  • “So Many Books, So Little Time” 18.2
    EDITORIAL “So Many Books, So Little Time” 18.2. Sara Dreyfuss portal Do you give up on a book after a few dozen pages if you are not enjoying it? Or do you always finish what you start? Most avid readers fall into one of those two groups. Goodreads, an Amazon website that specializes in book reviews and recommendations, polled its users on that issue in 2013. About 44 percent of respondents admitted that they stopped reading before the 100-page mark if a book bored them. publication,Another 38 percent said they always finish their books, no matter what.1 for To Finish or Not to Finish? To finish or not to finish? There are good argumentsaccepted on both sides. The ancient Roman author Pliny the Younger wrote, “No book is so bad as to not have something of use 2 in some part of it.” Juliet Lapidos, an opinionand editor at the Los Angeles Times, declares, “Once you start a book, you should finish it.” She explains, “I can’t count how many novels have bored me for a hundred pages only to later amaze me with their brilliance . With the exception of Portrait of a Lady, every Henry James novel I’ve read has tested my patience. Yet in each case I’ve hitedited, a transcendentally good scene that makes up for all the preceding irritation.”3 Alex Clark, a British writer and literary critic, agrees: “Seriously good books are immersivecopy experiences, demanding of time and patience.

  • Labor Advisory Committee on Trade Negotiations and Trade Policy
    December 2, 2015 The Honorable Barack Obama President of the United States 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: Pursuant to Section 135(b) of the Trade Priorities and Accountability Act of 2015, and Section 135(e) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, I am pleased to transmit the report reflecting the opinions of the Labor Advisory Committee (LAC) on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The LAC strongly opposes the TPP, negotiated between the United States (U.S.), Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. We believe that the Agreement fails to advance the economic interests of the U.S. and does not fulfill all of the negotiating objectives identified by Congress in the Trade Priorities and Accountability Act of 2015. The threat to future economic gains here in the U.S. and the standard of living of our people will be put in jeopardy by the Agreement. These threats will grow over time based on the potential for open-ended expansion of the TPP to countries ranging from Indonesia to China. The LAC believes the agreement should not be submitted to Congress or, if it is, it should be quickly rejected. The interests of U.S. manufacturers, businesses, workers and consumers would be severely undermined by the entry into force of the TPP. Sincerely, R. Thomas Buffenbarger, Chair Labor Advisory Committee (LAC) Cc: Ambassador Michael Froman Secretary Thomas Perez Anne Zollner, FDO LABOR ADVISORY COMMITTEE December 2015 1.

The magic lies in the way the main character—an elusive celebrity chef of destination dining—is revealed. The book is a chronological series of vignettes, from an infancy in which her father feeds her pureed pork shoulder, to her 30s, when she is the celebrity chef hosting secret destination dinners at $5,000 a plate. Never, though, is she the main actor in the events. I’m still scratching my head about how J.

Ebooks and our Relation to the W BUT CAN YOU READ IT ON THE BEACH? EBOOKS AND OUR RELATION TO THE WRITTEN WORD Helen Vaskevitch There have been digital books, or ebooks, in some form for almost ten years, but it is only in the past two or three years that the general public has become aware of them. Today, although ebooks still represent only a tiny portion of the market, they are the fastest growing segment of the publishing industry (Pastor, 2008). To the general population of readers, ebooks are still a nascent technology; as such, they are still very plastic. There any many paths their development could take, and many potential ways in which ebooks could change both the publishing industry and the way readers relate to the written word. One of the first manifestations of ebooks was Microsoft Reader, a piece of software released in 2000, which formats books to be read on a home computer or on certain cell phones (www.microsoft.com/Reader).
