Pages : 416
Book Description
“Brilliant, hilarious, and oh-so-romantic.” —BuzzFeed “Swoony, steamy.” —Entertainment Weekly The Hating Game meets Booksmart by way of Morgan Matson in this unforgettable romantic comedy about two rival overachievers whose relationship completely transforms over the course of twenty-four hours. Today, she hates him. It’s the last day of senior year. Rowan Roth and Neil McNair have been bitter rivals for all of high school, clashing on test scores, student council elections, and even gym class pull-up contests. While Rowan, who secretly wants to write romance novels, is anxious about the future, she’d love to beat her infuriating nemesis one last time. Tonight, she puts up with him. When Neil is named valedictorian, Rowan has only one chance at victory: Howl, a senior class game that takes them all over Seattle, a farewell tour of the city she loves. But after learning a group of seniors is out to get them, she and Neil reluctantly decide to team up until they’re the last players left—and then they’ll destroy each other. As Rowan spends more time with Neil, she realizes he’s much more than the awkward linguistics nerd she’s sparred with for the past four years. And, perhaps, this boy she claims to despise might actually be the boy of her dreams. Tomorrow…maybe she’s already fallen for him.

Reading and the Reader
Author: Philip Davis
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191506168
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
The Literary Agenda is a series of short polemical monographs about the importance of literature and of reading in the wider world and about the state of literary education inside schools and universities. The category of 'the literary' has always been contentious. What is clear, however, is how increasingly it is dismissed or is unrecognised as a way of thinking or an arena for thought. It is sceptically challenged from within, for example, by the sometimes rival claims of cultural history, contextualized explanation, or media studies. It is shaken from without by even greater pressures: by economic exigency and the severe social attitudes that can follow from it; by technological change that may leave the traditional forms of serious human communication looking merely antiquated. For just these reasons this is the right time for renewal, to start reinvigorated work into the meaning and value of literary reading. Reading and the Reader offers a defence of reading serious literature, where reading offers a place for inner contemplation, emotion, imagination, and thought-experiment through the energising booster-rocket of literature. It is argued that literature creates a holding-ground in which a dense sense of experience is registered. Such a place is vital to human well-being in the following respects: in sustaining the ability to use and not just suffer one's experience; to be able to think one's thoughts, even those that are customarily unadmitted or felt as anomalous or unworthy; to find room for a realm of speculation in between religions and secularization, in between literature and life. Reading and the Reader, one of the first volumes in the Literary Agenda series, exists to defend the value of reading, to narrow the gaps between the way writers and readers think, to bring literary thinking into the ordinary thinking of the world - especially at a time when the arts and humanities are under some threat. Literature is useful in terms of deep human needs. It offers a form of time-travel - across ages, countries, different minds - that provides alternatives to any conventional worldview.

A Wistful Wandering
Author: Rohit Khare
Publisher: Partridge Publishing
ISBN: 1482855984
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
What you every day see, quite often appears bland and devoid of any significant meaning - unless viewed from an entirely fresh perspective. And the author, with all lucidity, has a talent of doing exactly that. Simple elements - may it be the sunshine, wind, lakes, trees, the common happenings in our gardens, the faces we see, the monotony of a regular job, the change of seasons; or the common insipid occurrences such as the visit of a dragonfly, the falling of a tree, or coming across a lifeless bird - are all turned on their heads and very artistically presented to the reader; thereby inspiring a fresh contemplation of the seemingly mundane. The author weaves in - in between his short essays, the fanciful follies of the human mind and in doing so, draws on artful humour and boundless imagination to hold the close interest of the reader. The work, in its brevity, much in the way of gentle speed breakers, persists to slow down our frantic pace along the superhighways of our lives. Highly recommended as an antidote to a hurried life.
