Tomato Nation’s Book Smarts

Here is what Sarah D. Bunting recommends reading and knowing in this piece, “Book Smarts” from tomatonation.com (up until where she writes “After you surface from “Wasteland,” you can pretty much read whatever you like.”): https://tomatonation.com/culture-and-criticism/book-smarts/

Quotes are from that piece.

I have bolded the parts I have finished doing. I added my own commentary in brackets.

“You need to know the major stories of the Old Testament: The Fall, Cain and Abel, Noah and the ark, the diaspora, all that good stuff.”

“You also need to know the story of Christ’s birth and the story of his death.”

”Skim the psalms and the Song of Solomon if you have a minute”

“[T]hen read Revelations.”

“Understand what “Shinto” means.”

“Read a little Confucius.”

“Know a few facts about Muhammad’s life.”

“Know what Martin Luther did.”

“Buy a secondhand copy of Edith Hamilton’s book of myths — or, if you have more time, Ovid’s Metamorphoses — and bone up on the Greco-Roman pantheon.”

“Learn the major figures in Nordic/Viking mythology.”

 “Don’t know the dates of the American Civil War, where the battles took place, why it started? Learn it”.

“Don’t know how long the Depression lasted, how many Americans died in the Great War, when the influenza epidemic took place? Learn it”.

“[R]ead The Odyssey or the first four books of The Aeneid…You don’t have to slog through every page of these, but at least buy the Cliff’s Notes to The Odyssey.”

“Hit the highlights of Catullus’s poems to Lesbia and Horace’s “Odes.””

“Find the existing scraps of Sappho and read those (it’ll take you five minutes, tops).”

“Know what Petronius and Apuleius wrote, but don’t bother reading them.” [Petronius wrote the satirical novel The Satyricon, and Apuleius wrote the novel The Golden Ass.]

“You should also read the greatest hits of Plato and Socrates.”

“Then make sure you know what really happens in the Oedipus cycle.”

“Know what Thucycdides and Aristophanes wrote, or at least the genre.” [The genre is history for Thucycdides and comedy or Old Comedy, the first phase of ancient Greek comedy, for Aristophanes.]

“You need to know what happens in “Beowulf.”” “You need to know what happens in “Canterbury Tales” and why it’s important as literature. The excerpts they give you in the Norton cover the subject quite nicely; there’s no need to kill yourself reading the whole thing.”

“Learn the Arthurian legend, and the Tristan/Isolde legend.”

“Read St. Augustine. It’s…a key tract on the philosophy of faith. Get as far as you can without your heart stopping.” [I emailed Sarah to ask which book she meant here and she said "I assume I was being snotty about ;) the Confessions, which is what I would have had to read for lit survey; hope that helps!"]

“You need a firm grounding in Shakespeare. I think three out of the big four — Lear, Hamlet, Othello, and Macbeth — should do you, but know what happens in all of them.”

“You should also know Twelfth Night, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, The Taming Of The Shrew, The Tempest, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and the Henry cycle, but four out of those seven will cover it; again, know which characters go where and why they’re important. Knowing that someone said “et tu, Brute” doesn’t cut it. Renting the movies is fine.”

“You also have to have read Paradise Lost…Okay, just read up until Satan’s fall.”

“Know what John Donne and Ben Jonson and Marvell did.”

“You need Wordsworth, Shelley, and Keats.”

“You need one Austen.” [I picked Pride and Prejudice.]

“You need one Dickens.” [I picked Oliver Twist.]

“You need one Twain.” [I picked The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.]

“You need as much of Whitman’s Leaves Of Grass as you can stomach”

“[P]lus When Lilacs Last By The Dooryard Bloom’d.”

“You need some Hawthorne (if you can’t bear the thought of Hester Prynne, try his short stories instead).”

“You need a smattering of Dickinson.”

“Move on to Eliot, Pound, Yeats, and Frost.”

“Try Joyce. Don’t do Ulysses alone; start a book group and get The Bloomsday Book. Dubliners is nicer.”

“After you surface from “Wasteland,” you can pretty much read whatever you like.”

Notable other things not mentioned in Tomato Nation that I read:

Here, a comic from 1989.

The Jests of Hierocles and Philagrius (also called Philogelos)

[this-daydream-is-dangerous-13]

As an elder member of this community, I know I have besties who may not have first-hand recollections of 9/11 and its impact. I have my own 9/11 story, but the one that I think best captures that day is this one, which I reread every year:

Written by Sarah D Bunting, co-founder of the late, lamented Television Without Pity, she happened to be speaking on a panel in lower Manhattan that morning and…ooof.

