I didn't enjoy this debut novel quite as much as I enjoyed her 2nd novel, "Cresenent".

Tôi Chọn Hôm Nay, Tôi Chọn Hạnh Phúc Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Taketoshi Ozawa

Dearest friends -- someone please read this book so I have someone to discuss it with me! Wow. I really like Deb Olin Unferth's writing -- I find her pace and tone and style is kind of like the way I think (perhaps this is disturbing, because this book is kind of disturbing). I can't even really begin to describe this book. It's about love and longing and wishing things would be different. It fades and flows in and out of reality. The author makes fun of the reader at certain important moments, writing things like "You didn't see that coming, did you?" This is not a bright and happy story....but I kind of loved this book. One of my favorite, typically depressing passages, "He'd spent the remaining six hundred and seventy-four hours of each month in automatic Laundromats, or in a blue, manual-transmission vehicle, or in front of a freshman college classroom where he solemnly recited grammar instruction four times a day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, or in a parking lot removing boxed imperishables from a shiny wheeled cage and lowering them into his trunk. Most people live this way. They really do." Life and regret and crater-headed men and such. Let me know if you read it!

A true tale of tenacity & suspense!! Green eggs & ham are being offered in a variety of settings: In a box? With a fox? Sam goes over and beyond to offer his friend a location and companionship in a conviction that, once sampled, said friend will find great delight in this exquisite culinary delight. The friend's stubborn refusal to capitulate does not deter Sam! Indeed, his persistence *SPOILER ALERT* eventually does wear down his recalcitrant friend. Will his initial refusal be proven to be a case of following one's instinct and being proven correct? Or, will this be a lesson on the joy to be found in trying new things? I will let you read for yourself whether the friend's agreement to taste this colorful meal meets with triumph or tragic results. In memory of Dr. Seuss, let's celebrate the anniversary of his birth by ENJOYING a classic book!! ;)

Truyện Về Muôn Thú - Chuyện Của Rồng Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

I'm super bummed because I had this hugely long review written, and my computer died! SO we'll see if I can recreate it now. I must say, I reveal a few of spoilers. Sorrry! This was a really great read - just as much as I was expecting, my guilty pleasureful Jamie fix. It was a riveting story and I loved it from start to finish! Yet it wasn't necessarily perfect. There were just a few things that probably would have knocked it down a .01 review point (naturally by Jamie default this one gets rounded up to a 5!). I REALLY wish that Claire wasn’t away from Jamie so much in this one. Yes, she was back in the 1960s for like 200 pgs with her daughter and all but I think one of the reasons I inhaled the other books was their relationship being together. Then they were away from one another again for at least 100 or so pages when they were separated onto different boats going to the Indies. What the heck! It made for a good story, yes, but I love the Jamie-Claire thing. Those parts in Claire’s POV weren’t as enthralling. I also was a little put off with the fact that they were no longer 20 something’s, and instead in their 40s. I guess as a 20something, I’m not as interested in relationships of 40 something’s? Is that awful? Guilty, I guess. So I basically spend the whole time picturing them the same as they were in their twenties. I found some parts confusing – SO much was going on and I was sometimes questioning where they were, who people were, etc. Granted, I should have read slower? Either way, I probably would need to read it again in order to fully grasp more details. So despite those things, I was immensely happy with the story! I obviously loved that Claire traveled again, and found Jamie. Super romantic! And that they didn’t separate time-wise again. I love that Jamie is constantly on the run, and how he handles all the crud life tends to hand him! Really like Lord John Grey, too. Interested in reading the books about him. Also I really hope we learn more about Brianna and her possible future husband, back in the 60s. I definitely love where J and C ended up at the end… psyched to see what life will be like for them! Did I mention that I love that this book spanned about 3-4 months instead of a few years like the others? I don’t think I’d care to hear about their romps when the two of them are like 60+. But regardless I will read anything about these two. I’m so hooked. Already feeling some Jamie withdrawal, but Drums of Autumn is too grotesquely huge to bring on the plane to Florida! I recommend this to everyone… these books are amazing!

Những Thói Quen Vàng - Nhất Định Con Sẽ Giữ Lời Hứa! Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Kang Min Kyung

Since starting my new job in the Education department's library, I've been reading one or two children's/ young adult books each week. This is one of the better ones I've read in a while -- it's not so much about special education or even eccentric teachers as it is about the joy of writing and of words. The way the author uses words reminds me a little of Sandra Cisneros' The House on Mango Street. I really enjoyed this book and may add it to my collection.

Sài Gòn Thành Phố Hồ Chí Minh - Hành Trình 100 Năm (1911-2011) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhiều Tác Giả

One thing I'm learning while going through a series of biographies on old country music stars is that they're all assholes. This is the rule with bluegrass pioneer Bill Monroe in his biography "Can't You Hear Me Callin': The Life of Bill Monroe, Father of Bluegrass" by Richard D. Smith. Monroe had a long 60-year career in bluegrass and country music being relatively important for at least more than half of those years and appropriately revered for the last 10 years. He was the progenitor for a genre of music that closely defines America and spawned so much great music. He hated foul language. He didn't drink, smoke or do drugs. And yet it would be pretty hard to find a bigger son of a bitch in music history. His womanizing was legendary. But it's one thing to sleep with a bunch of women and think nothing of it. But he attached himself to these women, created relationships and, in turn, precipitated certain promises of fidelity. Instead, he left long-time companions on the side of the road, destitute and caring little for where they ended up as he leaned on his career and ability to bedevil women his whole life. I can't take much from the man knowing what he did in music, but if Bob Dylan was a murderer or if Elvis Presley were an SS officer at a concentration camp, wouldn't we think of these people differently? Sure. Smith did a wonderful job of not glossing over Monroe's curmudgeonly attitude and rudeness that he displayed pretty much his whole life. Yet, it's all kinda overshadowed because he could play the mandolin. Had he been a farmer, nobody would've given a flying flip about the guy or cared whether he lived or died.
