Những Điều Phái Nữ Muốn Nam Giới Biết Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Again - I won't put whole series on here but this is the first book in the Amelia Peabody series. This is my other favorite author - another mystery, history, humor combination. Set in Egypt and England in late 1800's to early 1900's.

Sao Mãi Còn Độc Thân Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Liz Tuccillo

Abysmal, condescending, illogical and mean-spirited book on social economics. Absolutely no sources named for "statistics". The author seems to think that a significant number of people go to the movies solely to eat popcorn and that the benefits of recycling are outweighed by the fact that he doesn't feel like doing it.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

This was a book discussion book I had to read for work but I really found it fascinating! It discusses the effect that technology (specifically the internet0 is having on our world, and more specifically on our brains. It addresses the ways in which we think and read. This book freaked me out a little bit but with things I feel like I need to consider.

So, so good, maybe even better with a second reading. Some quotes (although many loose impact out of context): "You must learn to fear. I do this for your own sake. Fear is like happiness, but the smile is wider." pg 24 "He held out a written pass. 'This is what they want us to be,' he said. 'They want us to be nothing but a bill of sale and a letter explaining where we is and instructions for where we go and what we do. They want us empty. They want us flat as paper. They want to be able to carry our souls in their hands, and read them out loud in court. All the time, they're on the exploration of themselves, going on the inner journey into their own breast. But us, they want there to be nothing inside of. They want us to be writ on. They want us to be a surface. Look at me; I'm mahogany.' I protested, 'A man is known by his deeds.' 'Oh, that's sure,' said Bono. 'Just like a house is known by its deeds. The deeds say who owns it, who sold it, and who'll buying a new one when it gets knocked down.'" pg 136 "Empedocles claims that in utero, our backbone is one long solid; and that through the constriction of the womb and the punishments of birth it must be snapped again and again to form our vertebrae; that for the child to have the spine, his back must first be broken." pg 170 "When I peer into the reaches of the most distant futurity, I fear that even in some unseen epoch when there are colonies even upon the moon itself, there shall still be gatherings like this, where the young, blinded by privilege, shall dance and giggle and compare their poxy lesions...We are a young country, a country of the young,' he said bitterly. 'The young must have their little entertainments." pg 203 (for those who've read Feed, yes, I believe this is a direct reference to it.) "And so, for a while, for perhaps some ten minutes, I was not looking at my mother, but at a woman who knew me, and I was a man who knew her; she was a girl of thirteen, newly arrived in a frigid, alien country; a woman who had been that girl; who have given birth in bondage, while men with devices and pencils had observed....We stared at one another, and in that moment, we knew each other for the first and last time." pg 219 "They gave me a tongue; and then stopped it up, so they would not have to hear it crying." pg 309 "...in all things, we are involved in commerce; and all things, Octavian, devour, and all things are for sale; and all things have their price; and all things vie and kill; and that is all we do; and all things must support themselves, or be consumed." pg 340

Văn Học Kinh Điển Dành Cho Thiếu Nhi - Những Tấm Lòng Cao Cả (Bìa Cứng) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Edmondo De Amicis

I am updating this review because I just read the entire book--couldn't get through it the first 2 times I tried a few years back. I picked it up again recently after watching the movie and enjoyed it much more this time. The bits that bothered me the first time around still bugged me a little: I can't decide if all the allusions to obscure books were intricate character details or just pretentious affectations of the author's writing style. Also, I hated the Gomez being in love with Clare too bit because it seemed more like an afterthought. In the end, this is one of the few cases of me enjoying the movie better...I think I'm one of like 3 people that admit to liking the movie. Although I did miss many of the smaller characters (Kimy, the librarian friends, Ingrid and Celia) that the movie ignored, the movie also eliminated my 2 biggest beefs with the novel. Also, I have a huge Eric Bana crush so there's that too.

