Noir, but it's real. Rarely have I found non-fiction with prose that is this exceptional.

Truyện Cổ Tích Hay Nhất - Các Nàng Công Chúa Lạc Quan Tự Tin Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Trần Hy

At age 43, and after about 25 years of abusing his body with tobacco, alcohol, and overeating, the author did something completely unplanned and largely unexpected. He started to bike and to run. Since that time he has lost about 100 lbs and completed 40+ marathons! In the first part of this autobiographical/philosophical book Bingham relates his failures and inabilities as an athlete during his school years. Though he had high hopes and great determination, he was, sadly, largely without ability. The aplomb and humor with which he recounts those early years though is, and don't say this often or lightly, laugh out loud funny! I hardly ever laugh out loud when I read books, no matter how funny they are. I had to interrupt my reading to share several quotes with whoever was close enough to lend me an ear. Did I mention that this book was engaging enough that I completed it in one sitting? Well, I did. Later in the book Bingham recounts his early running experiences and realizes when he starts to run in organized races and that he is competitive...not competitive in the sense that he wins anything, but that he is competitive inwardly and outwardly with the people he finds himself with in the middle to the back of the pack, whether it's a 5K or a marathon. While non-runners will probably enjoy the early section of this book the most, runners will be better prepared to understand what he is getting at in the later chapters when he shares his thoughts and philosophy on running. Bingham is a gem...full of humor, self deprecation, and having the ability to relate to the ordinary runner and person. You know...the person who runs in the middle to the back of the pack. I highly recommend this book to runners everywhere. You don't have to be fast, but you do have to have experienced at least some running, including an organized race or two to get the full scope of this book. FYI - I started running during the winter of 2007 when I was 47, and I ran my first race, a 5K, that spring. Since then I've run 5K, 10K, and half-marathon races. Like Bingham I'm not especially fast, but I was there. So as someone who also took up racing in my middle ages, I understand completely what Bingham is getting at in this book...though I have to admit that my ambitions as a runner don't come close to his. So I say, run on, man! 4 stars overall.

Phát Triển Khả Năng Tư Duy Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Tiểu Hồng Hoa

Snoopy becomes Joe Cool, Peppermint Patty meets Marcy at camp, Charlie Brown battles book banning, and Rerun Van Pelt is born. This is a particularly weak collection of Peanuts because of a couple of obnoxious ideas that they developed. Snoopy was probably at the height of his popularity, and Joe Cool pushed him over the top. I find Joe Cool to be rather boring and it seems like it would have been dated, even for the 1970s. Rerun is particularly irritating (he doesn't actually appear in this collection). Schulz created Rerun as a little brother for Lucy & Linus but rarely seemed to use him (he'd randomly show up and just look like Linus in overalls).

Gulliver Du Kí (Sách Bỏ Túi) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Jonathan Swift

Ett Öga Rött just... was. It did present a clear picture of a teenager's mind, with all its good and bad ideas, but didn't do much more than that. I couldn't tell if Jonas Khemiri attempted to generalize the immigrant teenage experience in Sweden, or if he simply described one boy's personality. My favorite character was the father, though -- his heartbreak was truly heartbreaking. But the character of the boy, Halim, just seemed a little artificial, overblown.

Another fun read in the Inspector Lynley series. I had no idea what some of the British references meant, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the story.

Bồi Dưỡng Học Sinh Giỏi - Phương Trình Hàm Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Tài Chung

Right after finishing the book, I wanted to give it a 3 star rating because I felt as though a light had been abruptly switched off, and I was left in the darkness, with more questions than answers. I just wanted to continue reading and have a sense of closure. However, when I had a chance to reflect on the author's writing style, the unforgettable imagery that he (and the translator) brought to my mind, and my own emotions as I was drawn into the protagonist's life - I have to, in all fairness, give the book at least a 4 star rating, which it richly deserves. The prose is sparse, yet potent.. you have to re-read many sentences just to grasp the hidden meaning behind the text. There is a poignant beauty in the wilderness of Norway, which is described so gracefully in this book. The protagonist (Trond) is living the rest of his years as an elderly widower in a small village in Norway, in a rustic cabin not unlike the one he shared with his father during one fateful summer in 1948, when he was a teenager. We are given glimpses of his memories of that time, and his almost dream-like current state where he copes with the death of his wife. The pace of the book is surprisingly quick and you learn (as does Trond), that his father's past involved more than just leading a bucolic existence in a remote part of Norway. So an extremely interesting plot line develops, but you are left with this very unsatisfied feeling at the end of the book. Perhaps that was the author's goal - to make the reader mull over the tragedy of lost youth, coming to terms with unfulfilled promises made by a parent, and the experience of recalling long forgotten memories as a result of the self imposed isolation that is almost inevitable after losing loved ones. "Out Stealing Horses" is a combination of meditative prose and quietly powerful narrative that is a refreshing reading experience. I think it might be even more enjoyable to the reader if they keep in mind that every word is to be relished, instead of waiting for the proverbial "beginning", "middle" and the "end".

Wow, the twist and turns this story took hit me by surprise and the ending really was nothing I imagined it would be. Great book, hard to put down and made you think about the justice system.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (20th Anniversary Editions - 4 Books - Paperback) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: J. K. Rowling

This book is totally deserving of 5 stars. The plot is powerful, the characters have depth, it is historically accurate (as far as I can tell), the story moves at a good pace, the author's insight into human nature is compelling, and the subject is important. However, I didn't enjoy reading it. I was so disturbed by the issues that came up. I do pretty well with books about difficult subjects when there is some hope or illustration of people rising above their situations, but I didn't feel that here. I came away from the book still feeling hopeless. So, while the book is excellently written, and I can see why so many people have been touched by it, I can't really say I liked it.

This was actually my favorite textbook to read for Fall 2011 semester. Although it wasn't too bad for the most part, it had too much that wasn't really needed. I'm sure most people would actually take that stuff and read it, but I just skipped them because they weren't really all that important to my class.
