Book Hard
Which Book of John Knowles is Your Favorite?
You don’t have to spend a lot on books to find books you will enjoy reading. In fact, one way to save money on books is to purchase soft cover editions rather than hard cover. This can save approximately 50 percent on your book budget while still enabling you to purchase new releases.
Reading frequently is the single best way to sharpen and improve your reading skills. Some people-including children and teenagers-say they don’t enjoy reading, but the fact is, they simply haven’t found the kinds of books they enjoy reading. They may also be having some difficulty with reading and, therefore, find it challenging or frustrating.
The thing is, there are books available today about every topic under the sun! And everyone is interested in something, so the first step to improving your reading skills is to find books about topics that interest you. This could be gardening, woodworking, hunting, fishing, paranormal events, relationships, self-improvement, history, sports, entertainment, movie stars, or any of a million other subjects. You might also enjoy reading fiction or made up stories rather than non-fiction books. The important thing is to browse through lots of different books, flip through them, read the back or inside cover flaps, and select books on topics that interest you.
It’s also important to select books that are written at your reading level. You can get books on most subjects written in simple, easy-to-read language. Likewise, you can probably find a book written in technical jargon or high-level language that makes it difficult to understand. Don’t be afraid to select books that are written in the simpler language and make them easier for you to understand, particularly if you are reading about a topic you are not very familiar with yet. Reading is about understanding and comprehending, not showing off or pretending to be more sophisticated by selecting books that you think will impress someone.
With that being said, one critical way to sharpen your reading skills is to keep a dictionary handy when you are reading. Before you actually look up a word that you do not understand or recognize, first read the rest of the sentence, skipping the word you do not know. In fact, go ahead and read the rest of the paragraph. Often the rest of the sentence or paragraph will give you clues about what the word means and you may be able to figure out the meaning on your own. After you think you know what the word means-or if you can’t figure it out from the context of the other text-look up the word in the dictionary.
Ask yourself if the word meant what you thought it meant. If not, reread the sentence and the paragraph again now that you understand what it means. This will ensure you comprehend what you are reading.
You don’t want to read too far along in the text if you do not understand a word. This can cause you to get confused about what you are reading or to lose interest in what you are reading. Reading should be enjoyable. The more you read, the better you will develop your reading skills, and the more you will read. It’s a win-win situation!

‘ENGLISH IS MUST TO US’ $105.23 This book explores the interaction between context and attitude in the language-in-education experiences of multilingual children in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Northern Kenya, East Africa. The aim was to discover how they respond to the policy and practice in language-in-education and the macro- societal influences that affect their attitudes. We discuss the realities the refugee learners face as a corollary of language use in their education and the responses towards these realities. We used the Critical Ethnography methodology to collect and analyse the data. Findings indicate that the refugees follow the Kenyan language-in-education policy, a relic of colonialism, whereby English is the medium of instruction from Class Four onwards. Many refugees have a love-hate relationship with English. They find it hard to master, yet like it as a passport to resettlement overseas. Language ideologies and macro-societal issues are explored in depth as these influence refugees’ attitudes and choices. |

It was the last draught of the cup of woe. Man could not understand it. ” He calleth for Elias,” they said; and when the poor parched body, “dried up like a potsherd,” uttered the cry, “I thirst,” they hasted to add their mite to His sufferings, fulfilling the words of Scripture, “They gave me gall for my meat, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.” But now the ordeal is over, all things are accomplished, the ” one sacrifice for sins for ever ” has been made, and nothing now remains but to release the poor broken body, and lay it aside to rest; so with a loud voice He proclaims to the universe of God, ” It is Finished ! ” and committing His spirit into the hands of His loving Father, He bows His head, and yields up the ghost. ” It is Finished ! ” The spoiler was spoiled, theprince of this world was cast out, the work of the devil was destroyed, the gates of brass were burst asunder, and liberty was proclaimed to the captives.

‘Neath Verdun: The Experiences of a French Soldier During the Early Months of the First World War $15.99 The war of the French volunteers This book does not concern the Battle of Verdun in 1916–widely considered to be the largest battle in world history, rather it positions the action geographically for the reader. Written during wartime this account concerns the personal experiences of a young officer of the French infantry from the earliest days of the Great War through a period of comparative fluidity of movement before the stalemate of trench warfare. The fighting concerns the actions about the Meuse and the Marne in the first year of the war from a French perspective and concludes as the ”armies go to earth” in the early part of 1915. Genevoix takes the reader into the heart of his enthusiastic young group of comrades and soldiers on campaign to provide valuable insights into the opening phases of the great conflict the French infantry knew. Available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket. |

‘Neath Verdun: The Experiences of a French Soldier During the Early Months of the First World War $26.99 The war of the French volunteers This book does not concern the Battle of Verdun in 1916–widely considered to be the largest battle in world history, rather it positions the action geographically for the reader. Written during wartime this account concerns the personal experiences of a young officer of the French infantry from the earliest days of the Great War through a period of comparative fluidity of movement before the stalemate of trench warfare. The fighting concerns the actions about the Meuse and the Marne in the first year of the war from a French perspective and concludes as the ”armies go to earth” in the early part of 1915. Genevoix takes the reader into the heart of his enthusiastic young group of comrades and soldiers on campaign to provide valuable insights into the opening phases of the great conflict the French infantry knew. Available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket. |

No breath of pity for a moment stirred her breast to gentler emotion. Pity she had none, save for herself; the very helplessness of Nelly Dare’s condition only made her anger burn more fiercely. How dare she come thus suddenly upon her and presume tothrow herself and her child upon her hard-earned and carefully saved resources, utter strangers as they were too ? The thought of it was simply intolerable. But no, she would not bear it; they should not stop under her roof another day; they should go whore they could to-morrow and get on as best they might. Toil and toil as she would, save, save, and scrape, scrape, from morning till night, it seemed that there was always some one who would come and take from her if they could. Her eyes filled and overflowed with bitter and passionate tears. And only to think what the Dares had been, and what they once had ! Yes, it was true, the Dares had once been great and grand enough, with their houses and lands and servants and carriages; her dull childhood had often been enlivened with the stories of the glory of riches and past greatness.
