"During the invasion of Sai-pan near the end of World War II, Marine Joe Enders is given the task of protecting Navajo radioman Ben Yahzee, called a codetalker, or killing him if he falls into enemy Japanese hands."
I love this book because this is based on real history. Windtalkers helped us win an impossible war. We owe these people our lives and gratitude. I wish everyone knew of their great story.

Bladerunner is something never mentioned in the book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? It was just a word the director liked. How do you know your real? Because of feelings, because of memories? How would you feel if you only had so much time before you expired because your programming told you to ? Would you fight for every last breath.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Here is the classic sci-fi novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? , set nearly thirty years before the events of the new Warner Bros. film Blade Runner 2049 , starring Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling, and Robin Wright.

By 2021, the World War has killed millions, driving entire species into extinction and sending mankind off-planet. Those who remain covet any living creature, and for people who can't afford one, companies build incredibly realistic simulacra: horses, birds, cats, sheep. They've even built humans. Immigrants to Mars receive androids so sophisticated they are indistinguishable from true men or women. Fearful of the havoc these artificial humans can wreak, the government bans them from Earth. Driven into hiding, unauthorized androids live among human beings, undetected. Rick Deckard, an officially sanctioned bounty hunter, is commissioned to find rogue androids and "retire" them. But when cornered, androids fight back-with lethal force.

Praise for Philip K. Dick

"[Dick] sees all the sparkling-and terrifying-possibilities . . . that other authors shy away from." - Rolling Stone

"A kind of pulp-fiction Kafka, a prophet."- The New York Times

Life's tough. No money, no prospects, migrant work when you can. George is trying to make a life and keep himself and Lennie out of trouble. Lennie just wants to play with the rabbits.
BY THE WAY: I rarely recommend a movie over a book. The books just have so much more to offer. But if you can, I would watch "Of Mice and Men" by Gary Sinese. He starred, directed, and produced this movie with his own money and you can tell how much he loved this book by the passion project of a movie he made. 5 STARS

Alex Douglas always wanted to be a hero. But nothing heroic ever happened to Alex. Nothing, that is, until his eleventh birthday. When Alex rescues a stray dog as a birthday gift to himself, he doesn't think his life can get much better. Radar, his new dog, pretty much feels the same way. But this day has bigger things in store for both of them. This is a story about bullies and heroes. About tragedy and hope. About enemies with two legs and friends with four, and pesky little sisters and cranky old men, and an unexpected lesson in kindness delivered with a slice of pizza. This is Eleven: the journey of a boy turning eleven on 9/11. A best-seller at the 9/11 Memorial Museum, a Kirkus "Best Books" selection, and winner of Writer's Digest and Moonbeam Children's Book awards.

50 years of an iconic classic! This international bestseller and inspiration for a beloved movie is a heroic story of friendship and belonging.

Cover may vary.

No one ever said life was easy. But Ponyboy is pretty sure that he's got things figured out. He knows that he can count on his brothers, Darry and Sodapop. And he knows that he can count on his friends-true friends who would do anything for him, like Johnny and Two-Bit. But not on much else besides trouble with the Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up on "greasers" like Ponyboy. At least he knows what to expect-until the night someone takes things too far.

"[A] classic coming-of-age book." -Philadelphia Daily News

Herr Mannelig

Early one morning before the sun did rise
And the birds sang their sweet song
The mountain troll proposed to the fair squire
She had a false deceitful tongue

Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig won't you marry me
For all that I'll gladly give you
You may answer only yes or no
Will you do so or no

To you I will give the twelve great steeds
That graze in a shady grove
Never has a saddle been mounted on their backs
Nor had a bit in their mouths

To you I will give the twelve fine mills
That stand between Tillo and Terno
The mill stones are made of the reddest brass
And the wheels are silver-laden

To you I will give the gilded sword
That jingles from fifteen gold rings
And strike with it in battle as you will
On the battlefield you will conquer

To you I will give a brand new shirt
The lustrous best for to wear
It is not sewn with needle or thread
But crocheted of the whitest silk

Gifts such as these I would gladly receive
If you were a Christian woman
But I know you are the worst mountain troll
From the spawn of Necken* and the devil

The mountain troll ran out the door
She wailed and she shrieked so loudly
"Had I gotten that handsome squire
From my torment I would be free now"

Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig won't you marry me
For all that I'll gladly give you
You may answer only yes or no
Will you do so or no

The Road Not Taken

Launch Audio in a New Window

BY ROBERT FROST

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
