Before I forget, all the boys (my brothers and me) were born on the 17supth/sup day of our respective months, hence the family joke that Daddy must have planned it; a likely possibility because he was a gynaecologist/ obstetrician/ general practitioner, Mummy is an English Literature teacher (and an author, hopefully sometime soon).o:p/o:p/span/span/p span style="font-size:78%;" br / /span p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:78%;"span style="font-size: 8pt;" lang="EN-GB"I love music because it provides an avenue to vent and to reflect effectively; it puts things in perspective, and though sometimes, you can’t find the words to say something, there’s always a song that fully captures that elusively inexplicable emotion – I have a special fondness for rock of any kind. I also love poetry because it’s music’s cousin, so I guess its one of those affection by association things. I think my most prized ability is that I can sing. Sometimes when I get sore throats or I wake up all groggy and my voice is messed up, it scares me a little bit; if I found out one day that I’d never be able to sing again, I think the rest of my life would just be one vast expanse of despondency.o:p/o:p/span/span/p span style="font-size:78%;" br / /span p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:78%;"span style="font-size: 8pt;" lang="EN-GB"I love my family, and the friends that treat me right, and I try (probably not as hard as I should) to love God and appreciate all He does for me everyday. Video games are an experience I think no one should do without (role-playing games are beyond any other kind of electronic entertainment), black- and- white movies are the ambrosia of my soul, and mythology, legend and random esoterica are my guilty pleasure. Thanks to Mummy, I can cook (my grilled chicken is heaven…yes, I can say so myself!) and clean like a seasoned cleaning lady. I’m not very sporty though I enjoy the occasional swim or basketball game; however, thanks to Daddy’s genes, I’m never really out of shape.o:p/o:p/span/span/p span style="font-size:78%;" br / /span p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:78%;"span style="font-size: 8pt;" lang="EN-GB"I’m not sure of what exactly I want to do in college or what exactly I want to be doing in the next couple of years after it.

From hearing Prospero profess his undying love to Miranda for ‘preserving him’, to seeing Miranda go weak in the knees from inner-thigh tremors when she meets Ferdinand for the first time and ‘e’er sighs’ for him, ‘The Tempest’ is laden with sexual undertones in the words of all the characters (ok…more like half). Funnily, quite a while ago I read some theory about how Shakespeare’s work contains a lot of sexual references (can’t remember what exactly). But when a classmate mentioned that Prospero’s dialogue with Miranda was took sexually-connotative and that he was definitely quenching his lustful thirst in an incestuous manner, it set of a chain reaction of finding naughtiness in all Shakespeare’s characters. My favourite by far, though, has to be from Ariel to Prospero, probably because I didn’t expect homosexual yearnings (or quenchings of yearnings?)span style="" /spanto be expressed so openly in Shakespeare’s time:o:p/o:p/span p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;" br /span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Verdana;" lang="EN-GB"o:p/o:p/span/p p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Verdana;" lang="EN-GB"o:p/o:p“Ariel:/span/p p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Verdana;" lang="EN-GB"All hail, great master!

TYE!!!o:p/o:p/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;" lang="EN-GB" So my blogger name has evolved from ‘antye504’ to ‘Tye’. It’s different…but not so different [an(Tye)504]. Reason is simple: ‘Tye’ is my personal muse that is also me. Some may term it alter ego but that’s just spooky; I call it my muse that is also my self. It is what I call my creative force and my creative self.o:p/o:p/span/pp class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:78%;" br //spanspan style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;" lang="EN-GB" o:p/o:p/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;" lang="EN-GB" o:p/o:pWhy the change? Well, ‘Tye’ evolved from a pretty lame alteration (I will not reveal it) of my real name ‘Nana Takyi’ by someone; sounded something like a British accent gone wrong. Then my best friend modified it to ‘Tye’. And I began sign off various things as ‘Tye’. Then I began to sign my writings and poetry, and began to sing as ‘Tye’.o:p/o:p/span/pp class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:78%;" br //spanspan style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;" lang="EN-GB" o:p/o:p/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;" lang="EN-GB" o:p/o:pThen I began to contribute to another blog and for the comfort of anonymity, became ‘antye504’; Just in case I said something radical or worst case scenario plain stupid it would not be traced back to me. It’s my email address too so it was kind of convenient in a weird kind of way. Then I started ‘Expression amp; Poesy’ and the error carried forward. But the games up.o:p/o:p/span/pp class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:78%;" br //spanspan style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;" lang="EN-GB" o:p/o:p/span/pp class="MsoNormal"span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;" lang="EN-GB" o:p/o:pI’m still Nana Takyi Baffour-Awuah, antye504, Tye, whatever you know me as, but when you read pieces of my ‘mind-soul’ you will see ‘posted by Tye’ at the bottom because it is less confusing and because ‘Tye’ creates them…at least for now.o:p/o:p/span/p div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6159782512732254458-8460594787223790791?l=expressionandpoesy.blogspot.com' alt='' //div -

People need to take into account other people’s feelings and learn to be less selfish and self-opinionated. People need to watch the things they say and how they say them; what you think is not always wise or right, and just because you have freedom of speech does not mean you can spew the first thing that pops in your head. People need to be able to correct things in their lives before the mock the ‘flaws’ in another’s, and people need to learn to shut up and stop ranting about ‘crimes’ they commit themselves; Like a man beating up his wife and telling the cops that they’re handling him too roughly…?!

