Why did you choose this product?
I've waited a long time for this couch to come and it was worth the wait. It is definitely the center of attention in my living room. However, the cushions are a bit too small. You can visually see a gap, about an inch, in between the cushions. While I could find this a problem, the fact that I LOVE the couch out weighs that issue. I've purchased some great pillows to distract one from the "mathematical" error....

For decorative room purposes only
When I received this sofa, I was so excited. Luxurious silver nail heads, perfect color for my room (BTW, this is NOT white or off white, but more of a beige-y/very extra light tan). Then I sat on it. Stiff foam; no bounce. Would I return it? Absolutely not because it's for my no-kids zone in my home. Definitely not an every day sitting sofa. The fabric is a linen, a little on the thinner fabric side but not bad for the price. Maybe it's was just my sofa but the seat cushions are a tad bit smaller than the actual length of the seat area; not noticeable unless you're really looking. I kinda wish the tufting were a little more deep. All in all, I love the look of my sofa.Read More
Questions & Answers
already have the baxton sectional - thought it would be a nice compliment in a loft area
A follow up to my last question of colors of "BEIGE", OVORY, OFF WHITE, and this sofa. If this sofa were off white as it appears, some kind of "WHITE", I WOULD ORDER THIS RIGHT NOW, BUT IT IS CALLED BEIGE, IN THE DESCRIPTION, IN THESE Q & A. As a suggestion, (from an interior designer, fine artist), why doesn't overstock print a type of colorwheel if not with each furniture item, (when thousands are to be spent), then for the site, for us to compare items to, particularly for vague descriptions of color, where the troubles lie, in cases of white off white, beige to tan, then in the reds and blues, which are the most distorted on computer/TV screens? It would surely save much customer service time, with many answers subject to interpretation by the Overstock answerer, who could be color blind, or totally ignorant of hues if a male. Better yet, photograph every white, off white, beige, sofa against a white wall, in natural light without the glare of a huge spotlight making the item also appear white? Re: this particular sofa, are the cushions reversible? Finally, the questions answered here, that we should not have to be writing in to ask, that most won't bother doing, such as the height of the seat, width, depth, foam fill weight, cushion contents, reversible or not, asked over and over again, should automatically be provided, (forgot if are 8 way hand tied heavy gage base), by Ostock, and by the manufacturer to you. A waste of your time and Ostock's money to keep having to look up, of ours to have to keep asking when in the market to buy as I have been, am. I thank you in advance for the answer about the reversibility of these cushions, want to know if this sofa color could be considered an off white? I presume that you do not get to see each sofa in person, or even the swatches? And thanks for reading all my suggestions, comments.
Hello Hurlie, you make some very good suggestions and I will pass on to the appropriate personnel. We are constantly working to upgrade our site and appreciate your suggestions. We are currently researching the questions you ask on this product, and will update as soon as we receive this information. Please be aware that this is a item is at high risk for selling out. Thank you for shopping with us.
Hello hurlie, according to the representative on this item, the sofa is a very light beige. The seat dimensions are 66.7 W x 23.2 D x 20.8 inches H. Unfortunately, we were unable to get the foam weight. The cushion is removable, but no reversible and the fabric is a linen blend. We do not get to see each sofa personally , so we hope this information is helpful. Thank you for shopping with us.
Why is it that almost every "beige" sofa you have appears as off white, even white in the photos? Almost every review about color is regarding a sofa looking much lighter online, than the tan/beige they receive? Plus "beige" generally is very light, while overstock, the manufacturers, seem to label everything from off white, ivory, cream looking items to even dark tan, as beige, or other nebulous colors like cappuccino, or latte? When we go to the trouble to make sure our monitors are as accurate as can be, shouldn't overstock do the same? I would have ordered long ago were it not from seeing so many reviews of "disappointment", (I would be outraged), over the color being "tan" or beige instead of off white as this looks, called beige?
Hello hurlie, we are working from the information provided to us.

