Blue highways book5/31/2023 The reason why Least Heat-Moon set out on this 13,000 mile journey was intensely personal. The real America lay beyond superhighways and metropolitan areas. In small towns, he is more likely to have a true American experience. He makes friends only when he wishes to have company. The author decides to stick to back roads and small towns as he wishes to be lonely and also wants to preserve the purity of experience. People become more open to experiences and people, who may not have interested you when pursuing that 9 to 5 job. Travelling, especially the kind where the destination is not the important thing but the journey is, helps people shed their inhibitions and emotional baggage. Humans have, since the time they appeared on earth, travelled looking for better places. The author’s aim was to connect with real towns were real people lived. The 13,000 mile journey that went around US, barring the state of California, kept consciously away from main highways. These were back roads that connected small towns. Blue Highways gets its name from the roads marked in blue in the old Rand McNally atlas.

Agatha christie ten little indian book5/31/2023 In 1990 Crime Writers' Association ranked And Then There Were None 19th in their The Top 100 Crime Novels of All Time list. UK editions continued to use the original title until the current definitive title appeared with a reprint of the 1963 Fontana Paperback in 1985. All successive American reprints and adaptations use that title, except for the Pocket Books paperbacks published between 19, which appeared under the title Ten Little Indians. A US edition was released in January 1940 with the title And Then There Were None, which is taken from the last five words of the song. It was first published in the United Kingdom by the Collins Crime Club on 6 November 1939, as Ten Little Niggers, after the children's counting rhyme and minstrel song, which serves as a major element of the plot. And Then There Were None is a mystery novel by the English writer Agatha Christie, described by her as the most difficult of her books to write. A Lesbian Photo Album by Cathy Cade5/31/2023 Unsatisfied with the racial diversity present in the imagery I found online, I began scanning books, screenshotting google books and even screenshotting documentaries. I scoured tumblr, discovered regional library archives online and visited websites like fuck yeah queer vintage, the new york public library digital archives, out history, and know homo. Honestly before tumblr it was difficult to find very much lesbian imagery at all online - it was always the same ten or twelve stock photos - let alone pictures of lesbians taken prior to 2000. I wanted to see an evolution of our community, how we’d grown and changed over the years - and not just in a montage of famous out actresses and models, but pictures of actual people, pictures of women who were active in the community - regular human beings, writers and social activists. I was looking for words but eventually, also, for pictures. My girlfriend was not a big fan of the stacks of books at the foot of the bed. I really threw myself into Herstory Month, in June, eating every accessible herstory archive on the internet and spending hours in the library, accumulating massive stacks of borrowed books which I stored at the foot of my bed.
