![]() ![]() “Malcolm X’s autobiography seemed to offer something different. Praise for The Autobiography of Malcolm X It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand America. The Autobiography of Malcolm X stands as the definitive statement of a movement and a man whose work was never completed but whose message is timeless. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American Dream, and the inherent racism in a society that denies its nonwhite citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time. In the searing pages of this classic autobiography, originally published in 1964, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and anti-integrationist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Black Muslim movement. ![]() ONE OF TIME’S TEN MOST IMPORTANT NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY ![]() ![]() ![]() In the modern world, we are encouraged to be busy, to multitask, and to be as productive as humanly possible. Other times these goals can be accomplished just by shifting our thoughts or behaviors. As you'll see in the following sections, these goals something-but not always-require going at a slower pace. But it's more about teaching ourselves how to turn off the body's stress response, create the life we really want, and act intentionally and with purpose. That's why I think slowing down is partially about going slow. We can handle our daily tasks, we don't feel stressed, and we feel like we have the time to rest, be present, and enjoy the good things in life. It's not 'being slow' that we're seeking necessarily, it's the feeling that we have time to do the things that matter. ![]() For example, when our minds are speeding, our performance and effectiveness get slower or weaker. But when people talk about slowing down, they're often referring to the idea that we cram too many unimportant things into each day. ![]() ![]() But what does it mean, exactly? It doesn't have to mean that we literally do things slower-although we might walk slower or give ourselves more time to make a decision or cook a meal. We've probably heard of the idea of 'slowing down'. ![]() ![]() ![]() Poirot has a dozen suspicious suspects to choose from, and you'll never pick who did it. Hercule Poirot is aboard a trans-European express train when a wealthy man (Widmark) is murdered in the neighbouring sleeping compartment. Nevertheless, the remainder of the ensemble cast provides stellar support. Finney's Poirot is perhaps too much of a caricature, emphasising the cartoonish silliness of the character rather than the quiet superiority found in Suchet's portrayal (however, I'm not familiar with Christie's novel, and perhaps he was simply written that way). ![]() It was only recently that I had my first encounter with noted Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, having enjoyed a few television episodes with David Suchet in the title role. ![]() I don't mind telling you that my head nearly exploded during the opening credits: Albert Finney, Lauren Bacall, Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman, Michael York, Vanessa Redgrave, Richard Widmark, Anthony Perkins, Martin Balsam, John Gielgud!

Joshua, a handsome (naturally) charismatic, were-shifter and a one night stand playboy who works for The Midnight Liaisons Dating Agency where Marie works and he comes in every day teasing and flirting with her. What the Publisher's Summary doesn't tell you about this book is just how funny it is as the interactions between some of the characters are so well written that you just can't help but feel a part of all the goings-on and comradeship that a friendly close office brings.
