Beginning in 1995, M Sarki developed a friendly working relationship with the infamous NYC editor and teacher Gordon Lish. Much will come to be written and said by others about this eighty-three year old charismatic literary personality, especially when The End eventually claims him. Their twenty year collaboration together is cause for Sarki writing this memoir. His own personal search for answers regarding their intimate relationship being the driving force behind this endeavor. Woven between a human behavior study and lengthy, but relative, book review are the revelations of the author M Sarki and his long-time muse Beverly Lane. At its core THE MAD HABIT is a love story. But this celebration of the relationship's long accomplishment as collaborators-in-life also seeks to answer the many questions involved within the workings behind the couple's relationship with the author's teacher and friend Gordon Lish. Combining personal photographs with substantive quotes, this sometimes-memoir follows a seductive path of digression, completely saturating the text, and resulting in a bulging, unseemly artifact ripe with feeling. THE MAD HABIT is unique to any specific genre as it reads as both a journaled memoir and critical book review. Source material used includes correspondence relating to this project as well as photographs. Pertinent books read while composing this master work are also commented on. Due to Lish's own ghostwriting activities revealed to Sarki many years ago he naturally proceeded to believe that one of the novels on his shelf Lish may have written under the pseudonym Clifford Hagen. THE MAD HABIT is a probing and honest look into the author's personal relationship with Gordon Lish as well as a seamless re-reading of the Clifford Hagen novel SUNSHINE.

This is a prayer book for all race, color, and religion. May all unite for there is one Creator and we are the creation. This book contains 100 prayers and is not affiliated with any religion. May this be an inspirational friend throughout your journey of life. Songs are the sweetest energy of life. They bring to union all race, color, and religion. A song for me is also a prayer, a spiritual awakening where my love for all humans comes to life. Through this, we the creation unitedly can call upon our Creator without any religious affiliation, where peace, harmony, and bliss exist. Nothing more. Nothing less. Here, a Christian, a Muslim, a Jew, a Hindu, a religious individual, or one with no faith at all can unite in a heartfelt song we sing together while keeping our own faith and including all humans as the children of The Creator. Let us the judged not be The Judge. Every day, I repent for the unknown sins of the mind, body, and soul. I pray for all humans to be just friends, to be just nice to each other. May our actions not ruin a day for a neighbor or a stranger because we choose our own way of life. May our paths, even though different they may be, create a bond of humanity amongst all the humans. These thoughts came pouring down onto my lap as I was gifted with blessed dreams from Heavens above. I believe in dreams as they have guided me throughout my life. Some dreams I have shared with others and some I have kept within my soul. I have kept a diary of my dreams as they have been remarkable as time passed by me. Never had I thought I would share them publicly. I have followed my dreams as I know dreams are just that, dreams, until we convert them into reality. So, I have now taken my dreams and created a prayer book for all race, color, and religion. May this book be the bridge of mercy uniting all humans and give back to us the basic moral value called humanity. So, from my chest I give you, "Spiritual Songs: Letters From My Chest."

The giant triton (Charonia tritonis) is a beautiful shell and a well-known predator of the crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci). In many parts of the third world, it is still being collected in large numbers and sold to tourists as ornaments. Many species of starfish are known to have outbreaks in different parts of the world. Prior to human collection, the giant triton might have controlled starfish numbers not by eating the many, but by preventing the aggregation that precedes the outbreak. At present, little is known of any aspect of the triton's ecology despite its obvious importance in controlling starfish numbers. A PDF file of the complete book "Starfish: A warning from the past" can be downloaded from either Trove or the Internet Archive. Both hard and soft cover printed books are available through links at the Charonia Research blog.

Voiceless Child. True story. Voiceless literally.Without pioneering surgery, little Heather could never talk. She had no family. A must-read! Compelling! Page-turner.When I met Heather: "Only abandoned." The words stung. Didn't the woman envision what they meant?>Heather's silent sobs puzzled me. I touched her pale fingers. In a fleeting moment, our eyes met, and her soul captured mine. Once home, I woke my husband and said we should adopt her. He protested. He thought the idea was absurd. Once he met her, he changed his mind. Little Heather was destined for an institution. Some staff thought she was deaf and blind and mentally damaged. She breathed through a trach tube in her neck. She did not even know how to move her fingers. Some dreams come true better than imagined. Heather not only survives; she thrives and grows up to have a family of her own. The book is about our struggle to adopt little Heather, and how we searched for a surgeon to restore her voice. Miraculous airway reconstructive surgery gives Heather the gifts of voice and swimming. Without it, she never could have talked, or swam with the dolphins. The story takes place in Florida. One chance meeting, and we transformed the life path of a forsaken child. More surprising is how she changed everything in our lives for the better as well. Despair, laughter, joy, bullies, and the best sorts of people paved our journey to restore Heather's health. The book is about love: that of an ordinary couple, family, friends, and one special surgeon. --Ann Giganti, author and Heather's adoptive mother Review by Janet Kortright: It was amazing!I could NOT put this book down. I read it in one night. Start to finish. I felt like I was a part of the journey, the family. I will read again and recommend to others.
