One of the best introductions to linguistics I've ever read. Absolutely recommended for anyone who wants to know a little bit more about language.

What an absolute treat! I ADORED this book from the very first page--the lyrical poetry of the writing, the quiet introspection of the narrators, the subtle symbolism. This book is an interesting mixture of "Sophie's World" in it's philosophy, "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret" in it's coming of age perspective, and "Pride & Prejudice" in it's swoon-worthy, tender, and unlikely love story. Completely sublime. I suspect I will be re-reading this in the not so distant future.

Hạnh Phúc Thật Gần Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

For many years, a desert island book. For compact style, few can match Christgau, and the consistency of his pointed judgments about music helped me define, by comparison, what matters most to me.

1926 Newbery Medal Winner A lot of reviewers point out the cultural appropriation in this book. I guess the only problem I have with it as a modern reader is the way that the material is presented as "Chinese" stories for children, and that the publisher description states that the tales embody the "wise and practical philosophy that has influenced Chinese life for thousands of years." In other words, I don't really have a problem with the fact that the author wrote these stories, just with the way that they were marketed. There is language in the publisher description like "The ability to create and tell stories was a natural part of Arthur Christman's being, which, combined with his love of Chinese folk material, has made possible these classic tales..." This passage suggests to me that the publisher is indeed stating that Christman created the tales, but it's rendered again problematic by what follows: "...strong in humor and rich in Chinese wisdom." So yeah. These aren't Chinese stories and they have nothing to do with ancient Chinese wisdom or philosophy. At most, they were written by a dude who was really interested in China, hung out with Chinese people, and enjoyed writing stories. I know. I don't like the way it was marketed either. However... the stories are really fun. They contain a lot of irony and amusing characters, and even some depictions of female characters who take on a "male" role or out-smart men (such Chai Mi in "The Rain King's Daughter" and Radiant Blossom in "Many Wives.") I also liked "The Moon Maiden," about a prince who dressed up as a princess so that he could get kidnapped by dragons and defeat them. I didn't really find anything offensive about the stories themselves except for one mention of the word "blackamoor," which is a word for a dark-skinned or African person. Another story mentioned some passing "coolies," which is apparently an offensive word for unskilled laborers in some Asian countries (it seemed to make sense in the context, though, because it was describing said unskilled laborers--it wasn't being used as an epithet. It sounds like in modern times it would be inappropriate to use even as a description, though). Some of the characters were portrayed as foolish or dumb, but those ones often ended up saving the day, and their foolishness wasn't depicted as being due to their ethnicity. I thought it was a fun read for what it is. Cultural appropriation and a sprinkling of offensive words are somewhat balanced by an attempt to insert Chinese language (not sure how accurate it is), some strong female characters, and a little cross-dressing. Not to mention water demons that get turned into rubies and trapped in a jade bottle in the titular "Shen of the Sea," come on, that was freaking cool. If I read it to kids, I would probably explain that these stories don't actually come from Chinese folklore; they are just made up. Another book might even be a better choice because of that, but I don't think this one is necessarily all bad.

Everything in its Place: Storage for Stylish Homes Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Rebecca Winward

A comprehensive history of Australia that is amazing in its intensity and depth. if you are looking for a quick, breezy read or guide book about Australia, this is not it. This book is an academic tome but is well written and fascinating in its breadth of historical detail and information. Robert Hughes is a remarkable historian as well as an accomplished art critic.

I kept wondering ..wow, how is this going to turn out , there arent many pages left !! I am now about to begin the 2nd book of the series ...you might not hear from me till its done :)

Offered such promise but was unfortunatley a let down. I read this book and expected to come away with a better understaning of voice-hearing but instead received a short history lesson on past voice-hearers such as Joan of Arc. While I appreciate the author's attempt to pull direct experiences into the book he fell short of pulling everything together into a cohesive message. The organization of the book was also frustrating. The chapters did not flow and I found it difficult to finish (it took me almost a month to finally plod through it). Yet - maybe that was the point Smith was trying to make. Voice-hearing still isn't well understood and people who experience it are often schizophrenic. If he was trying to mimic schizophrenia then job well done.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lilian Yeo

I adore Ayn Rand. I get angry. I get bewildered, I find satisfaction in small moments after chapters of frustration. I rejoice at times. This book gives me a very wide scope of emotions for the characters. I am a-little jealous of the pure strength and power of even her women. She was/is one of the strongest of the female writers I have read.
