This Sunday morning before church I woke up slightly earlier than usual with an idea. I was feeling quite nostalgic for some reason- you know that kind of day- a make pancakes and watch teenage mutant ninja turtles or boy meets world kind of morning. And despite my initial desire to trudge along in my current enjoyable fiction endeavor, I was convinced to put the book down and pick up an old favorite: C.S. Lewis’ The Magician’s Nephew. A classic book that I knew would not only be a quick read, but a real joy, and a deeply satisfying adventure to cure those spontaneous nostalgic cravings that sneak up on us from time to time. Most know the tale of Digory Kirke, and Polly exploring the row of terraced houses in London, only to stumble upon Digory’s magician uncle who has created rings with the power to transport humans into other worlds. Through Uncle Andrew’s deception, he drives the comical, bickering pair to puddle-hopping into different lands, meeting evil queens, and finally stumbling upon the creation of Narnia. Lewis’ voice in this installment of the Chronicles of Narnia seems so much more playful than it’s companions, and had me laughing aloud thinking about how well Lewis understood the mind of a child. This time around I particularly enjoyed the witty arguments between Digory and Polly: “It’s all rot to say a house would be empty all those years unless there was some mystery.” (Digory) “Daddy thought it must be the drains,” said Polly. “Pooh! Grown-ups are always thinking of uninteresting explanations,” said Digory. Or how about this one? And if you want me to come back, hadn’t you better say you’re sorry?” (Polly) “Sorry?” exclaimed Digory. “Well now, if that isn’t just like a girl! What have I done?” “Oh nothing of course,” said Polly sarcastically. “Only nearly screwed my wrist off in that room with all the waxworks, like a cowardly bully. Only struck the bell with the hammer, like a silly idiot. Only turned back in the wood so that she had time to catch hold of you before we jumped into our own pool. That’s all.” The Magician’s Nephew, while traditionally (since the 1980’s) has been placed 1st in the chronicles of Narnia Series, was actually published 6th, and after another read it is easy to see why. As your unraveling the tale you see the origins of different enigmatic elements within the land or Narnia: where does the lamp post come come from in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe? How does the wardrobe actually have the ability to bring the Pevensies into Narnia? Why is professor Kirke so willing to believe that the land of Narnia is real? The riddles presented throughout the books are satisfied in The Magician’s Nephew, and I would argue should be read six, because the reader will experience the excitement of understanding the compelling world of Narnia that so effortlessly draws you in to its adventures. Lewis (as always) has a power to make you feel the longing of something that I can never quite put my finger on. Maybe it’s adventure, or the simplicity of childhood, or the purity of Narnia character that I long for, or perhaps the way Lewis communicates theological ideas with such an unmatched emotional force through his creative fiction. Whatever it is, the Magician’s Nephew makes for a great read that will always be on the highest bookshelf I have. check out my book review blog: https://mephibosheth311.wordpress.com/

Bill Simmons's writing is a little self-indulgent for me, but it was nice to relive the 2004 season. Best part was his footnote about Afleet Alex.

This was just the kind of read I was looking for at the time, a straightforward story of right prevailing over wrong. I mean, who can argue with a tall, strong, handsome hero who also happens to be a crack shot? Throw in a couple of gritty, love-to-hate-'em bad guys; a pretty, capable, down-home love interest; a few got-your-back-covered pals; and an indispensable dog. Award-winning author Kelton does a terrific job of bringing the traditional Western formula to life. I will definitely turn to his books again whenever I need an exciting, satisfying, predictable read.
It's a must read. Wow! One of the best books I've ever read. Suzanne Collins is an excellent writer. The plot is very creative and believeable and the characters seem so real. I couldn't put it down last night and while I can't wait to finish it I wish it were a bigger book so I can go on reading. The author has done such a great job of making the characters and their situation/suffering seem real and relatable. I can't wait to see what happens at the end of this book and in the next one (book #3).

The Fountainhead has become an enduring piece of literature, more popular now than when published in 1943. On the surface, it is a story of one man, Howard Roark, and his struggles as an architect in the face of a successful rival, Peter Keating, and a newspaper columnist, Ellsworth Toohey. But the book addresses a number of universal themes: the strength of the individual, the tug between good and evil, the threat of fascism. The confrontation of those themes, along with the amazing stroke of Rand's writing, combine to give this book its enduring influence.
My favorite Stephen King novel.... Not his usual writing style, but amazing nevertheless.

啊! 这本书的大部分内容都让我感到压力重重,不知道任何人都会做什么。 我读了每一页...等等。 不。 我跳过了其他书籍的回顾。 没关系 我在几天之内就读完了所有这三本书,因此,我不需要重述。 我喜欢最后一刻,直到最后一页都感到压力很大。 我确实跳到了结尾部分,所以我可以放松一下。 我对KC的所有书中只有一次感到失望,但她在该系列的其他书中对此有所弥补。
