The 100 Complete Boxed Set: The 100 / Day 21 / Homecoming / Rebellion

Product Information

Approximately 50 years before the series, Earthborns discovered the ground was survivable and moved out of Mount Weather. Pratchett’s mighty Discworld series is a high point in modern fiction: a parody of fantasy literature that deepened and darkened over the decades to create incisive satires of our own world. The 29th book, focusing on unlikely heroes, displays all his fierce intelligence, anger and wild humour, in a story that’s moral, humane – and hilarious. The beautifully written product of 15 years of research, Capital made its author an intellectual star – the modern Marx – and opened readers’ eyes to how neoliberalism produces vastly increased inequalities. Full of data, theories and historical analysis, its message is clear, and prophetic: unless governments increase tax, the new and grotesque wealth levels of the rich will encourage political instability.

Inspired by both Proust and The Sopranos, Egan’s Pulitzer-winning comedy follows several characters in and around the US music industry, but is really a book about memory and kinship, time and narrative, continuity and disconnection. This past weekend, I watched The Equalizer. If you haven’t seen it, Denzel Washington plays a former CIA killing machine, who is now living a quiet life working at a big Home Depot style superstore. He’s kind of a … how do I word this… “one-to-one coach, defender, savior” to some folks in trouble.Clarke Griffin, Wells Jaha, Bellamy Blake, Octavia Blake, and their parents are the only characters to appear in both series. A thrilling, genre-bending tale of escape from slavery in the American deep south, this Pulitzer prize-winner combines extraordinary prose and uncomfortable truths. Two slaves flee their masters using the underground railroad, the network of abolitionists who helped slaves out of the south, wonderfully reimagined by Whitehead as a steampunk vision of a literal train.

Confession time: I read “for a living.” I now read nearly all of the books I read on my Kindle App on my iPad. It is… work. Oh, I enjoy it. I love reading. But, reading books on my iPad is something I do to work/for work. Glass, Wells' best friend, is arrested for getting pregnant. She was supposed to go to Earth with the 100, but escaped from the dropship before launch. Atkinson examines family, history and the power of fiction as she tells the story of a woman born in 1910 – and then tells it again, and again, and again. Ursula Todd’s multiple lives see her strangled at birth, drowned on a Cornish beach, trapped in an awful marriage and visiting Adolf Hitler at Berchtesgaden. But this dizzying fictional construction is grounded by such emotional intelligence that her heroine’s struggles always feel painfully, joyously real. Crace is fascinated by the moment when one era gives way to another. Here, it is the enclosure of the commons, a fulcrum of English history, that drives his story of dispossession and displacement. Set in a village without a name, the narrative dramatises what it’s like to see the world you know come to an end, in a severance of the connection between people and land that has deep relevance for our time of climate crisis and forced migration. Approximately 56 years before the series, Mountain Men discovered Grounders living on the ground. They opened Mount Weather's doors, but had to close them due to the radiation being fatal to them.