» Expression Poesy p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family: Verdana;"Phew! I’m finally, finally done with the torment of the end-of-year demons.

II PAUSE…
» Expression Poesy span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family: Verdana;"¡Hola, todos! In less than 24 hours I will be sitting ieyeball to eyeball/i with an English HL paper-it will be bloody…for the paper of course...hopefully. Which is partly the reason for this post: My end of semester exams begin tomorrow, commencing a bombardment of Economic models, Chemical equations, Spanish ¡!, the like so I guess I’ll be away for like a week (If I try hard enough to keep myself away). Do keep me fondly in your prayers and good wishes./spanspan style="font-family: Verdana;"o:p/o:p/span/span p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family: Verdana;"The other reason for this post is to share something I observed this morning. Everyday I walk to and from school along a ‘path’ that is not exactly what you may call user-friendly. Recently I came to realize that even though it is not the most picturesque scene it is quite endearing in its unconventional beauty - the rickety bridge above the diseased-looking drying lake/lagoon, the half-burnt tri-palm (most unusual) amidst very, very weed-infested farmland, even the half-shaded, half-sunned street sprinkled with sheep ipellets/i. It’s all quite charming, after it grows on you, that is./spanspan style="font-family: Verdana;"o:p/o:p/span/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family: Verdana;"However, yesterday while walking back from school I saw what looked like two budding Ethiopian lilies (Google images won’t help) of the palest yellow and deepest red, right in the middle of the weed-trodden farmland, about 2 meters away from the half-burnt tri-palm....It was simply beautiful. But as always I didn’t have a camera (I know, flop). Regardless I had to stop and stare for a bit, hoping that I would see it bloom./spanspan style="font-family: Verdana;"o:p/o:p/span/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family: Verdana;"This morning it had bloomed: breathtaking beauty in the most unlikely place. The pale petals facing the earth coyly as though they were unsure of their beauty; it was simply exquisite and as I walked I thought to myself:/spanspan style="font-family: Verdana;"o:p/o:p/span/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"ispan style="font-family: Verdana;"Its interesting how you can find beauty in the most unlikely places, all you have to do is open you heart and mind to it/span/ispan style="font-family: Verdana;"o:p/o:p/span/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family: Verdana;"Consequently a poem I’ve loved since our first encounter came to mind: William Wordsworth’s iShe Dwelt Among the st1:street st="on"st1:address st="on"Untrodden Ways/st1:address/st1:Street./i Hope you enjoy it and remember to think of me (and my exams) whenever you ask for grace and guidance./spanspan style="font-family: Verdana;"o:p/o:p/span/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"ispan style="font-family: Verdana;"She dwelt among the untrodden waysbr /Beside the springs of Dove,br /A Maid whom there were none to praisebr /And very few to love:br /br /A violet by a mossy stonebr /Half hidden from the eye!br /Fair as a star, when only onebr /Is shining in the sky.br /br /She lived unknown, and few could knowbr /When Lucy ceased to be;br /But she is in her grave, and, oh,br /The difference to me!/span/ispan style="font-family: Verdana;"o:p/o:p/span/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family: Verdana;"PS: Turns out the flower as most beauty is was ephemeral; it had withered on my walk back from school so my hopes of getting a picture to post have been dashed.

