Title Page in "The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson" by Mark Twain. Hartford: American Publishing Co., 1894. First edition by Leo Boudreau

“The Tragedy of Pudd’nhead Wilson” is one of Twain’s lesser known novels, but it may be one of his best. Set in the early years of the 19th century, this pre-Civil War satire tackles social issues still being debated today. Here is what the Goodreads website has to say about the novel (at www.goodreads.com/book/show/682793.Pudd_nhead_Wilson):

“At the beginning of Pudd'nhead Wilson a young slave woman, fearing for her infant's son's life, exchanges her light-skinned child with her master's. From this rather simple premise Mark Twain fashioned one of his most entertaining, funny, yet biting novels. On its surface, Pudd'nhead Wilson possesses all the elements of an engrossing nineteenth-century mystery: reversed identities, a horrible crime, an eccentric detective, a suspenseful courtroom drama, and a surprising, unusual solution. Yet it is not a mystery novel. Seething with the undercurrents of antebellum southern culture, the book is a savage indictment in which the real criminal is society, and racial prejudice and slavery are the crimes. Written in 1894, Pudd'nhead Wilson glistens with characteristic Twain humor, with suspense, and with pointed irony: a gem among the author's later works.”

The book contains over a thousand illustrations, which are distributed in the margins throughout the text, a technique that had never before been used for a Mark Twain text. Two artists, F. M. Senior and C. H. Warren, supplied the copious, cartoon-sized pictures required for this mode of illustration.

The first edition of the book also has a bonus story called “Those Extraordinary Twins.” "‘Those Extraordinary Twins’ was published as a short story, separate and distinct from its origins inside Twain's ‘The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson.’ As Twain explains, he extricated ‘Twins’ from ‘Pudd'nhead’ when he found, as he was writing, that he'd created a farce inside a tragedy. This is the excised farce, a story about Italian Siamese twins who completely take over a small Missouri town, splitting it down the middle with half supporting one head and the other, the other.” [From the Introduction by John Greenman for the LibriVox audio edition of the “Twins” story at librivox.org/those-extraordinary-twins-by-mark-twain/]

Two Lemon Cheesecakes. IMG_9740 by bookchen

The rectangular slice is from Susan Mendelson , the wedge is adapted from Mark Bittman .

Mendelson's cheesecake was lighter and sweeter. Bittman's was quite dense, had a more pronounced cheese flavour, and (as seen) a thicker crust. It was also more fiddly to make, developed horrifying fissures at the top, and ended up looking like the San Andreas Fault of cheesecakes. But it tasted fine, as did Mendelson's, each in its own way.

Susan Mendelson's Famous Lemon Cheesecake:

Crust:

1 1/3 cups (325 mL) Graham wafer crumbs

1/3 cup (75 mL) butter

quarter cup brown sugar

Mix the above together and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. (My square 9-inch Pyrex-type pan was fine.) Bake in the oven at 350° F (180° C) for 5 minutes.

Filling:

1 lb (500 gm) cream cheese [I used Western.]

3 medium eggs

half cup (125 mL) sour cream

2/3 cup (150 mL) sugar

2 tablesp (25 mL) lemon juice

Bake in the oven at 350° F (180° C) for 30-35 minutes

Topping:

1 cup (250 mL) sour cream

4 tablesp (50 mL) sugar

2 tablesp (25 mL) lemon juice

Mix together and spread over the cheesecake. Return to the oven for 5 minutes.

Chill thoroughly in the fridge (several hours, preferably) before serving.

-------------------

Mark Bittman's Lemon Cheesecake with Sour Cream Topping:

Graham Cracker Crust: (Double this crust recipe for the Lemon Cheesecake)

6 tablesp (3 oz) unsalted butter

6 oz graham cracker crumbs

3 tablespoons sugar

Melt the butter. Combine sugar with the graham cracker crumbs in a bowl or food processor. Slowly add the butter till well blended. Press the crumbs into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. To prebake: heat the oven to 350°F. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, until it just begins to brown. Cool on a rack before filling.

Filling:

4 eggs, separated

24 oz cream cheese [I used a mixture of ricotta, Philadelphia, and Western cream cheese ]

grated zest and juice of one lemon

1 cup sugar

1 tablesp all-purpose flour

Topping (optional):

2 cups sour cream

1 tablesp sugar

1 teasp vanilla extract

-----------------

Make a double recipe of the Graham Cracker crust, as above. Find an oven-proof pan large enough serve as a water-bath for the springform pan. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Boil water in the kettle for the water bath.

Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites till they hold soft peaks. Put them aside.

Beat the egg yolks till they're light. Add cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar. Beat till smooth. Stir in the flour. Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Pour the batter over the prepared and cooled crust.

Put the springform pan into the larger pan for the water bath, and add hot water to the water bath so that it comes to within an inch of the top of the springform pan. After I've gauged the amount of water needed, I remove the springform pan, and carefully carry both pans separately to the oven. (Safer than carrying a fuller pan with sloshing hot water.) Then I return the springform pan to its water bath, in the oven.

Bake until the cheesecake is just set, and very lightly browned, approx 1 hour.

Turn the oven up to 450° F if making the topping. [I'd try 350°F next time.] Combine the topping ingredients, and spoon the mixture over the cheesecake. Return it to the oven for 10 minutes, without the water bath.

Then turn off the oven, leaving the cheesecake in there for a further 30 minutes. [Not sure how necessary this particular step is; may shorten - or even omit? - it next time.]

Chill thoroughly in the fridge before serving.

---------------

Next time, I might try a combination of the Bittman crust (but with brown sugar), Mendelson filling with the same 3 cheeses as I used for Bittman, and Mendelson baking times/method for the filling. Not sure which topping to go with.

A photo of Frederic Brown is on the cover. The following is a brief biography of Fredric Brown (1906-1972) from the Goodreads website (at www.goodreads.com/author/show/51503.Fredric_Brown):

"Fredric Brown was an American science fiction and mystery writer. He was one of the boldest early writers in genre fiction in his use of narrative experimentation. While never in the front rank of popularity in his lifetime, Brown has developed a considerable cult following in the almost half century since he last wrote. His works have been periodically reprinted and he has a worldwide fan base, most notably in the U.S. and Europe, and especially in France, where there have been several recent movie adaptations of his work. He also remains popular in Japan.

"Never financially secure, Brown - like many other pulp writers - often wrote at a furious pace in order to pay bills. This accounts, at least in part, for the uneven quality of his work. A newspaperman by profession, Brown was only able to devote 14 years of his life as a full-time fiction writer. Brown was also a heavy drinker, and this at times doubtless affected his productivity. A cultured man and omnivorous reader whose interests ranged far beyond those of most pulp writers, Brown had a lifelong interest in the flute, chess, poker, and the works of Lewis Carroll. Brown married twice and was the father of two sons."

Marginal illustrations in "The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson" by Mark Twain. Hartford: American Publishing Co., 1894. First edition by Leo Boudreau

“The Tragedy of Pudd’nhead Wilson” is one of Twain’s lesser known novels, but it may be one of his best. Set in the early years of the 19th century, this pre-Civil War satire tackles social issues still being debated today. Here is what the Goodreads website has to say about the novel (at www.goodreads.com/book/show/682793.Pudd_nhead_Wilson):

“At the beginning of Pudd'nhead Wilson a young slave woman, fearing for her infant's son's life, exchanges her light-skinned child with her master's. From this rather simple premise Mark Twain fashioned one of his most entertaining, funny, yet biting novels. On its surface, Pudd'nhead Wilson possesses all the elements of an engrossing nineteenth-century mystery: reversed identities, a horrible crime, an eccentric detective, a suspenseful courtroom drama, and a surprising, unusual solution. Yet it is not a mystery novel. Seething with the undercurrents of antebellum southern culture, the book is a savage indictment in which the real criminal is society, and racial prejudice and slavery are the crimes. Written in 1894, Pudd'nhead Wilson glistens with characteristic Twain humor, with suspense, and with pointed irony: a gem among the author's later works.”

The book contains over a thousand illustrations, which are distributed in the margins throughout the text, a technique that had never before been used for a Mark Twain text. Two artists, F. M. Senior and C. H. Warren, supplied the copious, cartoon-sized pictures required for this mode of illustration.

