing equivalent of the theory of everything, the master algorithm that can do pretty much anything that can be done with a computer (Turing proved a long time ago that there will always be some things that can't). I am really struggling to remember a book that has irritated me as much as this one, which is a shame because it's on a very interesting and significant subject.
