For this occasion the University of Pennsylvania Press will publish a special edition of Franklin's Autobiography, including a new preface by University president Amy Gutmann and an introduction by distinguished scholar Peter Conn. Each year, for the past fifteen years, the University of Pennsylvania has chosen a single work that the entire incoming class, and a large segment of the faculty and staff, read and discuss together. On the eve of the tercentenary of Franklin's birth, the university he founded has selected the Autobiography for the Penn Reading Project. ![]() In 1771, at the age of 65, he sat down to write his autobiography, "having emerged from the poverty and obscurity in which I was born and bred to a state of affluence and some degree of reputation in the world, and having gone so far through life with a considerable share of felicity." The result is a classic of American literature. Printer and publisher, author and educator, scientist and inventor, statesman and philanthropist, Benjamin Franklin was the very embodiment of the American type of self-made man. ![]()

Despite some of its flaws, I hope you read this and fall in love with it as I have! Goodreads Synopsis Basically, readers seem to either love it or don’t. The magic system is weak, and there is definitely a Special Snowflake trope that might drive you crazy. People are pretty divisive over this book. I still feel all the fluttery excited feels each time I start a reread of this. So without further ado, here is my original review I had posted to Goodreads. It’s full of creepy forest atmosphere, political intrigue, and the most heart-pounding romance (even though the romance is only about 10% of this book). I absolutely fell in love with this book and have reread it many times. If you didn’t know, Uprooted is my favorite book ever. I can’t believe I didn’t post this review here sooner. Since I launched my blog after I read this book, I’ve been backdating past reviews I posted to Goodreads. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() His solo career included work as a film actor, television game show emcee, and author of Groucho and Me, his autobiography. ![]() Groucho Marx, enjoyed a sensational career on Broadway and in Hollywood with such comedy classics as Animal Crackers, Duck Soup, and A Night at the Opera. 3 proves his genius as a detective-he seizes on the clue that reveals the death to be murder. About the Author: As a member of the Marx Brothers, Julius (1895-1977), a.k.a. An important contribution to the history of show business and to the saga of American comedy and comedians, comics and comicality.-James Thurber With impeccable timing, outrageous humor, irreverent wit, and a superb sense of the ridiculous, Groucho tells the saga of the Marx Brothers: the poverty of their childhood in New York's Upper East Side the crooked world of small-time vaudeville (where they learned to carry blackjacks) how a pretzel magnate and the graceless dancer of his dreams led to the Marx Brothers' first Broadway hit, I'll Say She Is! how the stock market crash in 1929 proved a godsend for Groucho (even though he lost nearly a quarter of a million dollars) the adventures of the Marx Brothers in Hollywood, the making of their hilarious films, and Groucho's triumphant television series, You Bet Your Life! Here is the life and lunatic times of the great eccentric genius, Groucho, a.k.a. ![]() ![]() Everything ends happily, as you’d expect from a comedy. The plan almost works, but thankfully the King shows up, and, being a better judge of character than Orgon, recognises Tartuffe for the hypocritical cad that he is and has him arrested. ![]() He throws Tartuffe out of his house Tartuffe tries to get his revenge by compiling a list of trumped-up charges against Orgon, in the hopes that Orgon will lose his house and Tartuffe will be given it instead. ![]() It is only when Tartuffe finally turns up on stage (not until Act 3) and Orgon, concealed under the table, observes Tartuffe’s attempted seduction of Elmire with his own eyes that he realises he’s been had by a rogue. His own son, Damis, even points out to Orgon that Tartuffe is trying to seduce Orgon’s own wife, Elmire.īut Orgon will hear nothing against the sainted Tartuffe. Although Orgon’s family try to make him see sense, he refuses to acknowledge that he has fallen under the spell of the roguish Tartuffe. Orgon is prepared to marry his own daughter, Mariane, to Tartuffe, even though Mariane is in love with (and betrothed to) someone already. Orgon has allowed himself to be duped by a fraud, Tartuffe, who hypocritically pretends to be pious and holier-than-thou, but is really a scoundrel who wishes to take advantage of the gullible Orgon. The plot of Tartuffe is easy enough to summarise. ![]() ![]() "I want to be a bad example." 'The Lie Tree' is a fascinating book. Her books may be inexplicably classified under an umbrella of 'children's literature', but they have managed to keep me enthralled and in all honesty are no more solely children's books than any of the classics with the sub-adult characters (think your Huck Finn, Holden Caulfield and Scout Finch, for instance). They have it all - the spark, the snark, the depth, the skill and everything else that makes me smile happily when I go to reread them for the third time in a year. She is one of those writers that make me want to happily give the shout-outs to their books from the rooftops and endlessly blab about them to anyone who would listen. ![]() Frances Hardinge is one of my most treasured literary finds of the past few years. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While Rashid is attempting to buy their tickets, Haroun meets Mr. When Rashid takes the stage in the Town of G, he opens his mouth and all that comes out is, "ark ark ark."