Where is this sofa made? Thanks.
Hello sofasogood, this is made in China. Have a great day!
Can you tell me the internal dimensions of this sofa? For example, seat height, depth and width? Thanks.
Hello savvysarah, we apologize for the delay in answering your question, but the information is not yet available. We will update as soon as we receive this information. Thank you for your patience.
Hello savvysarah, we apologize for the delay in getting your this answer. We can now confirm the seat dimension as 66.7 W x 23.2 D x 20.8 inches H. The item is currently out of stock but we expect new inventory towards the end of March 2014. Thank you for your patience.

Its been 50 years since Gramma Anna Aleksandra made these - yummy quick and easy and definitly in the treat category. Wonderful memories.
This was fun to make. It reminded me of going to the fair when we use to eat these all the time. Very easy and the boys just could not wait for them to be done to eat.
Love funnel cakes! My only reason for going to craft fairs, and the kettle corn. Another tip is that you can get those plastic ketchup/mustard squeeze bottles and fill with batter and then squeeze out into the hot oil.
These were fun. Very easy, and wouldn't you know it, just about the time my batter is gone, I start getting the hang of making nice little swirls! Thanks NC! Nick's Mom
I made this for the Zaar World Tour II 2006. I really enjoyed making these. It took some time figuring out how to get it to all stay together by just putting it into the grease but I managed it. These have a very good taste and you can definatly taste the vanilla. I will be making this again!! Enjoy yourself making and eating them!!
This is a fun recipe and a really great one to do for kids!! It was very easy and quick, too. I let some of the ones I did get too thin and they got crispy, but the cakes/cookies I kept thick ended up very soft and really were very similar to cakes that you buy at the fair!! Thank you!! I suspect this will become a favorite at our house!!
ok, these were a huge amount of fun...preparing...I've never had a funnel cake so Mike thought this recipe for sure had too be made! ummmmm Fried dough...covered in sugar...ok 10 stars!!!

The father, who we only know as "Alan", who was waiting for his daughter to get out of school. decided to use that precious time to video tape her fellow classmates busting their butts on an ice filled pathway from the school.
The play by play is pretty entertaining...it's hard to feel sorry for some of the kids, seeing as they keep walking over to the icy patch to mess with it.

