Lấp Kín Một Lặng Im Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lu

This is the book the college at which I work chose for their summer reading last year. I read it because I was on the First Year committee. Not a bad book, though I found myself questioning how accurately portrayed the characters were. There is an afterword in which the author speaks about how he went about writing the book. For the observer out there, that in itself makes it worthwhile reading. It follows a boy from ghetto D.C. through college at Brown University. The challenges discussed (race, class, religion, family, education) struck a chord with this lower middle-class white girl.

October 2013: Keeping my original review (see below) because it's fun to remember how much this book threw me, but after two years of almost memorizing entire parts of this book and reading others, I have some theories. This is Ian McEwan's best book. The others (Saturday, Amsterdam) don't stand out in the same way. That seemed fishy to me, until I realized that most of his best elements come from other stories. His skill was putting those elements together in a way that seemed fresh and new. Lady Chatterley's Lover: After reading about Mellors, Lord Chatterley's gamekeeper who's well-educated and smarter than almost everyone else around him, who ends up schtupping his employer's wife, I realized that Robbie is Mellors, only pure of heart. Cecilia's transformation from snooty to maternal and caring is more complete than Constance's self-actualization, but it's nonetheless there. Bonus similarity: the shocking use of "c*nt" in both stories. No Time For Romance: In his acknowledgements, this out-of-print book written by a wartime civilian nurse gets just a peep of a mention. McEwan does not disclose that entire passages from Lucilla Andrews's memoir are re-written, almost verbatim. The Go Between: Another mid-century novel about turn-of-the-century people. Here, another doomed inter-class couple use a kid to send letters back and for between each other. Kid has no clue what's going on, realizes, and promptly freaks out. See also: Briony, Cecilia, Robbie. To be fair, McEwan also mentions that this was an influence for Atonement. I'll keep adding the obvious similarities when I stumble upon them. I'm sure there's more. There's no getting around it: this is an old plot with a trick ending, and it strives to be the Most British of all the British books. The author borrowed liberally from others. That said, my 5 stars remains. It's still a favorite read that sucker punches me, every time. ________________________________ September 2011: "It is a fearful thing to love what death can touch. A fearful thing to love, hope, and dream to be -- to be, and! to lose." This book put me in shock for a solid week. I wouldn't call it pleasant, but how often does a book toy provoke such raw emotions that I felt them physically? Spoilers below, so read carefully. * * * * People who disliked the novel (and I've read their reviews, trying to figure out how in the world such a thing is possible) complained that the plot is an old one -- a misunderstanding that transfigures into to a horrible wrong that leads a tragic ending. The probably felt like I did at the end of My Sister's Keeper (which I still am embarrassed to have read AND cried at), which is completely emotionally jinxed. And having reread it four or five times in short succession, there are hints aplenty that Briony, for all her guilt and commitment to the truth later in life, is completely unable to write it, no matter how hard she tries. You reread Part III when she visits her sister and Robbie and the now obvious falsehoods taunt you: Robbie's jacket is said to have corporal's stripes (we know he wasn't eligible for officer's training), Cecilia is made a ward sister at an EMS (though we know from her last letter to Robbie that she works maternity at another hospital, and likely is just a senior staff nurse)...these among other inconsistencies should warn us, and at least confuse us, when the obvious moment comes at the end. You realize she had added them to assuage her guilt, to improve Robbie and Cecilia in the minds of the readers through their work. What I realize about those readers who hated it was they read for plot. Me, I'm a character reader. I didn't get a lump caught in my throat because I had been hoodwinked. I did it because it was Robbie and Cecilia I had lost at the end of the book. They meant something to me. You read Atonement because you have exclusive access, through Briony's lens, at their most human of thoughts. You read because you want utter knowledge that Briony fully understands her crime, only be gobsmacked at the end when she wonders if they would be there, still in love, enjoying her play with their extended family. Then you realized Briony hasn't changed much from 13 and, in fact, the book is all for her. I loved Briony's version of Robbie and Cecilia. I felt pain when I realized Briony had prevented me from ever really knowing them without her literary touch. They're fictional of course, but very, very real.

The language was characteristically good for McCarthy, but in the end this one just didn't really resonate with me like some of his other work has.

Just Like Family by Tasha Blaine was another book that I just picked up on a whim during my pre-vacation library spree. I love reading stories about people. Not necessarily autobiographies, although I do like them…more like case studies of a person’s life or lessons learned from a certain period. I think I enjoy earing about a life other than my own and about someone who is very different than I am. And that’s what attracted me to this book. Just Like Family gives you an inside look at the lives of nannies and the families for which they work. Tasha Blaine came up with the idea for the book while working as a nanny while going to school for her MFA. Being a nanny was not her calling but, she did discover a few things about the world of nannies that sparked her interest in writing about them. The book follows three nannies – Claudia, Vivian and Kim. Each of them presents a very different story but, they all share a common thread – their love of the children they care for. Claudia came to the US from the Dominican Republic and struggles as a single mother who is devoted to helping her family back in the Dominican while also trying to live her life here. Vivian is the super nanny. She always knew she would be a nanny and is dedicated to the profession and the twin boys she’s cared for for six years it in a way that borders on obsession. Kim was a nanny for several years before getting married but, now she is going through a divorce and hastily accepts a live-in nanny position for a young couple with a baby on the way. Just Like Family switches between the lives of these three nannies and occasionally throws in information from the families they are working for. Claudia’s family contributes their side of the story the most while the other two families only have a slight contribution or none at all. It’s interesting to hear about the very different lives these three women lead but, you also see the similarities. They are different locations and in different stages of their life and career but face many of the same struggles. This was an easy read and I though it provided great insight into a world that I know nothing about. It was interesting and well written but, definitely not for everyone.

Phù Thủy Xứ Oz - Tái bản 10/2013 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: L. Frank Baum

A definitive look into the life of Jim Morrison - starting in the very beginning all the way to the bitter end. The in-depth look breaks down every album, song and tour along the way - at times, in far too much depth - no stone is left unturned. Fanatics of The Doors will surely love it while it's also a good read for those just curious and trying to learn more.