The first edition of the book also has a bonus story called “Those Extraordinary Twins.” "‘Those Extraordinary Twins’ was published as a short story, separate and distinct from its origins inside Twain's ‘The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson.’ As Twain explains, he extricated ‘Twins’ from ‘Pudd'nhead’ when he found, as he was writing, that he'd created a farce inside a tragedy. This is the excised farce, a story about Italian Siamese twins who completely take over a small Missouri town, splitting it down the middle with half supporting one head and the other, the other.” [From the Introduction by John Greenman for the LibriVox audio edition of the “Twins” story at librivox.org/those-extraordinary-twins-by-mark-twain/]

Saving Cee Cee Honeycut - Beth Hoffman by Michelle

Fro Goodreads www.goodreads.com/book/show/6617928-saving-ceecee-honeycu...

Twelve-year-old CeeCee is in trouble. For years she’s been the caretaker of her psychotic mother, Camille— the crown-wearing, lipstick-smeared laughingstock of an entire town. Though it’s 1967 and they live in Ohio, Camille believes it’s 1951 and she’s just been crowned the Vidalia Onion Queen of Georgia.

The day CeeCee discovers Camille in the front yard wearing a tattered prom dress and tiara as she blows kisses to passing motorists, she knows her mother has completely flipped. When tragedy strikes, Tootie Caldwell, a previously unknown great-aunt comes to CeeCee’s rescue and whisks her away to Savannah. Within hours of her arrival, CeeCee is catapulted into a perfumed world of prosperity and Southern eccentricities—a world that appears to be run entirely by women.

While Tootie is busy saving Savannah’s endangered historic homes from the wrecking ball, CeeCee encounters a cast of unforgettable, eccentric characters. From the mysterious Thelma Rae Goodpepper, who bathes in an outdoor tub under the watchful eyes of a voyeuristic peacock, to Oletta Jones, the all-knowing household cook, to Violene Hobbs, the loud-mouthed widow who entertains a local police officer in her yellow see-through peignoir, the women of Gaston Street keep CeeCee entertained and enthralled for an entire summer.

But CeeCee’s view of the world is challenged in ways she could have never imagined: there are secrets to keep, injustices to face, and loyalties to uphold. Just as she begins to find her ballast and experiences a sense of belonging, her newfound joy collides with the long-held fear that her mother’s legacy has left her destined for destruction.

Laugh-out-loud funny, at times heartbreaking, and written in a pitch-perfect voice, Saving CeeCee Honeycutt is a spirited Southern tale that explores the intricate frailties and strengths of female relationships while illuminating the journey of a young girl who loses her mother but finds many others

Breaking Silence (Kate Burkholder #3) - Linda Castillo by Michelle

1

From Goodreads - The Slabaugh family are model Amish farmers, prosperous and hardworking, with four children and a happy extended family. When the parents and an uncle are found dead in their barn, it appears to be a gruesome accident: methane gas asphyxiation caused by a poorly ventilated cesspit. But in the course of a routine autopsy, the coroner discovers that one of the victims suffered a head wound before death—clearly, foul play was involved. But who would want to make orphans of the Slabaughs’ children? And is this murder somehow related to a recent string of shocking hate crimes against the Amish?

Having grown up Amish, Kate is determined to bring the killer to justice. Because the other series of attacks are designated hate crimes, the state sends in agent John Tomasetti, with whom Kate has a long and complex relationship. Together, they search for the link between the crimes—and uncover a dark secret at work beneath the placid surface of this idyllic Amish community.

*******************************************************************************************************

My Review -This is book 3 in the Kate Burkholder series. If you haven't read the first 2 yet I suggest you do. If you don't you won't be able to really understand the dynamics or anything else that goes on or understand why Kate and the rest of the characters do what they do. One of the first things you have to understand is that you can't lump all Amish into the same group. They have many different sects and they range from the old order to the more modern. I would even suggest you go as far as to read a little something about the religion before even commenting.