Skip to comments.New "Animal Farm" Targets Capitalism
Posted on 12/28/2013 12:45:25 PM PST by VR-21
Actor Andy Serkis is set to direct an upcoming movie adaptation of George Orwells classic novel Animal Farm. But there will be a slight deviation from the storys original focus: rather than serve as a cautionary tale about Communist totalitarianism, this updated version will address Hollywoods predictable, go-to embodiment of evil, the Darth Vader of our time: corporate greed.
Orwells brilliant allegory Animal Farm was written during World War II as a satire on Soviet Communism (and very nearly wasnt published, critical as it was of our Russian ally). It has since been adapted to film twice, a British animated version in the mid-1950s, in which the ending was altered to be more upbeat for its young audience, and a live-action take in 1999 featuring talking animals with the voices of an all-star cast including Kelsey Grammer, Ian Holm, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Patrick Stewart.
Serkis, known primarily for his role as Golem in the epic Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, and as the ape Caesar in the Planet of the Apes reboots, announced that his version would address the political aspects of the novella, but not as overtly as the previous films: First and foremost, we are not making a film about Communism and Stalinism because if Orwell was writing the story today, he would be talking about other relevant topics like globalization and corporate greed, he explained.
(Excerpt) Read more at frontpagemag.com ...
Orwellian Orwellianism. What will the Hollywood leftist scum think of next?
Stalinists have used 1984, Animal Farm, and Fahrenheit 451 as texts for attacking the Western establishment. This comes as no surprise.
Government is the greediest, most corrupt and murderous force on earth. Corporation only exist at the pleasure and service of government.
Doublethink in action.
Commuism and Stalinism are at play as much today.
Look at the Reds infested in government. Look at how they lie without morals about any damn thing. They have the spirit of Stalinists.
Just because we aren't in the gulags yet doesn't mean that proud terrorists like Bill Ayers wouldn't still like to see the Weather Underground's projected "25 million" killed (those who resist political re-education).
Well of course. Why am I not surprised?
First and foremost, we are not making a film about Communism and Stalinism because if Orwell was writing the story today, he would be talking about other relevant topics like globalization and corporate greed, he explained.
RESPONSE to above:
Seems to me the Pigs in Animal Farm were always changing the posted rules or preaching revisionist histories, too.....
Considering the new author's aversion to corporate greed, I assume the finished product will be uploaded to YouTube as a free offering.
"Golem" in Lord of the Rings ?? Already the "journalist" shows he's a clown. . .it's GOLLUM. . .
Any conservative film maker could easily drive this dreck into laughable oblivion.
Double plus good post. And Sirkis will be working for free.
I think it is fair to do a 1984 type movie on capitalism.
Corporatism like Big government is godless, souless, inhuman, unthinking in pursuit of its goals.
Corporatism wants to command and control but at least it will achieve material wealth even if peoples's soul's and spirituality are left wanting.
Big government is after the same thing, command and control, but not only leave's man's spiritual side wanting, it also leaves man's material side wanting as well.
I think Capitalism run amok can be criticized on this level.
And do you believe the practicioners in this case even realize what they're doing?
Somehow, I doubt Serkis even understands his role -- useful idiot -- in all this.
Does he understand that he is, in fact, twisting Orwell into a knot in order to promote Communism and Stalinism?
Does he even know what these things are...???
"We'll tell you what it's about, komrad..."
None of them want anything but the destruction of freedom, of constitutional and consevativ values. I wonder how long it will be before critical movies won't be allowed.
First and foremost, we are not making a film about Communism and Stalinism because if Orwell was writing the story today, he would be talking about other relevant topics like globalization and corporate greed, [Serkis] explained.
Serkis was one of the ones that Orwell warned us about.
Not if they're doing it correctly.
Winston sank his arms to his sides and slowly refilled his lungs with air. His mind slid away into the labyrinthine world of doublethink. To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself. That was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word doublethink involved the use of doublethink.
Hollywood will become irrelevant in the not too distant future, for a variety of reasons.
Might as well trash two British authors at one time...
We will tell you what Orwell would have thought!
Golem in Lord of the Rings ?? Already the journalist shows hes a clown. . .its GOLLUM. . ."
That's precious
It amazes me that these people will never see government greed and manipulation.
Golem in Lord of the Rings ?? Already the journalist shows hes a clown. . .its GOLLUM. . .
Uuuuuh Let's see...this bird treats us to his opinion ....'which are like a-holes, Gully boy, everybody 's got one ...some have 'em on both ends....bwahahah'
"if Orwell was writing the story today, he would be talking about other relevant topics like globalization and corporate greed,
The reason capitalism is "running amok" as you say is that govt is controlling it more and more.
It is not capitalism that is the problem...it is big govt. We need more not less capitalism.
Hey a$$hole... you and the movie studio planning on giving the few dollars you make on this obamanation to the masses?
I don't consider 'corporatism' and capitalism to be the same thing, and there's certainly no dearth of films in existence or in the making which are critical of both for that matter. I guess my objection to this is the revision of a work that was intended specifically to be critical of Soviet style totalitarianism. I haven't seen the new film of course nor would I, but I have little doubt that it's intent is to distort Orwells message. Frankly, like a few other commenters have pointed out, what Serkis is attempting to do is somewhat Orwellian itself.
The fact is they should not call it "Animal Farm" because it will have nothing to do with the original work. Saying its the story he "would have" done now is ludicrous to the extreme.
I agree with you that I wouldn't want the message of ANIMAL FARM distorted. My objection was to people complaining about a movie they probably didn't see. Scorese's movie is over-the-top, of course, but so is the greed and sleaze which he is portraying.
I agree with you GeronL, though I would use the word 'sinister' instead of 'ludicrous.'
I understand your point Grania, and I'm assuming that you're referring to the Wolf of Wall St. film. Few would argue that greed and sleeze are things to be disdained, but I for one would like to see more material about the sleaze and greed of the modern American political class (to include media and academia) and the present cultural elite (like Hollywood). That might balance things out a bit, and perhaps conservatives would then not be so suspicious of the motives behind everything that comes out of Hollywood. Happy New Year to you and yours.
Michael Moore would be perfect for the part if the pig. Storyline is that the pig made a personal fortune making movies demonizing capitalism, and sold a crock of socialism sh*t to the stupid jackasses that pay to see this pile coming to a theater near you!!!
But, somehow, I doubt Serkis has Winston's grasp of the dialectic...
Who raised you, hippies? No corporation can lawfully make you patronize them. They can't force you patronize, they can't levy taxes or fines against you or deprive you of you liberty. A government can do all that.
Good post. The evil corporations guys look at the symptom, not the cause. Without an overweening government to make them huge and suppress competition, without an overweening government to provide guns and police support, without an overweening government to bail them out when they are going broke, they are just another corporation. If the government doesn't have the power to make it worth buying them off, they don't get bought off.
"Capitalism run amok can be criticized on this level."
Capitalism has a hard time running amok without active participation from a government.
So Sméagol/Gollum supports Marxist-Leninism by rewriting one of its most devastating critiques.
Yeah, let's how those greedy Hollywood capitalists! Nobody go to their movies!! Nobody buy their DVDs or watch on Netflix. Crush the Hollywood capitalists!
Anyone who wishes to know what Animal Farm is about need only read it. There isn't anything ambiguous about it. And unless Serkis is channeling Orwell through a Ouija board he probably isn't the most reliable source on what Orwell would have written, especially in the face of what he did write. Idiot.
Good example.

