Ernest Hemmingway's Hills Like White Elephants?
831616
This is one of those stories where they really aren't saying what they are actually talking about.\nThe couple in the story is discussing her being pregnant and what to do about it - abortion - which would have been pretty scandalous at the time that it was written so Hemingway has them discuss it without "saying it".\n\nKnowing thats what they are discussing, does that help you get what happens?

I believe they all have different levels of rock-ness to them.... elephant has more of a hardness to the rock, while get behind me satan seems to turn a bit more alternative when jack white started to do duets with country/bluegrass singers... white blood sells seems to go back to the beginning style of bands like the ramones and many early popular brit bands... so i pick elephant... it is quite good... the track "little acorns" is my fav... enjoy !!!

I'm glad you asked that, not because I have the answer but because me and my daughter, well . . . me anyways, are reading Moby Dick, and I never remembered it being so detailed on Cetology or in the beginning of the novel before he meets Queequeg.   Maybe I cheated back in my highschool or junior high days and got the Cliff Notes, but I coulda swore I read the book.  Oh well, that's been many decades ago.  I just got past the part where Captain Ahab kicked Stubb (First Mate isn't he??) and Stubb had the dream where someone asks him why is it so bad to be kicked by Ahab since his leg is made of ivory,etc..  My daughter, who lives with her mother about 65 miles southeast of me, probably hasn't read one word of it since she's a lot like her mother, who didn't like to read.  I read "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to her when she was pregnant with either our son or daughter, I can't remember which.  She liked to be read to but wouldn't do it herself, so, I doubt my daughter has read any of "Moby Dick" since she hasn't said anything about it.  Oh well, I'm rambling on.  Sorry.  Maybe I'll continue the book, but the Cetology part is way too detailed and "informational" for me.  I want more "action", and am becoming too addicted to the brainless tv, and too lazy to read fine novels.  I hope you finish the book.  It's a wonderful piece of literature.  God Bless you.

This is one of the gold standards.\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0123984203/102-5164595-0139312?v=glance&n=283155\n\nUnfortunately, Dr Karl retired from the field, and has not published an update for quite some time, so the book is rather hard to find.

I think that in the book of Genesis, it does mention a "Behemoth" of some ilk- with an enormous tail (ergo, it could not have been an elephant).\n\nAdditonal notes:\n\nIt is in the story of Noah and the ark, where it makes this reference.

It sounds good. Better than cowsh*t or dogsh*t, although horsesh*t sounds pretty good too. Elephantsh*t is a greater quantity than BS, but it is too long.

Intriguing! Did you write this yourself? It's as if you took the works of Ayn Rand, Stephen King, and Roald Dahl then mixed them all together. \n As for a mottled mattress......Yuck! There are some mysteries better left alone. (for instance, what's really in grandma's casserole) ;)

Entertaining and inspiring read, while perhaps not the work of genius that it has been called.\n\nWhat struck me as really weird: the intro to each chapter is made from quotes claiming how brilliant and extraordinary the author is. Kind of weird to put something like that in one's own book...

Flipping between alternate worlds, a talking wolf and a mother who is dying with only her son "Jackie-O" to save her is what the book "The Talisman", by Stephen King and Peter Straub is all about and it makes for some exciting reading that would easily translate to the big screen!\n\nJack has come to the east coast with his actress mother who is dying of cancer.  As summer draws to a close Jack feels his mother fading along with the autumn leaves.  Mother and son both know it's just a matter of time before winter steals in with it's deathly cold both outside and inside his mother.  As Jack ponders his mother's fate he wanders to what appears a deserted amusement park.  There he meets a man, Speedy Parker, who offers a hope that rests on Jack's young shoulders.  Can he bear up under the burden of being his mother's hero?\n\nJack learns that he can "flip" in and out of an alternate earth, "The Territories", where his mother's "twinner" is a queen in trouble by a vile villian named Morgan Sloat who can also flip between the two worlds and wants to kill both women.  To save both of their lives Jack must win the race across the continent to the west coast and a hotel called the Alhambra where the Talisman awaits.\n\nOn the trip Jack meets a talking wolf who flips with him into our world and is afraid of movies, is imprisoned in a boy's home by a cruel man named Sunlight Gardener, and befriends the son of the man who is trying to kill him.  The final trip by train shows him horrors that could only be alive in the worst nightmares.\n\nStephen King and Peter Straub are both proven best sellers in their field.  Stephen King has had multiple books made into high gross movies.  I believe "The Talisman", would easily join that group as it appeals to the young, old and everyone in between.\n\n(Quick word count 331.)

Wow.  Thanks for giving me such an interesting Sunday afternoon read!  I've never heard of Oliver before.  It's really too bad that he was passed from person to person over his lifetime.  Doesn't sound like much fun.  I'm glad he ended up in a primate sanctuary.
