Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nguyễn Thị Bích Hạnh

Throughout the 1950's, Philip K. Dick continued to write mainstream novels involving working class characters and realistic situations. His agents were never able to place any of these titles with publishers, at least not until several years after Dick's death when the Dickian industry began in earnest and publishers were scrounging for new material. Dick never looked down on his sf output, but he continued to have faith in these realist novels into the 1960's. Time out of Joint, published in 1959, is a science fiction story that reads, for much of the time, as one of Dick's mainstream efforts. The characters are middle management types, one manages the produce department of a local grocery store, another works for the water department. They live in a new suburb of modest homes and are somewhat civically active. One couple, Vic and Margo, share their home with Margo's brother, Raigle, a war veteran who makes a comfortable living by answering a daily newspaper quiz, Where Will the Little Green Man Land Next. He is always right and has become something of a celebrity. The first odd moment arrives when Vic looks through a newly arrived brochure from the Book-of-the-Month Club and wonders who Harriet Beecher Stowe might be. It's possible he wouldn't know, but later Raigle sees a layout in Life Magazine and marvels that the featured starlet's breast can maintain the tile they have in the photographs. Since this is a Philip K. Dick novel, all three characters analyze the breasts in some detail but then also wonder among themselves just who Marilyn Monroe could be that she would merit so much attention. The next day, while Raigle contemplates adultery with the neighbor's wife, he takes her to the municipal swimming pool, and when he goes to the refreshment stand for cokes, the stand and its manager fade from sight leaving behind only a piece of paper with the printed words SOFT-DRINK STAND. Raigle puts the note into a box he keeps in his pocket where similar messages read DOOR, FACTORY BUILDING, BOWL OF FLOWERS. We are now in Dickian territory, where few people are who they claim to be, and a trip past the city limits is a trip to another world. Dick earns his standing as the connoisseur of American paranoia with this one. Early on Raigle has the insight that he may be the most important person in the world. He's no dummy.

At times (towards the beginning) it was a bit slow and dragged out. It did pick up towards the middle and end of the book. All in all, I can see why some people had a hard time getting through it.

I knew I was in love with this book when I started talking to the characters -- in dialect. "It gets better, Aibileen; donchu worry 'bout Miss Hilly. She faint if she could see what happened in 2008." At least I was in my car with the windows up when this happened. My favorite character was Minny. Her bold, scrappy attitude reminded me of my mom, who immigrated to the U.S. in late '60s to work as an au pair and housekeeper. Many evenings, she called my aunt to chat about "their ladies" and the kids they helped raise. Their worst stories don't compare with the horrors The Help's characters endured, but many -- the accusations of theft, inferior treatment, watching children learn racism -- were familiar. But so were the best stories, like the Mae Mobley/Aibileen relationship. For me, this was a reminder of the courage and sacrifice (on both sides) made for my generation to have the opportunities I/we take for granted...and how the simplest stories can effect change. Other random thoughts while I read: -- I'm glad I grew up in the Midwest and not in the South. --Are we really just 50 years removed from this? --I need to learn how to make caramel pie.

For too many years this book has been part of a stack that stay next to my side of the bed & which occasionally would get dusted off & moved to the "next up" category only to be put aside yet again. A chance conversation with a fellow reader reminded me of it, and I decided it was time to take the plunge into this fabulous novel. Part Greek history, part Genetics 101, part the Great American immigrant story and part just plain old coming of age novel, this book has it all. The narrator is the youngest child of first generation Americans who live in Detroit who has a brilliant & critical eye of her family - warts and all, and the novel gives us a history of their familiy's experience in the motor city since their arrival in the 1920s. There are so many layers to this novel none of which I'll attempt to identify & perhaps give away significant plot points but truly you can't go wrong if you decide to read it. I was reminded of the ancient Greek history I learned in sixth grade & learned for the first time the oppression of the Greeks who lived in Turkey. I was also reminded of the turmoil of the 1920s & 30s and again the Detroit riots of the late 1960's over racial inequality and the pilgrimage of youth to San Francisco at the same time. Really really a great read......

Sống Đẹp - Hai Đồng Xu Ở Đài Phun Nước (Chicken Soup For The Romantic Soup) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

Alex Michelini, Award-winning Investigative Reporter with the New York Daily News Captain Brian Power-Waters has demonstrated once again that he is the Captain Courageous of the airways, telling it like it is about the enduring perils of commercial aviation, just as he has done in Safety Last and Margin For Error: None. When are the airline regulators going to listen to his warnings and avoid the needless loss of lives? He is one of America’s most respected authorities on the subject, one that I often relied upon in my own writings exposing the flaws of the industry. This book is another loud and clear wake-up call and a must-read for anyone who believes achieving greater airline safety is a mandatory and reachable goal

This was a good read. I don't understand why he just didn't market it as fiction instead of lying and calling it a memoir.