Seek Ye First His Kingdom...
» Expression Poesy p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"Church was amazing this Sunday!o:p/o:p/span/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"Not because I was clad head to toe in black suit and sliver of yellow down my chest. Not because I knew the hymns they sang and not because I saw my favorite teacher after a very long absence of like 2 months….Well, of course all this contributed to the awesomeness of the whole thing, but above all else church was such a glamorous affair for me because the preacher delivered a message that really hit home. The sermon was on something I had been pondering the whole week through: It was on what truly matters; life’s purpose.o:p/o:p/span/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"Prior to this Sunday, all week I had been feeling disconnected from God. I hadn’t been to church in a while and a concerned friend (God bless your precious heart, Yasmine) came to ask about the reason for my absence. For like a month my buddy and I had not stepped in His presence and she wanted a reason….yup, nothing justifiable- school, stress, homework, the list was long and meaningless.o:p/o:p/span/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"This is when she started telling me about a book she had started reading which was changing the way in which she perceived life: i style=""The Purpose Driven Life. /iI had heard about it, but never read it. Its message was simple: There is so much more to life than getting the best grades, riding in the fastest cars and getting into the best college. Of course these things are of some importance, but life is so much more than chasing after and hanging unto material things which are but ephemeral in comparison to eternity.o:p/o:p/span/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"I pondered these things all-week and was quite pleasantly surprised when mid-week I met further inspiration in the form of a stranger (but that’s for another day, its far too complex and freaky for this post).o:p/o:p/span/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"So ffwd to Sunday. Here I am all-dressed up feeling all joyous in the Lord and in His presence when the sermon begins and the preacher (Bro. Daniel Quaye, I cannot forget his name) speaks about my very thoughts. I cannot describe the extent to which I felt my lips stretch into a silly grin, and the number of times I felt like leaping into the air and breaking into to song were no less than 3.o:p/o:p/span/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"“Seek ye first the st1:place st="on"st1:placetype st="on"kingdom/st1:placetype of st1:placename st="on"God/st1:placename/st1:place, and all other things shall be added unto you”, “Seek and you shall find”. Can God be anymore explicit? i style=""And/i kind?o:p/o:p/span/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"Your sole objective should be to find the Lord (because if you seek Him, you will find Him) and all the things you desire (and even those you do not) shall come to you in abundance beyond words. Now tell me, how can you argue against this? Unless you are stupid or high or both why would you rather fret and struggle for the transient things. The transient things, all of which you cannot accumulate, when you can simply find The Single Thing which comes with an extended package that will over-satisfy you? Think about it…o:p/o:p/span/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"I told my friend about this and yes, he tried to counter this argument but guess what? When he switched his radio on this morning, the preacher was talking about-you guessed it-the transient, mutable present and the eternity and abundance of his favor that NOONE can snatch away from you! Double freaky!!o:p/o:p/span/span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"Now, it’s easier to breathe and live because no matter what tries to faze me I have peace in the storm because I KNOW that because I have found His kingdom, life is just a breeze that tries to brag sometimes /spanspan style="font-family:Wingdings;"span style="";)/span/spanspan style="font-family:Verdana;"o:p/o:p/span/span/pdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6159782512732254458-2808840064441306350?l=expressionandpoesy.blogspot.com'//div -

TOK TRIP...hmmm
» Expression Poesy p class="MsoNormal" style=""span style="font-size:85%;"ispan style="font-family:Verdana;"Below is an account of the first Theory of Knowledge trip the SOS - HGIC class of 2010 took to Abadi. It was different and enlightening but most of all very fun and i hope the sense of excitement carries through. *There's like one or two inside jokes i think, but i trust this will not mar the piece for you -it was initially written for the school magazine. /span/ispan style="font-family:Verdana;"o:p/o:p/span/span/p p class="MsoNormal" style=""span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"So we left the school like a minute or two after 3pm (so technically we were OFF SCHEDULE, YES I was looking forward to that) and got to Abadi at roughly 4:30pm, I believe. Sadly we left the charming females by the lake and looked for encampment further up in the dark dangerous hills. Much to the dismay of certain people who thought themselves a trio of wise