Question by MegaMe: What is the big deal with classic novels/classics?
I just don't understand why they are so great, all the classics I have read (which surprisingly is quite a few) are dull and downright awful. Thanks so much in advance.

The Soviet-Polish Peace of 1921 and the Creation of Interwar Europe
The Soviet-Polish peace treaty of 1921, also known as the "Riga peace," ended the war of 1919â€"1920 and may be considered the most important Eastern European treaty of the interwar period. This deeply researched book offers the first post-Soviet account of how Bolshevik Russia and Poland came to sign the treatyâ€"a pact that established the central part of the Soviet western border and provided Eastern Europe with a measure of stability that lasted until 1939.
Â
Jerzy Borzecki draws on a wealth of untapped materials in Russian and Polish archives to recreate the negotiations and behind-the-scenes maneuvers leading to and surrounding the treaty. He examines the significance of the agreement not only to its signatories but also to Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, and Latvia. The Riga peace represented an authentic compromise between Poland and Bolshevik Russia, Borzecki shows, and he offers new interpretations of other crucial aspects of the negotiations as well.

So you may not know this about me but I like to read, and I like books. I have a couple books, around 1200 at last count. Since I started getting into photography I've been trying to find a way to capture my books, but was never happy with the results. I tried taking several shelves together, just one shelf, just one row of one shelf...and so on. I found myself focusing closer and closer until I settled on a photo I was happy with, the spines of just a few.
As for the books themselves, the Proulx was all right, but I really wanted to feature two of my favorite authors, the coed tag-team champions of Canadian lit, Margaret Atwood and Timothy Findley. If you've not read either of them, get your sh*t together and get on it...

We all value relationships and hope that they will bring us the love that we all seek. Yet our relationships seem to fall short of their potential, and we wonder why. In this book, based on the contemporary spiritual teaching, "A Course in Miracles," Robert Perry explains why and shows us how our relationships can be, not merely a source of joy, but the way for us to awaken to God and real love.
As Perry explains, for us to find this real love in our relationships, they must go through a profound tranformation that will take the form of a journey: a journey from special relationships based on the pursuit of individual interests and specialness, to holy relationships based on the pursuit of a truly common goal. This is not an overnight change, for the relationship journey, according to "A Course in Miracles," is the spiritual journey itself.
In this book, Robert Perry guides you along this journey. First, he explains what the Course teaches about special relationships, describing the dark unconscious motives that drive our relationships. Next, he describes the shift from special to holy relationships, and then he traces the stages of the holy relationship as it develops into its sublime completion.

Disclosing a harm-causing medical error can be one of the most anguishing conversations a healthcare professional can have. In addition to fears that disclosure might lead to a lawsuit, a harm-causing error can also assault the professional’s sense of competency and adequacy. Often, the necessary conversation between healthcare professional and patient or family is avoided or conducted very poorly.
Medical Errors and Medical Narcissism examines the concept of "medical narcissism" and how error disclosure to patients and families is often compromised by the health professional’s need to preserve his or her self-esteem at the cost of honoring the patient’s right to the unvarnished truth about what has happened.
This groundbreaking book explores common psychological reactions of healthcare professionals to the commission of a serious harm-causing error and the variety of obstacles that can compromise ethically sound, truthful disclosure. Insights are offered on how talented, capable persons who feel a driving need to demonstrate their competence can fall into narcissistic traps. Guidance on disclosing errors artfully and ethically is provided through a series of step-by-step recommendations along with a list of particularly helpful words and phrases.
