In "Laddie," Gene Stratton-Porter crafts a poignant coming-of-age story infused with themes of nature, familial bonds, and the trials of youth. Set against the backdrop of rural Indiana, the narrative follows the adventures of a spirited young girl and her beloved brother, Laddie. Stratton-Porter's vivid descriptions and lyrical prose immerse the reader in the natural world, reflecting her deep appreciation for the flora and fauna that surround the characters. The book's literary style harmonizes personal experience with a broader commentary on the passage of time and the innocence of childhood, revealing the interconnectedness of human lives and the environment. Gene Stratton-Porter, an avid naturalist and a prominent figure in early 20th-century American literature, drew upon her own idyllic childhood experiences in creating "Laddie." Her passion for nature and wildlife, coupled with her dedication to storytelling, profoundly influenced her writing. Stratton-Porter was also a pioneering woman in the literary field, advocating for conservation and women's rights, themes that resonate through her extensive body of work, including this celebrated novel. "Laddie" is a masterful exploration of the joys and challenges of growing up, and is highly recommended for readers seeking a nostalgic yet insightful glimpse into a simpler time.

    Infiltration by Algis Budrys - If werewolves exist, they don't necessarily conform to all the superstitions people have. They may even know fear.... 
    Sunset. They're coming for me, tonight, he knew as he woke. 
    Sunset. Not really—if he were to get dressed now, and go out on the street, the red globe would still be hanging over the cliffs of New Jersey. But the shadow of the building next door had fallen over his apartment windows, and he sleepily pushed a cigarette between his numb lips and swung his feet over the side of the bed, fumbling with a match as he walked over to the small radio on the windowsill and turned it on. There was a double-header between the Giants and Cincinnati—the first game was probably in its last inning. 
    Sunset—odd, how the conditioning worked. Was it conditioning? Or were the old wives' tales not so absurd, after all? But he could go out in the sunlight—had done it many times. His tan proved it. He touched silver and cold iron countless times each day, crossed running water—and he'd gone to church every Sunday, until he was twelve. No, there was a core of truth under the fantastically complex shell of nonsense, but the old limitations were not part of it. He shrugged. Neither were most of the powers. 
    Still, he liked to sleep in the daytime. His schedule seemed to gain an hour at night, lose one in the morning, until, almost unnoticeably, it had slipped around the clock. 
    He went into the bathroom while the worn tubes in the radio warmed up slowly, and washed his face, brushed his teeth, shaved. He combed his hair, then paused thoughtfully. Wouldn't do any harm. No full moon in here, either, he thought, looking up at the circular fluorescent tube in the ceiling, but he noticed no impediment as he coalesced, dropped to all fours, and ran his pelt against the curry-combs he had screwed to the bathroom door.

    “Extraordinary . . . [Bolaño’s] greatest work.” —James Wood, The New York Times The book that catapulted Roberto Bolaño into international literary stardom, By Night in Chile is the final testimony of Sebastián Urrutia Lacroix—Chilean priest and member of Opus Dei, eminent literary critic and failed poet—as he is haunted by a shadowy figure from his past. In Urrutia’s feverish last hours, a deluge of memories pours from him: of hobnobbing with Santiago’s most unctuous literati; of undertaking a mission to save Europe’s decaying cathedrals from existential threat by pigeon excrement; of retreating into Greco-Roman poetry during the darkest chapter of modern Chilean history; of tutoring Augusto Pinochet in Marxist theory, so that the General may better understand his enemies. Throughout he insists, with fracturing conviction, that he was always on the right side of history. A novel about high art and fascism, silence and complicity, and, ultimately, the weight of damnation, Roberto Bolaño’s By Night in Chile is a deep-cutting satire and a work of devastating moral insight.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux

    Robert thought he understood love. When he and Yuika first met, their relationship felt effortless—shared experiences, an adventurous spirit, and an unbreakable connection. But after moving to Japan, things began to change. What once felt natural now feels uncertain, as cultural differences, language barriers, and unspoken expectations create distance between them. 
    Hoping to reconnect, Robert embarks on a road trip with Yuika through the vast landscapes of Hokkaido. From quiet rural towns to breathtaking coastal roads, their journey is filled with both beauty and tension. As they navigate the unfamiliar terrain, they also confront the growing emotional distance between them. Can they rediscover what brought them together in the first place, or have they already begun drifting apart? 
    Set against the stunning backdrop of Japan’s northernmost island, Hokkaido Girl is a reflective and deeply personal story about love, identity, and the quiet moments that define our relationships. It’s a journey not just through Hokkaido, but through the complexities of human connection, where every turn in the road brings both new discoveries and difficult questions.
