Pokemon Đăc Biệt - Tập 5 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hidenori Kusaka

I won this book in a first reads giveaway and I'm very glad I did! Not what I would call in my typical wheelhouse, I completely enjoyed it anyway. At first I was intrigued by the idea of the "probability angels" who push us humans to reach our greatest potential--I like that idea. When the zombie, bad guy angels showed up, I became a bit skeptical. But this is where the book really became compelling to me, and I couldn't put it down. True, it is the age-old struggle of good vs. evil, but with a fantastical twist that I found absolutely eye-opening. Joseph Devon writes with an understated sense of humor that made me chuckle. I LOVE the literary allusions that crop up, and his imagery is vivid and beautiful. I really cared about this collection of unlikely characters who practically jumped off the pages they were so well-drawn. And--BTW--as a high school teacher of soon-to-be grads who have frustrated me all year--I identified with and found comfort in Epp's admonishment to his student: "You were nothing special. For God's sake, I am so sick of that mentality. That you have to be special to be special. The biggest anchor on the progress of all humanity is the notion that good comes with clear signs, that greatness can't possibly exist within the confines of an ordinary existence. I saw nothing special in you, Bartleby. I only saw that you existed, and so you had a right to better than you are...that is why I did what I did." What wisdom! Thank you goodreads--and Joseph Devon--for a fun ride!

It was really YA. There wasn't any amazing writing, but I thought the characters were good and it did make me think a lot. Easy quick read.

Hồ Chí Minh Và Bản Di Chúc Trường Tồn Lịch Sử Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhiều tác giả

First of all, I must admit I have not read A Wrinkle in Time, which it seems this book is based on. I did enjoy parts of the book and thought the author did a good job of portraying life as it would have been for this character in 1979. Overall, though, I didn't find the mystery very compelling and I was just as confused by the shifting relationships between the various kids as I was when I was that age.

Amazing, breathtaking, and Beautiful. I hope someday I can take just one picture as good as these. These photographers from the early 1900's loved their work. They lugged their heavy and fragile equipment around in the most remote areas. They even had thier developing chemicals and built improvised dark rooms. What an inspiration of commitment. I am amazed at the ability and talent of Charles Martin, who was able to take the first color photographs underwater of fish swimming. He had to get everything right to have the lighting and even built a pontoon boat to carry his magnesium flash powder!! I learned about the history of Kodak. "Strive to be an individual. Once your satisfied with photographing the subject in the same style or manner, you're defeated." - Bob Gilka Moscow 1993 Gerd Ludwig The picture of the childen without left hands really touched my heart. Those who know me know why it is a subject close to me. WOW!!

Mỗi Ngày 1 Trò Chơi Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Trish Kuffner

This book was my introduction to Sharon Creech. It's simple, but excellent. Actually, it sort of sneaked up on me (much like Bel Canto did)(by the by, doesn't "sneaked" kind of bug you? It's like when you (ha! you) have to use "we" instead of "us" because you know it's right, but then it bothers you because no one uses "we" that way and you fear the other person believes you to be an idiot. Anyway, most dictionaries still label "snuck" as nonstandard, so "sneaked" it must be); I was a little put off by the simple narrative poem structure, but I couldn't long resist the charm of a boy and his dog story. It's a very nice little book, great for reading aloud.

Diary by Chuck Palahniuk. This. Fucking. Book. Is. Shit. I am having a hard time finding the fitting words to say about this. To write a something like "This is Fucking Great!" or "This book is GOOD!" or even "This book is perfect!" to do so is going to be a crime. Even giving five stars wouldn't be enough. I would even say that this is even better than Fight Club. A dark gripping tale of an artist doomed because of her oozing lava of talents. Misty Kleinman Wilmot, you are cursed with that gift that you have for—eternity. As a girl, being raised by a hippie mother, Misty never experienced what world is like outside the trailer park in Tecumseh Lake. That dream of being an artist is what Misty was living for. She weny to art school. In there, she met Peter Wilmot. The biggest mistake of all the mistakes she ever made in her life. Poor Misty. Gifted. Cursed. Inspiring. Peter Wilmot was on a mission to find that woman cursed with talent that will provide salvation to Waytansea Island. Yes, he was successful. The name "Misty Kleinman" was hyphenated with Wilmot. He soon tried to get Misty to Waytansea Island—the island populated with lunatics. The island trapped with traditions. In order to get Misty to the Island, he impregnated her. Tabbi Wilmot was the result, and Misty staying in the island. I meant trapped. Better word—wrapped. Being promised that her dreams of being an artist would be made into reality, she lived in that island as a waitress at a hotel the Wilmots owned. A mother. A queen of fucking slaves. For some reason, Peter attempted to kill himself. He failed. Peter had become a living dead in the hospital. A vegetable waiting to rot—was slow rotting. Then, together with Grace Wilmot, Misty raised Tabii. Suffering. Suffering. Suffering. A daily overdose of it brings her talent back from the dead. The sleeping volcano exploded. She started to paint like a schizophrenic overdosed with talents. With her eyes closed and Tabbi as her inspiration, she painted masterpieces of art that were known to be impossible. Misty had lost everything. Now, Tabbi and that dream of being an artist were the only things left for her—what was left for her to do. And oblivious to almost everything, what awaited Misty was a conspiracy that happens every four generations that would kill hundreds of people. An event that would make the island filthy rich for generations at a price of hundreds of lives. Misty Kleinman Wilmot. A queen of fucking slaves. A hostage who was destined to save the island from running out of money for the next four generations. A tool to use. The island that trapped itself with its own cycle. Once you are born, you're already doomed to fulfill your fate. You're doomed at being you. How can not being you and being you be curse at the same time? ... Life perhaps is... A cursed gift. A fucked-up life is the main reason why we great art ever existed. How stupid would be a painting of two unicorns kissing each other compared to a painting of a sky burning like hell with angels crying and screaming from wounds inflicted by demons, winged beings falling down from the great red sky. How stupid would that be if you call Justin Beiber's songs “Art.” Ok. Ok. I'll stop making fun of her. Suffering ... is the key in creating exceptional art. What hurts us the most awakes the artist inside of us. Brings out the genius out of our brains, out of our souls. Scars and wounds are the best source inspiration. You art shows your wounds your scars your life—it shows everything about you. Art and Suffering—they're almost synonymous. Do you know that the best artists are not the finest and perfect human beings? Chuck Palahniuk's Angsty Nihilistic Existential Voice was never this loud. Cynical and in some sense, optimistic. The plot build-up flares with excitement and disgust. Not to mention that this book has the best plot twists ever. Whoever the narrator was (probably it's Misty), it still continues to be a puzzle. Which is one the things I liked best about this novel. One of the best reads I ever had. To not read this would be a crime against yourself. You don't know what you're missing. And just for the record, you've already missed enough things in your life.

31 Tuổi Thì Đã Làm Sao? Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Fumio Yamamoto

I've read this book many times. In looking through some of the other reviews and posts, I would agree that I'm drawn back to it more because of the writing than any else. Fitzgerald is at his best sylistically here. And of course the story itself is very compelling (and uniquely American in may ways in how it addresses self reinvention, rapid upward mobility, etc...). In re-reading it recently, I was surprised at how unsympathetic the characters had all become. When I was younger, I remember thinking of it as this great love story but the last time I read it, Gatsby and Daisy just came across and naive and selfish...yet Fitzgerald still makes you feel for them.
