Lòng Dạ Đàn Bà Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hồ Biểu Chánh

This is probably my favorite Anne Tyler book. Parts of it are funny, but it really ends up feeling so melancholy. I love the part when Justine is telling the story of her crazy cousin to her carnival owner friend. Happy and sad, funny and frustrating. Disappointments occur throughout, just like life.

Combo Trọn Bộ 5 Tiểu Thuyết Trinh Thám Của Dan Brown Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Dan Brown

After the release of her best-selling Nickel and Dimed, an undercover journey to document the struggles of blue-collar employment, Barbara Ehrenreich was constantly approached with the question: what about the fall of the middle class? What about the laid-off executive who can no longer support a family, or the engineering graduate behind the counter at Starbucks? These were the motivated workers who supposedly did everything right and are now sinking toward the poverty line. In Bait and Switch, Ehrenreich continues to dispel the old-fashioned myth that in America, we can accomplish anything with hard work. Does she provide a solution? No. That's because there really is no solution. No economic system is perfect, and the current employment trends are some of the downfalls of capitalism, a system that America embraces but simultaneously condemns. Now, her experiment wasn't perfect. Creating a fake identity complete with her former name, an imagined past as a PR professional re-entering the industry, and a phony resume, Ehrenreich was only able to present a one-dimensional account of her own experience rather than get into the bigger picture. Would a real PR professional with an identical background have been to secure a position within that four month period? Who knows. Probably not. What Bait and Switch revealed to me, more than anything else, is the phoniness that exists within--I'll even broaden it from "corporate world" to the phoniness within the business world. It's an element that was present in all stages of her job search. The career coach she found online was a living farce. Networking events she attended ended up being masked religious movements (this was incredibly interesting-I'd recommend reading the book for this account alone). The book examines not just the cheesy, but the downright bizarre philosophical and psychological movements within the business world. The writing is funny and charming, making it an enjoyable read. But despite the entertaining style, the subject matter is dark and disturbing. Part of this is due to the manipulation that Ehrenreich encounters, and part is due to the people she interacts with who are falling apart.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Heather Amery

I've never been to India but I still find it fascinating, and I'm always a willing armchair traveler. This is an easy and entertaining read. The author explores India prior to/as the monsoon hits. I didn't want to leave at the end.

One of the first books I read because a student insisted, violently and passionately. I love this book...ordered another copy to re-read. Love, Choice, Sacrifice...but Love is at the center.

Người Cuối Cùng Của Bộ Tộc Mohican Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: James Fenimore Cooper

Enjoyed this. Not much naval action, rather is about one small piece of the battle of Yorktown. I will probably research more about the involvement of naval guns in the siege - wonder whether any part of the story is based on truth. Other reviewers have remarked on the anachronisms in the language. I tend not to focus on such details, but there was one that was totally jarring - Alan worries that he would be blown to "atoms" by the rebel shelling - he must've been quite precocious to be worrying about his atomic bits in 1781! I agree with the author's afterward, that much of the writing about the Revolutionary War focuses on the battles of New England, NY, PA and NJ. Enjoyed hearing just a bit about the southern theater, although from Alan's viewpoint we see only a very small slice of things. Particularly enjoyed the Chiswick brother characters.

Amalfi Coast Road Trips Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Cristian Bonetto

I read this book several years ago and enjoyed it. Forgetting that I'd already read it, I picked it up again at the suggestion of a friend. I'm glad I did. It was just as enjoyable the second time.

Soy un nuevo detective para mí, John Rebus. Su inadaptado típico, buscando justicia a toda costa. Creo que me va a gustar este chico. Ian Rankin escribe una historia de varias capas, que puede ser confusa, y debes mantener un nombre en todas las bolas que estás haciendo malabares mientras lees el libro. Las revisiones nos dicen que no es necesario leer los libros en orden, pero cada libro se basa en el mundo personal de Rebus. Ver su matrimonio disolverse, y su hija crecer, y encontrarse con sus compañeros de lucha en el crimen. Situado en Escocia, a saber, Edimburgo. En este libro también viajó a Aberdeen. Dos lugares en los que he estado y me encantó, así que fue divertido poder leer sobre estas fantásticas ciudades. El primer libro de esta serie es Nudos y cruces. Entonces tal vez nuestra pequeña biblioteca lo tendrá.
