Okay, there were some funny moments but it's mostly facile. All the whinging against the French grates after a while...

Những Bà Mối Tí Hon Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Janet Dailey

Unlike many Christian books this was a joy to read. I feel very inspired after reading it and foresee this as a book I will revisit every 2 years or so to get inspiration. I really love how the author confesses his sin and weakness as a means to encourage his readers to better followers of Jesus. I read this book as part of my Lent commitment, an it couldn't have come at a better time. This a must read for any Christian who has ever struggled...so basically every Christian. But I also believe it would be valuable for nonbelievers to read as well to better understand Christianity without religion.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Điển Dũng

I got a really old edition from the library. It was kind of awesome because the price at the time was 50 cents and that just happened to be exactly what the library was charging for (most) paperbacks. Also, it looks old-tastic. It's a "scholastic library edition," and since there are like eighty billion editions of Pride and Prejudice on this site I just went with an edition with a vaguely reminiscent cover. This isn't really a review, because I haven't even started the book yet. But I sure did buy it. I wish people still indulged this kind of witty dialogue. It never ceases to be amusing. When I read Goffman (a social analyst) my sophomore year in college, I related his discussion of "face" to the way that Lizzy gets embarrassed by her family in Pride and Prejudice. They reflect poorly on her by their rude and unrestrained behavior, which embarrasses her and greatly influences her interactions with Mr. Darcy because her family is detracting from her ability to preserve positive face. Also, re-reading it for a course on British Women Writers Before 1900 brought up how unrealistic the romance really is (a perfect, wealthy man marrying down, not even to the most beautiful of the Bennet sisters). And how it re-enforces bourgeoisie ideals of class (with the attitude of class-climbing being a crude aspiration nevertheless possible, even right, given the nurturing of one's innate high-born tendencies). And I was preoccupied by the idea of how sympathy for Mr. Bennet and Elizabeth is tied to their status as readers. And the way that there's a sort of satire of the pragmatic, stabilizing reality of marriage (which Mrs. Bennet is crude for acknowledging, yet the book kind of vindicates her perspective by having everything work out pretty nicely through marriages. Even against Elizabeth's seemingly romantic and obstinate personality.) Mr. Darcy muses early on, “A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment.” Darcy scorns the habit, but the novel itself vindicates this imaginative leap—he does indeed marry the Miss Elizabeth Bennet whose eyes he is admiring. And the silly Mrs. Bennet who wants a daughter to marry the rich new inhabitant of Netherfield at the novel’s commencement, ultimately gets her wish. Reading, I feel like a friend of Austen’s. I get to share her perspective as an amused outsider to the ironies of Pride and Prejudice. And I know she loved the character of Elizabeth Bennet. My edition's introduction points out that she was Austen's favorite character. I really really like Lizzie while I'm reading her, but upon analyzing the text and trying to think about what makes her likeable, I admit that my fondness fades. She's so impractical and silly and prejudiced. And bitter toward Mr. Darcy. And emotionally out-of-touch. And yet...endearingly so because she's so witty? Or because being out of touch with your emotions is an understandable fault? Or because her banter and romance with Mr. Darcy is so satisfying? I don't know, really. P.S. Sorry that this review is too long. P.P.S. Page 245 (in my edition...) is interesting in relation to the Bennets' marriage (being kind of pathetic and unfulfilling). And pages 49 and 59 have revealing Darcy/Elizabeth moments. That is all. I promise.

Some small (in my eyes) spoilers for those annoyed by such things. I enjoyed the first three of Gulliver's travels, and would give that part of the book a good rating purely on merit of being diverting, though there were several vulgar passages that should (and could) have been omitted. Beyond being simply fun to read, I felt that it was a prime example of good language of surpassing clarity. When I read Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities it took me a few pages to become used to his complicated prose. Once accustomed to his manner of speaking I found that I loved it and his prose is still my favorite of anything I have read, but the prose that Swift employed in writing Gulliver's Travels had a straightforward simplicity that was compelling and refreshing; I liked it. Something I noted was the narrating Gulliver's seeming disinterest in his own plights, triumphs and defeats throughout the book. What I found interesting was that despite the lack of emotion present in the narrative, I felt that I connected with Gulliver as a character quite well, such that I was even irritated and annoyed by his ruined state at the end of the novel. I find it worth mention because I have found in the past that seeing the emotions of a character was what helped me to relate to them the most, but in this case Swift managed it without that, I was intrigued by that. A word about the last of Gulliver's four journeys, which I found to be almost a chore to read, and which further drew my ire because of the changes it made in Gulliver himself. In the final journey I felt that Swift was simply slipping into long discourses on the foibles of humanity. Now, because of the nature of the book as a satire, that is precisely what Swift has been doing for most of the book, but it did not work here in the end, I think largely because he has Gulliver embark upon long, exaggerated (true, but still exaggerated) monologue about the state of things in Europe, whereas in the past he had focused mainly on the places to which Gulliver had traveled, add to that the fact that these monologues were specifically designed and calculated to bring all the worst of humanity to the front, and represent it as all that humanity is, which representation I found brought more displeasure with the author, than it brought reflection upon the faults of humanity. Perhaps my reaction is simply a consequence of my living in this time, where exist all of the same faults under somewhat different forms, rather than living in the time and place from which Swift was drawing his experiences, and perhaps not. I leave it to the individual reader to decide for themselves.

Harry Potter Và Chiếc Cốc Lửa - Tập 4 (Tái bản năm 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: J. K. Rowling

This book was really good. It is the story of Janessa McNeil who becomes very ill suddenly, and no cause can be found. Her husband is a renowned physician who chairs a committee that has stated that Lyme disease can be cured with a short round of antibiotics, and this finding has caused insurance companies to stop covering long-term treatment for Lyme. Janessa gets a call from a man who states he has infected her with Lyme disease because of her husband's work. She continues to get sicker, her husband refuses to believe her, and he leaves her. She has to deal with her illness and her stalker by herself. The book reminded me a lot of Jody Picoult's books--the same intense drama centered on a modern topic with twists and turns and a shocking ending. In the author's notes at the end, she describes her own battle with Lyme disease. Collins is a Christian writer, so her books do not have the same kind of language and sex that Picoult's books do. I am anxious to read more of her work and see if I enjoy it as much as this one.

This was a great book on raising boys. It talked about the differences in how boys and girls learn and how they interact socially and why. It brought to light to me, as a female, things I never considered in regards to raising a little boy. I read this book for a Adolescent Male Development class and instantly passed it on to my uncle who has a now 9 year old.

Very silly and kind of weird, but I had to know what inspired my friend Jacob to name his sailboat "Forty-Two". Worth the read, just to know references that people make, but didn't excite me much (I'm not really into science fiction anyway).
