On Being Born and Other Difficulties
F. Gonzalez-Crussi

Gonzalez-Crussi, author of The Five Senses, reflects on the largest of topics, those in which science, religion, and philosophy brush most closely together, such as the origin of life in the universe, the complex evolution of human ...

The Trouble With Being Born

8 reviews
E M Cioran

Arcade Publishing, 1998

The greatest writer of all time
His name is pronounced cho-ran. With an accent on the last syllable. He happens to be my spiritual doppelganger. And he might be yours as well. What's especially endearing about Cioran is the fact that he hates God as much as he hates everybody else. He's a gnostic. He's convinced that the universe was created by an evil lifeforce. And he's right. Everything makes perfect sense as soon as you ...

1916. In this work, it is intended to examine the natural endowment of the child. Since full comprehension of it requires some understanding of the nature of the physical mechanism by which hereditary traits are handed on from generation to generation, a small amount of space is given to this phase. Then, that the reader may appreciate to their fullest extent the facts gathered concerning man, a review of the more significant principles of ...

Letters to a Child Being Born: A Pregnancy Journal With Quotes, Sentiments, and Space for Writing

1 review
Karen Scott Boates

Running Press Book Publishers, 1991

Lovely, graceful, and warm
I love this journal. It is a shame that it is out of print. Each week has a few pages to write with a few quotes about a topic. But you are not directed, you don't answer questions, and you don't fill in blanks. What is so lovely is that the book moves you to write. It helps you find the comfort to be bold and write your thoughts. Lovely book - I'd buy it used and enjoy it if you love to ...

365 Ways To Become A Millionaire (Without Being Born One)
CHEAP! CHEAP! CHEAP! The price of the book that is. The information is PriceLess. Yes, the title will catch your attention, but the content will keep you turning the pages over and over on a daily basis. It is a good thing, I did not do my normal - pick up a highlighter. With the exception of 224 and 225, the entire book would be HOT PINK. This is a book on how to be a better you. ...

Boys Keep Being Born: Stories

6 reviews
Joan Frank

University of Missouri Press, 2001

on the contrary
I like boys as much as the next woman, and I found nothing bilious or bitter about this story collection. In fact, I was impressed by the author's ability to write wittily without veering into meanness. Although Ms. Frank writes coolly about her characters' predicaments, she clearly feels rueful affection for them. This is a good book.
