The works selected will be capacious novels from the mid-nineteenth century through today that possess an abundant writing style or complexity in structure and themes. The notion that reading need not be a solitary activity has special resonance with these novels given that there is much to discuss, elaborat ...

Real Recovery is a podcast where recovered alcoholics Natalie Speakman and Michaelis Jacoby share their experience, strength, and hope - but it's not what you think.

In a day and age of fast paced and brightly colored media on glowing screens, there sits the big book. It is more than a door stop or a place to hide valuable items. But in fact, what can one say about big books? That for some odd reason we either love them or hate them? Why is that? What is the appeal of a big book, yet also the hindrance? Are big books important? Why? And why must they be so heavy? Literally. But also figuratively. In 2017, I have challenged myself to read only big books o ...

Many people believe that, at its core, biological sex is a fundamental, diverging force in human development.
