Carmen Cordoba _armend98 — كتاب أكثر من رائع

Final Touch final_touch — This is my favorite of Calvino's novels. The baron in the trees can't touch the ground--ever. I think he travels from tree to tree to find a princess in Spain. It's been a while since I read this, but I wouldn't mind re-reading it.

Darren Bryant darren_bryant — i have been reading Thomas Harris books since I was 12 years old. I was the only 6th grader who could announce she had already read silence of the lambs twice before the movie came out. Since then I have revisited the novel Red Dragon so many times that I could read the lines from memory along with the actors of the movie. So i was excited to read Black Sunday as one of his ealier works, but was extremely disappointed. So much so that I can't even finish the book. The charcters are unbelieveable. Too much of the details are still left in Thomas Harris' mind, since they are definitely not on the pages. Obviously he hit a gold mine with Hannibal Lector and that is as far as his talent can be extended.

Aleksandra Kostovska alekstutuncu — This book by Edward Luce, a British journalist who served many years in India, is a very insightful study of the complexities and contradictions of today's India and its development. It doesn't get carried away by India's burgeoning IT sector or its middle class or its pharmaceutical and other sectors which are doing well in a globalized world. It balances it with disturbing facts such as the following: that only 0.1% of India's workforce is employed by the IT sector; that only 0.7% India's workforce is involved in manufacturing; that only 3.5% India pays its taxes... But it also gives credit to the great institution of Indian democracy in spite of multitudes of differences in religion, caste, language and class. Over all, it cautions India not to get carried away by statistics and super power ambitions but stay focussed on lifting rural India out of poverty and bring it into the 21st century, as otherwise the stability and continuity of its march towards future greatness would be compromised. Of course, he is very critical of the Indian bureaucracy which he says is a mafia-like presence in the lives of ordinary, hard-working peasants and urban people. There have been many who have predicted India's demise in the future since independence and the country has proved them all wrong, both on the political left and the right. Edward Luce does not crystal gaze. He is just a sympathetic observer of India and just like Indians themselves, would like it to achieve its potential. I would recommend the book to anyone who is interested in today's India and its rise.
