THE long service of praise and thanksgiving was well-nigh over when I first saw her.She sat some ten feet from me, in the corner, and so in the shadow of a tall pew. Beyond her was a row of milkmaid beauties, red of cheek, free of eye, deep-bosomed, and beribboned like Maypoles. I looked again, and saw—and see—a rose amongst blowzed poppies and peonies, a pearl amidst glass beads, a Perdita in a ring of rustics, a nonparella of all grace and beauty! As I gazed with all my eyes, I found more than grace and beauty in that wonderful face,—found pride, wit, fire, determination, finally shame and anger. For, feeling my eyes upon her, she looked up and met what she must have thought the impudent stare of an appraiser. Her face, which had been without color, pale and clear like the sky about the evening star, went crimson in a moment. She bit her lip and shot at me one withering glance, then dropped her eyelids and hid the lightning. When I looked at her again, covertly, and from under my hand raised as though to push back my hair, she was pale once more, and her dark eyes were fixed upon the water and the green trees without the window.The congregation rose, and she stood up with the other maids. Her dress of dark woolen, severe and unadorned, her close ruff and prim white coif, would have cried “Puritan,” had ever Puritan looked like this woman, upon whom the poor apparel had the seeming of purple and ermine.- Taken from "To Have and to Hold" written by Mary Johnston

First and foremost I have to say, you have a great and profound brain on your shoulders, for making the most intelligent choice of choosing Ziegfried the Zombie’s Good Eats Guide: Your One Stop Shop for “No Brainer” Recipes. This cook book was named so, for it’s brilliant 2 ingredient recipes, which will not utilize a lot of brain power to make, thankfully. Lord knows I need all the help I can get. It seems no matter how many brains I consume, I just never have enough brain power longevity to comprehend or maintain even a reasonable thought. That’s why I love this cook book. I promise you will not have to exert a lot of much needed brain power. Most of the recipes presented in this book go great with brains, whether raw, fried, baked, broiled, poached, grilled or boiled. We start you out with lovely 2 ingredient adult beverages sure to wet the palate and wash the brains down nicely. Then we present several side dishes to compliment my most favored delectable main course choice: brains, with a couple of main course dishes and last but not least, dessert. (However, you can skip dessert, since brains render a certain sweetness unlike any other, especially the young, tender, juicy ones).There is no food like “brain” food. All hail the medulla oblongata!

"Mary Johnston's THE LONG ROLL and CEASE FIRING are quite possibly the best Civil War novels ever written..." Cease Firing picks up where Mary Johnston’s previous book, The Long Roll leaves off. We rejoin Richard Cleave, the Confederate artillery officer, as he fights to regain his reputation and his honor. In the process, he experiences the battles of Vicksburg, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, the Wilderness, Kennesaw Mountain and others. Cleave can sense that the war is being lost; and he is torn between that knowledge and his sense of duty and honor. Through it all, Johnston’s attention to historical detail never falters as we are realistically propelled into Cleave’s fascinating world. Prominently featured also is Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston, from whom Mary Johnston is descended. “Romances of the Civil War we have ad nauseum; but the war was no romance. In Cease Firing... we have the raw war itself.” The New York TimesSunday Review of Books

What happens when a girl, homeschooled by her counterculture mother, decides to spend her senior year in public school? First friendship, first love—and first encounters with the complexities of authority and responsibility. Evie is different. Not just her upbringing—though that’s certainly been unusual—but also her mindset. She’s smart, independent, confident, opinionated, and ready to take on a new challenge: the Institution of School. It doesn’t take this homeschooled kid long to discover that high school is a whole new world, and not in the ways she expected. It’s also a social minefield, and Evie finds herself confronting new problems at every turn, failing to follow or even understand the rules, and proposing solutions that aren’t welcome or accepted. Not one to sit idly by, Evie sets out to make changes. Big changes. The movement she starts takes off, but before she realizes what’s happening, her plan spirals out of control, forcing her to come to terms with a world she is only just beginning to comprehend. J. J. Johnson’s powerful debut novel will enthrall readers as it challenges assumptions about friendship, rules, boundaries, and power.
