Books Editor (673 KP) shared own list

Oct 20, 2017 (Updated Oct 20, 2017)
Sixteen months after Britain voted to leave the European Union, the political debate over Brexit seems as intense as ever.

Publishers, writers and bloggers alike have not been slow to spot the market that the poison has created. Yet too many of the books and pamphlets that have been published since the vote amount to little more than a re-run of the same old arguments over whether to remain or leave.

Four recent works, though, do better than most at avoiding that trap.

Good female protagonist, plot a bit clunky
I was definitely looking forward to watching this as it's very rare to have a superhero film geared towards female characters instead of side parts. The story and dialogue unfortunately was a bit of a let down which tends to be the case with some comic books because everyone's speech was that of a 10 year old. A good start however. Definitely want to see the character of Nubia in the next film.

Book Favorite

"If all the other books on my list were taken away, the one that would accompany me to the desert island is this small book of inspired poetry by the great Bengali man of letters, Tagore. When translated into English, it won him the Nobel Prize in 1913 and made him an international celebrity. Gitanjali turns the spiritual life into a love affair between the poet and God, a theme that is thousands of years old. In my heart of hearts, I wish I was Tagore."
