The book begins by discussing Seabiscuit's owner, Charles Howard, a self-made multimillionaire who came to California in 1903 with a dream and a pocketful of change. In an age when horses were becoming obsolete for travel and farming due to the popularity of automobiles, Seabiscuit and other equine athletes helped ensure that horse racing remained relevant as a sport. A classic underdog, the little horse with a big heart came back from what could have been a career ending injury to win the Santa Anita Handicap race in 1940. ![]() ![]() Seabiscuit captured the nation's imagination at the height of the Great Depression. The book tells the story of Seabiscuit, possibly the most famous American racehorse of all time, with special emphasis on the human beings who discovered him, trained him, and risked both their lives and their money on him.

Ryan Murphy & Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments The pale horse marple![]() ![]() ![]() Jonathan Cake, whom you’ll recognize as Chuck Vance from Desperate Housewives if you watch it (I don’t), looks in his element here.Īnd the costume Holly Willoughby wears in her brief appearance as Goody Carne makes me think that her casting is something of an in-joke. Pauline Collins as Thryza Grey, the “proprietrix” of The Pale Horse inn looked like she could barely contain her glee each time she invaded Miss Marple’s personal space. Although I was fond of Geraldine McEwan’s portrayal, Julia McKenzie as Miss Marple is growing on me. Jonathan CakeMaybe it was my own relaxed state of mind when I was watching the show, but I had the sense that the cast were enjoying themselves on this one. Miss Marple is fun, and this mystery-even with its added characters and plot changes-is a goody. But in the case of “The Pale Horse,” I was willing to go along for the ride and I suggest you do, too. Normally, I’m a stickler for accuracy and I don’t approve of screenwriters taking too many liberties with the original text, especially if they’re messing with a master like Dame Agatha. For, if you’ve read the book, you know that Miss Marple isn’t in it. But you probably already guessed that when you saw that “The Pale Horse” was a Miss Marple episode.

If it rained at all, it was a delicate sprinkle that lasted ten or fifteen minutes and ended with a rainbow. She wasn’t used to driving in the rain-neither of them was. “I don’t want to go any farther until this lets up a little.” They’d made it to Maine about thirty minutes ago but the rain had driven them off the highway and into this town with the strange name-Kennebunkport-and Ruth had pulled over and idled on the side of the road until Jane searched bookstore on her phone and found this one. Outside, the rain pelted down angrily, it sounded like muffled gunshots on the roof of the bookstore, but inside, inside, surrounded by books, surrounded by the smell of them, she felt calm and tranquil, momentarily at ease, like the past five weeks had never happened. Had the smell of books calmed her down then, as it did now? She must have been a baby, a toddler, ripping pages out of a picture book about a talking stuffed animal. What it had tasted like, how it had felt-the scratch of it as it slid down her throat. ![]() She couldn’t remember the first book she had eaten. ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments The dying earth by jack vance![]() ![]() Personal benefit includes, but is not limited to: financial gain from sales or referral links, traffic to your own website/blog/channel, karma farming, critiques or feedback of your work from the community, etc. Interactions should not primarily be for personal benefit.