men, they got to sleep in the village huts on HAAAARD beds, the lucky ones got the ever-so comfy chalets and the hardest bunch of 22 guys got to sleep in the bar surrounded by a myriad of booze bottles, [shout outs to Mr. Togbor and the female bartender (was her name Esther or something?)] a TV with DsTV which was unavailable and an AC which decided to breakdown when it was most needed.br /br /OK, so we settled in and then the charming females came up to join us on our side where we had supper and then went on to do an activity. Firstly, we were shown a jar of candy and told to estimate how many pieces were in it -at this point I thought this was pretty dull. Later we did another activity. Surprisingly (for me at least), i found this quite interesting for many reasons- Firstly because the task was unusual and secondly because our initial idea underwent mind-boggling modification before our final answer. Also, it was quite amusing and intriguing as to how other peoples ideas made so much more sense(and vice-versa;) that it made you wonder what kept you from thinking further. Oh almost forgot the task: We were split into our different class groups (for some reason green was supposed to disperse so I joined Blue) and each group was given a black box with something in it. We were supposed to describe the structure of the box and what could be in it.br /br /After this we were advised to break up into our groups to prepare for the presentation on Saturday morning. Needless to say some did, others didn’t- C'est la vie. I met with my group by the bar (strange location...?) and we were done in like 10mins. Everybody else was done at about then and somehow the barroom turned into some mini concert hall with me and Ibi on the vocals and Elom on the strings and Zahra and Nah D.....well i guess they could pass for the video girls. Oh yes, all this while Mrs. Hutchful hung out with ‘The Boys’ trying hard to not look thoroughly bored at being surrounded by an excess of testosteronebr /br /OK, ffwd, the girls eventually leave *sniff* and it’s literally Boys Night Out. Between ordering countless plates of chicken and drink (nothing naughty, pinky swear), Isaac telling Mr. Togbor about IB HGIC and his whole life story, James browning Isaac, Albert and Jerry thinking they were too deep to let go of their earphones and Leonard just causing havoc among other things we somehow got through the night up until Kamau decided that people needed to sleep and so the lights had to go but the voices could remain below hearing threshold. Consequently, Albert got into deep philosophical discussion with Kimi, Jerry stole my sleeping bag even though I was lending it to him, I tried to steal Caleb’s pillow and at about 3am I DID steal James’s cover cloth- sorry blad but I was cold. Oh yes, I did see Mr. Togbor boozing and then picking a mattress of me to sleep on (this resulted in my pilfering of James’s cloth- his expression was priceless in the morning!)o:p/o:p/span/span/p span style="font-size:85%;"u1:p/u1:p/span p class="MsoNormal" style=""span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"u1:p/u1:pThe next day we were supposed to get ready at about 6: 30, before the girls arrived. The chalets’ water wasn’t running (its called karma) and hence all bathing was done in some basement-like bathroom and a hut serving as a bathroom further down in the Village. The charming members of the opposite sex arrived and we had breakfast. Do I need to state that at this point I was a bunch of nerves because the presentations started immediately after breakfast? o:p/o:p/span/span/p span style="font-size:85%;"u1:p/u1:p/span p class="MsoNormal" style=""span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"u1:p/u1:pAnyway the presentations started with the Red, Blue and Purple groups beginning the day. I cannot remember which group I joined but it had presentations from Paapa’s group and Harriet’s group and was evaluated by Kamau and Mwalimu. I was very entertained, informed but mostly intimidated especially by Harriet’s group which was especially impressive with an in depth dissection of the subject of Knowing Beauty or The Perception of Beauty (they flagrantly exceeded the time limit though. Ha!). Sources say the other groups were also very good but I can only base this knowledge on language…After this session we had snack.o:p/o:p/span/span/p span style="font-size:85%;"u1:p/u1:p/span p class="MsoNormal" style=""span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"u1:p/u1:pDrum roll, trumpets blow, my group is the first group for the second session (At this point we had been split into two groups-Green, Yellow). Contrary to my expectation it went better than expected. We talked about language as a way of knowing and it’s role in limiting or redefining knowledge with the Biafra War as the case study, David dropping a couple of jokes(?) here and there. Sadly, Mr.Kitching felt that the topic wasn’t completely dealt with*sniff*. Zahra’s group talked about knowing when killing is justified and Dwayne’s group talked about Mathematics and the mathematician lack of the ability to express himself – Gartaa, trust him, would not take this and this made for some comic relief. I hear Yasmine’s presentation and Ibi’s presentation, both on History, were engaging and insightful (respect!) We were then asked to evaluate our own presentations.o:p/o:p/span/span/p span style="font-size:85%;"u1:p/u1:p/span p class="MsoNormal" style=""span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"u1:p/u1:pLunch was next- a choice between banku and jollof. Those of us who considered ourselves European/ Asian/ American/ (any other appropriate description) opted for jollof which by the way someone described as ‘horrid/cardboard-tasting’…. Me, I was hungry and had a third helping as did many others of the male gender (and some females too…). Next thing I knew I was sleeping as were many others until Mr. Kidane came to force us out of Dreamland and all the way to the female encampment. o:p/o:p/span/span/p span style="font-size:85%;"u1:p/u1:p/span p class="MsoNormal" style=""span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"u1:p/u1:pHere we sat by the lake feeling all exotic and in touch with nature till another activity came along. We broke into our larger groups again and were given profiles of a tribe which we were supposed to act like. My group, Green considered itself divine descendants of a king-deity, Gbalazu who was given divine status and grace along with all his descendants by the river god, Abugri. We were then supposed to interact with the other groups bearing our identity in mind. Later we were given another scenario where our island was sinking and we had to share another island with people from other lands. We were shuffled such that there were 4 people from each group in every group. Bearing, our identity in mind we were supposed to come out with a constitution for the island. After arguing our divinity out ¼ hour the meeting somehow disintegrated.o:p/o:p/span/span/p span style="font-size:85%;"u1:p/u1:p/span p class="MsoNormal" style=""span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"u1:p/u1:pSome guys played soccer while others hung out in the girls’ rooms…well, until Mrs. Hutchful seemed to think that this was risky (lol! with a large number of both sexes in an uneven ratio). Eventually the guys left to shower and get ready for supper and the looooong -awaited jam.o:p/o:p/span/span/p span style="font-size:85%;"u1:p/u1:p/span p class="MsoNormal" style=""span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"u1:p/u1:pSupper was Fried rice and Chicken which could definitely have done with some spice. Then somewhere between trying to fix the obdurate AC and Jerry and Edwin doing things with the music the jam, started… it was insanely hot (the weather, that is) and the speakers bungled twice. Eventually, it was moved to Chalet 1(or was it 3?), where I can only say it was a success, thanks to HAMJ. All this time, Paapa, Anna and Edwin (Buddha himself) were making the kebabs- thanks guys, Bra Albert is proud of you. o:p/o:p/span/span/p span style="font-size:85%;"u1:p/u1:p/span p class="MsoNormal" style=""span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"u1:p/u1:pThe girls left after exchanging jets of water from water sachets with the guys outside. The night ended with more chicken and a discussion on dwarves (yes, its true) among other things by which time I had seized Leonard’s sofa.o:p/o:p/span/span/p span style="font-size:85%;"u1:p/u1:p/span p class="MsoNormal" style=""span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"u1:p/u1:pSunday, we had breakfast and got back our estimates of the quantity of sweets and were supposed to come up with consensual estimates (experiential ones) for our groups (the Black Box ones). Sefa then won the jar with an estimate of 214 sweets, which was actually 210, I think (st1:city st="on"st1:place st="on"st1:city st="on"st1:place st="on"London/st1:place/st1:city/st1:place/st1:city juju) and all hands were on deck for its consumption. Next, we were supposed to make 2min evaluation-presentation of the blog. Reviews were generally good but EVERY group wanted bifacebook/i/b unblocked (hint, hint). Some more chicken and then we hit the road. En route, Isaac organized a turkey-backside (chofi/kyofi) feast at the back of bus and Paapa killed some aboloo. I’m not sure when we got back but expressions were ambivalent.o:p/o:p/span/span/p span style="font-size:85%;"u1:p/u1:p/span p class="MsoNormal" style=""span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"u1:p/u1:pThis trip taught me that the idea of 22 boys sleeping in a bar is not as absurd as it sounds, opening one’s mind to other opinions does wonders and that I have to get out of IB!o:p/o:p/span/span/p span style="font-size:85%;"u1:p/u1:p/span p class="MsoNormal" style=""span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"u1:p/u1:pPretty long; guess I got carried away by the memorieso:p/o:p/span/span/p span style="font-size:85%;"u1:p/u1:p/span p class="MsoNormal" style=""span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-family:Verdana;"u1:p/u1:p*Did I mention that the bus left 2 people and that the dwarves had their revenge on Isaac? -Only in the graduating class of 2010!*o:p/o:p/span/span/p span style="font-size:85%;"u1:p/u1:p/span p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size:85%;"o:p /o:p/span/pdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6159782512732254458-1435427551975038883?l=expressionandpoesy.blogspot.com'//div -

ALL-TIME MUST-READ BOOKS...