Absolutely; it is written so a child could understand it.
One of the influences that is downplayed in Orwell's writing is his personal experience in the Spanish Civil War. He supported the leftist government by joining the anarchists, and a year later watched them get murdered by their communist brothers in arms in the "civil war within a civil war". He described the unreal propaganda of the left (describing victories where there hadn't even been battles, and burying/omitting defeats that boded ill for the future of the left), and he quickly realized that they had no moral high ground in comparison to the military coup.

Popular Delusions XII: Qi
A popular notion in traditional Asian cultures, as well as the garbled versions of Asian culture imported into the West by the New Age movement, is the idea of qi (or chi), the vital energy that permeates the universe and flows through living things. A wide variety of pseudoscientific beliefs are based on qi, and today's post will examine some of them, through the lens of an article in a local alternative newspaper I picked up touting qi's uses in interpersonal relations and healing.The … [Read more...]
On Agent Causation
Among the band of philosophers who hold that free will is supernatural, one of the reigning ideas is called agent causation. This hypothesis states that volitional acts are a special category of event, one that is caused not by any other event but - in some deeply mysterious way - by the agent itself. Philosopher Roderick Chisholm describes this as follows:If we are responsible... then we have a prerogative which some would attribute only to God: each of us, when we act, is a prime mover … [Read more...]
On Fear and Seeking
Slacktivist, a progressive Christian blogger whom I read regularly, has some words of advice for the new atheists on how best to win converts. You'd wonder why a Christian would want to give advice to atheists about how to do this - indeed, such "advice" is usually just concern trolling when it comes from the religious right - but Slacktivist is a different kind of Christian, emphatically not a member of that political group, and his advice is doubtless in good faith and worth considering. In … [Read more...]
The Contributions of Freethinkers: Frances Wright
Although the success of the feminist movement has secured equal legal rights for women virtually everywhere in the West - a guarantee de jure, if not always de facto - there are still pockets of institutionalized sexism that survive. The Catholic church is the most obvious example, but other Christian denominations also deny the equality of women, such as when over 100 Southern Baptist bookstores refused to display a magazine about female pastors.By contrast, the freethought movement has … [Read more...]

On the Morality of: Patriotism
With the American presidential inauguration soon to arrive, this seems like an opportune time to say some words on patriotism. Is love of country an emotion that can be felt by a freethinker?

The Price of Abstinence
A much-heralded study in the January issue of the journal Pediatrics has concluded that the premarital "abstinence pledges" so beloved by evangelical Christians are ineffective.

