![]() ![]() I found it to be a great tribute to her as she mentioned how she would someday like to be an actor or an author. Yet obviously there were people that cared about her enough to go get this published. Throughout most of the book Mary Rose is starting her diary entries with "Dear Nobody", clearly thinking that she didn't have anyone who would ever care to read it. ![]() This story made me cry, not during the book, but after I was done reading and was thinking about it. ![]() None of that prevented me from getting wrapped up in Mary Rose's life though. There wasn't much of an introduction to every new person, and at times I felt as if I didn't know who Mary Rose was talking about. My only issue with it is that it is a diary and not a novel, so it jumped around a bit. I found this book to be absolutely heartbreaking, as no one should have to go through what Mary Rose did. Having read Go Ask Alice I expected something like that, but this book is in a whole different league. Mary Rose was handed a shitty hand of cards and tried to play them the only way she knew how. It is a very raw story of a very real girl who suffered through some traumatic issues and tried to find an escape through drugs. Dear Nobody: The True Diary of Mary Rose is a story of a girl struggling to escape her demons. ![]() ![]() ![]() The way Dinah washed her children’s faces was this: first she held the poor thing down by its ear with one paw, and then with the other paw she rubbed its face all over, the wrong way, beginning at the nose: and just now, as I said, she was hard at work on the white kitten, which was lying quite still and trying to purr-no doubt feeling that it was all meant for its good.īut the black kitten had been finished with earlier in the afternoon, and so, while Alice was sitting curled up in a corner of the great arm-chair, half talking to herself and half asleep, the kitten had been having a grand game of romps with the ball of worsted Alice had been trying to wind up, and had been rolling it up and down till it had all come undone again and there it was, spread over the hearth-rug, all knots and tangles, with the kitten running after its own tail in the middle. ![]() ![]() For the white kitten had been having its face washed by the old cat for the last quarter of an hour (and bearing it pretty well, considering) so you see that it couldn’t have had any hand in the mischief. ![]() One thing was certain, that the white kitten had had nothing to do with it:-it was the black kitten’s fault entirely. ![]() ![]() ![]() It reads like a 19th century ancestor of the movie Office Space, with the title character's battle cry of "I would prefer not to" encapsulating the oppressed office drone's secret wish of being able to assert at least some volition in a world of meaningless drudgery. ![]() This is possibly the greatest story ever written about the importance of an HR department, as well as a good look at how people cope with the inexplicable in their daily lives. "Bartleby, the Scrivener", "The Encantadas", and "Benito Cereno" are excellent, with other stories like "Billy Budd, Sailor" still being highly enjoyable. Melville's short stories don't have the iconic status that Moby Dick does, but no one capable of turning out that masterpiece could fail to show some signs of that talent for exploring human nature in his lesser works, and there's plenty for anyone who likes his distinctively discursive but acute style to enjoy here. ![]() I'm glad that Moby Dick isn't the only good thing Melville ever wrote - after having finally actually read it, it was great to be reminded how satisfying it is when something that's been endlessly lauded manages to live up to that reputation. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rainsberger responded with specific advice: Set precise goals throughout a lap.

She was a prodigy in every sense: Before she ever even arrived at Ventura, her dad Max remembered, she broke down in tears after snapping Mary Decker’s national record for the mile as a 14-year-old.
