Sống Không Hối Tiếc - Tuổi 20 Yêu Thương Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ken Honda

The premise of this book is pretty much given away in the title. It's a bunch of short stories written about people who have found out how they are going to die via a blood test given by a machine. I was not familiar with the editor (Ryan North), nor any of the contributors, I don't think. This was a book club selection. Overall, I quite enjoyed it - this was definitely not something I would've picked up on my own. However, the quality of the story telling varied widely from tale to tale. Some were definitely more polished, and the authors had a better grasp of what makes a good story (including the writing style, rhythm, and in a few cases, grammar). During the book club discussion, however, it was determined that what I consider a good story is not always echoed by all (shocker, right?). For example, one story entitle Love Ad Nauseum, was a series of personal ads placed after the Death Machine had been loosed on the world, each ad placing greater restrictions on who the woman would date based on cause of death. I thought it was boring & a cop-out, others found it to be fairly clever. Many of the stories dealt with the inevitability of the cause of death & the way people reacted. Those reactions ranged from living in fear of whatever the cause was, and doing their best to avoid it as long as possible, to taking up activities that would've been scary before (such as sky diving) knowing that they'd die of something else (lung cancer or something), to reveling in the planned death (most notably in the story entitled Torn Apart & Devoured By Lions. There was some discussion at my book club about fate (with one member in particular hating the whole concept of these stories based on his complete lack of belief in fate and inevitability), and it was determined that the stories did start to become a little repetitive after awhile. Overall, however, the concept was interesting, many of the stories were well-written and interesting, and it's always nice to pick up a book that wouldn't have otherwise caught my eye. Some of my favorite stories from the collection included: Heat Death of the Universe Torn Apart & Devoured by Lions Killed By Daniel Firing Squad Not Waving But Drowning Improperly Prepared Blowfish Exhaustion From Having Sex With a Minor although the twist at the end of this one almost ruined the whole story for me. It felt like a cop-out. Nothing and Prison Knife Fight I would definitely recommend this for anyone who enjoys short stories, a little morbidity in their reading, thinking about predestination, or all three.

Lịch Vạn Sự Canh Dần 2010 - Vạn Sự Bất Cầu Nhân Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Cao Phú

I just finished re-reading a couple of tales from this book ("How to get a Head in New York" and "Calcutta: Lord of Nerves) and had to bump Poppy up to four stars. Not every tale in this collection is a home-run. Some are a tad too steeped in 90's goth culture for my taste and a few are just good, workhorse weird tales -- but Brite has such a talent for weaving the written word into something haunting and potent. The characters are not always that engaging, but the atmosphere she creates in her nightmare visions of big city sprawl and rural decay is just crawling with Boschiean wonder and horror.

Búp Bê - Tập 2 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Boleslaw Prus

نوشتن، قصه نقل كردن نيست. خلاف اين است. نوشتن نقل همه چيز است در عين حال، نقل توأمان داستان و غيبت داستان است؛ نقل داستان است از گذر غيبت داستان. لل زني است كه رنج را از ياد برده است، خود را هم از ياد برده است... نسيان همين است؛ مثل آب كه در دماي زير صفر و در نسيان آب بودن يخ مي‌زند. يخ مي‌زند لل از سكون و سرما

Em Sẽ Đến Cùng Cơn Mưa (Tái Bản 2016) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Ichikawa Takuji

Another golden oldie from my childhood. I'm enjoying the rereads. It's old-fashioned, and, I suppose, it's classified as a romance, but I rather like it.