Happy Birthday, Don, wherever you are.

Twenty Years

For me, this is the anniversary of a sad and bleak day. For others it is so much worse. Memory is tricky and time is not linear. Twenty years can feel like twenty days.

I hope those who struggle today find solace, comfort and grace.

Sarah D. Bunting wrote this about the Columbia shuttle disaster, but I've always felt it fits just as much for the people in the towers on September 11, 2001.

"....brave men and women held their arms out and closed their eyes and believed that something would pick them up and keep them safe, and I will just assume that before the earth came up to meet them, something else came up to meet them too."

[paceyjoey2020]

Pacey and Joey] was a very appealing package for viewers. They had fun! ... [Pacey] sees Joey for who she is and thinks she’s awesome. It’s not this scripted idea like it is with Dawson. [Pacey and Joey’s relationship] was a much more mature, less manipulative idea of love than what Dawson was offering.

Als Mitbegründerin der Münchener USPD organisierte sie gemeinsam mit Kurt Eisner, Hans Unterleitner, Richard Kämpfer u. a. im Januar 1918 im Rahmen der Januarstreik-Aktionen einen Streik von ca. 3000 Münchner Munitionsfabrikarbeitern zur Durchsetzung des allgemeinen Friedens und wurde am 1.

Mi 10. März zu Rosa Luxemburg

Wissenschaftlerin gegen Parteien-Zentralismus Christian Frühm zu Rosa Luxemburg: Reformen oder Revolution? Rosa Luxemburg hat bis heute ein gefürchtete Wirkung, die als kämpferische kluge Frau im Studium der Volkswirtschaft, im Unterricht an der Parteischule der SPD, im Gefängnis und in Zeitungsredaktionen geschult wurde, wie Kurt Eisner, der mit Julian Assange als verfolgte und ermordete Journalisten Eines gemeinsam hatten: Den Blick auf die Wirklichkeit wichtiger zu nehmen als Diplomatie, Macht und Wirkung: die aktuelle Buchvorstellung zu Rosa Luxemburg steht hier: raete-muenchen.de/rosa-luxemburg-neu-zu-lesen und ein Artikel zu Rosa Luxemburg, Antonio Gramsci und Paulo Freire auf  fairmuenchen.de/rosa-luxemburg-antonio-gramsci-und-paulo-freire

Julia Killet, Fiktion und Wirklichkeit

Im Mittelpunkt der vorliegenden Dissertation steht das Rosa-Luxemburg-Bild in der deutschsprachigen Prosa von 1919 bis ins 21. Jahrhundert. Rosa Luxemburg lebt in einer entscheidenden Epoche des europäischen Sozialismus. Sie vertritt einerseits ihre sozialistische Politik mit dem Ziel, den Kapitalismus zu überwinden. Anderseits wird sie als Autorin leidenschaftlicher Liebesbriefe bekannt und als begeisterte Tier- und Naturfreundin. Diese scheinbar widersprüchlichen Charakterfacetten finden sich in verschiedenster Gewichtung auch in der über sie verfassten biographischen und literarischen Prosa wieder. BESTELLEN Radio-Gespräche zu München und Bayern Gegensprechanlage- eine Radiosendung, wie sie von Bert Brecht erträumt war: Radio zum Mitreden auf Radio LoRa München UKW 92,4 – im Netz auf www.lora924.de jeden Mittwoch live ab 21 h, meistens am 2.