Now that my little rant is over I have to admit that book 3 is the weakest of the series and is not my favorite. It was good, but the excitement that I saw in book 1 & 2 is really not there. Either I'm getting good at guessing who did it or the author didn't really bother to make this much of a mystery. I pretty much had it figured out right in the beginning. Another thing I would suggest to the readers is that if you have a problem with taboo issues, you should on this one. The main character, Kate, seems to be falling down a black hole. Not a literal black hole, but an emotional one that she is going to have some serious issues getting out of. I would have assumed that as time goes on she would grow. That does not seem to be the case with Kate. She is letting her past rule her future. It's a slippery slope that she headed down and she doesn't seem to care. She seemed so strong in the beginning and now she just seems whiny and pathetic with no clear direction of which way she is headed

Beauty Queen by Linda Glovach - Book 9 of 2013 by Michelle

From Goodreads - I felt the prick of the needle, but only for a second, because this great rush of warmth quickly followed, encompassing my whole body from my toes right up to the top hair on my head. I couldn't move for a minute as she guided the needle in and out of my vein. When she was done, I felt like I had entered heaven. I looked in the mirror and felt beautiful and confident. I felt this great peace, at last, a warmth, and I knew that everything was going to be okay -- and really always had been. Like time had stopped and I was floating on a cloud. "Writing the book, I saw my old dope dealer and bought $1,500 worth of pure heroin -- Brown Gold -- and started shooting up 10 times a day to get the feel of the book. Well, I did, all right. I ended up in Glen Cove General, almost dead. In truth, you make a deal with the Devil. He takes away your pain, but he owns you. You live for the next fix. After a while, it's totally physical; your body has to have it. But I'm off it for good."--

My Review - The book is basically about a girl who wants to make some money so she turns to stripping to do it, but in order for her to actually strip she needs a little recreactional Pharmaceutical help. The more she strips, the more she does heroin. Then it's a downward spiral from there. This is a very hard book to rate because I am on the fence about it. I liked the story, but I absolutlet hated every single character except for the 2 cats, Dinah & Sylvester. I know that is very strange, but every character in this book pissed me off with their crap excuses. The main character was dumber than a box of rocks, her best friend was in denial, her mother was a drunk who had taken up with a perv, her boss ignored the bad stuff going on, her boyfriend was a POS, and the one person I almost liked, Angelo, did not do enough to save Sam who was the main character. Sam did nothing to help herself. I personally thought she was an over indulged spoiled brat who wanted the easy life, but didn't think she had to work hard to get it. She had the resources to make something of herself and avoid the path she went down, but her motivation to do so was not there. Ughhhh....even talking about it makes me mad.

I won't give anything else away, but expect to either be quite angry or quite sad. The story is told in diary format like the book, Go Ask Alice. It's easy to read and with only 168 pages long you can probably breeze right on through it in a day. (less)

Chalking Our Pride & Sorrow & Strength & Love (Orlando): "Knowledge was more powerful than fear." by rosefirerising

So proud of whoever at UM came up with the idea for this, and then did it. This quote is an excerpt:

“Knowledge was more powerful than fear. Love was stronger than hate.” Lauren Myracle, SHINE. www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/13804537-shine

"The universe has no fixed agenda..." (365/99 Apr. 09, 2014) by Irmeli Hasanen

1

“If you obsess over whether you are making the right decision, you are basically assuming that the universe will reward you for one thing and punish you for another.

The universe has no fixed agenda. Once you make any decision, it works around that decision. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each thought, feeling, and action that you experience.

If this sounds too mystical, refer again to the body. Every significant vital sign- body temperature, heart rate, oxygen consumption, hormone level, brain activity, and so on- alters the moment you decide to do anything… decisions are signals telling your body, mind, and environment to move in a certain direction.”

- Deepak Chopra, The Book of Secrets: Unlocking the Hidden Dimensions of Your Life -

Book description

Secrets. Their weight can be crushing, but their release can change everythingвЂ”and not necessarily for the better. Ian is no stranger to secrets. Being a gay teen in a backwater southern town, Ian must keep his orientation under wraps, especially since he spends a lot of time with his hands all over members of the same sex, pinning their sweaty, hard bodies to the wrestling mat. When heвЂ™s trying not to stare at teammates in the locker room, heвЂ™s busy hiding another secretвЂ”that he starves himself so he doesnвЂ™t get bumped to the next weight class. Enter Julian Yang, an Adonis with mesmerizing looks and punk rocker style. Befriending the flirtatious artist not only raises suspicion among his classmates, but leaves Ian terrified heвЂ™ll give in to the desires heвЂ™s fought to ignore. As secrets come to light, IanвЂ™s world crumbles. Disowned, de-friended, and deserted by nearly everyone, IanвЂ™s one-way ticket out of town is revoked, leaving him trapped in a world he hatesвЂ”and one that hates him back.
