WHAT A GREAT IDEA AND CONCEPT, TO OWN YET NOT CONTROL, ONLY REAPING PROFITS!
Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Randy Pausch
The pieces in this collection were just the right length for me, mostly because the prose was as engaging (okay, arousing) as the subject matter, especially as the book progresses. I probably should've read the stories, as some say you should with a collection of shorts, in order. (I typically read a collection out of order, starting with the shortest pieces.) When I skimmed the book a final time to make sure I'd finished it, I could appreciate what seemed to be a theme of someone slowly, but surely putting himself back together after a life of trauma.

A Thousand Acres is a reworking of Shakespeare's King Lear. Smiley has set her novel on a thousand acre family farm in Iowa. The family patriarch decides to retire and hands his farm over to 2 of his 3 daughters. The book started off slowly. The novel turns into a character-driven story about family and betrayal.
I was just thinking the other day about how much this book made me laugh. It's one of those stories that gave me dozens of great mental pictures.

My love for fantasy keeps going strong. I know that when I am tired my hand takes down for shelves more easier reading, but when going gets tough, there's nothing more soul solidifying, than a good old-school fantasy. The only trouble I had with this book, were the names. After all, all people, had like 5 of them for different occasions, moods and status symbols. And they were quite similar to each other as well. So I had to keep reading quite carefully who carried what name exactly, who was actually in the scene and what role their name represented at the moment. I loved the subtle romance and friendships, and how intrigues changed destinies and lives. And I loved how no-one whined about things, but just mastered their skills and went at it with heart. And that when someone was simply put bad guy, then you'd get the back-story of why it was so and where that flaw and weakness came from and grew.
The Fear was devastating to read, yet impossible to put down. Devastating, because of the crimes and tragedies that Zimbabweans have endured--are still enduring--under Robert Mugabe's dictatorship. Impossible to put down, because for each story of torture, rape, murder, and destruction at the hands of Mugabe's henchmen and collaborators, Peter Godwin movingly describes the courage and compassion of opponents of the regime--sometimes at the risk of death. Yet the Zimbabwean people's sacrifices are the real reason for writing it: to testify that such unbelievable and horrific things happen even while the more fortunate and sheltered of us live our lives in ignorance of them. The danger that the men and women in The Fear face daily is something most of us can barely imagine: for everyone from ordinary farmers to resistance leaders, something as fundamental and commonplace as voting can have dire consequences. 'The fear' is entrenched in Zimbabwean society. There are so many memorable accounts in this book that it's difficult to choose which to write about; some, however, are sure to haunt my memory for a very long time. Visiting torture survivors in a hospital, Godwin notes that most of the men and women he interviews want him to use their full names. Knowing that doing so may invite retribution from Mugabe's goons, they give detailed accounts of what happened to them--sometimes even the names of their attackers. Then there is the congregation who, evicted from their church, try to hold a service anyway and are herded off (Godwin included) by riot police. But acts of bravery are not limited to lower classes. Godwin also writes of the determination of high-ranking politicians such as diplomat James McGee and minister of agriculture Roy Bennett (whom Godwin calls a "champion" and the greatest threat to Mugabe), who was falsely imprisoned for arms possession. The Fear is a political memoir, but the personal and the political are necessarily intertwined. The book is also a deeply personal history about Godwin's relationships with his mother Helen and his sister Georgina. The prologue is a poignant vignette of Helen Godwin, who worked in health care in Zimbabwe and now lives with the bitter knowledge that much of her life's work is being destroyed. On the other hand, stories about or including Georgina are especially vivid and frequently comical in a gallows-humour way. Yet more than a memoir about family, The Fear exposes Godwin's anger and despair at the systematic devastation of his native land. This book saddened, shocked, and outraged me. The Zimbabweans who lost their homes, their families, and their lives during Mugabe's rule have sacrificed much, too much. But no less courageous is Godwin himself, who secretly went back to his native country to research and write the book even though he was once accused of being a spy for foreign intelligence. No matter what your politics or passions, The Fear is an important and recommended read. 4.5/5 stars

I've probably read this book a hundred times; not because it's amazing, but because it holds a special place in my heart because it was the only novel in English I had the year I studied abroad. It's a cotton candy book--sweet, fluffy-- and let's face it- sometimes that's just what you want.
