And now a change of pace from so many "classic" novels, as we branch into more genres and tastes...a personal favorite of mine is welcomed to the Homelandz Public Library...American Psycho, by Bret Easton Ellis!

American Psycho is a black comedy horror novel by American writer Bret Easton Ellis, published in 1991. The story is told in the first-person by Patrick Bateman, a wealthy, narcissistic, and vain Manhattan investment banker who lives a double life as a serial killer. Alison Kelly of The Observer notes that while "some countries [deem it] so potentially disturbing that it can only be sold shrink-wrapped", "critics rave about it" and "academics revel in its transgressive and postmodern qualities".

A film adaptation starring Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman was released in 2000 to generally favorable reviews. Producers David Johnson and Jesse Singer developed a musical adaptation for Broadway. The musical premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London in December 2013.

The book has garnered notoriety for its graphic violence and has led to it being censored in multiple countries.

Our next release to the Homelandz Public Library is a classic rather short novel that is a gripping and touching tale of 2 unlikely traveling companions, looking for work, and a piece of the American Dream. I highly recommend the modern movie remake of the black and white classic as well. The newer one features Gary Sinise as George, and John Malkovich as Lenny.

"George...tell me about da rabbits?"

Of Mice and Men is a 1937 novella written by American author John Steinbeck. It describes the experiences of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers, as they move from place to place in California, searching for jobs during the Great Depression.

Steinbeck based the novella on his own experiences as a teenager working alongside migrant farm workers in the 1910s, before the arrival of the Okies whom he would describe in his novel The Grapes of Wrath. The title is taken from Robert Burns' poem "To a Mouse": "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft agley" ("The best-laid plans of mice and men / Often go awry").

Although the book is taught in many schools, Of Mice and Men has been a frequent target of censorship and book bans for vulgarity and for what some consider offensive and racist language. Consequently, it appears on the American Library Association's list of the Most Challenged Books of the 21st Century.

Now that i am back from my vacation and recovering from getting sick, I am working on a new project. When I was on the Cruise ship, I loved the spa so much I wanted to incorporate it into vb. The spa will be at Meditation Gardens. It will have some Saunas, therapy pools, ice room as well as massage rooms and the wellness pods will be moved into the spa as well.

I had this ad up sometime back, and I thought I'd run it again. This is Lavine Mansion which I was encouraged to make after I accidentally got a copybotted version of a friends creation. I wanted a mansion very much and one that was beautiful and had a Victorian flare to it, so I built one and there is nothing more gratifying that building your own. This mansion has a huge living room, dining room, kitchen, great hall, sun porch and patio as well as a total of 10 rooms and a full attic which could be modified to add more rooms. It also has a cute little balcony on the front and is encased in red brick with concrete fancy molding and a cinder block foundation as well as black cast railing and large concrete pillars. You truly have to see it and tour it to appreciate it. Stop by and select the Lavine Mansion on the Teleporter. It is free, fully linked, copyable, modifiable and transferrable. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Die Legende von Queens of the Stone Age: Eine Biografie

Stell dir vor, die erbarmungslose Hitze der kalifornischen Wüste brennt dir auf die Haut, während der Sand unter deinen Stiefeln knirscht. Aus dieser unwirtlichen Landschaft, geformt von glühendem Fels und der unendlichen Weite des Himmels, erhob sich Ende der 90er-Jahre eine musikalische Urgewalt, die das Rock-Genre für immer prägen sollte: Queens of the Stone Age. Eine Band, die nicht nur Töne formte, sondern die Seele des Desert Rock destillierte und sie in eine neue, düstere und doch unwiderstehlich groovende Form goss. Angeführt von dem charismatischen und oft undurchsichtigen Josh Homme, begannen sie einen Kreuzzug gegen musikalische Konventionen, zogen eine Schneise der Verwüstung durch die Hörgewohnheiten und hinterließen ein Erbe, das so monolithisch ist wie die Felsen, aus denen sie einst krochen. Ihre Musik ist ein Cocktail aus treibenden Riffs, hypnotischen Rhythmen und Hommes unverwechselbarem Gesang – eine Mischung, die gleichermaßen betäubt und elektrisiert, wie ein Kaktusstachel, der tief ins Fleisch dringt, nur um ein Feuer in deinen Venen zu entzünden. Dies ist die Geschichte einer Band, die sich weigerte, sich den Erwartungen zu beugen, und stattdessen ihre eigene, raue und unvergessliche Legende schmiedete.