They also contract STDs at the same rates … [Read more...]

Rooted in Dust: Surviving Drought and Depression in Southwestern Kansas / Edition 1by Pamela Riney-Kehrberg
Pub. Date: 02/28/1997
Publisher: University Press of Kansas
The Litrells' story and those of thousands of others who rode out the
Fontell Littrell's grandmother was a devout Latter-Day Saint. But when Fontell's father turned to bootlegging and poker to support an extended family of ten during the dirty thirties, her grandmother took it in stride "The Lord works in mysterious ways, his miracles to perform," she rationalized.
The Litrells' story and those of thousands of others who rode out the dust bowl in southwest Kansas are the focus of Pamela Riney-Kehrberg's study of survival in a drought-ridden decade. Unlike other historians, who have dwelt on those who fled hardship, Riney-Kehrberg concentrates on the majority--three-quarters of the population--who endured.
Examining the social impact of drought and depression, she illustrates how both farm and town families dealt with the deprivation by finding odd jobs, working in government programs, or depending on federal and private assistance. Years of tribulation, she shows, affected standards of living, family relationships, city and county finances, land ownership, farm prices and production, population shifts, and politics (traditionally staunchly Republican, southwest Kansas twice voted for Roosevelt). Looking also at the environmental impact, Riney-Kehrberg presents both the negative and positive sides of farming practices and governmental intervention.
Most Kansas persvered for nearly ten years, Riney-Kehrberg emphasizes, and how they adapted indelibly altered their outlook and plans for the future. More than fifty years later, the devastating dust storms continue to affect agricultural practices and policy and the population of southwest Kansas.

Changes in seagrass food-web structure can shift the competitive balance between seagrass and algae, and may alter the flow of energy from lower trophic levels to commercially important fish and crustaceans. Yet, trophic relationships in many seagrass systems remain poorly resolved. We estimated the food web linkages among small predators, invertebrate mesograzers, and primary producers in a Chesapeake Bay eelgrass (Zostera marina) bed by analyzing gut contents and stable C and N isotope ratios. Though trophic levels were relatively distinct, predators varied in the proportion of mesograzers consumed relative to alternative prey, and some mesograzers consumed macrophytes or exhibited intra-guild predation in addition to feeding on periphyton and detritus. These findings corroborate conclusions from lab and mesocosm studies that the ecological impacts of mesograzers vary widely among species, and they emphasize the need for taxonomic resolution and ecological information within seagrass epifaunal communities.

BOSTON -- Tyson Chandler's slim hope of making his first All-Star team were dashed by the commissioner's quick selection of Minnesota Timberwovles double-double machine Kevin Love.
Love will replace the injured Yao Ming to fill out the Western Conference's 12-man roster for the 2011 All-Star game in Los Angeles.
Reserves were announced Thursday night and Love, Chandler, LaMarcus Aldridge and Steve Nash were among those deserving, but left off the team.
Following the announcement of the reserves, Love received a huge outpouring of support, which might or might not have influenced not only David Stern's decision to pick Love, but the speed in which he did so.
While Yao was the fans' choice to start at center, Love's appointment to the team does not put him in the starting lineup. Head coach Gregg Popovich will make that call. Just guessing, but Popovich is not the kind of guy that will just stick reserve Tim Duncan in as the starter because it's his guy. Popovich is more likely to give that spot to Pau Gasol in front of the home-town crowd.
Dirk Nowitzki, picked to his 10th consecutive All-Star team Thursday, will be the lone representative for the Dallas Mavericks.