» Expression Poesy span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;" If you've ever felt like there's no book for you, my condolences...but there's a light at the end of the tunnel and it is my appointed duty to lead you to it. Je te presente, six of the ultimate best in modern (and not so modern) literature...Works you may read for the very first time and works you may love to read againbr /br /Wine, dine and unwind as you indulge in the sumptuous works of some of the most brilliant minds and imaginations...br /br /THE CHRISTMAS TRAIN- David Baldaccibr /The perfect book for the holiday season, Baldacci's words will make you yearn for Christmas like no other book has. It is the light-hearted tale of a disillusioned journalist who must get from Washington to L.A. in time for Christmas. By a fortunate (or not so fortunate) twist of fate, he is forced to travel by train, resulting in encounters with characters from your very own life and a hilarious, thrilling tale. This book will touch your heart and keep you smiling the whole book through. *Watch out for Agnes Joe- muy fenomenal!*br /br /THE GREEN MILE- Stephen Kingbr /If you have watched the motion picture, you will love the book. Green Mile is the (sometimes eerie) story of life on death row. Here you will be introduced to characters from the psychopathic "Billy the Kid" to the possessed Eduard Delacroix and John Coffey. Accused of raping and murdering two young girls, Coffey has been sentenced to death. Come explore with King, Coffey's guilt and discover for yourself, the intricacies of this demon's personality... (Angel...?)br /br /TRYPTICH- Karin Slaughterbr /This is by far one of the best books I have ever, ever read. Set in the past present and future, it is a book true to its title. When Detective Michael Ormewood is faced with one of the most brutal killings in his career, he does not know that it is only the beginning of a string of equally gruesome murders linked to his past... A past so dark and ridden with secrets it cannot and will not stay buried. This book will make you ponder your life's decisions and the people you hold dear...br /br /THE HOMING- John Saulbr /Three words- light, deep HORROR. Karen Spellman is moving with her children to the countryside with hopes of rewriting her life on a fresh, clean slate...but something sinister awaits the Spellmans; a hideous evil of nature itself fashioned in the very pits of Hades. It has waited hard and long for its perfect victim...and the Spellmans fit the specifications quite accurately. It may not appeal to all but this book will make you squirm and literally look over your shoulder even in the light of day.br /br /ANGELS amp; DEMONS- Dan Brownbr /This novel beats The Da Vinci Code. HANDS DOWN. Its is an amazing mystery woven round the Catholic Church, the legendary Illuminati and the little-known (to the scientifically bankrupt…and others) antimatter. Set in Vatican City, Robert Langdon, a Harvard Symbologist believes his sole mission is to stop the secretive Illuminati from destroying the Vatican City with the newly-discovered power of antimatter. However, you and he together will discover that there's always more beneath the surface. Absolutely enchanting! Literally Un-put-down-able!!br /br /WAITING TO EXHALE- Terry McMillanbr /This book is authentically black, completely undiluted and absolutely delicious. The book is based on 4 'sistas' and their relationships with men and one another. All 4 are waiting for the day they can feel comfortable in a committed relationship with a man; they are 'waiting to exhale'. This book explores the complexities of life and the fundamental things that make us laugh and cry. No matter the color of your skin, this book is sure to move you to tears and/or make you fall over in rumbles of laughter. As good as the motion picture.br /br /There are definitely other books that will no doubt tickle your fancy, regardless of your personality. However, I am a busy man with a very busy life and an education I’m committed to, so you shall be guided further down this path in the next edition. Hasta pronto!br /br /“Books are the windows through which the soul looks out”br /-Henry Ward Beecher-br //spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6159782512732254458-8359968808185269382?l=expressionandpoesy.blogspot.com'//div -