Tiefrot und radikal bunt || Julia Fritzsche: Für eine neue linke Erzählung – Nautilus Flugschrift Lesung im store galore Mitschnitt bei igel-muc.de Speichern: — Medien: Audiocast – UID: 20190801 München, (IGEL | Edition Nautilus) „Eigentlich liegt der Beschiss offen zutage: Während der vergangenen zwanzig Jahre wurde Hartz IV erfunden, die Gesundheitsversorgung zusammengestrichen, die Altersvorsorge privatisiert und der Pflegenotstand verstetigt. Dazu dann das Mantra, unablässig wiederholt: Die Heimat ist bedroht, Flüchtlinge raus, Grenzen dicht, wenn die Fremden nicht wären, ginge es allen besser. Wie leicht selbst Gutsituierte die Gefühle von Bedrängung und drohendem Statusverlust – ob begründet oder beschworen – auf Schwächere umleiten, ist immer wieder erstaunlich. In der Fantasie eines homogenen Volks werden die Gegensätze zwischen Herrschenden und Beherrschten übertüncht. Und es werden Gruppen definiert, die man verachten darf.“ – Auszug aus der Rezension von Benjamin Moldenhauer auf SPIEGEL.ONLINE . Julia Fritzsche ist Trägerin des Sozialpreises 2016 und zusammen mit Sebastian Dörfler Trägerin des Pechmannpreises 2018 und des zweiten Otto-Brenner-Preises 2018 (Videos der Preisverleihungen und Interviews). Die sommerlich-urbane Einladung zu Julia Fritzsches Lesung hat der IGEL schließlich sogar bei freier Kost & Logis angenommen. Danke dafür.

Downton Abbey Character List

This is an updated list through Series 6. The original list is here, although I’ve also been updating own list in a Word Doc since 2013, which is what this is based on. Below are the characters listed in alphabetical order by last name (for the most part). Characters not ever appearing on screen are in italics. For real people mentioned, I’ve only included them if the Crawelys et al. knew them personally (references to real historical figures will be included in a separate list). While I’ve included some family members without names who are mentioned, I have left out minor characters with no names and also animals (if you need that info or have any questions on that, message me). This does include information that is only included in the S1-3 script books.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009)

Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy |

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a fantasy film directed by Terry Gilliam and written by Gilliam and Charles McKeown. The film follows a travelling theatre troupe whose leader, having made a bet with the Devil, takes audience members through a magical mirror to explore their imaginations and present them with a choice between self-fulfilling enlightenment or gratifying ignorance.

The film stars Heath Ledger, Christopher Plummer, Verne Troyer, Andrew Garfield, Lily Cole, Tom Waits, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law, though Ledger’s death one-third of the way through filming caused production to be temporarily suspended. Ledger’s role was recast with Depp, Law, and Farrell portraying transformations of Ledger’s character as he travels through a dream world; the film marks Ledger’s final film performance, and was dedicated to him and co-producer William Vince.

Outside a London pub, an elderly bearded sage named Doctor Parnassus runs a nearly-bankrupt traveling theatre troupe, which includes his teenaged daughter Valentina, a sleight-of-hand expert and barker Anton, and a dwarf assistant Percy. The troupe’s main attraction is a portal to a magical “Imaginarium”, a surreal dream world that transforms according to its participants’ own desires and offers them a choice between difficult self-fulfillment or easy ignorance. After a drunkard is swayed to the latter, Parnassus says he has lost “another one” to Mr. Nick, a suave personification of the Devil, who often appears without warning to taunt Parnassus and gloat over Parnassus’s failures. He reminds Parnassus that in three days Valentina turns 16, and her soul will belong to Mr. Nick. Hundreds of years ago, Mr. Nick tricked Parnassus into accepting immortality, after making a wager similar to his current predicament.

Ep 197: Linda Holmes

First Draft Episode #194: Linda Holmes

Linda Holmes, pop-culture critic at NPR and co-host of the Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast, is out with her debut author of Evvie Drake Starts Over. I loved what Linda had to say about how practicing appellate law helped hone her critical writing; getting used to listening to her own voice; how she manages anxiety and depression, and the difficulty in even acknowledging that she wanted to write a novel.

Links and Topics Mentioned In This Episode

I got the good NPR shirt, and the soup-sized mug, when I visited Linda to interview her at NPR headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Linda’s interview on The Hilarious World of Depression podcast

Television Without Pity, which became Previously.tv, which recently became PrimerTimer.com!

The Amazing Race was on the top of my mind when thinking about Television Without Pity

Again With This, a podcast hosted by Sarah D. Bunting and Tara Ariano, two of the founders of Television Without Pity, who do episode-by-episode recaps of Beverly Hills 90210

Stephen Thompson, one of Linda’s dear friends and co-workers, worked at The Onion before joining NPR

Linda’s writing was formerly hosted on the Monkey See blog at NPR, but that blog was sunsetted in favor of expanding the Pop Culture Happy Hour brand

Dancing with the Stars is now discussed on NPR, and that is largely due to Linda’s influence

All Songs Considered, the music-oriented NPR show and podcast that served as the inspiration for Pop Culture Happy Hour

