Litro | a little London literary magazine with a big worldview. The Art of Manliness | Men’s Interests and Lifestyle We Find Wildness Fahrenheit 451 Characteristics of Dystopian Literature by Shelly Horvath on Prezi L'accessibilité | Pierre Foglia | Pierre Foglia Soyez heureux, cette chronique parlera d'éducation, de la mienne d'abord mais avec le projet de faire le lien avec la vôtre, surtout avec celle dont vous rêvez pour vos enfants. J'ai grandi dans une maison sans livres, sauf deux ou trois sur les animaux que lisait et relisait mon père. J'ai fréquenté l'école républicaine française où des instituteurs qui portaient de longues blouses grises nous donnaient de vigoureuses gifles qui laissaient longtemps la marque de leurs doigts sur nos joues. Mais en fait, mon éducation tient surtout à deux événements fortuits qui m'ont marqué pour la vie. Le deuxième événement est survenu à la fin du primaire, après trois mois dans un centre d'apprentissage où je m'étais inscrit en mécanique automobile. Plus serein, sûrement. Ai-je précisé que je ne suis jamais allé à l'université ? Vous savez bien qu'il vous faudrait aujourd'hui passer par l'université pour devenir journaliste... Qui vous parle de journalisme ? Ma fille est en psychologie à McGill...

This is the Skull Appreciation Society - Welcome to a World of SkullsWELCOME TO A WORLD OF SKULLS | A blog dedicated to bringing you skulls in all shapes and forms. Best Dystopian Science Fiction Books Everyone loves the idea of the thinking man's fireman (particularly middle aged women who read Fifty Shades of Grey), but that's not why Fahrenheit 451 made it to second on this list. Bradbury made his bread and butter with short horror stories, but also wrote one of the most popular dystopian science-fiction novels. Why is it so popular? It's definitely the most accessible dystopian science fiction novel -the science is soft and easy to digest, the word count is short, and the theme of society's dependence on technology is so subtle that it probably goes over the heads of many contemporary readers who are busy plugged into their iPhones, iPads, and whatever else they have in their sockets and ears -they're too busy staring at their screens to realize it's a metaphor. Oh, and lots of action. Who doesn't love fire, chases, and explosions? The novel follows Guy Montag, in a dystopian American society where books and intellectual thought are banned.
The Course of My Studies Part One | Walking the Hedge “At the very dawn of religion, God was a woman. Do you remember?” – From: When God Was a Woman by Merlin Stone, 1931 – 2011 Like many Pagans, Merlin Stone’s book was amongst the first I found. This is a blog post I have been considering writing for a little while now. My first literary foray into Magick, Witchcraft and Paganism came from fairy tales of course; Jack and the Bean Stalk, Disney, Mom reading ‘The Hobbit” to us. There was also a small amount of traditions and lore passed on from family members and friends of the family as well. This is how you tell which direction you are facing, this kind of moss can be packed into wounds, don’t mess with the well-head you idiots. The cat likes to sleep in the lavender patch because it’s soothing. These are moose tracks and those are deer tracks. The little witch gets hung in the kitchen because she’s always hung in the kitchen. You can climb the oak tree kids, but not the rowan. You can eat these berries but not those.
