![]() The studio pulled a whack of the budget during filming and the movie was hamstrung by that fact. Vampire$ got enough steam that John Carpenter turned it into a movie with James Woods (who looked nothing like Jack Crow, but handled the part well enough). ![]() Turns out, John Steakley ever only wrote Armor and Vampire$, and neither caught the attention of the world like they should have. He wrote some books that were enormously fun to read and after I went through the first two I eagerly awaited the next one. A buddy loaned me Armor when I was in college and another buddy introduced me to Vampire$ when I got my first real job after college. I was introduced to Steakley by two friends over the space of many years. The cover art for Vampire$ dropped the dollar sign, but trust me, it was part of the original title. Both of them are easy to find on Amazon and I regularly see them in used book stores, as well. The reference itself is actually Steakley’s internal reference to his other book, Armor. If you didn’t get it, it’s a reference to one of my favorite books, Vampire$, by John Steakley. Coupon redeemable anywhere Internets are sold ![]()

What it is like to live inside this fractured “time confetti” is captured on Schulte’s opening page: “It is just after 10 a.m. ![]() ![]() It is the factor that turns our lives – and, disproportionately, working women’s lives – into what Schulte calls “crappy bits of time confetti”. It is the way that we feel the need to answer work emails while supervising our children, and then end up spending time at work making calls for their appointments at the dentist and paediatrician. ‘The overwhelm’ is what Schulte calls the endless, crushing sensation that we will never be able to fulfil all our obligations at work and at home satisfactorily. Schulte’s work confirmed for me that it is just such ‘clearings’ in our daily round that is one of the keys to tackling what she calls ‘the overwhelm.’ Reading in the hour before bed is my daily, sanity-saving luxury. Something stuck, though, from that little mention I downloaded the book to my Kindle that night. I did not take a moment to note it, save it, even clip it, but went right on to the next thing. I wish I knew what that article was now, but of course, at the time, I was merely skimming it, while fielding incoming emails, and chomping down on instant couscous and tuna in the little window of ten minutes’ quiet I allowed myself before flinging myself at the next task on the enormous and endless pile. I saw mention of Shulte’s new book in an article about the plague of over-busyness that has taken over our lives. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Bloomsbury Childrens,2012.First UK edition-first printing of this boxed edition (1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2).Boxed set including: Quidditch Through the Ages, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard.

Kristin writes beautifully and very accessibly…She has done fabulous research.” On the other hand, it’s not surprising that Jesus and John Wayne should turn out to be one of the few history books that attains this level of popularity. “Typically the writers who make the nonfiction bestseller list are celebrities or journalists, not academic authors.
