Phiêu Lưu Ký Của Thuyền Trưởng Quần Lót - Tiểu Thuyết Thứ Nhất (Tái Bản 2015) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Dav Pilkey

A great book! Considering I am not one to read about science, it should tell you something that I found this book fascinating. The author tells the story of the life of Henrietta Lacks, and how doctors took a sample of her cancerous cells which ended up growing continuously (and still are), turning into the vehicle for decades of scientific research. She explains the scientific and medical details, but written in such a way that the lay person can understand (at least the main points). What I really loved was getting a full sense of what Henrietta herself was like, and understanding what her family went through. It brings up so many issues of medical ethics, privacy rules, and many other subjects, but the book is not dry or boring at all. I'm not doing it justice, but I think this deserves a lot of the praise it has been getting over the past year or so.

Sống Xanh - Ruộng Lúa Nhà Bác Để-Tự-Nhiên Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Jo Hyun Jin

A little bit of a mental masturbation, but after powering through the first 150 pages or so (and it does require some powering through) you get totally sucked into the world of the Incandenzas, their metaphysical tennis academy world, and eventually, even the mathematics heavy footnotes start seeming funny. But you feel so proud after you finish it, you sort of just want to start at it again. Warning: do not read while in bed, as it is very, very, very heavy and there is a distinct risk of suffocation if you fall asleep with it on top of your head.

Gaiman being one of my personal literary gods makes it only reasonable that he would author this fictional (yet analytical) story about the fate of Old Gods in the New World.

Cõng Nhau Trong Một Cõi Người (Tái Bản 2016) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hoàng Công Danh

1. In Chapter VI, Machiavelli explains that the “temper of the multitude” is “fickle”. This means, the people or governed state of citizens, have a ‘temper’ or personality that is easily changeable. Like the attention span of a small child, it is easy to ‘show them a thing’ but difficult to get them to commit their focus to that specific ‘persuasion’. 2. In Chapter III, Machiavelli explains that there are the “well-employed” cruelties and also the “ill-employed”. Well-employed cruelties are down under needs of “self-preservation” and not “persisted” in, afterwards. The ill-employed cruelties “increase in time” instead of diminishing and grow worse out of control from themselves and the one who inflicted them. 3. In Chapter XV, it is said that a good prince must learn to be less than good. A prince should learn to be less than good so that he may use his goodness or lack of in order to maintain “his position” in government. 4. Chapter XVII, Machiavelli asks a very important question, “Is it better for a prince to be feared or love?”, and he reasons that it is “feared” because men are so unreliable and false, that any style of loyalty can change and be unreliable. If it be love, then trust is solely in the hands of the possible offender. If it be fear, then the offender will always fear the consequences of his disloyalty, and since we are selfish creatures, we would naturally be more inclined to follow a leader we feared. 5. Chapter XVIII explains that a prince must be a lion and a fox. a.) A lion cannot guard himself from “toils” because it isn’t so good at discerning the answers to difficulties. A lion is good at “driving off the wolves”, however. A ruler may drive off the wolves, which could be greedy politicians or pushy governors. b.) A fox cannot guard himself from the wolves and so may often become overwhelmed or bullied, by his people, fellow politicians and counselors. A fox can, however, dissect situations and come out with a very crafty plan, as is the mythology of the animal. Fox are survivors, which is an imperative quality to a ruler. One who can “play the fox” has been known to reap “success”. c.) A ruler should have all the good qualities Machiavelli talks about because so much of it is true and, though harsh at times, very smart. A ruler must survive; reach for the best decision, while ignoring misleaders and ignorance. d.) A ruler may dishonor his word when his confidante has also dishonored his word in order to protect himself or his interests. 6. Chapter XIX explains that a prince can avoid internal conspiracies by observing behavior and watching to see whether or not they are “disposed towards him” or “hostile”. A Prince must make himself seem great, but never “odious” to his people. 7. Chapter XXI says that if “two powerful neighbors come to blows”, then a prince should join in with one side or the other because the victor will not trust you and the loser will not join you if the victor decided to attack you next. 8. A prince should elicit advice from his followers by choosing a selected few men to speak with him alone on matters of which he asks their opinion. A prince must let his followers “speak freely” on everything however, and “merely reflect and judge” it henceforth in his own. 9. In Chapter XXV, Machiavelli compares Fortune to a woman because she is in need to be “mastered” and “roughly handled” in order to be controlled at the whims of men. Fortune, like a woman, favors the young as well because they are “fiercer and more demanding”.

Brilliant writing gives these characters incredible depth. This American family from the Midwest will often feel all too familiar to some. The prose may make it difficult for some to become engrossed early on, but words will take on beautifully significant meanings by the end. This is one book you should sit back, take your time, think about, and enjoy.

Possibly one of the most beautiful books out there. I think some people might have trouble with the African-American Southern (Florida) dialect, but Hurston's characters are so rich and flawed, her descriptions so magical, a Reader will just fall into the book. DO NOT watch the made-for-TV movie before you read this book!

Great start to a new series. I wasn't sure if I would like reading from Sydney's POV but it's great to get her insite and to get to know her better. I caught on to a few things pretty early on in the book, but was still caught by suprise with a few more. I'm exited and am looking foward to see where the sereies continues. If you loved Vampire Academy you need to read Bloodlines.

A very iteresting persepctive of the whole social and cultural impact of a cencored society. Great to see how we, as humans, can adapt given a certain situation.

Truyện Cổ Tích Hay Nhất Thế Giới Mẹ Kể Con Nghe (Bìa Cứng) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Overall this book was a really great read. It reminded me very much of the coming-of-age tales I used to read loads of in my early 20s, but it also very much reminded me of books I read as a pre-teen and teenager as well, especially because of the horse theme, not that it's all about that. Far from it! It's actually a lot darker than that. I think the only reason I can't give it 5 stars as it doesn't leave me with that 'wow, this book changed my life' or stayed-with-me feeling, but it certainly wasn't a waste of time to read! In fact, it was quite hard to put down at times, but light enough too to pick up and put down often, which of course is my usual fashion of reading these days with two young children! Anyway, would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys stories about girls growing up in America.

Mom Rules: Notes on Motherhood, the World’s Best Job Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Michael Milligan

I got this because Harold Bloom chose it for his Western Canon, but I've realized that he loves everything except for Howl, Naked Lunch, and On the Road. I dig the title, dig the blurb on the back cover (Free Women, Bohemia, Revolution), dig Lessing's introduction, but after a few pages I was bored out of my mind and I skipped around a bit but could not steel myself to endure this endless text where characters endlessly embroider their obvious ideas. Does anybody really talk like this? Unlike Bloom I would rather share a car with Dean Moriarty and Sal Paradise for a month than spend even another minute in a bedroom with Anna and Saul.