The U.S. Department of Education (ED) has released 2011-2012 school and district-level state assessment data as well as a brief analysis of School Improvement Grant (SIG) schools. The Department's analysis compares the average proficiency rates of SIG schools in the 2011–2012 school year to rates in the year prior to receiving grants.
School Improvement Grants, authorized under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, are grants to state education agencies (SEAs) that use the funds to make competitive sub-grants to local educational agencies (LEAs). LEAs selected must demonstrate the greatest need for the funds and the strongest commitment to use the funds to provide adequate resources in order to raise substantially the achievement of students in their lowest-performing schools. The SIG program is a key component of the Department's strategy for helping states and districts turn around the nation's lowest-performing schools.
For more information, please visit ED's website and review School Improvement Grant (SIG) Data Analysis or contact Catherine D. Clarke, ASHA's director of education and regulatory advocacy, at [email protected] or 800-498-2071, ext. 5611.

'Eastern Promises'
- Director: David Cronenberg
- Genre: Thriller
- Running Time: 100 minutes
(Requires RealPlayer)
David Cronenberg's follow-up to A History of Violence involves a Russian chauffeur (Viggo Mortensen) who doubles as an undertaker for the mob, a London midwife (Naomi Watts), an infant born of rape, an incriminating diary and a kindly old restaurant owner (Armin Mueller-Stahl) who is not remotely what he seems.
It also includes a number of grisly assassination attempts by members of the vory v zakone — otherwise known as the Russian mafia — all filmed with harrowing realism by longtime Cronenberg cinematographer Peter Suschitzky.
One struggle to the death between a nude Mortensen and two black-clad, knife-wielding thugs in an old London bathhouse is almost operatic in its violence. Cronenberg fans will be elated.

Product Description
Nabokov can move you to laughter in the way that masters can - to laughter that is near to tears (Guardian) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Book Description
One of the best-loved of Nabokov's novels, PNIN features his funniest and most heartrending character. Professor Timofey Pnin is a haplessly disoriented Russian émigré precariously employed on an American college campus in the 1950s. Pnin struggles to maintain his dignity through a series of comic and sad misunderstandings, all the while falling victim both to subtle academic conspiracies and to the manipulations of a deliberately unreliable narrator. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.See all Product Description

Pnin is endearing and lovable, while at the same time being consistently cringeworthy or absurd. He exploits are painted vividly on a meticulously realised backdrop of Nabokovian Americana. Familiar settings like universities and diners are embued with fresh life - descriptions I may have been tempted to skim in another book bear repeated re-readings.
Beauty is to be expected from Nabokov, but the strength of the humour may surprise you. The physical imagery of Pnin, with his strange, top heavy body and bald head combines with verbal humour ( "I never go in a hat even in winter") very effectively.
An undercurrent to the humour is that Pnin is frequently at the wrong end of it - the reader snickers at some gaffe poor Pnin has made, but in the next passage frowns at other characters laughing at him too.
It's short, but its images and scenes will leave a stronger imprint on your memory than most longer novels. I can definitely see myself rereading this in years to come.
Pnin is one of his finer creations: an inhibited academic, whose past is laced with pain and betrayals, he lives a little life from all appearences. Yet within him is a being of extraordinary sympathy and quirky intelligence, which floursihes under Nabokov's comic and tragic gaze. Only those who come to love him experience the treasure that lies within him, and as he is revealed to the reader, who can fall in love with him or not. Though very little occurs in this book in terms of plot, Pnin's existence takes on a kind of significance. THe reader comes to acccept his limitations while feeling such an acute ache of sympathy for him.
Warmly recommended, but it isn't for everybody.
I listened to the reading by Stefan Rudnicki for Brilliance Audio, which is on 5 CDs. It was my first encounter with Nabokov.
The book left me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, the language is startlingly original, packed with memorable images and phrases. The skyline of New York, for example, is compared to a bar chart; Pnin is said to have discarded a football by means of 'defenestration'. It is also very funny: Pnin's unusual English proves a consistent pleasure.
Yet there is something tricksy about it. Some parts of the story are told by an omniscient narrator; later, an unidentified first person narrator takes up the story. It is all rather confusing, and in the end I wasn't quite sure what happened to Pnin. Perhaps all would become clear on a second listen.
Despite this reservation, it is clearly a work of quality. I would recommend it to others new to Nabokov.