Talk of the Nation, a live call-in show which had Linda on as a guest. She loved the spontaneity of participating in a live radio show

Linda had every intention of writing a book for National Novel Writing Month, alas her apartment flooded

Chuck Knoblauch throwing a baseball into the stands, hitting Keith Olbermann’s mother

If the yips interests you as much as it interests Linda, check out Field of Fear, a 30 for 30 mini-documentary

Before Sunrise is a movie that’s mostly talking, and is amazing, but Linda wanted Evvie Drake to have more action than that

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a TV show that brings Linda joy and is fun, but also is warm-spirited and compassionate

Audie Cornish gets a break from being a very serious NPR news reporter when she guests on Pop Culture Happy Hour

Linda uses Matt Damon growing potatoes in the film The Martian as a parable for the importance of art and culture in our lives

Sarah Burnes at The Gernert Company reps Linda (hear Sarah Burnes’ episode of First Draft with Sarah Enni here)

That’s got you wondering hasn’t it? Well … this is nowt to do with me going for a run. I’m not that daft. But I know someone who is. This weekend Mandie took part in the Spitfire 10k at RAF Cosford, which is an annual event designed to raise money for the RAF charity, specifically this year the RAF100 appeal. This is Mandie’s third year of completing the mammoth run around the RAF base so a massive well done to Mandie on completing the course and on getting her winners medal (and lovely associated t-shirt)

My contribution? Well, I went along to support her which was very nice of me as it meant getting up early on a Sunday morning. While she was doing all the running and such like, I went for a bit of a mooch around the museum. Shamefully, as it is no more than 10 miles from my house, I haven’t been here since my Dad was alive and he passed away in 1991 … Still, it was lovely to have a wander about and I will go back again for a proper visit very soon.

Funnily enough I saw a few planes. And some tanks. And missiles. As you do. Well at least you do at an RAF Museum anyway. Managed to pick up a nice ‘tubby pen’ and thermal mug to commemorate the centenary while I perused the shop too. Tidy.

I’m not completely against exercise. On Saturday morning Mandie and I did a nice lap of Attingham Deer Park, a short 3 miles stroll while the weather was nice. Because we made the opening of the park at 0800 we were blessed with seeing squirrels, rabbits, pheasants and lots of the lovely deer who make the park their home. Because I didn’t have my camera ready enough I only have gratuitous deer pics but you can imagine the other animals scampering about …

Because I haven’t quite lost the wanderlust (and because Mandie wants an excuse for time off work) we did another day out, this time to Powis Castle. Again, somewhere I haven’t been in years but it was fab and ended with a quick jaunt to Charlies where I managed to pick up some lovely Flamingo stationery. As you do.

And I managed some reading too. Go me huh? Book wise, I’ve been kind of good. Ish. Four from Netgalley but all for tours so necessity not indulgence. They were The Warning by Kat Croft; Tell Nobody by Patricia Gibney; Hush Hush by Mel Sherratt and one I can’t tell you about just yet, but it looks really good.

Book book wise I’ve been very good. Only two. First up was the preorder of the second Amy Winter book from Caroline Mitchell (so new it doesn’t have a cover yet), The Secret Child, and I also bought myself a hard back copy of The Way of All Flesh by Ambrose Parry.

Books I have read

The Way of All Flesh – Ambrose Parry

Edinburgh, 1847. City of Medicine, Money, Murder.

In Edinburgh’s Old Town young women are being found dead, all having suffered similarly gruesome ends. Across the city in the New Town, medical student Will Raven is about to start his apprenticeship with the brilliant and renowned Dr Simpson.

Simpson’s patients range from the richest to the poorest of this divided city. His house is like no other, full of visiting luminaries and daring experiments in the new medical frontier of anaesthesia. It is here that Raven meets housemaid Sarah Fisher, who recognises trouble when she sees it and takes an immediate dislike to him. She has all of Raven’s intelligence but none of his privileges, in particular his medical education.

With each having their own motive to look deeper into these deaths, Raven and Sarah find themselves propelled headlong into the darkest shadows of Edinburgh’s underworld, where they will have to overcome their differences if they are to make it out alive.

