Tây Du Ký - Tập 5: Đại Chiến Hồng Hà Nhi Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Yow Fu

I bought this book for self-education purposes. I expected it to be lousy or new-agey or preachy. In fact, it was intelligent, articulate, amusing and extremely well-written and fast-paced. Far superior to the books he'd read on his journey.

Finished! What a disappointment. This book, like "Triangle," had so much promise and just failed to deliver. The premise, that a diary was found in a modern day dumpster, chronicling the life of a young girl coming of age in the late 1920s/early 30s in New York, was excellent. Unfortunately, author Lily Koppel's writing was just lame. Unimaginative and choppy, she types in Florence's journal entries, but nothing more. She just never creates a world or character to captivate the reader. The only reason I stuck with this one was because it was for my next book club. One part I did enjoy was the early description of the contents of the steamer trunks that were in the dumpster where the discarded diary was found--Lucite handbag, Grace Kelly evening bag, the flapper dress, etc. I had just been going through a box full of vintage hats and gloves for a display case, so this part resonated. One interesting thing I noticed about the vintage evening gloves--women's hands used to be much smaller! My hands are pretty small and I could not even squeeze into most of the gloves. The lack of compelling descriptive writing also disturbed me. When Lily meets a private detective near the end of the book, she doesn't even bother to describe his appearance. I guess the photo is supposed to satisfy us. I found so many such instances where there were gaping holes. Florence ends up married but we are never told the details, which actually might have been interesting. Florence, a young Jewish girl, travels to Europe before WWII. She is befriended by two Germans who tell her she's the perfect Aryan woman. She hides her Jewishness. She hangs out with people who protest America's involvement in the war. Koppel never bothers to ask her how she felt about this later in her life. She does, however, spend a lot of time describing Florence's outfits and romantic liaisons. I think part of the problem is that Koppel identifies so closely with her subject. She takes obvious pride in being told that she and Florence look alike and that Florence was considered a beauty. Koppel loves to relate how fabulous her legs are and write about her glorious red hair. Maybe if she hadn't become so enamored with Florence (she feels like her granddaughter), she would have asked some deeper questions, interviewed Florence's brother, Irving, and talked to her about whether she regretted leading such a selfish life when she was so privileged. Recently, I was talking with someone who was young during the Great Depression and she said that nobody could afford to do anything back then. According to her, everybody was affected. While Florence touches on the Wall Street Crash and her father losing everything, it didn't seem to slow her down. Her main regret seems to be the loss of her snakeskin coat in a fire when her childhood home burned down. I'm currently reading Katharine Graham's autobiography and the difference between these women is just night and day. Graham can actually write, for one thing, and draws the reader in, making the characters come to life. Although her mother was quite narcissistic and similar in many ways to Florence, Graham gives her dimension and adds humor. The book is not merely a listing of events. The Red Leather Diary was found in a dumpster. I'd like to put my copy of the book back there.

This books is pretty much the Perfect Storm for me. I knew some of the real people in the book because I was lucky enough to grow up on Long Island during the 1960s; I collected comic books from 1959 on, and Chabon writes so well that none of that matters, the book is that damned good. Read it!

Những Mảng Màu Cuộc Sống Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Điền Yên

This book changed my life. When I first read it, I felt like my life was on the page. I first read it over 15 years ago when I was a teen ager. As I grow, I see myself in the book, in the stages presented as parallels to the life of the Buddha. I expect that I will find more of myself as I grow and enter different parts of my life. It asks, and answers, universal questions. The book is a about a boy whose life mirrors that of the Buddha. But he is not the Enlightened One. He undergoes the tribulations of life, with its austerities, its pleasant comforts, its loves, and its despair, all represented by his journeys. He ends his days as a ferryman, a man whose whole life is of humble service, even though his potential was great, almost supernatural. But in the end, it is not the Enlightenment of the Buddha he realizes, but rather a wisdom accessible to those of us who are mortal.

Kì Quặc Để Tự Tin Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Like the other books in this series, this book deals with serious issues: anti-Semitism, poverty, domestic violence, socialism. Sally and her illegitimate daughter are victims of a conspiracy that, when it is resolved, ties up loose ends left from the first book and Sally's past. The setting is a fascinating depiction of Victorian London.

I can't remember if this is a 4 star of 5 and so until I re-read them, this is what you get. What I can tell you is that the Character Agent Pendergast is a lot of fun because he is different and interesting. Oh, I'm also putting these on here because I just talked to Grandma and said I would put these down in case she hasen't read them because they are pretty good. Of course, I told her my kids were entertained at the moment so now would be a good time. Grandma being a mother of a few kids, "that will change as soon as you sit down." She was right, here's little Cole baby.

This book scared the heck out of me from joining my parent's church in Washington, DC. So..it took me almost 20 years to get the courage to join a church and I did last year at Abyssinian Baptist Church. I was not even raised Baptist but Methodist .. however, I do not see much of a difference. Great read!

Oh, I am forever spoiled by this book. I looked up words I didn't know, I hung on plot developments with baited breath, I wept with each tragedy, and I loved the romantic story between Jamie and Claire as if it were my own. I don't know much about the historical accuracy, and often do not care for historical romances as such, but this book captured me. It reminded me of first love, and for that, I am grateful. I WILL read the next book, but not before I go back and re-read this first installment. I can't really imagine that there are 8 other books in this series, but like a good wine, this is to be savored, not devoured.