Marissa Mayer and the Fight to Save Yahoo! Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nicholas Carlson

Just a note: There's a spoiler in the final third of this review, but it shouldn't matter to you because it is an annoying spoiler and part of the reason you shouldn't read The Way Home. ON WITH THE REVIEW!! I expected more from one of the writers of The Wire. I guess this is unfair to George Pelecanos. I mean it's not his fault that the other fiction writers associated with The Best Show Ever Aired are all gods of the crime-fiction realm. Not everyone can be Dennis Lehane, Richard Price, or even David Simon, who wrote one of the best nonficiton cop books ever. Not everyone can be great. But not everyone has to be George Pelecanos, either. It's not that The Way Home is terrible in every regard. In some ways, it is PERFECTLY...adequate. The plot, about a group of juvie offenders who get released and rehabilitated (to varying degrees) and then later accidentally get caught up in some Bad Things, is ok if as unoriginal as an episode of Two and a Half Men. But still, credit GP for attempting something about more than action-action-action. It's about friendship and loyalty, family and love, right and wrong. It's about a parent's decisions. It's also about some lazy-ass writing. Pelecanos DESPERATELY wants to set a mood and tone akin to those set by Price and Lehane. You can smell it. He wants to say Big Things. But he just can't do it. He graduated at the top of the class in the "Tell, Don't Show School," and the laziness (or just clumsiness)he learned there single-handedly destroys anything good that does manage to shine through. Here are two sentences, totally without context, that SHOW what I'm talking about: "Chris called Ali and had a brief conversation." Oh, DID he now? I wonder what was said in that conversation? Was it important? Were there knock-knock jokes? IF ONLY there was some way to show people what could have possibly been said! Some sort of...marks or something that could signify that, hey, people are talking here! This isn't the narrator's words! Seriously. Inexcusable and just fucking annoying. Example deux: "Renee became hysterical upon learning the news of Ben's violent death." This sentence comes during a pivotal moment after a major character gets waxed. The main character has gone to break the bad news to the new corpse's girlfriend. These are MAJOR players in this book. And that's all we get. She 'became hysterical.' Well. It's good to know that she reacted to the news! I'll bet Jackie O 'became hysterical' one day in 1963 as well! I mean, really? That's all you got? Did she break down and cry? Violate her pet bunny with a plunger handle? Or simply drink some tea that was, quite frankly, too hot? What kind of 'hysteria' we talking here? I'll admit that I stopped reading pretty much after this sentence. I skimmed the rest, just because I did have some time invested. And even though I don't know the details of the last 100 pages or so, there is a random paragraph on the final page that is so...out of place and stupid that it makes me want to go back through all 5 seasons of The Wire to see if there are any obvious parts ruined by this hack.

Pokemon Đặc Biệt - Tập 8 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hidenori Kusaka

The density of Conrad's writing is pretty awe-inspiring, considering that English was not Conrad's first language, nor even second language. But the density of Conrad's writing doesn't really move this narrative along either. His writing style is more conducive to something that had more psychological heft like Heart of Darkness. I'm not going to lie...sometimes reading a page of this novel is like reading 10 pgs. of another novel.

The first in Rick Bragg's series about his family and life in the poor, rural south. I'm a huge fan ... I'd read a label if it was written by Rick Bragg.

Văn Chương Phương Nam - Một Vài Bổ Khuyết Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Võ Văn Nhơn

I usually rush through books. Especially those I love. I have this hunger (hunger hehe, get it?) to know what will happen rightaway. Then, if I like it I can always read it again and again. But I took my time reading this cause I honestly didn't want it to finish. But to sum it all up, it was completely AMAZING ♥ I think I liked the first two better, but still there's no way I can give it less than 5 stars, even if there were things I didn't like. Or just one: the ending. I'm actually torn and have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I feel it was the perfect ending, and it totally fits the rest of the story. But on the other hand, I can't help but feel like there's a scene missing. We spent three books experiencing Katniss' building relationship with both guys, and while I liked the turn of events, I always thought she would eventually choose. She didn't. Life just turned out that way. (view spoiler) But all in all, I completely adored this series and I thank every single one of the friends who recommended them to me.
