Eleanor & Park 

Hardcover – February 26, 2013



Eleanor is the new girl in town, and she's never felt more alone. All mismatched clothes, mad red hair and chaotic home life, she couldn't stick out more if she tried. Then she takes the seat on the bus next to Park. Quiet, careful and - in Eleanor's eyes - impossibly cool, Park's worked out that flying under the radar is the best way to get by. Slowly, steadily, through late-night conversations and an ever-growing stack of mixed tapes, Eleanor and Park fall in love. They fall in love the way you do the first time, when you're 16, and you have nothing and everything to lose. Set over the course of one school year in 1986, Eleanor and Park is funny, sad, shocking and true - an exquisite nostalgia trip for anyone who has never forgotten their first love.

The Gnostic Notebook: Volume Three: On Plato, the Fourth Dimension, and the Lost Philosophy   Kindle Edition The last time we saw the author, he had just broken off his presentation of the seven key parables of Jesus, with only three remaining. These were the seven canonical parables identified within the Secret Book of James, the successful interpretation of which is supposedly sufficient to unlock the mysteries hidden within the teachings of Jesus. Lambert claimed that he was unable to continue without first revealing an "alternative philosophical/cosmological system based on the properties" possessed by structures built from tightly packed spheres of specific quantities.  Now he is back with a new book which documents his quest for this mysterious system. Follow along as Lambert searches for evidence of this secret system in the most peculiar of places from Salvador Dali's Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus) through Plato's Allegory of the Cave to the very f...
