Susu Và Gogo Đi Singapore Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Dương Thụy

God, I hated this book. I know it's considered a 'classic' in some circles, but I consider it a frigging waste of time. I'm annoyed with myself for wasting the time to read the entire thing.

just finished the lengthy but helpful introduction and am eager to start this beautiful book that has been on my "to read" shelf for too long. the one odd thing i'm having trouble with is how awkward this hefty paperback edition is to hold while reading!

Eye opening. The author doesn't let anyone off the hook including the reader and himself.

101 Truyện Cười Thiếu Nhi Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Đức Anh

If you're looking for a long enveloping read - here you go. Eugenides tells a story about three complicated generations of a Greek family. So incredibly well written it completely forces you to read on to find out what the backstory is on this family. My mother and brother were disappointed with the ending but I felt it was fitting. Totally recommend this.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhiều tác giả

this book was great fodder for my big list of reasons why i hate mary anne spier. so, mary anne takes a job babysitting for the kuhn kids. obsessive readers (& you'd have to be obsessive to even remember that the kuhns exist as characters in the babysitters club series; even in the book in which jake fell into the basement of a house under construction & was missing for three days, i was like, "who the fuck is jake kuhn?") may recall that the kuhn parents are going through a rather nasty divorce. jake is pretty bummed about being stuck in a house with all girls & not getting to see his dad very often. his best friend, buddy barrett, is in the exact same boat though--divorced parents, two little sisters. the difference is that mrs. barrett is going to be marrying franklin dewitt soon, & buddy will be getting a new stepdad & some brothers. buddy brings this all to the fore when he innocently invites jake to his mom's wedding. they have a big fight & jake confides in mary anne. mary anne thinks jake could really benefit from some kind of male rold model. she talks to logan about it & he offers to swing by some time while she is babysitting & spend some dudebro quality time with jake. mary anne agrees to this plan. logan stops by during mary anne's next sitting job. while mary anne stays inside with patsy & laurel, jake & logan hang out in the yard & play soccer. you may recall that logan is pretty athletic & jake is not so much (in one book, kristy refers to him as a "fatso," not even kidding). but jake WANTS to be athletic & is really impressed by logan's abilities & coaching tips. he's in a great mood after logan leaves & mary anne is pleased to see jake looking so happy. mrs. kuhn calls shortly for another sitter & says that jake specifically requested mary anne. soon mary anne is sitting for the kuhns pretty much around the clock, & logan stops by to play soccer with jake pretty regularly. the shit hits the fan when mrs. kuhn comes home a little earlier than expected one afternoon & discovers logan sitting in the kitchen with the kids, having a snack. she jumps to the conclusion that mary anne invited her boyfriend over--which is true, but not for the reasons mrs. kuhn thinks. jake tries to smooth things over by explaining that it's okay, logan has been over several times. mrs. kuhn is NOT pleased. mary anne wonders if she should explain that she was inviting logan over to spend quality time with jake because she felt he needed a male presence in his life (mr. kuhn has moved to texas). she decides that might sound like she's criticizing mrs. kuhn's parenting skills, so she chooses not to say anything. she just meekly goes home. neither logan nor jake say anything to help clarify the situation either. mrs. kuhn calls during the next babysitters club meeting & speaks with kristy. she expresses her displeasure at mary anne's hijinks. kristy is PISSED at mary anne for compromising the babysitters club's reputation & integrity that way. mary anne explains that it's not how it looked, but kristy is all, "it doesn't matter why logan was there. it doesn't look good to the client & you done fucked up, spier." (not an exact quote from the book.) all the other babysitters of course fall in line with chairman kristy & make mary anne feel like crap. remarkably, she manages not to cry. kind of shocking, coming from the girl who burst into tears when she found out that some of her sitting charges were going to have to give their dog away to some of her other sitting charges. all the sitters are worried about what will happen to their business once mrs. kuhn finishes telling all the parents in town that the babysitters club are a bunch of hussies who tote their boyfriends along on jobs, undoubtedly in order to better fornicate & sell crack to children. calls start to drop off & the calendar is looking pretty sparse, even though halloween is right around the corner & usually the club is swamped with jobs from parents too lazy to help their kids come up with costumes & go trick or treating this time of year. pretty much everyone silently blames mary anne. after about a week of this madness, mrs. kuhn stops by mary anne's house with jake in tow. she explains that she's been really busy & only just now had a chance to ask jake about logan coming by during sitting jobs. jake truthfully explains that logan just came by to hang out with him & play soccer, & that mary anne spent the time he was there watching patsy & laurel. mary anne confirms this & grudgingly explains that she felt jake could benefit from a male role model. mrs. kuhn couldn't agree more & is dumbfounded that mary anne didn't just come right out & explain sooner. mary anne says she was worried that it would seem like she was criticizing mrs. kuhn. mrs. kuhn disagrees & says that mary anne was being very thoughtful & generous. she apologizes for jumping to conclusions & calls logan to apologize to him too. mary anne asks how to deal with all the parents that have stopped calling the club since mrs. kuhn warned them away from the club, but of course, mrs. kuhn hasn't told anyone. the drop-off in babysitting jobs was just a coincidence. at the next meeting, calls pick right back up again. happy ending. also a story & ending that is almost 100% identical to stacey & the missing ring. sitter is accused of wrongdoing even though she is innocent, angry parent threatens to turn stoneybrook against the club, jobs stop coming in, club assumes it's accused babysitter's fault, accused babysitter feels sad & lonely, angry parents discovers truth, apologizes to accused babysitter, & explains that she never got around to making all those calls to other parents, jobs pick up again. boring. the B-plot is all about how the kids in stoneybrook want to make a haunted house for halloween. they end up splitting off into two separate groups because one group (jake, nicky pike, buddy barrett, etc) wants a funny haunted house, & the other group (haley braddock, vanessa pike, etc) wants a gross haunted house. the funny haunted house is in the kuhns basement, & the gross haunted house is at the pikes'. i think. maybe the braddocks'. anyway, both houses do well. logan helps with the funny house & alan gray helps with the gross one. it's all pretty tiresome. why this book makes me hate mary anne: she had a perfectly reasonable explanation for why logan was at the kuhns' & she didn't say anything because she feared hurting mrs. kuhn's feelings. it's nice to look out for other people's feelings, but maybe not when they're standing there calling you a whore. maybe then it's okay to offer a rational explanation for your behavior, regardless of feelings that may be hurt. she also compromised the integrity of the entire club, all because she couldn't bear MAYBE POSSIBLY hurting someone's feelings. mrs. kuhn would still be raging if jake hadn't explained the situation to her. jake probably never would have seen logan again, which would have led to far more serious hurt feelings than suggesting to mrs. kuhn that maybe her son would benefit from a male role model. jake already felt abandoned by his dad, & when logan didn't show up to his soccer game (because he & mary anne agreed it was probably best for them both to keep a distance from the kuhn family), he felt even more abandoned. that's the kind of shit people end up in therapy over. i think that's far more serious than telling mrs. kuhn something she probably already knows.

