I read this last night in an insomniac fit. It was cold and dark and rainy, and I was alone. I can't think of a more fitting setting for reading this, unless you were in an old farmhouse with drafty windows, sitting by a stove in your rocking chair. Throw in a batty old lady, and you could be in Starkfield itself! I love creepy stories - ones that slowly start to overwhelm you with that sense that something just ain't right. "Oh dear, this isn't going to go well." The build-up of foreshadowing, imagery and the character's emotional state leads to a bit of fear and a bit of panic. At first I thought Ethan Frome felt like a modern gothic - it reminds me a lot of Shirley Jackson's short stories, or the desperation of Daphne du Maurier. But then folks smarter than me pointed out that Wharton is considered to be part of the U.S. Literary Naturalism movement. Ethan Frome is certainly dripping with pessimism. Supposedly Wharton wrote ghost stories as well, so maybe she was a genre straddler? At any rate, if you like modern gothic, make sure you read Ethan Frome. I loved Wharton's use of color throughout the book. In such a bleak place as the isolated farm in winter, the little village of Starkfield, and the struggling characters that inhabit the story, everything feels so drab. Then Wharton throws in the bursts of color: the red streak in Mattie's hair, the red pickle dish, a red flushed face and the red sun at the end of a winter day. Blue appeared as the sky, the shadows on the snow and a blue haze. Wharton seemed to know how to put just the right amount of vivid imagery and objects to set the scene. "The sled started with a bound, and they flew on through the dusk, gathering smoothness and speed as they went, with the hollow night opening out below them and the air singing by like an organ. Mattie sat perfectly still, but as they reached the bend at the foot of the hill, where the big elm thrust out a deadly elbow, he fancied that she shrank a little closer." Finally a note about Wharton herself. She had an unhappy marriage. So much so, that her doctor recommended she spend more time writing stories as an outlet for her stress and anxieties. She ended up having a love affair the same time as she was getting a divorce. This is a woman who understood the temptation and passion of illicit love, as well as the misery of being bound by life's choices. Also, look at Edith's doggies. Just look at em! (Not one of them looks very happy, do they?)

The Zelig-like story of a fictional robot and his role in late 19th-early 20th century American and world history, Boilerplate is not a quick read; it's set up like a history textbook or a coffee table book, more something to dip into. But the careful and thorough detail, both visual and historical, makes for an exceptionally rewarding read.

Phút Nhìn Lại Mình (Tái Bản 2016) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Another great book from the Dresden Files. We learn a lot more about Harry's bloodline all while riding the wave of continuous impending doom and action-packed encounters with baddies. It's threaded with great life lessons (typically elicited by challenging situations) and laugh-out-loud humor. I don't think I'll ever get tired of being in Harry's world!

Tập Làm Nhà Phát Minh - Thế Giới Rộng Mở Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Gerry Bailey

Terry Pratchett has written more than thirty-five Discworld books. Of the lot I've ready maybe a dozen. I read Colour of Magic the year it was first published and some how completely missed that the book had become a series. Even though I introduced Ian to Pratchett's books he has read significantly more of the series than I have. I decided to read Small Gods after hearing it performed on Radio 4 and a copy came my way via BookCrossing. I'm glad I heard the audio version first because I found the jumps between scenes hard to follow at times. The lack of chapter breaks also made pacing myself more difficult (and is one of the reasons why I haven't read as many Pratchett books as Ian). After having suffered through The Silver Chair, Small Gods was like an antidote to all the preachy rhetoric of the previous book. It was a nice parody of the extremes of religion set against the philosophy cum geekery. In the middle of all of this is a once great god reduced to the status of "small god" and trapped in the body of a tortoise. It is Om's view of the war (and the world) between Omnia and Ephebe and his conversations with Brutha that really make this book funny.

This has been on the TBR pile for a little while and I fancied a fantasy so I decided to give it a read. I'd be hard pushed to set down the plot in a few words but it tells of two half brothers, Anaxantis and Ehandar, who are sent by their king father on what seems like a fools errand to protect the Northern borders of the country. Anaxantis is weak and sickly and his brother takes full advantage of that. However, after brutal treatment by Ehander, Anaxantis vows revenge and is determined to turn the tables. There are some very difficult themes in this book, incest for a start - although there's hints that they may not be true brothers - and a pretty horrible rape scene. However, as these events are needed for the story to progress, and also because incest doesn't bother me anyway, I could see why they were included. The book is thick with rich plotting, fully rounded characters, devious plotting and politics, and a hero who I both liked and disliked - he truly was a mix of anti-hero and true hero, and one of the best parts of the book was the conflicted personality of Anaxantis. My only niggle was the excessive head-hopping which jarred me out of the narrative. However, that seemed to be the style that the author was aiming for with an omniscient narrator and so I went with it after a while. The book is first of a trilogy and as such ends on a cliff hanger. I rushed off to buy the sequel and I'm looking forward to that.

Teen Văn Học - Đoản Khúc Sài Gòn Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Trần Hoàng Trâm

Have you ever known someone who guilted you into staying somewhere where you knew you should not be? Like when a family starts to fight and you want to excuse yourself? Or when you have an awkward moment between your friend, her boyfriend and you? I have been there and one that, even in a relationship. I can honestly say that I have had a relationship before that was bad. And Stay, definitely covered the essence of a bad relationship and more. I loved this book! I found my self nodding my head a lot because I knew and could tell how this guy would react. I have been in this type of relationship before and it was very hard to get out of. If I tried to leave, he would threaten to kill himself and blame me. I, in turn felt guilty and stayed. Only to find out I had yet made another mistake. And I blame myself for being stupid and falling into his game. The way the relationship was described in all its glory, the hurt, the games, the threats, played out really well. I like seeing the whole relationship from where it started to where it went. It fell in smoothly and so did the reader. The healing part of the book I felt was surprising to me. Clara learned a secret only to find out how it affected her now. I was sadden by this and I'm glad the reader got to see Clara learn from it. But it also says that not everyone is the same. Some people can be pushed to certain limits and take it, while others can't. Stay is a captivating book with lots of love, hurt, and betrayals. The relationship was told very well from beginning to end. The switching of time frames is written smoothly which allows the reader a great insight of where things are going. Everything about this book makes you stay and finish it.

I did love all the references to Paris but this book was just too long. The first half was good but the parts that dealt with all the work camps and the war was redundant of so many other books I've read. I give the book a 6 on my scal of 10.
