Nemo rarely gets a good night's sleep, but he certainly isn't tormented by Freudian angst. With Little Nemo in Slumberland, his groundbreaking newspaper comic, he presented a dream world that was as sublime as it was reassuring to his Edwardian readers. He didn't bring intellectual theories to the fight, but something more potent: beauty. It was 1905, hot on the heels of Freud's supremely unsettling The Interpretation of Dreams, and the cartoonist was Winsor McCay. Once, a cartoonist went to battle for dreamland. ![]() Your purchase helps support NPR programming.

You’ll learn all about crypto and you’ll learn about what screwed up market structure in the United States and so on,” Lewis continued. It’ll be about this really unusual character. “I guess it is possible it will be framed as a crypto book, but it won’t be a crypto book. “But I found a character through whom I can write about.” “I really don’t want to reveal exactly what I’m writing about,” Lewis said.

For me Ravished was finally narrated properly and I thoroughly enjoyed the listen. Hi everyone This is the book club discussion for Ravished by Amanda Quick - a historical romance with a bluestocking fossil-hunting heroine and a grumpy hero with a soft spot. If I can't "hear" that classic Quick hero then the books are not worth listening to. Quick has never written that type of a hero! They may be firm and try to remain cold in trying to come to grips with the feisty heroines but they are always besotted and indulgent right from the start. Flosnick ruined them for me with her harsh/cruel interpretation of the heroes. To say I was totally underwhelmed by Flosnick's narration of the three "S" series of books is an understatement. I haven't listened to the other two in the "R" series as I'm afraid of wasting more credits as I did with the three "S" series of books. ![]() To hate Flosnick's interruption of the heroes personalities until Ravished was very disappointing. ![]() Finally Anne Flosnick catches the right tone with Amanda Quick's Ravished! She was, at last, able to get the hero's proper attitude down! Yes haughty and cold (for good reason) but totally besotted and indulgent with the heroine from the very beginning, just as all of Quick's heroes are! Quick has long been a favorite author for me so to see her earlier books coming out on audio was exciting. ![]() |
