After a mishap with the order, Roch is sent a Toronto Maple Leafs sweater. In the winter of 1946, Roch’s Canadiens sweater becomes too small, and his mother orders him a new one from “Monsieur Eaton” (of the family behind Eaton’s department stores). It’s a children’s book about a young Roch Carrier growing up in Sainte-Justine, Quebec, who – along with every kid in his village – loves the Montreal Canadiens and wants to be just like Maurice Richard. The story is enjoyed across Canada, among anglophones and francophones alike. Titled Le chandail de hockey in its original French, it was illustrated by Sheldon Cohen and translated into English by Sheila Fischman. Have you read The Hockey Sweater (1979) by Roch Carrier? If you grew up in Canada and had parents even mildly invested in hockey, chances are you have. Whether intended or not, the story reveals an age-old culture clash between Ontario and Quebec. That same year, a pivotal work of Canadian Literature was published: Roch Carrier’s The Hockey Sweater. The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens haven’t met in the NHL playoffs since 1979.

Blackwood’s tale continues to find enthusiasts today, among them the Ghost Box music collective whose Belbury Poly CD titled after the story manages to reference in the space of 44 minutes Blackwood, Machen, CS Lewis and The Morning of the Magicians.

Light play on the river Thame by net_efekt. But screenwriter Guy Andrews made so many changes from Christie’s original tale that it would seem pointless for me to recap the plot. ”APOINTMENT WITH DEATH” told the story of Hercule Poirot’s investigation into the murder of a wealthy, middle-aged American woman named Lady Boynton (Mrs. Nevertheless, I feel that it is a masterpiece in compare to this recent version that starred David Suchet as Poirot. The production values of the 1988 version of ”APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH” almost had a cheap, B-movie quality about it. Released in 1988, the movie starred Peter Ustinov in his last appearance as the Belgian-born sleuth, Hercule Poirot and is not considered among the best of Christie adaptations before the premiere of ”Agatha Christie’s POIROT” around 1989. The most well known adaptation before the 2008 one had been produced and directed by Michael Winner some twenty years earlier. One of those titles happened to be the author’s 1938 novel called ”Appointment With Death”. Looking back on the number of Agatha Christie movie adaptations I have seen, I find it surprising that only a handful of Christie titles have been adapted for the movies or television more than once. Sophie is extremely nervous about her ability to fit into an environment that is not only dominated by men, but also by wealth. One of the things that I really enjoyed about this story is the way that Wen handles the theme of women in tech. Sophie will face struggles at Dartmouth because she misses enrollment for a class she needs for her program and scholarship and Xavier is sent back to high school to get his diploma before he is allowed access to his trust. However, certain circumstances create barriers for both characters. Readers will meet Sophie and Xavier as they are leaving to head to the "next" stages of their lives. Loveboat Reunion literally picks up right where Loveboat, Taipei leaves off. Nevertheless, I'm happy to say that this is one was enjoyable. Not because I don't trust Abigail Hin Wen as a writer, but it centers a character that I strongly disliked in the first book. Honestly, I was surprised that I enjoyed this book. "Jules?" "Yep?" I turned and looked down at him. In fact, it is a constant irritating stream of information, until finally, Walt can stand it no longer. The gravedigger has a lot of miscellany about the disposal of earthly remains that he happily shares with Sheriff Walt Longmire of Absaroka County as he digs and Walt stands by watching and freezing. He's referring to the practice of building a huge bonfire on top of the spot where a grave was to be dug in hopes of thawing out the ground enough to dig. That first sentence is spoken by a gravedigger, attempting to dig a hole in the middle of a Wyoming winter. What a segue! Perhaps I had been fated to read this book next. Then I opened this book and read the first sentence: "They used fire, back in the day." I had to chuckle. The last book I read was Celeste Ng's Little Fires Everywhere. The banks have fallen, the sun of the Union has been torn down, and in the darkness behind the scenes, the threads of the Weaver's ruthless plan are slowly being drawn together. while Black Calder gathers his forces and plots his vengeance. And in the bloody North, Rikke and her fragile Protectorate are running out of allies.