Both Neosho seventh grade basketball teams remain undefeated in the early stages of the season after whipping McDonald County in a pair of games on Monday at Neosho Middle School.
The Lady Wildcats benefited from 10-point efforts from both Cami Roy and Jessica VanLear to thump the Lady Mustangs 44-8 in the 'A' game.
Makalya Hayes chipped in eight points in the victory while Allison Burr added six, Ashley Talley and Caitlin Jordan four and Amy Morris two.
The 'B' game was just as lopsided as Amadiyah Hames scored 10 points to lead Neosho to its 42-4 victory. Emilee Anderson, Lyndsey Linney and Ashley Talley each scored six points for Neosho while Jordan and Morris had four each and Hayes, VanLear and Alyssa Sanders had two.
Neosho, now 2-0 to begin the season, plays host to Joplin at 5 p.m. Thursday at Neosho Middle School. The 'A' game will tip first, followed by the 'B' team with the eighth graders following.

Take action now to urge your Senators to pass H.R. 3700. The "Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016," makes needed reforms to the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) condominium loan program, federal assisted housing programs and Rural Housing Service loan programs.

The House of Representatives passed this bill unanimously with a bipartisan vote of 427-0 and now we need the Senate to act!

This is the start of Allan's journey (into perhaps a fourth age?), and he becomes involved with a variety of characters - some criminal, and some merely suspect - and is also involved in a several deaths along the way. All Allan really wants is somewhere to live, a bit of company and a plentiful supply of vodka, but he get a great deal more than he has bargained for as his adventures begin. The present-day narrative is interspersed with Allan's back story from his youth until the present, and he has led a very eventful life. His expertise in the field of explosives has led him round the world (sometimes accidentally), and he has come into contact with, among others, President Truman, Mao Tse Tung, and Stalin; all, again, accidentally. He has a charming, almost innocent approach to life, and is a most endearing character. While he has no interest whatsoever in politics, he somehow can't avoid becoming involved, and changes sides as fate dictates, with scant regard to his own safety.
This is a thoroughly enjoyable romp of a novel. What is particularly satisfying is that the humour (and at times, this novel is very funny indeed) translates beautfully from the Swedish, so full marks to the translator, who has done a wonderful job. My only (tiny) reservation would be that some of the descriptive passages are a little over-long, but I have no hesitation in recommending the book. I don't think anyone can fail to enjoy it.
But this does take up large, key sections of the book and it breaks the pace of the story, so I can see that some readers would find it distracting and even dull. But if you have the patience, an odd sense of humour and a little bit of interest in the past 100 years or so of history, it is a very rewarding experience.
The odd events that befall Alan on his travels are the more interesting sections of the book and will be the most rewarding for most readers, certainly I found them the most humorous, but I was pleasantly surprised by the chapters that jump back into Alan's bizarre past.
I would recommend this book to a lot of my friends, but not to all of them, the same would apply to the good folk of Amazon - don't try it if your easily distracted but if your a more . . . tolerant (yes, that's the word) reader then I think your in for a rewarding experience !
I won't detail the plot, you can see that from the other reviews, and by reading the blurb, that it concerns an eccentric pensioner with attitude, with a life story to match, who holds one's attention all through the book. He needs his vodka and can't stand the thought of his Centenary party at the old people's home in which he has ended up where the Matron has been attempting to institutionalise him and take all the joy of choice from his life so, on a sudden whim, he hops out of the window and legs it to the bus station. The other sudden whim, nearly his undoing, was to then hop on the bus with someone else's suitcase, entrusted to him by the owner, who had popped into the loo. So the tale begins.
It is peopled by real political leaders acting in fairly unbelievable ways (at least, I hope they are !) and yet there is a warning message running through this book on several levels, the least of them being a warning not to take anyone too seriously. Especially leaders of countries, matrons of retirement homes, in fact, anyone in authority, whether voted in or not.
Some people won't like the way it goes from past to present, but when someone is one hundred years old, I am not sure there would be enough `present' to build the story on. And it is the past which is so interesting, from a world political point of view, to someone like me who hates anything historical and especially about war.Read more ›
So overall, not bad for long journeys, but ultimately empty and unsatisfying.
