I really enjoyed this book. He does advocate barefoot shoes, which I'm still on the fence about, but I love what he says about the joy of running and the poetry of it.

Penso Quindi Gioco - Tôi Tư Duy, Là Tôi Chơi Bóng Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Alessandro Alciato

Like all Terry Pratchett's other Diskworld books, Eric is a lampoon of the fantasy genre, full of parodies, ironic juxtapositions, puns, and good old fashioned jokes. Only this time Pratchett sets his sights at slightly more lofty literary targets, as Eric is largely a parody of Faust, Dante's The Inferno, and Homer's The Iliad. But don't worry, there's plenty of dumb fun, too. The dumb fun in question starts when the perpetually ineffective wizard Rincewind is accidentally summoned from the netherworld by a 13-year old amateur demon summoner named Eric. Unconvinced that Rincewind is a victim of circumstance, Eric takes the wizard for a real demon and demands that he grant the three traditional wishes: to rule the world, to meet the most beautiful woman in history, and to live forever. Rincewind balks at first, but is quickly surprised to learn that he DOES have the power to grant Eric's three wishes, albeit with unanticipated and rather ironic consequences. The source of Rincewind's new powers and the attention it generates from Hell's newly installed leader are unveiled through the book as Rincewind and Eric visit parodies of ancient Peru, the Trojan War, and Hell itself. Not really sure what else to say about the book; it's classic Rincewind madcap, with the terrified wizard (or "WIZZARD" if the sequened letters on his hat are to be believed) going from one predicament to another and doing his best to keep alive and often being successful at it. It's not as tightly plotted as Guards! Guards!, but I've come to recognize the Rincewind books as largely just a chance for Pratchett to go nuts with his imagination and focus more on literary lampoons than social satire. Personally, I love it. And as usual, it's full of great quotes: "You always knew where you stood with Quiezovercoatl. It was generally with a lot of people on top of a great stepped pyramid with someone in an elegant feathered headdress chipping an exquisite obsidian knife for your very own personal use." "The Tezuman Empire in the jungle valleys of central Klatch is known for it organic market gardens, its exquisite craftsmanship in obsidian, feathers and jade, and its mass human sacrifices in honor of Quezovorcoatl, the Feathered Boa, god of mass human sacrifices." RINCEWIND: The Tezuman priests have a sophisticated calendar and an advanced horology ERIC: Ah, good. RINCEWIND (patiently): No, it means time measurement. ERIC: Oh. "These people were not only cheering, they were throwing flowers and hats. The hats were made of stone, but the thought was there." "The consensus seemed to be that if really large numbers of men were sent to storm the mountain, then enough might survive the rocks to take the citadel. This is essentially the basis of all military thinking. "Any wizard bright enough to survive for five minutes was also bright enough to realize that if there was any power in demonology, then it lay with the demons. Using it for your own purposes would be like trying to beat mice to death with a rattlesnake." RINCEWIND: There's a door. ERIC: Where does it go? RINCEWIND: It stays where it is, I think.

This book is awesome! Tells you everything you need to know about starting a garden using very little space or work. He also tells you how to use his special soil so you don't have to worry about tilling or fertilizer. These square foot gardens were already at our house when we bought it, and I am so excited to start planting in a few weeks. Everyone who wants to garden should read this book!

First sentence: "He found the body on the forty-third day of his walk." After being amazingly annoyed at Elizabeth George for murdering one of my favortie characters in this series.. and then she made it worse by spending her next book detailing the life of the young rascal who was responsible. This book is back 'on track.' Things will never be the same without Helen. But Tommy sounds like he will heal.

Có Những Ngày Hạnh Phúc Chừa Tôi Ra Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ái Kỳ

This book isn't out yet -- I got an advanced reader's copy from my mom, who's in publishing -- but when it comes out you should read it! It's a fascinating, often hilarious story about the author's time living in rural China while working for Peace Corps. The title is misleading: Levy doesn't even try to keep kosher in China (although he is initially resistent to eating millipedes and dog meat). There are some amusing exchanges about food, though (which I won't give away), and lots of interesting insights into what (poor, rural) Chinese people think of Jews and Americans in general, as well as of themselves. Maybe there should have been more reflection on the crazy things Americans think about Chinese people, but you don't have to go to China to find out about that.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Thị Diệu Thảo

I have read this book at least once every two or three years since I got it when I was a kid; I love it! It's about a girl from Vermont who goes to work in the mills in Massachusetts to raise money to save her family's farm. There is so much weighing on this little girl's shoulders and she handles it all beautifully - from learning to read to fending off the advances of a male overseer.

Sức Khỏe Sinh Sản, Sức Khỏe Tình Dục - Những Hiểu Biết Cần Thiết Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: BS. Đào Xuân Dũng

Simple and evocative, If I Stay is short and emotional. It was refreshing to read such a tidy little novel. There's not much here - a tragic car accident, music, and if one teenager should stay and fight, or go. Yet it works. The prose is fairly sparse, but the characters are etched realistically and distinctly.

Wow. The last too Child novels...frankly, weren't very good. The writing and details that make his earlier novels enjoyable simply weren't there anywhere, and it it's place was convoluted endings - a la James Rollins or National Treasure. Here we get back to a thrilling plot, Reacher noting detail after detail.
