![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Thoughts are born at the back of me, like sudden giddiness, I feel them being born behind my head. I am the one who pulls myself from the nothingness to which I aspire: the hatred, the disgust of existing, there are as many ways to make myself exist, to thrust myself into existence. At this very moment, it's frightful, if I exist, it is because I am horrified at existing. My thought is me: that's why I can't stop. Because that's still a thought."

Naturally, The Realm of the Elderlings saga -Robin Hobb’s most well-known work- is originally divided into four trilogies, one tetralogy, one novella, and six short stories. Whether you casually picked one of the Robin Hobb books, read about them, or some good friend told you to check them out, you probably got here with the same question both old and new fans come across at some point in this journey: “How do you read the Robin Hobb books in order?” Last updated on January 5th, 2023 at 12:40 am ![]() ![]() ![]() Nancy Drew was not originally supposed to be the fierce, fearless and feminist heroine that she became.

The book is ambitious and thorough, but Gleick has a tough assignment when he follows Feynman in retelling stories that the scientist himself had already narrated. He has performed a monumental task of sifting through Feynman’s papers and interviewing many of the important figures in his life. It is Gleick’s aspiration to use Feynman’s life as a window into the history of modern physics, our “modern secular religion,” as Gleick calls it. ![]() ![]() ![]() If there is a problem in Civil War history that he has not fully worked out to his satisfaction, he has the modesty to say so.
