This is not callow, veneered, cinema-informed CIA, or any of the "tell-all" non-fiction embellishments of CIA activity. This is a psychological study of the necessary duality of agents, teased from the central soul of the duality of humankind. Mailer has a comprehensive insider's knowledge of the structure and ...             A Harlot High and Low (Penguin Classics)9 reviews Honoré de Balzac Penguin Classics, 1970 The Sequelitus-Sore Itches and Burns [ - ] Balzac Prevails Like many other reviewers here at Amazon, I have a weakness for `Sequelitus.' What is this dreadful affliction, you might ask? Well, it is the compulsion to pursue a good story to its very end - enjoying the source media so much that it is paramount to ones mental comfort to locate and devour all related material. This can often lead to tragic result, for sequels tend, as a rule rather than as ...             Knitting Rules!: The Yarn Harlot's Bag of Knitting Tricks82 reviews Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Storey Publishing, LLC, 2006 I LOVE this book! The Yarn Harlot, as the author is commonly known, not only has incredible amounts of knitting knowledge but a great sense of humor as well! I laughed out loud more times than I can count while reading this book. She is very straight forward about herself and her knitting habits, knitting mistakes, family life, etc. She's self-deprecating and freely admits she doesn't know everything (of which I ...             Yarn Harlot: The Secret Life of a Knitter48 reviews Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2005 Clever, witty, and none too serious If you are a Knitter who takes their Knitting very seriously, you may not get a kick out of this book. The rest of us enjoy the fact that someone out there is telling it like it is... yes, knitters make mistakes, yes, we sometimes get obsessive, but we're all just trying to get along in a world that looks at people who play with yarn for fun like they're a few skeins short of a sweater. Thanks ...             Free-Range Knitter: The Yarn Harlot Writes Again7 reviews Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2008 Free Range Knitter I am at the half way mark and I can say this is a very entertaining book. For a knitter, all of these situations, anecdotes are totally relatable to. Most of this has happened to a Knitter at some time ! For those who loved the previous books by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, you will not regret your purchase. For those who love this one, you will probably end up buying the previous ones. I'm a fan ...             Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Casts Off: The Yarn Harlot's Guide to the Land of Knitting24 reviews Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Storey Publishing, LLC, 2007 Can knit ... and be funny.

After three days of other duties keeping me away from finishing this book, I chose to stay up to read it and ended up staying up until after midnight. I'm glad I did. Patricia's tells the story of the impetuous choices and clouded thinking of youth through the eyes of a woman who has grown far beyond her old self. It is full of sensitivity and love not just for the younger "Trish" but for ...             Havana Harlot1 review Pierre Motteux Erotic Print Society, 2008 Going down...to Havana. This isn't a bad book overall in the Past Venus Series. I liked it slightly less than the other books in the series just because the sex is written in a less exciting manner than I've come to expect. There's plenty of forced sex, incest, a bit of torture--so if that's your thing, enjoy. There's also an incident of forced male on male sex depicted as well, which didn't really appeal to me and may ...             The Bitch, the Crone, and the Harlot: Reclaiming the Magical Feminine in Midlife1 review Susan Schachterle Elite Books, 2007 A must read for middle aged women! During middle age women often struggle with redefining themselves. This book is a wonderful tool of empowerment for anyone with at least a few gray streaks in her hair. While other authors have embraced the [...] and even some the Crone, Schacherterie really breaks ground in her chapters on the Harlot, the sensuous woman of middle age - that gracious and nervy being that exudes beauty and joy ...             Royal Harlot: A Novel of the Countess Castlemaine and King Charles II14 reviews Susan Holloway Scott NAL Trade, 2007 A Survivor! Europe's treatment of a King's mistress was pretty brutal and very scary most of the time. Throughout her life Barbara Castlemaine survived because of her intelligence, her understanding of the position she held, how best to use it and, more importantly, she understood what Charles II needed and wanted and used that sense and sensibility to survive. She was surrounded by foes, naysayers, some ...             A Harlot's Progress David Dabydeen Vintage Books, 2000 A Harlot?s Progress reinvents William Hogarth?s famous print of 1732, which tells the story of a prostitute, a Jewish merchant, a magistrate, and a quack doctor bound together by sexual and financial greed.

Wow--what a good book! Based on factual events during the reign of Richard II, this novel held me spellbound not only because of the smouldering relationship between the hero (the "law") and the heroine (the "harlot's daughter") but because of the developing background struggle between England's monarch and parliament. I liked that this conflict was echoed by the hero-heroine struggle for ...             Harlot Queen1 review Hilda Lewis Tempus, 2007 The story of the She-Wolf of France This is the story of Isabella of France, Queen of King Edward II of England.
