Before the year 1000, the word "she" did not exist in the English language. The singular female reference was the word "heo", which also was the plural of all genders. The word "she" appeared only in the 12th century, about 400 years after English began to take form. "She" probably derived from the Old English feminine "seo", the Viking word for feminine reference
And Now You Do

Novel: Life of Pi
by Yann Martel
|
|
Published: 2001; Pages: 326; Rating: Excellent
When you first see the title of this book, you think it must be some mathematical story with an endless set of non-repeating numbers, but it is not. Nothing mathematical about this book at all. The name “Pi” comes from the main character’s name, an Indian boy, by the name of Piscine. Pi is just his nickname.
Typically I do not like books by foreign writers with a foreign setting, but this one sort of broke the mold and after starting off a little slow, turned into an excellent page turner that had a wind blowing you right to the very end. It was different, no doubt about it.

Novel: The Broker
by John Grisham
|
|
Published: 2005; Pages: 357; Rating: Good
“The Broker” is a lawyer languishing in a prison somewhere when the first pages are turned. Once upon a time he had a huge office in Washington D.C. overlooking the White House and brokered deals worth megamillions. Caviar was the only thing he had for breakfast each morning. But, he tried to broker a deal that affected satellite security involving every major nation in the world and they all got mad at him. The CIA scooped him up and hid him away with a never ending sentence. He is also about fifty years old and I am wondering if that is the age of Grisham these days.

Novel: ''Trojan Odyssey''
by Clive Cussler
|
|
Published: 2003; Pages: 485; Rating: Good
Dirk Pitt rides again as he and Al Giordino gallop off into the sunrise of ancient lands and adventures with exotic women. Long legged women too. I think the first Dirk Pitt novel I ever read was “Raise The Titanic” which was an excellent book full of history regarding the ship sunk in 1912. I call these books Dirk Pitt novels although they are written by Clive Cussler. Dirk just happens to be his recurring character and action hero that flogs the bad guys and wins the women in each book. Al Giordino is his trusty sidekick (like Poncho with the Cisco Kid) and does the blocking for Dirk when he is carrying the ball.
