![]() At the start of this period the young Cassius Clay lately crowned Olympic light-heavyweight champion, arrives in Miami to begin his professional career in the gym of trainer Angelo Dundee, and it ends with him winning the world heavyweight title from Sonny Liston. The primary timeframe of Cassius X runs from November 1960 to February 1964. (For the purposes of this piece, I’ll refer to Cassius Clay rather than Ali, to avoid confusion.) But the book also echoes Stuart Cosgrove’s recent Soul Trilogy by exploring the development of black music in the Sixties, against the backdrop of the wider black experience in the period.Ĭassius Clay/Muhammed Ali - jive talkin'! ![]() ![]() Well, the “hook” for Cassius X may be the early professional boxing career of Cassius Clay, and his migration from that identity to Islam and Muhammed Ali. What’s this? A book about a boxer on a music blog? For why? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The idea to throw the Series came not from outside sources, but from 1st baseman Chick Gandil, who approached a gambling colleague named Sport Sullivan with the idea. And in reality, I should only say seven players, as it became quickly evident that 3rd baseman Buck Weaver wanted no part of the fix. ![]() I won't say conspire, since that is much too strong of a word. Here's the rub: eight White Sox players, tired of being grossly underpaid and appreciated by owner Charles Comiskey, agreed to throw the 1919 World Series against the Cincinnati Reds. If you aren't, and want an extensive summary, I would recommend this site, which provides an excellent summation, as well as other valuable information such as a chronology of events, a diagram of the fix, and a sketch of the eight banished men. To me, it is the great baseball movie, surpassing even Field of Dreams and Bull Durham). Most people are familiar with the story now, thanks to movie adaptations of both this book and Field of Dreams (I can't recommend enough John Sayles’ adaptation of Eight Men Out. Originally published in 1963, Eliot Asinof's Eight Men Out is the definitive chronicle of the 1919 Chicago White Sox, and their throwing of the World Series. “If a man can sin with impunity, he will continue to sin-especially if he gets paid for it.” ![]() ![]() ![]() Clea Raymond has felt the glare of the spotlight her entire life. ![]() ![]() Read millions of eBooks and audiobooks on the web, iPad, iPhone and Android.

The first of the science fiction genre, Frankenstein was written in 1823 by Mary Shelley and has inspired not just takes on her work, but an entire genre. ![]() While I’m not a particular fan of manga adaptations of Western works, Manga Classics has opened a door for me, and as a fan of horror, I’ve begun exploring their catalog, first with Draculaand now with Manga Classics Frankenstein. In fact, the teaching resources are complete lesson plans. These adaptations aim to engage young readers with literature in a way that makes it fun and even offers teaching resources per book. ![]() Manga Classics is a line of manga adaptations of “classic” literature intended for a young adult audience. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The plot was short, sweet, and easy to understand. Count Olaf also makes for a despicable villain, I of course never rooted for him but I can’t help but admire how villainously clever he was. The things and inventions they come up with to get themselves out of situations are fantastic and made for some of the most interesting reading. They’re brave and loyal to each other, they’re also very creative and clever. I really loved the characters: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are some exceptional kids who get put through some really awful shit. It’s just a little too simple for me to enjoy it however. The writing is simple to understand, it is for children after all. Just not enough to want to read 12 more books of it, but who knows? Maybe I will one day. I liked this book though, it was entertaining enough. Where Harry Potter can be read by all ages I think A Series of Unfortunate Events is a little too childish for my taste. That being said I think the books are on par with it but they are aimed at younger children. ![]() I actually watched the movie long before I even considered reading this book or this series and I loved it, it’s still a great movie. My library had the ebook so I just shrugged my shoulders and read it for fun. I never read this series when I was a kid, I was too busy with Harry Potter to give this one any thought. ![]() ![]() ![]() This year's list is focused on younger readers, but we did include a few books for older kids. ![]() But there was one easy decision: A few years ago, we did a summer list based on All Things Considered's Backseat Book Club of great reads for kids from 9 to 14. ![]() Now, we understand that half the fun of a list is arguing about what didn't make it on - and our judges had to make some hard choices.

We asked you to tell us about your favorite kids' books, from board books for babies to great read-alouds to early chapter books and even a few books for older readers.

Camps and schools and activities have shut down during the pandemic, leaving kids and caregivers stuck at home and climbing the walls - and sometimes the garden fences. ![]() ![]() Where is his ID and cell phone? Why hasn’t his wife and son come for him? Why do the residents of the town view him with such contempt? Why are there no cars on the road? Why does nobody ever leave? Why do the phones not work the way they are supposed to? Why does the main road that leads out of town loop back right into town? And most ominous of all, what is the purpose of the huge electrified fence circling the town? Is it to keep residents from leaving or to prevent someone or something from entering?
