Mary Flannery O’Connor was born in 1925 in Savannah, Georgia. She was the only child of Edward F. and Regina Cline O’Connor. Her father was diagnosed with lupus in 1937; he died on the first of February, 1941. Mary Flannery was devastated, and almost never spoke of him in later years.\n\nFlannery described herself as a "pigeon-toed only child with a receding chin and a you-leave-me-alone-or-I'll-bite-you complex." As a child she was in the local newspapers when she taught a chicken that she owned to walk backwards. She said, "That was the most exciting thing that ever happened to me. It's all been downhill from there."\n\nO'Connor attended Peabody High School, from which she graduated in 1942. She entered Georgia State College for Women (now Georgia College & State University), where she majored in English and Sociology (the latter a perspective she satirized effectively in novels such as The Violent Bear It Away). In 1946 Flannery O'Connor was accepted into the prestigious Iowa Writer's Workshop.\n\nIn 1949 O'Connor met and eventually accepted an invitation to stay with Robert Fitzgerald (translator of Greek epic plays and poems, including Oedipus Rex and both the Odyssey and the Iliad) and his wife, Sally, in rural Connecticut.\n\nIn 1951 she was diagnosed with lupus, and subsequently returned to her ancestral farm Andalusia in Milledgeville. There she raised and nurtured some 100 peafowl. Obsessed with birds of all kinds, she raised ducks, hens, geese, and any sort of exotic bird she could obtain, as well as incorporated images of peacocks often in her books. She descibes her peacocks in one essay.\n\nDespite the fact that she lived a rather sheltered life, her writing reveals an almost uncanny grasp of the nuances of human behavior. She was a deeply devoted Catholic living in the mostly Protestant South.\n\nShe died August 3, 1964 at Baldwin County Hospital and was buried in Milledgeville, Georgia.\n\n[edit]\nCareer\nAn important voice in American literature, O'Connor wrote two novels and 31 short stories, as well as a number of reviews and commentaries. She was a Southern writer in the vein of William Faulkner, often writing in a Southern Gothic style and relying heavily on regional settings and grotesque characters. A life-long Roman Catholic, her writing is deeply informed by the sacramental, and by the Thomist notion that the created world is charged with God.\n\nThe Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction, named in honor of O'Connor, is a prize given annually to an outstanding collection of short stories.\n\n[edit]\nBibliography\nWise Blood, 1952 \nA Good Man Is Hard To Find, 1955 \nThe Violent Bear It Away, 1960 \nA Memoir of Mary Ann (Editor and author of introduction), 1962 \nEverything That Rises Must Converge, 1965 \nMystery and Manners: Occasional Prose, Edited by Sally Fitzgerald and Robert Fitzgerald, 1969 \nThe Habit of Being: Letters, Edited by Sally Fitzgerald, 1979 \nThe Presence of Grace and Other Book Reviews, Edited by Carter W.

Read the book with an open mind but also with caution.  I am sure that the book is not entirely worthless, although I have not read it.  I just read the synoposis and reviews on amazon.  However, I am familiar with books like this: Benedictine monks going on a spiritual journey, often making use of Buddhist and other Oriental thought.  \n\nIn my honest opinion, I believe that books like this reflect a great thirst in the West, even in long-standing churches, for genuine spirituality.  I think the amenities of popular culture as well as over-rationalization, among numerous other factors, have eliminated to a great extent a sense in Western culture of the sacred.  My advice: look into Orthodox Christianity, or perhaps at traditional Catholic spirituality.  Of course, if you're Protestant, this might be an issue with you, and if so I can't help you!

How do people come up with that?  Yes it really is amazing.  It boggles my mind to try to think of how someone figured all that out.  I dont think it proves anything about the book though.

Greetings my sister. I am Daniker, warrior prince of the Shedi people. The dark forces of Amaya are regrouping for the final conflagration (as foretold in the Second Book of Shymon). Our task, which is of great immediacy, is to muster all our allies to defend the Sacred Light and Truth, and to defeat the evil Amaya once and for all. Be in contact with me soon, and alert all the righteous ones.

If you highly recommend it as a good translation of the Upanishad, I would gladly like to receive it. You needn't give it to me for free, I will gladly pay you for it and the shipping. The only version of the Upanishads I have is not very good at all. It only has five of the Upanishads in it and most of the book is "Translator's Commentary". The book was translated by a Christian missionary so the version tends to use Christian terminology (and the Translator's Commentary, which takes up half of the book, is full of "how the Upanishads compare to the Bible"). Its an awful translation! :(  I probably should have known better since the first version of the Bhagavad Gita that I bought was from the same company and it failed to translate a great deal of the Sanskrit (so in the middle of sentences would be Sanskrit phrases, but then no translation of what it meant). Thankfully the head organizers of the satsang I attended got together and got me a copy of the version they use (which is the one that was translated by Christopher Isherwood & Swami Prabhavananda). It's a very good version that I am so thankful to be able to read. That said, if your Upanishads was translated by Swami Prabhavananda then I have great hopes that the translation does a great deal of justice to the Upanishads and well worth the read. \n\nI don't feel comfortable posting my address, etc, here, but you can contact me for that (just click 'contact gabriel_zachary). I do live in the US (Oklahoma). I hope you find a good home for the book (even if not with me...afterall if God intends for me to have it, then it'll be, if not then atleast I now have heard of the book and if you give me your recommendation of it being a good book, then I won't hesitate to buy it at a later date)\n\nPeace be with you,\n\nNate

I read that book. I'd be glad to help you, it's just that we don't know what to answer. You didn't give us the questions. Please put them up.

for reviews go to amazon.com and search for "the reader" in "books." (i tried giving you a link but it was too long)\n\nas for what happens, the best way to learn that would probably be to read the book...sparknotes doesn't have it, i just checked.

Try sparknotes.com for a pretty good summary. Just don't read the summary instead of the book...read the summary, then read the corresponding chapter to get a better understanding. The best thing you can do is PAY ATTENTION in class and ask lots of questions of your teacher. He or she might not know you are having trouble understanding things. Also, try asking for after school help; most teachers, especially English teachers, are willing to do that to help you learn. I know that any time my students need extra help or support, all they have to do is ask! :~)
