Colleen hoover all your perfects summary5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() You see after reading Ugly Love, I went out to the bookstore and bought every book of hers that I could get my hands on. Reading that book, Ugly Love, also started one of my favorite binge reads of all time. Me and my favorite shirt, with my favorite line from Slammed. ![]() ![]() The fact that after over almost 6 years of reading her books they’re all still with me? Well that my friends is the true tell of an amazing writing and storyteller. Years later, I can still remember reading each and every one of her books, where I was, how I felt, what I was thinking. She gave me something with that book, and every book after, that will stay with me forever. The first time I was lucky enough to meet Colleen Hoover, I told her that story…because it is truly something I will never forget. It was that book that brought me to Colleen Hoover and her books, and that solidified her as one of my favorite authors. That book made me cry in the middle of an amusement park ride line, and you know what? I fucking loved it. It was a book unlike anything I’d ever read before. It was a book so emotionally gripping, so breathtaking, and so heartbreaking yet utterly beautiful. I can still remember the first time I read a book by Colleen Hoover. ![]() The Human Condition by Hannah Arendt5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() There are key differences between the two versions, including new arrangements of ideas, changes in emphasis and quotations, and new allusions to philosophical and literary traditions. ![]() ![]() This year’s seminar revisits Hannah Arendt’s pivotal work The Human Condition (1958), alongside the German version, Vita activa.

Why, pick up the stick helpfully cleaved by lightning from a tree growing out of his daddy's grave and start meting out justice just like his father, the old sheriff, did.

When Rob saw all those rows and rows of dogs in cages, knowing that most of them would probably be put to death, he began sobbing. With much coaxing, Rob agreed to accompany Emily to the local animal shelter “just to look” at dogs. Rob thought Emily was being unreasonable. Emily thought Rob was being cold and unfeeling. They went through several weekends during which all they did was fight about the dog issue. ![]() In his logical, analytical way, Rob gave her every reason why the timing was not right, for example: How could you show the house with a puppy running around, peeing on the floor? On an intellectual level, Emily knew he was right, but her heart insisted she would be happier with the dog. Emily argued that a dog would provide her with some needed company, and make her feel secure when alone in their home. ![]() At the same time, they argued about whether or not to get a dog. Emily stayed back, preparing their house for a sale. I worked with one couple for whom this was the case: Rob had taken a new job several hours away. Such unplanned, unexpected emotion can often prove overwhelming. Part of the problem for some men may be that they have silenced their feelings for so long that they haven't developed resources for handling them when they do arise. Men’s feelings may take everyone off guard. ![]() |