Combo Thảm Họa Tình (Bộ 2 Cuốn) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Vollmann is a genius. His books are getting expensive. Buy as many as you can before it's too late...Hookers, skinheads, hospitals, all are given sympathetic realism here. "An understudy of the underbelly," that's what I say about Mr. Vollmann. You can quote me on that. If you use it, you better quote me or I'll sue your ass and buy more Vollmann books.

Bản Sắc Thục Nữ (Tái Bản 2015) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Tiên Chanh

2.5 stars Not sure where to start. This wasn't bad, it was just hard for me to get into. I think a lot of that was because her main emotional connection (Grant) was already formed, and although I could see that they loved each other, we didn't get enough from them for me to really feel a connection. But even as early as the prologue, I found that I was having to push myself forward. It really didn't pick up for me until after page 150ish. Than it slowed down again with these weird dreamy-sorta sequence (you'll know when you read it). I was intrigued by Byron and Tracker but there wasn't enough of them to carry it for me. The Boys were probably the best part. Jack and Sarai annoyed the crap out of me, and along with them comes the convoluted plot. I had no idea what was going on most of the time. What kind of game was Blood Mamma playing? What the fuck was the deal with Ahsen? It cleared up a little at the very end... but only a little. We met a lot of new people/characters, but I don't feel like there was very much development. And what was the deal with the "I did not see her." "I did not move." "I did not go." See Jane run. See spot jump. It made the writing feel forced at times.

Nuôi Dưỡng Tâm Hồn Mở Rộng Kinh Doanh (Tái Bản 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Inamori Kazuo

I can't add anything to the review below, from "Dad". My sentiments exactly. This could have been a great book. Not well edited. "This is a very well written book with serious flaws. I cannot fathom what the point of the book is or why it's getting such good press. The author doesn't seem to understand the relationship between story and the flow of ideas. He skips over important details such as why anyone does anything they do in the story. What does all that dog training have to do with the story? And someone please explain the old woman at the grocery store. Great books, and even just good ones, use incident to more........"
