Quả Đắng Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ann Rule

And i finally finished. Another thing about the re-read, it takes quite a bit longer! But I am so immensely satisfied that I did it, and I will do it again! 2nd reading: Dec 2007-April 2008 I have been immensely enjoying that a re-read means I go way slower through the text - finding words with meaning, rather than simply being all-consumed by the plot (which is oh so fabulous, by the way) I also found my favorite chapter this time around. Cal gets the very first taste of how much his father has endured and he loves him ferociously enough to sacrifice himself to build up his brother, Aron. In my fav chapter, Adam finally wakes up from his pain long enough to realize that he doesn't know his own son. The dialogue and gripping language that ensues moves deeply in my core. Daddy issues much? :) And Steinbeck’s fascinating psychological motif, basically summed up to say that all humans have one need: love. If they are loved, they will be more willing to embrace the choice to overcome evil. If they have never been loved, they will be less able/willing to overcome their evil. In this way, Cal and his mother are set up as foils...and the reader's heart hopes so desperately for Cal. (BENJI, Steinbeck is also a hope whore!) At the core of the argument about timshol I find that I disagree with Steinbeck. I really believe our lives are destined by a greater entity and our paths are chosen for us, even more than we are willing to admit. I do not feel controlled or manipulated by my destiny, in fact, I believe that the cosmos or god (pick your term) are mysterious enough, so entirely OTHER than my human understanding, that it can weave my choices into a pre-existing destiny. I will take issue with anyone (including my beloved John) who says that man always has the ability to simply pull himself up by the bootstraps and overcome his lot in life. Many are simply not equipped to deal with their own destiny, and this is the responsibility of god. But these are my theological thoughts... That being said, Steinbeck sells his hope into the most gorgeous mini-pill of optimism and redemption that I cannot but swallow and flourish at the imbibing of his words. First Reading: Jaunary 2006 I picked up East of Eden on a friend's recommendation. I remember being surprised that it read nothing like Grapes of Wrath--no unabashed socio/political themes or propaganda. East of Eden was Steinbeck's favorite work; it also took him most of his life to complete. He takes a myriad of storylines and expertly weaves them into this novel. Steinbeck states about East of Eden: "It has everything in it I have been able to learn about my craft or profession in all these years." He further claimed: "I think everything else I have written has been, in a sense, practice for this." I really resonated with the themes he masterfully explores throughout--depravity, beneficence, love, and the struggle for acceptance, greatness, and the capacity for self-destruction, and especially of guilt and freedom. It ties these themes together with references to and many parallels with the biblical Book of Genesis.

Chị Hằng Nga Kể Chuyện - Tập 3: Chuyện Về Những Thói Hư Tật Xấu (Tặng Kèm 2 CD) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Trịnh Minh Thanh

Ross Thomas was at his best writing comic mysteries with serious undertones, and his best ones featured Artie Wu and Quincy Durant and an unusual cast of characters. I believe they appeared in one or two others in addition to "Chinaman's Chance", which remains my favorite. Thomas died in 1995; the NY Times once called him the greatest storyteller in America, and that is still true 14 years after his death, yet most of his books are out of print. They are well worth finding. Another Thomas book I recall being just terrific is called "The Seersucker Whipsaw" about two American politicos hired to win an election in a newly, er, "democratic" African country.

The Rise of Nine Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Pittacus Lore

This is an incredible true story of the horrors of being a World War II POW. It's so hard to believe that a human could survive the unbelievably harsh conditions of a Japanese POW camp, and the brutality of the sadistic soldiers. His personal physical and mental strength, as well as the strong bonds he shared with his fellow soldiers helped him survive his long ordeal. It's incredible that he was able to learn forgiveness through his faith and overcome alcoholism to become a role model for troubled youth. Hillenbrand tells his story in a compelling, hard to put down read. Louie was a true hero.

forgive me haven, i'm sure you deserve more stars than this. this book, like the stars, was way over my head. beautifully written, of course, which is why i didn't mind being very confused about what was really happening, what was fabricated 'flashback', vs. what was psychotic episode on the part of the narrator. but i think i need the cliff notes version.

Hell is other people. I liked the concept, even if the play was a bit boring. But existentialism is ultimately about embracing paradoxes and this is an interesting work when viewed in front of that backdrop.

Những Đêm Ở Rodanthe Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nicholas Sparks

Uhm, at the risk of sounding completely shallow...I don't get it. Im sure I read this in HS and had no real recollection of it. I reread it hoping that all I missed would jump out at me. Reading other's reviews made me realize that there was more to this book but it obviously did not leave that kind of impression on me. There have been other books written about boys in boarding schools. Friends who are different from each other; one who harbors a jealousy /admiration for the other one; one intellectual and one gifted with athleticism; one who worries about the future especially when a war could eliminate that future, and one who is carefree and who will land on his feet no matter what. There are other books about coming of age, standing at the point where adulthood and responsibility are just looming ahead ,when the characters realize that adults don't know everything,in fact they usually don't know much. There have been other books with more memorable characters, funnier scenarios, and deeper relationships between the characters. And there is always talk about a homosexual subtext... is that just because they are in a boy's boarding school and one character has strong feelings for the other? Because I still don't see it. Perhaps I will read it again in another 10 years.

I liked this book. OVERVIEW: Is the life you're living all you imagined? Have you ever asked yourself, "What if??" Here, four women face the decisions of their lifetimes in this stirring and unforgettable novel of love, loss, friendship, and family. Anna Geneva, a Chicago attorney coping with the death of a cherished friend, returns to her "speck on the map" hometown of Haven to finally come to terms with her mother, the man she left behind, and the road she did not take. Cami Drayton, Anna's dearest friend from high school, is coming home too, forced by circumstance to move in with her alcoholic father . . . and to confront a dark family secret. Maeve, Anna's mother, never left Haven, firmly rooted there by her sadness over her abandonment by the husband she desperately loved and the hope that someday he will return to her. And Amy Rickart—thin, beautiful, and striving for perfection—faces a future with the perfect man . . . but is haunted by the memory of what she used to be. Kristina Riggle's The Life You've Imagined takes a provocative look at the choices we make—and the courage we must have to change.
