While Kathleen Brady's outstanding "Lucille: The Life of Lucille Ball" (1994) is still the benchmark for biographies on the red-headed comedienne who ruled the TV airwaves from 1951 through 1974, this slighter memoir, focusing on the last decade of her life, is still a treat for fans who continue to love Lucy. Lee Tannen, a distant relative through marriage, befriended Ball (1911-1989) during the last decade of her life. By this time, Ball was spending most days playing backgammon and confining professional appearances mostly to yearly Bob Hope specials. Whereas Jim Brochu's "Lucy in the Afternoon" (1990) covered the same ground, Brochu pulled memories from Ball as they toiled over the backgammon table, creating an oral history of her professional and private life. Tannen's portrait of Ball is less reflective on the past, instead concentrating on her frustration at being denied one of the great joys of her life her work because of bad health and poor decisions. Gary Morton is presented as an absentee husband (when not golfing, he's in his study on the phone with friends). His bad career advice leads Ball into two late-in-life disasters: a TV movie (1985's "Stone Pillow"), which ruined her health, and the poorly conceived TV series "Life with Lucy" (1986), which, when canceled, convinced her that she no longer had a career or fans who wanted to see her. Tannen believes that this led Lucy to lose enthusiasm for life. This affectionate and intimate but by no means rose-colored portrait presents Ball as a demanding taskmaster at a loss during her twilight years. Fans won't learn much new here, but it's still a worthwhile visit.

Ước Hẹn Phù Hoa - Tập 2 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lam Bạch Sắc

This book is set in 1962 in the south and shows how rampant racism was even then through the eyes of an African American girl and her wonderful family. I'm very much enjoying it, perhaps because I was about the age of the main character then but had no idea what racism was, so it's like learning what history was going on around my little bubble.

This took me forever to read - it never really hooked me. But I liked parts of it, especially the main character's fascination with figure skating.

Very popular with one of my storytime boys. He kept pointing out which kind of machine was working. And it's great to have a short, simple book to read in baby storytime that isn't about farm animals.

Đồng Dao Việt Nam - Tái bản 12/12/2012 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Đặng Anh Tú

In the early 1930s, Stark, a single British woman, traveled through southern Arabia alone, visiting country that few other Europeans had seen, particularly few women. This might sound incredibly dangerous, and it probably was, but Stark was helped along by her passion for Arabic history and her genuine interest in the people she met (as well as near fluency in Arabic, as far as I can tell), as well as her poise, charm, humor, and sense of adventure. She befriends bedouins and sheiks alike, as well as their women (with the women she tends to rely on a natural love of fashion, which endears her to just about every harem she encounters, and she often comes away with gifts of beautiful clothes). Unfortunately, Stark's travels are beset by illness: she comes down with the measles, and though she recovers, she's later struck with heart troubles and has to be rescued by the R.A.F. Her biggest concern is the fact that she won't be the first European to explore the ruined city she wants to get to. She has more fortitude than many travel writers I've read (but she still travels with face cream!). I should admit that this was a difficult book to get through, and it took me a few weeks. I think this is because the language is so rich, and because it is true travel writing: not just the story of one person's journey, but a real picture of a place and a time and the people who lived there and how they lived. It's all the richer for that. I highly, highly recommend Freya Stark, and I'm looking forward to finding more of her work soon.

This is Harry Potter for big people. Even though Harry Potter is also for big people. This is a book about the history of magic in Britain, taking place roughly around the time of the Napoleanic Wars. It's a little sinister, has some great sort of legends woven in, is beautifully written and imagined, and I read all thousand or so pages of it in about three days, and picked it up from the beginning and re-read the whole thing again as soon as I was done. As my dear friend Em Wilson said, "I wish I'd never read it, so I could read it all over again for the first time." It's fabulous.

Loved the characters (both existing and newly-added). I found the time line difficult to follow initially. Made sense later in the book. Too much time spent in England.
