I listened to this while doing yard work recently and found Holiday to be just as engaging and thoughtful in conversation as he is in his writing. This is a solid podcast interview with Ryan by Tim Ferriss. My friend, Nick, recommended Holiday’s reading recommendation newsletter, and I’ve been impressed with the quality and quantity of his book suggestions. As the great Stoic, Marcus Aurelius, wrote: 'Our actions may be impeded. He left college before graduating, but has continued his own education through some killer work experiences and a prolific consumption of books. According to Ryan Holiday, author of the new book The Obstacle is the Way, the ancient Stoics argued the same thing. ![]() Holiday, the author, has had an interesting career. It’s a quick read and filled with examples of great men and women who thrived in spite of, or, actually, because of the difficulties seemingly blocking their way. I’ve already given The Obstacle is the Way to a few young friends. Ryan’s writing is influenced by the Stoics, and Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations is one of his favorite books also. He’s in his mid-twenties and just published his third book, The Obstacle is the Way, which is a delightful, short, story-filled exploration of the value of embracing adversity.

By raising awareness and engaging directly with our environmental crisis, The Iron Woman puts forward Hughes’s own social and political concerns and could be read as a potential healer of broken bonds between humanity and nature, not only as a discourse of hope, but perhaps also as a way to contribute towards much-needed change. Drawing on Lucy, the female protagonist, and the Iron Woman as symbols of hope, I will look at the impact that Rachel Carson’s seminal work Silent Spring (1962) had for Hughes and place his environmentalism in the context of more recent ecocritical theory, using ecofeminism as a critical framework to analyse the novel. What role does literature for children and young adults have in the present environmental crisis and in the context of climate change? To answer this question, I propose to analyse Ted Hughes’s narrative The Iron Woman (1993) which, despite being written almost thirty years ago as a sequel to The Iron Man (1968), reads as both a story of hope and a wake-up call in our current crisis where children act as agents of change. ![]() ![]() ![]() Her teenage daughter, Jules, is all she has left.

That tumultuous summer provides the backdrop to Dennis Lehane’s excellent and unflinching new novel, “Small Mercies.” The book has all the hallmarks of Lehane at his best: a propulsive plot, a perfectly drawn cast of working-class Boston Irish characters, razor-sharp wit and a pervasive darkness through which occasional glimmers of hope peek out like snowdrops in early spring. Tensions over desegregation have reverberated through Boston ever since. Parents there mobilized against the policy, vowing not to send their children to school in September if it went ahead. The first phase of the program was to begin 12 weeks later in two of the city’s poorest neighborhoods - all-white South Boston and mostly Black Roxbury. declared that in order to end de facto racial segregation in Boston’s public schools, a percentage of students from predominantly Black high schools would be bused to predominantly white ones, and vice versa. ![]() ![]() ![]() When I read about pantry stockpiles in MORRIGHAN and the description of a vault that my modern-day mind visualizes as a bunker, it makes me even more curious.

The prince of the title is Prince Saber aka Raul Lawrence. It’s much better than bad, but not memorable enough to be really good. ![]() Dodd’s latest historical romance, Taken by the Prince, tells the story of a lovely plucky virgin captured by a hunky, oh-so-good in the bedroom prince and, while it’s a fun read, it was a little too formulaic for me. No, the true fantasy fellow is also a prince and, by marrying our more beautiful than the sunrise heroine, he makes her - bluebirds twitter, flowers bloom - a princess. It’s not enough that a man be noble, gorgeous, rich, sexy as sin, and blessed with a fabulous tailor.
