Trên Cả Lí Thuyết - Những Bài Học Kinh Doanh Steve Jobs Để Lại Cho Thế Giới Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Annie, we need to talk. First of all, why do you keep telling the same stories and quips over and over, repeating yourself like a demented party guest? Remember Jesus drinking gin straight out of the cat dish? Let's get back to that type of hilarious creativity. But let us never speak of Jesus as a 13 year old punk again. It was funny the first time in Plan B. When you brought it up in this very next book, verbatim, I physically cringed. Also, nature is lovely and healing and all, but I got bored the third time you embarked on a cleansing hike in this book. Even moreso when you continued to describe such walks in minute, stultifying detail for the remainder of the essays. Have you forgotten how to find God in the city? Or just how to write on more than one theme? I don't know - maybe I'm just not that outdoorsy. I ask all this out of love, because you can do so much better. This is evident in the final section of the book, where you write so lovingly and compellingly about Sam as a teenager. "Samwheel," in particular, is heart-wrenching in all the right ways. To my surprise, I even liked the stuff about your relationship with your mom, which could quickly have gone the way of the aforementioned nature hikes. But it turns out that describing the slip and grip of grace in everyday relationships is still your strongest suit, whether those relationships are with the physical world and its institutions, the life of the spirit, or with those around you. The way you talk about people and their quirks is as astonishing as ever, and I mean that in a good way. I'll keep hanging onto that until your next book, Annie. For all of our sakes, I'm hoping it's a novel. Kate

Học Sinh Chân Kinh - Tập 18: Thầm Nhưng Không Kín Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: B.R.O

The Professor and the Madman focused on two men who were strongly involved in the editing of the OED: James Murray (the professor) and Dr. William Chester Minor (the madman). The vast undertaking of creating the OED simply amazed me. Before 1857 (when the idea was first suggested), there was no all-encompassing English dictionary. Or at least, not a dictionary like we think of today. The OED editors set out to catalog, define, provide illustrative quotations, and track the word's history through written history from its first use until the current day. Every. Single. Word. Wow. They had thousands of volunteers read through books, write down words (any words), illustrative quotations, where the quotation was found, page number, and send in the slip of paper to the Scriptorium that Murray had set up in Oxford. The Scriptorium might sound impressive but really it was just a corrugated metal structure full of paper. Can you even imagine the scraps of paper everywhere? How would anything ever get done or even found? It was very interesting to watch the friendship between Minor and Murray develop. They corresponded for years and Murray visited Minor frequently in Broadmore (a lunatic asylum in England). I also found it fascinating to learn more about the editing of the massive dictionary. The only problem I had with the book was that the author, Simon Winchester, did not have a bibliography in the back of the book. True, he mentioned other books people could read to learn more and talked about some of the books he read. But, to a historian like me, that is not good enough. I want to see all of the documents he used. The letters, the journals, the books, the interviews. Everything. Still, I greatly enjoyed the work and would highly recommend it.

Lớp Học Mật Ngữ - Tập 6 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

It was quite interesting to read this book right after reading Herodotus' Histories. Herodotus wrote a rambling, "town gossip" type book, wheras Thucydides sounded like a historian. He was much more matter of fact, and "In the summer, Sparta took this action, and Athens did this" throughout the book. It was LONG - over 600 pages, but interesting. Rex Warner's translation is highly readable. This is # 9 of 133 books in Clifton Fadiman's The New Lifetime Reading Plan.

Cuộc Đời Chim Sẻ - Tập 3: Không Bao Giờ Từ Bỏ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Kiến Văn

My sister recommended that I read this book. Right before I started it, I came across quite a bit of the criticism of the book and the film it was made into. I'd be lying if I said that the criticism didn't jade my reading somewhat. I wasn't around during the Civil Rights movement, nor am I a black woman, so it can be hard to judge some of the criticism that the book has received. However, I agree that in some ways, the book is too rosy. It was also a bit predictable and in some places felt drawn out. Still, as long as you're not counting on The Help to be historically accurate, it's a pretty quick read and really isn't a bad book at all.

Hát Tiễn Hoa Đào, Chờ Người Quay Lại - Tập 1 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Anybody that can write thoughts and feelings in the 1950s that are totally relevant today is an excellent writer. This is my sister, Katie's, favorite book...and I didn't get it in High School, but now I get why she loves it. My book club loved it too!

Vì Vợ Là Vợ Anh Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lan Rùa

Funny ridiculous. I read this at a time when my cashflow to debt ratio wasn't as healthy as it might have been. I picked up the book 1) because it was pink, 2) because it had summer readability potential and 3) because, perhaps, I was crying out... silently, and ironically, through the purchase of yet another thing. Not only does Becky spend uncontrollably, but she seems to be fine with the drama it causes. Read this book if nothing else for the restrained bank letters to Becky that Kinsella executes ever-so-masterfully.

This book was really slow for me. The only part I found interesting was the victim's novelized version of the events in Vietnam. I won't read this author again.

Rừng Đêm Xào Xạc Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Đoàn Giỏi

It took me a good chunk of time to get through this relativly slim book. When Ondaatje's prose works, especially when he's describing Kip dismantling bombs (really the best moments of the book, IMO), it's substantial. But the rest of the time it's too weighty, too aggrandizing in its poetry. Kip's reaction to the end of the war also felt artificial, as if the author was no longer letting the character speak for himself, but putting his own modern feelings into him. Had moments of interest but I'd encourage others to pass on this one.

Read this book like 5 times for various classes. It is great to talk about, but I don't really like the book. House of Mirth was better. Newland always seems like such a tool

This was a love story that was about first love but yet I wasn't keen on the language that was used or anything like that. There were some parts that were graphic but nothing more that you hear in music and Television.

Những Tấm Lòng Cao Cả Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

The story is wonderful .... I do not imagine how many Muslims in Granada suffered at the hands of the Castilians. The story may lack some description of the places ... but the characters continue throughout the ages in the novel and describe the most accurate feelings of injustice and humiliation. Is the reality of what we are living now from indifference to what Muslims suffer in Syria ?? Is time going back ????
