Love Among the RuinsAmid the crises of the summer of 1968, two teenagers become lovers. Emily is a good Catholic girl, for whom an incarnate God means joy and contentment in the life of the body. William is preoccupied, in a vague sort of way, with politics and the evils of the System. Together, impelled by physical passion and the idealistic notion that "all our life is some form of religion, and all our action some belief," they run away to create a new life in the

Amid the crises of the summer of 1968, two teenagers become lovers. Emily is a good Catholic girl, for whom an incarnate God means joy and contentment in the life of the body. William is preoccupied, in a vague sort of way, with politics and the evils of the System. Together, impelled by physical passion and the idealistic notion that "all our life is some form of religion, and all our action some belief," they run away to create a new life in the wilderness. In their absence, their parents' predictable lives take an entirely different course, and America itself seems to lose its innocence, never to be quite the same again. Not since Alice McDermott's That Night or Scott Spencer's Endless Love has there been a novel that portrays with such immediacy and respect teenagers' first loveits intensity, finely calibrated moods, and worldly innocenceand the elusive nature of adult loveits passion and fragility, comforts and betrayals.

Pretty cheap but surprisingly solid
Color: Black
This thing comfortably fits my 16” MacBook Pro. It does tilt a bit probably due to me screwing it to the underside of my wooden desk which probably isn’t the exact use for it, but it holds really strong and isn’t going anywhere. Combining this with a small USB-C hub for some USB As and and extra HDMI and a little bit of Velcro, this holder makes for a pretty solid option to hide you laptop away if you a surprisingly clean desktop-like experience, even if you’re on a budget and can’t afford a desktop. A proper thunderbolt docking station would go a long way with this as well.

Works as advertised
Color: Black
Functions as described. Looks good. Laptop fits in loosely. I’d prefer a more snug fit. Other than that, works as advertised.

Genius solution for a cleaner, more organized desk
Color: Transparent, Color: Transparent
This mount completely transformed my workspace. I was looking for a way to get my laptop off my desk without buying a whole new piece of furniture, and this delivered. The clear design blends into any space so it doesn’t look clunky, and installation was easier than I expected. My laptop is secure and easily accessible, and I’ve freed up so much desk real estate. If you’re trying to create a cleaner, more minimal workspace, this is a great purchase. We did have to screw it in place because the sticky side came off after a few days, but I think it’s just the temperature fluctuations in my office.
