Singapore Của Tôi: Câu Chuyện Của Một Phụ Nữ Khách Gia Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

** spoiler alert ** I have to sadly admit that A Pair of Blue Eyes--Hardy's third novel--was not as tragic as what I've come to expect in Hardy's work. In all fairness, it doesn't mean the story is not worthwhile. I still really, really liked it. The story is about Elfride (a young girl, a writer, who is in love with being in love) and she makes a couple rookie mistakes. First off, she leads on her first love interest Felix Jethrop who then eventually dies. His mother never forgives Elfride for rejecting her beloved son. His mother plays a crucial part in trying to destroy Elfride's happiness for the rest of the novel. Elfride then falls in love with young, cute Stephen Smith. Smith comes from poor parents who live in the village but is trying to work his way up in the world as an architect. Elfride's father keeps Elfride from being with him on the idea that she needed to marry up, not down. She runs away and nearly marries Stephen but decides against it at the last minute. In those days, it was quite scandalous to leave one day and return the next unsurpervised with a "lover." Mrs. Jethrop is the only person who witnesses this account. So when Harry Knight finally comes along, this time I think Elfride really is in love with him. She falls hard and loses herself in the him. I especially like the way they met--with him being a book reviewer and having written a particularly scathing review on her novel. Turns out, he's related to the woman Elfride's father marries. This novel includes the first literal "cliff hanger" when Knight falls from a cliff overlooking the ocean and is literally hanging until Elfride creates a rope out of knotting together her underclothes and pulls him to safety. I have to admit that I find these male characters who prize complete purity (and nothing else will do) in their love objects ridiculous. To me, when Knight found out about Elfride's engagement before him was almost identical to the scenario that would have played out in Tess of the d'Ubervilles had Tess told Angel about her previous life. It was interesting to see the way these similar scenarios worked out when handled differently, neither turned out how Tess or Elfride would have wanted. But what surprised me here was that the ending wasn't what I would call Hardy's typical tragedy. Elfride married and she seemed somewhat happy. Her life wasn't ruined with her being left by Knight. She married up, as her father wanted, and she was a good mother to Lord Luxellian's two small girls and he loved her dearly. Although this ending wasn't what I expected, I enjoyed reading this book.

Brandt is my neighbor and went to Brown with one of my professors/mentors. He's pretty great, and so's his book. They're making into a movie. My friend who graduated from Yale Law last year says that the portrayal of Harold Koh is right on.

James Twitchell is freaking amazing. This book, and Living it Up, were both the perfect balance of sharp insight, wit, and breeze. The fluidity with which he goes back and forth between the language of marketing, literary and cultural criticism, keeps the writing fresh and surprising. Anyone who can find a way to connect Romanticism to advertising gets my vote.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: William Faulkner

Jeg nød virkelig at læse denne bog. Man bliver klogere på USA og får et skarpere og mere nuanceret blik på både politik og mennesker over there. Den er yderst velskrevet og også Krasnik får man et bedre kendskab til gennem bogen, han sparer ikke på sig selv eller sin historie, men det tager aldrig overhånd. Det er hans oplevelser af og tanker om USA der binder de forskellige dele sammen, så det opleves som en helhed og ikke blot en række tilfældige interviews. I samtalerne med nogle af de største skribenter, det være sig forfattere eller journalister, i USA, kommer man vidt omkring. Abort, race, seksualitet, religion - alt bliver vendt på en interessant og ofte meget tankevækkende måde. Man er i voldsomt godt selskab med Krasnik.

Tôi Nghĩ Tôi Thích Nước Mỹ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Dương Thụy

I never really felt like I got into this one. The story was interesting enough, I suppose, if not terribly original. It just felt like the characters never really came alive -- they all seemed really, I dunno... cold and sterile? None of the characters grew on me, not even Elizabeth or Tegan, and Gideon was one of the more unrealistic and uninspiring foes I've encountered recently. Sure, he was bad, but we never really learned anything about him -- what made him tick, what made him bad. He was just bad. That's all we got. I think Tegan was supposed to grow on us, too, but she never really did. We didn't really get to know her well enough for her to accomplish that. She was just this character that Elizabeth told her story to. Oh well... They can't all be winners.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Anthony Doerr

Three-and-a-half stars. Very different from Marley and Me. After the first few chapters, I was convinced I would not like this book. The author has decided that this first year with her dog will be some sort of social experiment in seeing nature in a different way--through the eyes and experiences of her dog. She constantly refers to Ari as "the caninaturalist," which is a bit annoying. And boy, does she go off on tangents! When she chases after Ari in the woods and discovers her eating a deer carcass, she goes through an entire song and dance of, "Why does my animal want to eat deer guts?" "What part of the guts taste best?" and goes into a short history of people eating animals, how the organs are similar to that of humans', etc. etc. Finding a dead animal on the side of the road launches into a description of the six stages of a body decomposing, phone calls to transportation departments to ask questions about how they handle roadkill, etc. Some of these tangents are very interesting, some just exasperating, as in, "Just enjoy taking a walk with your dog!" All in all, I liked it, and found the author somewhat a likeable character.
