Luckily, the book is very much a collaboration sections written by Diamond appear intermittently in italic type and often supply important background about Torvalds' parents and their lefty politics. For Torvalds, life progresses from a fight for survival to a struggle to maintain the social order, and, finally, to a quest for entertainment. ![]() Sounds like fame has been good to the man. More recently, he wonders whether a truly livable house in the Bay Area really has to cost $5 million. At the beginning of his life, he has his head buried in code. The front section of the book, a breezy account of Torvalds' youth in Finland, offers terse sentences, cavalier insights, and few juicy details.

Long before his name became synonymous with the modern legal thriller, John Grisham was working 60-70 hours a week at a small Southaven, Mississippi law practice, squeezing in time before going to the office and during courtroom recesses to work on his hobby-writing his first novel.Born on Februin Jonesboro, Arkansas, to a construction worker and a homemaker, John Grisham as a child dreamed of being a professional baseball player. ![]() ![]() ![]() He agonizes over pardons, speaks kindly to rebel prisoners, owns up to his missteps with flinty dignity. And he gives a new name to patience, dealing with the over-proud, highly hesitant General McLellan-unaffectionately known as The Young Napoleon to the same presidential aides. He forebears mightily with his spendthrift half-mad wife Mary Todd-unaffectionately known as the Hellcat to the presidential aides. Not that the better angels of the 16th president's nature are not frequently on view.

Medieval political communities based their coherence and their succeeds on the control of land. His approach echoes Marx (who he quotes in the introductory chapter) but probably shouldn't be described as "Marxist", perhaps a more structuralist approach. Wickham is concerned with the way the economic base of society creates a large political superstructure. Despite this, I recommend it for anyone trying to understand the trajectory of the medieval period and what this meant for the population of Europe as well as the legacy for the modern world. Despite being relatively short at 250 odd pages (excluding notes) it is dense and cannot really be described as a popular history of the period. In hindsight Chris Wickham's Medieval Europe was probably not an ideal choice for holiday reading. ![]() ![]() That's easier said than done when the girls step into each other's shoes and discover new romantic possibilities, as well as the other side of intense fandom.
