This was my first Bellow novel, and I recommend it, though with some hesitation. I found it difficult to read because Bellow takes so many liberties in writing this book. It does not have a consistent narrative perspective, nor a coherent plot that keeps the book moving forward. It is a 350-page character study, more than it is a novel. What there is of plot follows a middle-aged man, Moses Herzog, coping with the end of his second marriage. His wife has run off with his best friend, he is a stranger to both of his children (from 2 different marriages), and he has recently given up on his work - a years-long philosophical study that has been made obsolete by a recently published volume on the same subject. So, Herzog is in full crisis mode. He is not comfortable in his own skin, his own apartment; everywhere feels tainted by association - New York, his house in the Berkshires, his old city of Chicago - and the way that he seeks to escape all this is to write crazed letters to friends, acquaintances, philosophers, anyone who suits him at that point in time (even God). Through these letters, which are often bitterly funny or downright tragic, the life of Herzog comes into focus. We cover his whole history. What makes the book so difficult to read is that there is little narrative connection from one moment to the next. Sometimes there's a 3rd-person narrator, or sometimes Herzog is talking in the first-person. Bellow jumps indiscriminantly back-and-forth, even from one sentence to the next. It is a dizzying effect and it kept me at a distance from the character for quite some time. Also, Herzog is an intellectual and he makes intellectual references & allusions which, if you get bogged down in them, could take you down all sorts of roads away from "the story." Much of the details are autobiographical from Bellow's own life, and I believe much of the discussion surrounding this book over the years lies in these tangents, and the philosophical expressions that Bellow reveals through his character. But what redeems the book, and actually makes it quite remarkable, is the last 100 pages. If I didn't have to read it for a class, I may never have gotten there, but I'm glad I did. Once a frenzied Herzog arrives in Chicago, intent on doing harm to his ex-wife & his former best friend, the novel abandons many of its distancing elements (the letters disappear, the narrative is more action-oriented), and we just focus on this man and his human relationships. The conclusions that Herzog reaches about himself and those around him are deeply moving, even to this often unfeeling reader. As a result, there will be more Bellow in my future. Augie March or Henderson the Rain King probably, which I hear are more accessible books.

This book is a tragic tale, but it really makes you think. Picoult is a great writer and you really become emotionally involved with the characters. I definitely wouldn't pick this book up if you are looking for something to lift your spirits, but it is still worth a read.

I am officially obsessed. Just try not to explain it to anyone who hasn't read the series. I tried to tell my Mom about the half-vampire baby and it just sounded like I was a bit insane. Pick this up and you won't be putting it down.

** spoiler alert ** The 4th book in the Harry Potter series is more serious and dark than the previous books. With Cedrick's death, brings a new element into the playful and slightly childish plots of the earlier books. Although this book has a different mood, I still recommend reading it!!! It's really really good.

Bought this book and read it cover to cover in one day. Easy to read and funny too. Whether you are contemplating a birthday party for a group of crazy toddlers or an elegant adult dinner party it has useful info, simple checklists and great and easy recipes to help you get from the planning stage to the party stage. It motivated me to quit talking about having that party and send out the invites. One of the suggestions is to throw a "Quesadilla Party". The author lists the simple ingredients you need and gives special hints on how to make the tortillas golden brown and crisp. I haven't thrown a quesadilla party yet but it did motivate me to go out and buy a $19 quesadilla maker and now I have a guaranteed go-to quick and easy dinner that all 4 of my kids will eat! That right there was worth the price of the book and the quesadilla maker combined!

When I picked this book up at a local tourist hot-spot in Virginia I didn't figure I would be picking up a new favorite book. The book starts out with the murder of Dylan Vogler, the manager of a coffee shop in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Fransisco. Just by knowing the setting of this book, you may be able to guess one of the themes of this book, the "victim less crime" as the author calls it. Despite having different opinions on the matter than the author, this was still a very enjoyable book. The main character is a Dismas Hardy, a SF lawyer, the story revolves around him and his struggles not only proving to the jury that his client(Maya Townsend) is innocent, but proving to him self that she is innocent. I won't go beyond that so as to not spoil the book, but I would have no problems recommending it even for people who are not fans of this genre, trust me I wasn't before I read this book.

This book was worth the read. Short, concise, and addictively interesting for me because of its inherent rarity: a renowned brain scientist narrating her own stroke and recovery. Taylor's writing is capable and made me appreciate how tenuous our grasp is on "reality".

جلد اول (تاریخ مشروطه) به وقایع استبداد صغیر، پادشاهی محمدعلی میرزا و عزل او و به سلطنت رسیدن احمدشاه، آخرین پادشاه قاجار پرداخته است. از بسیاری جهات مفصل تر از تاریخ مشروطه ی احمد کسروی ست، با وجودی که از آن استفاده ی بسیار برده. جلد دوم از اواخر دوران محمدعلی شاه (استبداد صغیر) تا ورود سپاه روس به ایران و حرکت انقلابیون تا قزوین را شامل می شود. جلد سوم از حرکت سردار اسعد از قم بطرف تهران تا تاجگذاری احمد شاه را در بر می گیرد. در چاپ دوم کتاب (1363) تغییرات و تحریفاتی صورت گرفته و گاهی از جملات و عباراتی بکلی حذف شده اند. اما ظاهرن هنوز وضعیت در مقایسه با امروز، بسیار بهتر بوده چرا که در برخی از وقایع در کتاب هایی که بعدن منتشر شده، تحریفات شرم آورتری صورت گرفته است.

Not nearly as good as his American Wife but ok.
Loved it. So different than anything I had read before - it held me captivated.
