![]() It's a hard-sci-fi story about how various societies, human and alien, attempt to assert control & hegemony over centuries of time (in many ways thinking of this as a distributed systems and code documentation problem!), and how critical and impactful the role of language translation is in helping people to understand foreign ways of thinking.Īt the novel's core is a question very akin to that of philosophical antipositivism : is it possible (or optimal for your society's stability) to appreciate and emphasize with people wholly different from yourselves, without interpreting their thoughts and cultures in language and description that's familiar to yourselves. ![]() Highly, highly recommend Vinge's A Deepness In The Sky, which won the Hugo in 2000. ![]()

![]() ![]() The Hive Trilogy - 7 sexy guys, and a sassy main female protagonist. ![]() What other book might you compare Finding My Pack to and why? I don't even know which outcome I'm hoping for!!! :DDDD I'm blown away with how communication is stressed through out, and WTF it's a werewolf book too? I'm SOLD! I mean just WOW this book BLEW me straight out the water!! With the way they've set up true mates, and the other details that are beginning to come to light about this world the author has created, I'm at the edge of my seat to see if our heroine gets to keep her boys, or if she's yet to find her one true soulmate! At this point. Never in my life have a I read a book that accurately depicts the mindset of a successful poly-amorous household, within a YA, let alone to this caliber. The fact that this book could change my mind COMPLETELY about 5 characters, while having NINE main characters in total? Says something about the author's character development abilities!! Now, I'm SO deadly curious to see where this goes. At first I wanted our heroine to have NOTHING to do with 3/8 of the guys, and 2 others had already been seriously friend zoned in my mind. Being the over sensual pervert I am) between hot intimate moments, and outstanding character development. ![]() ![]() This book has the PERFECT balance ( for me, anyway. I absolutely LOVE a story that can be EXTREMELY sexy, while not being ABOUT sex. Where does Finding My Pack rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far? I love when sexual encounters naturally manifest!! ![]() ![]() pour la jeunesse, Enseignants - Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse, Personnes handicapées - Romans, nouvelles, etc. ![]() ![]() pour la jeunesse, Personnes sourdes - Romans, nouvelles, etc. ![]() Publication date 2009 Topics Keller, Helen, 1880-1968 - Juvenile fiction, Sullivan, Annie, 1866-1936 - Juvenile fiction, Keller, Helen, 1880-1968 - Fiction, Sullivan, Annie, 1866-1936 - Fiction, Keller, Helen, 1880-1968, Sullivan, Annie, 1866-1936, Blind - Juvenile fiction, Deaf - Juvenile fiction, People with disabilities - Juvenile fiction, Teachers - Juvenile fiction, Blind - Fiction, Deaf - Fiction, People with disabilities - Fiction, Teachers - Fiction, Teacher-student relationships - Fiction, Blind-deaf persons - Fiction, Blind persons - Fiction, Deaf persons - Fiction, Persistence in women - Fiction, Personnes aveugles - Romans, nouvelles, etc. ![]() ![]() The series features characters from Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments, Infernal Devices, Dark Artifices and the upcoming Last Hours series.

I’ve got a book hangover from Carnal Urges by J.T. ![]() While there is that mafia tension & bullets, Sloane, with her banter, gives it a quirky twist. The vibe is a bit different than Book #1 in the Queens & Monsters series, Ruthless Creatures. Mony: I started reading this one yesterday & am really enjoying it. Would recommend to read Ruthless Creatures first so you know the in and outs of what is going on in the background. Loving it!! Sloan is hilarious! Can’t go wrong with this one. ![]() They can be read as standalones, but our crew prefers them in order (for good background info – and character crossovers).
