The Institute-Perpustakaan.org
By:Stephen King
Published on 2021-06-29 by Simon and Schuster
In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis' parents and load him into a black SUV.
The operation takes less than two minutes.
Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there's no window.
And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents--telekinesis and telepathy--who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and 10-year-old Avery Dixon.
They are all in Front Half.
Others, Luke learns, graduated to Back Half, "like the roach motel," Kalisha says.
"You check in, but you don't check out." In this most sinister of institutions, the director, Mrs.
Sigsby, and her staff are ruthlessly dedicated to extracting from these children the force of their extranormal gifts.
There are no scruples here.
If you go along, you get tokens for the vending machines.
If you don't, punishment is brutal.
As each new victim disappears to Back Half, Luke becomes more and more desperate to get out and get help.
But no one has ever escaped from The Institute.

The Book of Speculation-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Erika Swyler
Published by St. Martin's PressPublished since 2015-06-23
One of BuzzFeed's 24 Best Fiction Books of 2015 "As Simon, a lonely research librarian, searches frantically for the key to a curse that might be killing the women in his family, he learns strange and fascinating secrets about their past.
A tale full of magic and family mystery, The Book of Speculation will keep you up all night reading."—Isaac Fitzgerald, BuzzFeed Simon Watson, a young librarian, lives alone in a house that is slowly crumbling toward the Long Island Sound.
His parents are long dead.
His mother, a circus mermaid who made her living by holding her breath, drowned in the very water his house overlooks.
His younger sister, Enola, ran off six years ago and now reads tarot cards for a traveling carnival.
One June day, an old book arrives on Simon's doorstep, sent by an antiquarian bookseller who purchased it on speculation.
Fragile and water damaged, the book is a log from the owner of a traveling carnival in the 1700s, who reports strange and magical things, including the drowning death of a circus mermaid.
Since then, generations of "mermaids" in Simon's family have drowned--always on July 24, which is only weeks away.
As his friend Alice looks on with alarm, Simon becomes increasingly worried about his sister.
Could there be a curse on Simon's family? What does it have to do with the book, and can he get to the heart of the mystery in time to save Enola? In the tradition of Sara Gruen's Water for Elephants, Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus, and Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian, The Book of Speculation--with two-color illustrations by the author--is Erika Swyler's moving debut novel about the power of books, family, and magic.
To Rise Again at a Decent Hour-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Joshua Ferris
Published by Little, BrownPublished since 2014-05-13
Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, this big, brilliant, profoundly observed novel by National Book Award Finalist Joshua Ferris explores the absurdities of modern life and one man's search for meaning.
Paul O'Rourke is a man made of contradictions: he loves the world, but doesn't know how to live in it.
He's a Luddite addicted to his iPhone, a dentist with a nicotine habit, a rabid Red Sox fan devastated by their victories, and an atheist not quite willing to let go of God.
Then someone begins to impersonate Paul online, and he watches in horror as a website, a Facebook page, and a Twitter account are created in his name.
What begins as an outrageous violation of his privacy soon becomes something more soul-frightening: the possibility that the online "Paul" might be a better version of the real thing.
As Paul's quest to learn why his identity has been stolen deepens, he is forced to confront his troubled past and his uncertain future in a life disturbingly split between the real and the virtual.
At once laugh-out-loud funny about the absurdities of the modern world, and indelibly profound about the eternal questions of the meaning of life, love and truth, To Rise Again at a Decent Hour is a deeply moving and constantly surprising tour de force.
The Novel of Female Adultery-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Bill Overton
Published by SpringerPublished since 2016-07-27
The novel of adultery is a nineteenth-century form about the experience of women, produced almost exclusively by men.
Bill Overton's study is the first to address the gender implications of this form, and the first to write its history.
The opening chapter defines the terms 'adultery' and 'novel of adultery', and discusses how the form arose in Continental Europe, but failed to appear in Britain.
Successive chapters deal with its development in France, and with examples from Russia, Denmark, Germany, Spain and Portugal.
