![]() ![]() My arms, piled high in retro friendship bracelets– red, purple, gray, black and blue– were plastered against my rib cage. It was my own fault for thinking I could transfer that money unnoticed. Nothing assured me that I’d made the right choice, but here I was, being hauled off to what was probably some kind of reform school, so I had to go with it. The only familiar thing from the other, old-fashioned flight I’d taken before was how all the passengers were trying to meditate away their concern. Dark gray automated belts strapped us into black rubber seats. There were no dings to say “buckle-up,” no overhead fans or lights. Like the sound you hear when you press your ear to a conch shell, only amplified. The low, monk-ish hum of the BoomJet wasn’t like an engine’s forceful whirr. I’d only flown on a regular jet once in my sixteen years, but one time was all it took to know this was far different. ![]() I crinkled my nose at the motorized odor of BoomJet fumes, and blinked continuously to try and moisten my eyeballs. The skin on my cheeks pressed tight against the bone. M Y BOTTOM LIP split straight down the middle from a combination of breathtaking G-force and peppery dry air.

Ő találta ki a vulkáni üdvözlést és az idegfogást ("neck pinch"), ezen túlmenően pedig mindig igyekezett megtartani a karakter egységességét, hitelességét. Nimoy rengeteget hozzátett Spock és rajta keresztül a vulkániak karakteréhez. Nem is gondoltam például, hogy Bill Shatner ekkora mókamiki volt, imádtam olvasni, milyen hülyeségeket csinált. Nagyon izgalmas volt belátni a kulisszák mögé és megtudni, hogyan alakult ki Spock figurája, hogyan zajlottak a forgatások, milyen problémák adódtak, milyen volt a kapcsolat a stábtagok között, hogyan heccelték egymást. ![]() Nem is tudom, hol kezdjem az értékelést…Ī könyv elsősorban Nimoy színészi és rendezői pályafutásáról szól (melynek jelentős részét a Star Trek teszi ki), a magánélete csak kisebb mértékben jelenik meg. Star Trek- és legfőképp Spock-rajongóként igazi csemege volt számomra ez a könyv. ![]() ![]() ![]() does have a different section of the website called the Review Team, which offers free books in exchange for review.

No one could have guessed, though, that it would mushroom into a multimedia phenomenon that would encompass five novels, a television series, a stage production, and, more than twenty years later, dozens of websites created by devotees who could not get enough of its bizarre universe.

She doesn't like ''Fast Cars,'' the manuscript of which she found in his traveling bag. She found him in his wreck, recognized him and brought him home to her remote farmhouse. The woman introduces herself as Annie Wilkes, the No. He is being nursed by a large blank-gazed woman, who feeds him drugs periodically to kill the pain. His legs are smashed and screaming with pain. Now he is in bed in a farmhouse somewhere. He had gotten high on champagne, gone driving in a Colorado snowstorm, skidded on a mountainside, and flipped his car. What had happened, it gradually dawns on Paul, is that he had been out celebrating the completion of a ''good'' novel, ''Fast Cars'' - having two years earlier put an end to his best-selling Misery series by killing off its heroine, Misery Chastain. Something very bad had happened to him but he was still alive.'' He smoked too much (or had before all this, whatever 'all this' was).

"Sagan knows how to play with the nuances of worldly boredom and the despairing thrusts of passion."These caveats are with Hofstadter's theory of translation, however his actual translation of La Chamade is brilliant, highly readable, thoroughly engrossing and very nearly everything Françoise Sagan could have hoped for in an English version of her novel." - Wayne Grady, Globe and Mail.*: refers to the 1966 Westhoff translation ![]()
