Which Is The Best Investment Lic Or Ppf

73rd Madness: The Dresden Files, Volume 1: In the Eye of the Storm


PARANORMAL INVESTIGATIONS.
CONSULTATION & ADVICE.
ATTRACTIVE PRICES.
All good wizards called Harry, and Harry Dresden is the best. Technically, it is the only in its "class" if the Chicago police is a matter that transcends, that she turns towards him. Because our world is full of strange and magical things ... and most do not get along well with humans.
The magic that you gat a guy in less than two!


This is a very nice little book which reads very quickly, the evidence I've read in a day. We are therefore
Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden's full name. "According to three famous magicians" as he says himself. We recognize of course the famous illusionist Copperfield's David Copperfield 90 years. The other two are a little less obvious. Blackstone, actually refers to two magicians at the When Harry Blackstone Sr. and Harry Blackstone Jr., who seem to be best known in the United States. For my part, I thought that Harry was referring to Harry Houdini, who claimed to have Harry as the first name chosen in homage to Harry Kellar an illusionist he greatly admired.
But unlike those magicians who are really just magicians, illusionists, Harry is real magic, magic magic might say somehow. Magic-based spells and other potions ...
Potions whose ingredients are also well smile, "a patter of mice", "shadow flicker", "engine oil for taste" "Gatorade" (famous energy drink) ... Here there is no ingredient too "common" as the drooling toad and other trifles of the same style ...
Harry is a powerful magician, but it is especially foremost a kind of "loser", always broke, always badly dressed, and that always happens the worst trouble. But besides that, it seems to have a certain charm, since it seems he does not go unnoticed by women.
Harry is funny, it has a very good sense of humor. He also has a rather high opinion of himself at the magical level, he suggested several times in fact it is the best and the others are not worth much. Opinion obviously not shared by all when we see certain characters, or you learn some facts.
The story is well written, the pages are turned quickly to see what disaster will still be able to get to that poor Harry, who really seems to earn it the gift of trouble. Everyone was after him and everyone wants him dead.
For cons, the translation has made some adjustments and liberties with the original text that I was a little shocked. All the characters in Dresden are American, and yet a moment to talk about a woman says she Dresden reminds him a bit of a mixture of "Simone Signoret and Fanny Ardant" ... Sure, these are two great French actresses, but it must still admit that there is little chance that the average American woman compares two French actresses of the blue. And at another time, we are told that a space is parked outside a house. Again, realistically, there are very few Americans who drive French cars, and probably not Spaces. So why have adapted? The French public has seen enough American movies and series to learn a little "world" American and did not require that he put things typically French. And yet, I guess we should count ourselves lucky to have escaped the stereotype of the R4! Good
otherwise, except those small negatives, it's really a nice book, no-brainer, that has a good hold, which is good smile, and that also reads very quickly. I wait to see the further adventures of Dresden.

Poptropica Hack For Crediets

72nd Madness: The 71st Strike Rider

Coup
the Cavalier (Knight Moves)

of
Walter John Williams

Two miracles have opened to men the way of the stars: a inexhaustible source of energy and the secret of immortality. However, isolated by the barrier speed of light, the colonies become sclerotic; about immortality, it distills its insidious poison: boredom ...
Alone owner of a depopulated Earth by galactic diaspora, Doran Falkner The author of two miracles, in seeking a third to lead humanity out of its torpor. The answer lies perhaps in the world Amaterasu, where placid animals seem able to teleport like the rider flying over the chessboard squares. Unless the centaurs ...?


This book was read as part of a partnership between:
L'Atalante AND Livraddict

Firstly thank you to L'Atalante for sending me this book very nice and very pleasant to read.
I must say I was quite surprised with the theme of the book and the summary, I expected a more hard-science novel, and maybe blow a little harder to read. In reality it is nothing but a novel that focuses more on the human side of the story on the technical side, although there are few descriptions here and there a little more complex than the rest .
Funny because the book is organized into different chapters, and sometimes they themselves are divided by subtitles part. It follows therefore
Doran Faulkner, whom he is now almost eight hundred years has revolutionized humanity. This has been a galactic diaspora following treatment to regain youth and vitality, and acquire a form of immortality. Faulkner is now virtually the sole owner of the Earth and he enjoys rebuilding old ancient monuments as they were in their time. That's about at this point that landed Brian McGivern, a former lawyer who Doran appealed at the time his discoveries. He then speaks of these creatures able to teleport instantly from one place to another. He wants Doran joins the scientists who study these animals will go to try to unravel the mystery of teleports in order to apply it to humans. What would constitute a third revolution, since mankind is still unable to overcome the constraints of the speed of light and travel stellar therefore take many years he must go into hibernation.
So on this basis that the story starts. It's quite surprising and original as the beginning, because in the first pages, Doran living on the site of Delphi with restored monuments, it seems to be in Ancient Greece. Then with the arrival of McGivern it is projected into the distant future.
It is also original from the author to have imagined a humanity always subject to the speed barrier of light. It is rather rare in a science fiction novel, and it provides an opportunity to explore things that we rarely see.
As the problems of hibernating versus someone left on a planet and it continues to age and for whom time is running normally. Thus, for example, that Mary, the woman is in love Doran hibernate is time that the research team is assembled, but it goes well next to any child of his son who becomes a virtual stranger to her.
The author with his idea of treating conferring immortality almost imagine people also raises issues related to aging, he imagines that some may refuse treatment and wish to grow old and eventually die. It also explores the reactions of others facing this choice, some find it absurd and do everything to convince them to change their minds, others do not agree, but accept it ...
In summary, this is a very dense book, with full topics discussed, full of different ideas, but it is a book that reads quickly, and especially it reads very well. The pages turn very quickly, it is sometimes difficult to stop. And when you stop, it is surprising to read as many pages. It is a very good book of SF, which can be read without hesitation.

