Trò Chơi Mê Cung - Phát Triển Trí Tuệ (Dành Cho Trẻ 6 Tuổi) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Joy Land Media

An amusing romantic comedy centered around the English nobility in London at the end of the nineteenth century. Wilde has a flair for satiric conversation and the use of one-liners. I enjoyed the movie more than the book.

New Zealand's South Island Road Trips Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lonely Planet

This book has been sitting on my shelf for a few years after I picked it up at a thrift store. I was home sick with nothing to read so I picked it up. It's totally ridiculous and so funny! I loved it. I could give it five stars, but it's pretty raunchy (not that I mind) and while well written (I thought), it just doesn't have a message. But hey, there's nothing wrong with a completely hilarious and warped book to keep oneself entertained. Turns out, a movie is being made right now based on this book with Michael Cera and Steve Buscemi. I can't wait!

The farther I got into this book, the more I loved it. It just plain felt good to read something so real and tucked into neat little karmic circles. I also felt like I came away with a better understanding of a culture I'm admittedly ignorant about.

Chị Đào Chị Lý Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hồ Biểu Chánh

Funniest twelfth-century book ever. I'm an obvious Abelard-devotee (despite being an atheist, who cares) and love him and his work to bits, but this book really is extremely underrated. It's bitter and angry, but that just makes it rather hilarious. Anyone with knowledge of all the great twelfth-century intrigues within the church and intellectual world would love this, but perhaps everyone else would as well. Give it a shot, it's very short and you've got nothing to loose. One of my all-time favourites. (For those who are unfamiliar with Abelard, he was a twelfth century theologian/philosopher with a rather tragic life. He fell in love with Heloise, whose uncle had him castrated (long story, but basically the uncle thought Abelard wouldn't marry Heloise, which he actually had, and thought that Abelard would leave Heloise alone with their child, and so the uncle got pissed off and had two men castrate Abelard. After the incident he became a monk, and Heloise a nun. They wrote many letters to each other, and those letters are perhaps the reason for their fame), he almost got lynched while being abbot in Brittany for disagreeing with his monks and he got excommunicated by the church twice, despite being a rather devoted Christian. Needless to say, he wasn't a happy bunny after all of this, and thus he wrote this "Historia Calamitatum".)

I loved these books as a kid and as an adult appreciate some of the humor even more! Bummed when Disney made it into a movie. Hated the movie!

Phép Tắc Xã Giao Trong Kinh Doanh Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Jan Yager

What a hysterical read! Hysterical doesn't even do it justice. Maybe "freakin hysterical." I was laughing out loud so many times and wanted to read so many excerpts to my hubby and he actually found some of them funny. I kept telling him he had to have read the few parts before to really get it. I feel the exact same way that Jen Lancaster does, "So clever I wish I had amnesia so I could read it again for the first time." THIS IS SO TRUE! It would be awesome (and pretty cool) if I could erase my memory of this book and start it again. Can't wait to read mroe of Caprice's books, especially "With a Little Luck." YOU GO GIRLFRIEND!

Mở Mắt Khi Hôn Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

In going through books I’ve read to add to Goodreads, I’m rediscovering some great ones. I reread this one of 42 children’s book illustrators who tell stories about their cats complete with illustrations. Although I think most of them are great my two favorites are: Diane Stanley who tells about a stray cat who has kittens in her laundry room and then moves the kittens behind the books in her bookcase, saying “Like a wise mother, she just thought an early exposure to books would be good for them” The illustration is priceless. And Tom Wharton who discovered his cat Rosebud reads because she began sitting on whatever he was reading. To be able to read in peace, he starting choosing obvious books for her like “Puss in Boots” and “Moby Dick,” but then learned she’ll read anything. He ends with: “For the past year and a half, she’s been reading ‘Gone with the Wind.’ It sits open on a chair near the radiator so she can read whenever she’s in the mood. Every few days I turn the page for her.” Each page of this book is as varied as the artists and their cats, and all are delightful. I love this book!

Tập Đồ - Tập Viết Chữ Cái (23) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

By the end of this book I was crying. I just want to start with that and get it cleared out of the way. It wasn't just a sniff and the threat of tears, I had actual tears running down my face and snot streaming out of my nose. I was leaking enough that I actually had to put the book down and go grab some tissues. This book is very emotional, not just with how it makes the reader feel, but with how it's written. There was something unique about Oates writing that reflected a purely emotional connection. The way sentences and phrases were repeated was reminescent of the speech of someone in a highly emotional state. It reminded me of when I am very angry or upset and am trying to convey something towards the source of my anger/sadness/passion and I feel the need to repeat what I find so important, even if it's really a minor issue. That was how Oates writing felt a lot of the times. It's probably why I found myself getting upset, frustrated, curious, or sad, because she wrote in a way to help push those emotions to the front. Of course the subject matter really increased my emotions. The things this family went through and how they dealt with is enough to break your heart just hearing about it, let alone suddenly becoming very involved. All the characters are sympathetic, even Michael Sr., who is pretty easy to hate. Everyone we encounter is flawed and real and that makes you feel for them so much more. Of course the one you feel for the most is Marianne, the true victim in all of this. Yet, somehow she manages to move on with her life and become the strongest of all the Mulvaneys. She's filled with hope and love and the fact she maintains that after her rape and then the odd rejection of her family is truly amazing. The last part of the book and the ending was very bittersweet. As much as you want to be happy you can't help feeling something is just not letting you achieve that. It's probably the same thing the Mulvaneys are feeling by the end. Somehow we've become the Mulvaneys by just a few chapters into the book, so truly whatever they're feeling, you're now feeling. That just got you all the more involved in the book, because of course you want to know everything that happens and why. It also makes the book that much harder to put down. I've read Foxfire and want to reread it now, but I remember it's tone and style being extremely different from We Were the Mulvaneys. I haven't read any of Oates other works, though. Do they all vary from each other? Do they live up to the greatness of We Were the Mulvaneys? Should I try out her other works, or am I just destined to be disappointed after this book? I would love to hear your opinions on Oates other works as well as what you thought of We Were the Mulvaneys. Did y'all enjoy it as much as I did and have it affect you like it did me? Please share. To sum it all up, I think the Los Angeles Times Book Review says it best: "Will break your heart, heal it, then break it again."

Đột Phá - Hành Trình Thay Đổi Thế Giới Của Một Thần Đồng Khoa Học Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Jack Andraka

Palabras hábiles, precisas y un humor siempre seco que trazan los contornos de un fantástico incrustado en lo cotidiano, partes iguales de Gogol y Borges, pero con una densidad filosófica, incluso metafísica, que puede superar cualquiera de los dos. Tan genial y muy original, especialmente por su tiempo y lugar (Rusia estalinista). Tanto es así que Krzhizhanovsky ni siquiera intentó publicar estas historias muy no socialistas realistas, y languidecieron en una bóveda hasta los años 70. Afortunadamente sobrevivieron y están comenzando a traducirse. Emocionantemente, estas son solo siete de sus cien historias y novelas (y aparentemente también hay un puñado de novelas). Jesse ya ha escrito mucho más sobre esto, por lo que diferiré la descripción de su revisión.
