My battery's about to run out maxalt online The hurrier I go, the behinder I get. I've only just finished reading some of the great books of 2010. But of the books from 2013 that I managed to read, I'd single out Lawrence Wright's illuminating Going Clear, about the origins of Scientology, with its roots in the dislocations of the nuclear age and its flowering in the hothouse of Hollywood. A courageous book, Going Clear is so-called long-form journalism at its clear-eyed and well-researched best. Though completely different in tone and aim, Hilton Als's singular White Girls is also about, among other things, the need for fame and the equivocal wages of celebrity. With a series of interrelated essays (meditations, really) on such figures as Malcolm X, Flannery O'Connor, Eminem and Richard Pryor, Mr. Als combines memoir, portraiture and fiction in a dazzling tour de force of cultural criticism. Then Kate Atkinson's novel Life After Life surprised me with its delicacy and narrative grace, and I enjoyed David Gilbert's witty, regretful and ambitious novel & Sons. And recently I happily received The Gorgeous Nothings, a beautiful gift book that reproduces in color the poems that Emily Dickinson scribbled on envelope scraps, providing a glimpse into her very odd poetic workshop.