Connect A Ballast With Hps Lamp

Madness: The Psalms of Isaak, Volume 2: Song


Back Appointed to the land. The army general wandering and the Lord of the Nine Houses Woodland, was entrusted with the treasure and the power of the old order dissolved nine months earlier. Today, many noble allies arrived to attend a banquet in honor of the firstborn of General Rudolfo. But while the party in full swing, invisible assassins burst into the banquet hall.

This book was read as part of a partnership between:
Bragelonne AND Livraddict

Thank editions Bragelonne Livraddict and allowing me to receive the following Lamentation of which I had already received through them, and whose post is here . I have really enjoyed this first volume, but I must say that Song is even better, even stronger.
The novel is always built the same way as before with an alternation of the characters and their situation. We thus find all the characters we followed in Lament! Rudolfo, Jin Li Tam Tam Li Vlad, Petronus, Neb. ... We also monitors new winters as we had discovered in the previous volume through the eyes of particular Neb.
It also sees the emergence of many new characters relatively large. Some are rather obscure and there will certainly be more on them in the following novels.
Song is faster than Lamentation, because there is no need to make this presentation of the characters and the setting up of the situation. It begins a few months after the end of the previous book. And the action starts right away, and the least we can say is that it starts strong.
entire plot of this book as the first revolves around the concept of invisible plot. We discover more things about why and how all these events. Some revelations are sensational and really surprising. The least we can say is that Ken Scholes knows his audience with surprise twists at the least unexpected.
The plot is really involved, there is no dead time of passage where one might get bored. Even the passages "calm" are captivating and fascinating. The situations are really well fed, and the reactions of characters not always what one might expect. I am surprised one or two occasions yelling at the characters, it proves just how I got into the novel.
My favorite character is undoubtedly Tam Li Jin, a strong woman who must cope with many things and yet still proud and dignified (funny detail and unimportant, it is described as being red, and yet in my head I imagine with intense black hair).
Parts with Vlad Li Tam, embarrassed me by cons, but I think it was voluntary on the part of the author, to create unease.
In the end, Ken Scholes sign again a very very good book it is difficult to close and leave once it has started.

70th Madness: The CV of God

The CV of God

of Jean-Louis Fournier

The sky was over, the earth was finished, the animals were finished, the man was over. God thought it was over too, and sank into a deep melancholy. he did not know what to wear. He made some pottery, kneads a ball of earth, but the heart was gone. He had more confidence in him, he had lost faith. God no longer believed in God. He needed emergency activity, new projects, large construction sites. He decided to seek work, and, like everyone else, he wrote his curriculum vitae ...

few days ago I received this very funny little book sent by God itself she had even autographed! It was a big surprise because I was not expecting it.
So I read a few pages on receipt, and it looks very promising. Then I put it aside with a book already under way to resume this morning finally. So it's really a little book which reads very quickly, which read 137 pages in three-quarters of an hour, an hour ... I must say that it's written quite large, with parts rather short, making an entire page for a sentence as part of blank pages to separate sections ...
This book is actually a series of interviews between God and a Director of Personnel carefully studying the CV of the Almighty, and returns on certain items. This gives rise to trade rather comical and flavorful, especially course God's answers to questions we asked. Some parts starting with copies of psychological tests and other matters which were passed to God, or a summary of his schedule for the day, there is even a reproduction of several letters exchanged between God and "His Holiness" These letters are strong and tasty it is personally my favorite part (especially the end of this part) even if the whole book is very well written and filled with a slightly caustic humor to God of course, but also to the humans who take for their degree as well.
Ultimately I did not see the time spent reading this small book, it is perhaps even a bit of a shame it was not a bit longer. I also feel that this book could be broken (or might be) in other forms, drama, series of skits, Comics, Cartoon ... I really liked, and I doubly thank God (the one who sent me the book, and that the said book) for making me spend a good time with a book that I would certainly not yet purchased myself.
