...interested in learning about what shaped the author of the bestselling vampire sagas and volumes of sadomasochistic pornography (written under a pseudonym), the book is maddening. Rice drops dark hints of severe dyslexia, militant gender ambiguity, alcoholism and bipolarity, but retreats, giving little away. The startling childhood confession very late in the book suggests that had Rice aired her demons more fully, the tale of her defection to the angels would be that much more powerful...
...upside of that system was stability, though, the downside was a limit on how much money you could make with the capital you had.

The country's stock market continues to swoon, with the benchmark index down nearly 40% since the PAD began its protest movement in late May. At a time when the government should be focusing on insulating the country from the global financial crisis, it is instead dealing with a clutch of protesters who want to replace a one-man-one-vote system with one in which representatives from different professional groups help elect...
