I read this book simply because I've been looking for literature that I can screen for my pre-teen. I devoured this book because it is an incredible story! I had only a sense of the story before opening the book and I'm glad because I might not have read it. The story mimics the conflicts that most of us have with the current time involving voyeurism (i.e. reality TV), violence, survival, high-tech surveillance (Patriot Act anyone?), and of course love. I truly feel that I KNOW these characters and have grown to love both Katniss and Peeta--though I don't fully understand their nature. I look forward to Book 2 and would recommend this book to anyone!

Welcome to the inner depths of India where Balram, aka The White Tiger, will be your tourguide. He will single handedly guides us through both the richly paved streets and the tent filed slums of modern India. During our journey we will be a party to the details of his life, where we will witness his arduous climb from just another nameless, poverty ridden child, to a servant for the elite, to an up and coming entreprenuer. Through Balram's journey you will be exposed to the underbelly of India and the numerously obscene traffic jams that may eventually lead to the modernized cities that come complete with plenty of ongoing construction, shiny glass buildings and even a TGI Friday's. In rather simple prose you will take in the country's different caste systems, feed its corrupt politicians and witness the ovewhelming struggles of its innumerable poor where greed, sorrow and fear rule. So does this sound like fun? Then dive in, turn the pages and glimpse at a society, that through one man's eyes, may or may not be blamed for the decline of morality, the corruption of innocence and the eventual sociopathic lust for more than a life of mere poverty and desperation.

The majority of this book, besides the introduction and the last few essays, consists of reviews of art shows that Hughes published in times magazine in the early-to-mid 80s. His style of criticism is perfect - it finds that wonderful balance of historical context, biographical information, and (the part that so many critics miss) astute observations in front of the work itself. One of the main themes of his writing is that great art is built on history, rather than (in the prevailing myth of modernism) trying to tear it down. Not surprisingly, this leads to a pessimism on the future of art - combine the decline of art education, an ahistorical attitude on the part of many artists, and the absurd consumerism of the 80s art market (eerily similar to what's happening in Chelsea today), and even the most talented artists are at a disadvantage. It's interesting to compare this book to the equally fantastic Unnatural Wonders, but Arthur C. Danto. While Danto agrees with Hughes assessment of the end of art history - he sees this as an important development. Unconstrained from the "weight" of history, a new pluralism has swept into the art world - and artists have an unprecedented level of freedom. Personally, I tend towards Hughes outlook - without a framework (and only the most disciplined artists can impose their own framework without history), artistic freedom tends to degenerate into chaos. But it's hard not to appreciate Danto's optimism. Whatever your opinions on the future of art, Robert Hughes provides an important lesson on how to look at and think about art. Having just finished his book, I feel like I need to spend hours, if not days, in the Met - looking at all the older art I tend to walk by, and think about where my own work has come from and where it's going.
does reading a translation count? probably not...

A bit odd for Evanovich, but an interesting idea.

well...some of the writing is so lovely...and some of it is so affecting/strong/visceral/funny...but then there's such heavy-handedness in other parts, such self-consciousness! and i fundamentally did not believe the transformation the narrator undergoes--the one which, supposedly, sets him up to do the deed. i think that's because there's too much saying-not-showing on this front.

This is purely about aesthetics of design. There's almost no technique in here. It's interesting but I don't see a lot of stuff the author thinks is incredibly obvious about beautiful forms.
I love the last chapter. It makes me feel like crying and gives me chills. I read a really interesting transcript of a lecture from Yale on the novel that made me reconsider the end and from where Ruthie might be narrating the novel (did she die crossing that bridge? In the fire? Does it matter?) I love books about haunted people.
A must read if you read and liked the On Fire books. This short fits in after the two books. I smiled through the whole thing. The guys haven't changed and are loving their married life and each other. So sweet.
