I particularly remember buying this on my first trip to SF at City Lights bookstore...this is a classic. Howl and America are incredible poems, and I'm not normally into poetry. America speaks of the ludicrousness of the Cold War through humour.

Horrible Geography - Động Đất Động Trời (Tái Bản 2014) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Anita Ganeri

Great book to inspire my quest to learn Spanish! Plus, I learned the "truth" about monsoons. Since I live in the Sonoran Desert area, now I understand why I could never figure out the direction of the wind.

Phong Thủy Dương Trạch Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Evelyn Lip

Another post-apocalyptic, dystopian story echoing The Hunger Games, which came later. Interesting that everyone being made "pretty" is supposed to lead to equality, whether or not you want it.

Bồi Dưỡng Học Sinh Giỏi Lịch Sử Lớp 9 (Tái Bản) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

I think this book is misnamed. I read an article on this book in a magazine, and as a known pessimist who battles against my pessimistic nature I thought I would check it out, since optimists live longer and who wouldn't want to live longer and have a sunny disposition? 23 pages into the book I discovered that apparently my pessimistic/neurotic (and who wouldn't want to be called neurotic?) "unhappy personality" is biological and inherited. Really? How is that helpful? Ok, that may be the case and I may be no more able to change my 48% inherited "unhappy personality" that I am to become Malaysian, but why then is the book called "Breaking Murphy's Law: How Optimists Get What They Want from Life - and Pessimists Can Too"? So, I read on where I discover that apparently pessimists are a bunch of losers in that they're less likely to be "conscientious" or "goal-directed". So the "happy personality" or optimistic/extroverted are also blessed with conscientiousness and drive. She says these two things are not necessarily related, but that there is a strong correlation between the two. So, what I hear is that my "unhappy, careless, distractible, lazy, impatient, neurotic" self can confine myself to an early grave. And the question you have to ask yourself is, who is she writing this book for? Obviously these fun, fabulous extroverted optimists don't need to pick up this book, since they were blessed by the genetic lottery. Nope, it is those of us who want to improve our outlook who pick up this book only to be called names - in the name of science of course. It's amazing I even have the stamina to finish this review since no good could come of it. Well, I continued looking through the book for the glimmer of hope offered in the title and you know what - she didn't have anything to say that I don't already do. Or frankly anything you don't get out of an issue of Oprah - set tangible goals, work toward them, do things that make you feel good instead of wasting your time on tv. Yeah, like every optimist in the world has trashed their television. I've been setting goals and working toward them for years, and yet I haven't transformed from pessimist-rella into the beautiful optimist-princess. If you come across this book. Don't bother.

Từ Điển Anh - Việt (Khoảng 300.000 Từ Và Định Nghĩa) - Tái bản 2001 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Bảo Loan

A whopping disappointment after White Teeth - sorta like the Virgin Suicides after Middlesex, when you're thinking, can this BE the same person??? OB lacked the awesome wackiness and endless sharp, insightful turns of phrase that WT had, and while I appreciate modern remakes, other than it being a modern remake, what did it have to offer? It seemed to be too much this and too much that to really be anything. I couldn't take it seriously nor did I find it funny.

Good humorous, non-partisan analysis of Middle East countries in the post 9/11 world, from a perspective that only PJ can deliver. Gets past the political kool-aid, and looks at real situations.

Harry Potter Và Phòng Chứa Bí Mật (Bản đặc biệt có tranh minh họa màu) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: J. K. Rowling

The lives of 6 people all connected to the lady matador's hotel, in some unnamed Central American country, become intertwined in ways that seem to be leading to changes for them all: the competitive female matador, the ex-guerrilla fighter waitress, the baby-selling attorney, the American adopting couple, a Korean company owner and his pregnant mistress, and a sadistic military colonel. It's not my usual fair, but once I started reading, the characters were so well drawn that I wanted to see how the threads of their lives became tied to one another. Very nicely done.
