I recently read and enjoyed Enders Shadow, which is a re-telling of events descried in Enders Game. I also see that Rosencrantz and Guilderstern are dead is a different perspective of Hamlet. Does anyone know other books that do this, giving a new perspective to a story already told

Was treibt eine Wlfin in die Weite Ist es der graue Gefhrte gewesen, der sie verstie oder der, der sie wollte Fing sie sich in einer Grube, vom Rudel verlassen, verraten, das ohne sie weiterzog Oder traf sie ein Schatten mitten ins Herz, der ihr sagte, dass Einsamkeit ihr Heimat sei (Und hier stelle man sich die lang gezogenen Tne des heulenden Wolfs als Hintergrundmusik der Szenerie vor. Und in das Heulen hinein fllt ein Schuss.)

For some politicians, racists are despicable until you start losing voters to them:
"Victory in the fight for trust with the economy was critical.
Another was countering the UK Independence Party (Ukip). It is easy to forget what a potent political force Nigel Farage's band of rightwing Eurosceptic insurgents then was - and what a threat it posed to the Conservatives. Its blend of status quo-bashing, saying the 'unsayable' and tapping into concerns on immigration and crime was effective against a Tory Party that had been pushed towards the centre ground. In 2014, Ukip came top in the European Parliament elections, picking up one in every four votes. They were flipping Tory MPs too, with Douglas Carswell and Mark Reckless defecting to Ukip and winning the subsequent by-elections. Ukip would go on to get almost four million votes at the 2015 election, more than 12 per cent of the total, coming second in 120 seats, but getting across the line in just one: Carswell's Clacton. Farage called the result, a reflection of the old first-past-the-post rules that the Lib Dems had tried to ditch, 'very, very painful'. 'Never in the history of British politics has anybody got more votes with fewer seats,' Farage said in an interview.
Back in 2006, Cameron had dubbed Ukip supporters a bunch of fruitcakes and loonies and closet racists'. Come 2015, he was offering an olive branch to tempt 'my little purple friends' back to the blue side. The major move here came in January 2013 with the promise of an in/out referendum on European Union membership - the starting gun on the race that would end with Brexit. The threat was less that of Ukip winning vast numbers of seats than of denying Tory victories by forcing down their vote totals, allowing another party to sneak in at the top. Isaac Levido, another Australian political strategist who is often seen as Crosby's protg and who would lead Johnson's winning 2019 election campaign, was inside the Tory tent for 2015 and acknowledged the danger. 'Ukip were an existential threat to us getting into a majority government, Levido said. "They only needed to perform marginally better in a handful of seats and we wouldn't have won a majority"

If you've idealized the life of a ski bum, or that friend that lives down by the river and kayaks every moment they can, this book takes a look at what the culture of being a dirtbag really means. It's about risk, and self-medication with more risk or alcohol and drugs, and living a life that's precarious.
Hansman looks at the racism in the ski industry, and how it survives on the backs of workers that are paid cheaply because the

74% god!! When are we getting to the bottom of this whole thing! This whole novel could have been like 50 pages shorter
Who sits and waits in the darkness
There is no movement in the blackness.
A hissing sigh floats through the air.
Are those snakes slithering in her hair
The ghostly form stands to meet us.
Is she the hostess sent to greet us
We stand alone in this bleak hall.
There wont be dancing at this ball.
Time to leave this creepy place
And quicken this storys pace.
But since this is a horror story,
We wont be leaving with much glory.

I The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton. This early by Crichton felt like it didn't age well and ended too early in the evolution of the strain. But it was written in the 1960s & probably seemed technology & scientifically advanced for the time. I didn't dislike it, I just expected to enjoy it more.

The Man Who Caught the Storm: The Life of Legendary Tornado Chaser Tim Samaras, by Brantley Hargrove, My rating:5 out of 5 stars, Read from: 01/16/2024 - 01/17/2024.
This was a totally amazing read, and I recommend it to anyone interested in tornados or summer weather events.
Book description: The life and death saga of one of historys greatest storm chasers: a tour-de-force tale of obsession, ingenuity, and the race to understand natures fiercest phenomenonthe tornado. At the turn of the twenty-first century, the tornado was one of the last true mysteries of the modern world. It was a monster that ravaged the American heartland a thousand times each year, yet sciences every effort to divine its inner workings had ended in failure. Researchers all but gave up, until the arrival of an outsider. In a field of PhDs, Tim Samaras didnt attend a day of college in his life. He chased storms with brilliant tools of his own invention and pushed closer to the tornado than anyone else ever dared. When he achieved what meteorologists had deemed impossible, it was as if he had snatched the fire of the gods. Yet even as he transformed the field, Samaras kept on pushing. As his ambitions grew, so did the risks. And when he finally met his matchin a faceoff against the largest tornado ever recordedit upended everything he thought he knew. Brantley Hargrove delivers a masterful tale, chronicling the life of Tim Samaras in all its triumph and tragedy. He takes readers inside the thrill of the chase, the captivating science of tornadoes, and the remarkable character of a man who walked the line between life and death in pursuit of knowledge. Following the tradition of Into Thin Air and The Perfect Storm, Hargroves debut offers an unforgettable exploration of obsession and the extremes of the natural world.
