Raymond Chandler is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy. Or at least my ownership of this is proof that someone loves me, because these are four of the best novels I've read all year. Philip Marlowe, Chandler's detective, roams the streets of Los Angeles and environs, looking for clues, criminals, or someone to hit with a witty one-liner. He's tired, lonely, propelled forward by some impetus he doesn't reveal; what we see of him comes in bits and pieces: he's in his late thirties, not bad looking, plays chess, speaks Spanish, and smokes and drinks. He likes coffee in the morning, sandwiches for lunch, and blondes for dinner, and he works by his own moral code which makes seducing someone else's wife all right, but taking money for the wrong sort of case uncool. And did I mention he's funny? The novels here are hardboiled noir in the sense of "no innocents, only suspects", but there's actually relatively little violence in them, at least compared to contemporary writers like John Burdett. The Lady in the Lake has four bodies, as does The Little Sister, and the other two have fewer. Marlowe takes his share of knocks, and Chandler handles the violence and his reaction to it realistically. Chandler is often credited as being the one who raised detective fiction to a literary form (credited, I suppose, by literature snobs), but if he did so he did it entirely through his use of language. To give a brief example from the beginning of The Lady in the Lake: "The sidewalk in front of [the Treloar Building:] had been built of black and white rubber blocks. They were taking them up now to give to the government, and a hatless pale man with a face like a building superintendent was watching the work and looking as if it was breaking his heart." This style, clipped and clear eyed, has become known as Chandleresque, and rightly so. He plays out his genius slowly, keeping you hooked, waiting for the next good one liner. This edition is nice, with a hard cover and a little bookmark, very handy if you're me and schlep everything everywhere. It also has an introduction by a guy named Tom Hiney which is worth skipping; Hiney seems mostly to want to apologize for the fact that this is GENRE FICTION and not LITERATURE and seems to have difficulty keeping straight the difference between Marlowe (fictional) and Chandler (real). But you and I, being more intelligent, don't need that sort of person to tell us what to think. In summary, read this book, it will make you happy.

Bí Kíp Luyện Rồng - Cẩm Nang Hải Tặc Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Cressida Cowell

Surprisingly, I'm dissapointed. I didn't think I ever would be with a Hilderbrand book but I find myself stunned. Most likely, a combination of things gives me the opinion of distaste. I couldn't really relate with any of the characters in this book and they all made me mad at some point. The main character, Claire is a mother of four and is a professional Glass Blower. I have no idea what that entails and when the story got into her work I was lost. It was interesting though I just wish I knew what half the terms were and how it all worked. The major let down that the book revolved around was the affair Claire was having with the Director of the Gala she was co-chairing for the year. I was so annoyed and angry at this that I just felt disgusted throughout the rest of the book. I just couldn't get over that someone with a great life, 4 beautiful kids, a good husband and everything she could ever ask for would have such a pointless affair. She wasn't even attracted to him! And only after a few months they are saying "I love you's" to each other? Please.

This is an American classic--which I always meant to read, but never got around to it. It is about teenage boys at a boarding school in 1942, and their relationships and insecurities. The story is told with a backdrop of WWII being fought. Good read--WAY better than Catcher in the Rye!!

I got my Lynn Viehl fix! I miss the fangs, I admit. Where the hunger, the primal instincts, of my vampires and werewolves? Waxing poetic, LOL. I liked the scenes starring GenHance, the shady genetics corp, à la science and lab thrillers like Paycheck , if it were good, with monsters. What can I say, I'm a science nerd. Readers of Viehl's Darkyn series will be happy to see edible ex-assassin and vampire lord Lucan, fan favorite, and his mate, ex-homicide detective, Samantha. I loved the hunting scene. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge* Their relationship continues here, and it's great to see them again and learn more about them as their relationship develops a bit like Wrath & Beth's relationship progressed in a certain other series. That said, one can read this without the Darkyn series. Just be prepared to launch right into the thick of things. Keep up. Speaking of which, the crime and horror elements were truly creepy with the abusive misogynist turned Frankenstein's freak. He was always a monster inside, LOL. I liked the real world detail in the corporate espionage plot, infiltrating a genetics conglomerate and kidnapping. I also like that secondary character Drew is a techy and Rowan's a one time street urchin, now cook. I'm looking forward to her book. Ms. Viehl has done it. Only she could write a thriller involving a chef, LOL. Some have complained that they don't feel a connection to the characters, probably because Viehl's novels are less sentimental and internal. Frankly, this means her narratives move along a lot faster than the average romance bogged down with long internal monologues, and also importantly, keeps action sequences continuous. Don't you just hate it when a hero stops to ponder in the middle of a gunfight? There is a lot of tightly written action here. Great pacing! My only complaint is that I want a dark hero. Matthias was too good! I want to see Drew in action. He looks like a smartmouth. :D

An 850-paged biography on James Joyce is not a pleasure read. But as far as 850-page biographies go, it's well written and informative and engaging at times.

Okay. I REALLY liked this book. So many different layers I didn't bored and the end didn't disappoint. If it weren't so darn big, I would reread to catch somethings I am sure I missed. I like the mythology, ancient god, folktaley stuff and this is full of it.

Crescendo was pretty good, although the series is a lot like Twilight. And I'm not a fan of Twilight. But in some ways it's better, and the character reminds me of me a little, so I will keep reading. Although Patch makes me want to clonk him. :)

I think I read this book 100 times when I was a teenager. I found the old tattered copy in a library along Lake Champlain, so the atmosphere was obviously familiar. It's a sweet old-fashioned coming of age and love story.

Good, engaging reading if you like the genre. Beware, ends like dog stories are wont to do.