Oh how I enjoyed this book. In it we meet newly qualified Doctor Will Raven who has somewhat of a questionable past and one which is coming back to haunt him right from the start. Full of mystery, murder and all things medical, and set in 1840’s Edinburgh, I simply flew through the reading of this book, loving the dynamic between Raven and housemaid Sarah, a young woman who was very much ahead of her time. I’ll be reviewing the book this week, but you can buy your own copy here. By the way, if you’d like to see Ambrose Parry in the flesh, aka husband and wife writing team Chris Brookmyre and Dr Marisa Haetzman, they’ll be appearing at Bloody Scotland at the end of the month. You can find all event tickets (if there are any left as it is selling out left, right and centre) here.

The Night She Died – Jenny Blackhurst

On her own wedding night, beautiful and complicated Evie White leaps off a cliff to her death.

What drove her to commit this terrible act? It’s left to her best friend and her husband to unravel the sinister mystery.

Following a twisted trail of clues leading to Evie’s darkest secrets, they begin to realize they never knew the real Evie at all…

Ooh what a twisty thriller this is. Telling the story of very new wife Evie, who takes her own life, this story will shock and enthrall readers. Told through the eyes of Evie and her best friend Rebecca there are many secrets to uncover as we try to work out why Evie chose to end her life. The book is released on 6th September and I’m reviewing as part of the tour (I’ll also have an extract) but if you want to buy a copy for yourself you can find it here.

…

The Lion Tamer Who Lost – Louise Beech

Be careful what you wish for…

Long ago, Andrew made a childhood wish, and kept it in a silver box. When it finally comes true, he wishes he hadn’t…

Long ago, Ben made a promise and he had a dream: to travel to Africa to volunteer at a lion reserve. When he finally makes it, it isn’t for the reasons he imagined…

Ben and Andrew keep meeting in unexpected places, and the intense relationship that develops seems to be guided by fate. Or is it?

What if the very thing that draws them together is tainted by past secrets that threaten everything?

A dark, consuming drama that shifts from Zimbabwe to England, and then back into the past, The Lion Tamer Who Lost is also a devastatingly beautiful love story, with a tragic heart…

Gah. This book. Beautifully lyrical, tragically poetic in style and delivery, a story full of love and loss, this moved me to tears. Literally. Just ask my DPD driver who didn’t quite know what to do with himself when I answered the door in a full on red eyed, wet cheeked mess. I’ll be reviewing on the tour, assuming I can find any words, but you can buy a copy of the book here.

…

Ed’s Dead – Russel D McLean

Meet Jen. She works in a bookshop and likes the odd glass of Prosecco… oh, and she’s about to be branded The Most Dangerous Woman in Scotland.

Jen Carter is a failed writer with a rubbish boyfriend, Ed. That is, until she accidentally kills him one night. Now that Ed’s dead, she has to decide what to do with his body, his drugs and a big pile of cash. And, more pressingly, how to escape the hitman who’s been sent to recover Ed’s stash. Soon Jen’s on the run from criminals, corrupt police officers and the prying eyes of the media. Who can she trust? And how can she convince them that the trail of corpses left in her wake are just accidental deaths?

A modern noir that proves, once and for all, the female of the species really is more deadly than the male.

I don’t know why or how I’ve not read this before but I’m bloody glad I have now. Full of unbelievable unfortunate incidents, poor Jen’s life is turned upside down when she finally decides to give her long term loser boyfriend, Ed, the boot. You just … might not expect quite how much. This had me chuckling to myself and racing through the pages like the devil was at my heels. If you want to find out why, you can grab a copy of the book here.

The Proposal – S.E. Lynes

‘The first thing you should know, dear reader, is that I am dead…’

Teacher Pippa wants a second chance. Recently divorced and unhappy at work, she uproots her life to renovate a beautiful farmhouse in the countryside, determined to make a fresh start. But Pippa soon realises: your troubles are never far behind.

When Pippa meets blue-eyed Ryan Marks, he is funny, charming, and haunted by his past. He might just be the answer to all her problems. But how well does she really know him?

She knows the story of his life, the pain that stays with him, the warmth of his smile and the smell of his skin. She knows he can make her laugh over a glass of wine.

Pippa can tell truth from lies. She’d know if she were in danger. Wouldn’t she?

That’s a humdinger of an opening line don’t you think? Never let a stranger in your house, that is what I’ve learned from this book. (To be fair, I seldom let people I know in the house because I’m antisocial but that’s another story). Oh, yes, and be very wary of teachers turned romance authors … This is a psychological story of obsession, written in an intriguing style and littered with literary references that will make enlightened readers smile and now knowingly. I’ll be reviewing as part of the tour but for now you can order a copy of the book here.
