Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Mai Lan Hương & Nguyễn Thanh Loan

[This review was originally posted on my blog.] Valle de la Virgen is a quaint little town in the middle of nowhere. The majority of its inhabitants is quite content with their lot, and the few who dream of bigger things leave for the city. Ernesto, eldest son of Doña Nicanora and troublemaker pur sang, is one of the latter. With luck as bad as his late father's, he soon cuts his losses to return home with a shabby pick-up truck and a grubby foreigner to show for his efforts. To his exasperated mother's relief, doctor Arturo takes him on as an assistant and as a companion, because no other villager feels inclined to seek out his medical expertise. The town-dwellers are so used to their own customs and routines that any impending change feels like a threat. So they visit medicine doctors when illness strikes and the men seek out Don Bosco's barbershop for a daily shave and chat. Yet ironically, the traveling market is utterly unpredictable, driving the poor city doctor to distraction. The Gringito, whom I secretly suspect to be a North-American yogi, is the pebble that disturbs the surface of quiet backwater Valle de la Virgen. With the money he pays for lodging and meals, Nicanora starts to dream once more of opening a hat shop... and there the trouble begins. The misinterpretation of a well-meant suggestion leads to havoc and interestingly improvised solutions. The book acts like a magnifying lens, so that the reader can discover for himself how remarkably normal these remote village-dwelling people are. They are nothing like the "dirty, uneducated peasants" that urbanites accuse them of being. Nor are they the "oppressed yearning for a(nother) revolution", as romanticised by the People's Liberation Front. Doña Nicanora's Hat Shop is a delicious, rib-tickling, wistful romp of a novel that cheered me up while the incessant rain was busy ruining my summer break. The colourful villagers touched me with their antics and were a gentle reminder of how life is always precious no matter who we are and where we live.

A woman, Mama Inez sets out to invite eleven people to tell their stories in order to set the world in balance. The power of their storytelling will surely set things right. Each story is told in the POV of each of the tellers. The tales are those readers will recognize such as Cinderella but told with a twist. :) Now, Penny Blubaugh..that girl can write! Meet the tellers: A Lizard turned into a man by a fairy godmother in order to take a girl to a ball. The Lizard's story just broke my heart, poor guy. :( Clarisse and Renata, two sisters who find a dying mer man. John who buys magic beans from a guy named Jack. Earl and Naddie, twin brother and sister elves, who at the age of 15 help a shoe maker out. Maisie who at the age of 18 has to save a special someone from the clutches of an evil Elf Queen. :) B.J, Wink and Nodia, this trio races on a flying boat. Zola, a prince who's parents only want him to find his princess so they can get an heir, but Zola is not looking for a princess, he's looking for a prince. Sue who only wants to ride a the horse of a mysterious stranger who rode the firework. Rosie, who wearing her bright read scarf travels through the woods in order to get to her grandmother, Mama Inez's house but the journey gets dangerous. At first I just wasn't sure what to make of this book just by having read the back cover. I mean, I was not expecting anything like this. The book completely blew me away! I loved it! Each story was told in such an incredible way and I just couldn't help but be awed by it all. The way Blubaugh describes things is amazing. :D My favorite story is the Lizard's. It just broke my heart. Poor guy, I still can't get over that, it was just sooo sad! I loved pretty much everything about this book, but two things. I didn't like how sometimes the stories within the story where slow. I also didn't like how the author does not really go into detail about how the world is being put back to normal. Overall it's a beautiful read so I don't mind too much. :)

The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged are two of my favorite books, but I have to say that I prefer The Fountainhead simply because it expresses the same ideas in a less repetitive way (though let's be honest, those of us who have read Atlas Shrugged will never, ever forget the phrase "Who is John Galt"). Though the concepts here would not seemingly work on a large political scale, the ideas behind this book have definitely changed the way I see the world and make decisions in my everyday life. Without a doubt, both the Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged have had larger influences on my everyday life than any other books I've ever read and I would recommend them to anyone with an interst and/or disgust with the way the government is currently run. It provides a very interesting insight into a way of living and thinking that, once you read the book, just seems so simple and obvious.

CAD Trong Điện - Điện Tử: Vi Điều Khiển Và Ứng Dụng Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lê Ngọc Bích - Phạm Quang Huy

Light, fluffy and very interesting - much like Ms Francis. She admits to mostly leading a charmed life and the book overflows with the bubbly feeling of that. With her life in the theatre, movies and television she had met most of the big names of the 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's. There are some fun stories, some poignant stories but overall it was a story of the life of a very popular star who wasn't a superstar but was well loved.

This was the BEST book of all of them I believe I really wish they would have made a movie out of it instead of The Queen of the Damned but you know how that goes alot of it was internal dialog and alot of stuff you could not recreate even with modern technology. But definitely the best.
