After Wuthering Heights I have turned to another Bronte sister for a novel that I recall being similarly oriented in frustrated desires but somehow is a bit more sensible than W.H. I cannot exactly qualify what I mean there, sorry. I think I'm attempting to remind myself of something. Almost a mystical renounciation of want for others. A refusal to engage in the confines of society. Clearly, acts of resistance are suggested by the characters navigation through their respective societies. Everyone is either directly oppressed or sort of determinedly challenging their positions. I find it exciting.

A Song for Tomorrow Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Alice Peterson

I was made to read Catcher in the Rye back in eighth grade, and I remember hating the book. Every few chapters I would stop, look up at my mother, and go "This kid is so whiny! He should just shut up! He hates everyone and everything and he never does anything and then he complains about it!" As far as I can tell, teenagers have loved this book since it was written. I suppose for that, and because it was well written, I'll award it a two. A friend once told me that I should give it a second chance, read it now that I'm older. I may try one day-- but not soon.

This book was way too different for me. I guess it sort of lost me when Marissa wanted Matt (her husband) to find a cradle that her mother had taken as she abandoned her father and herself years ago. Off he goes! I guess I just couldn't relate to this story-line. Then when Renee was introduced into the story, I really lost the thread of it. I'm glad that I kept reading, but I would not have picked up this story on my own. I just didn't get it. Oh well, marketing sells!

Học Vẽ Qua Nghiên Cứu Giải Phẫu Cơ Thể Người - Vẽ Chân Dung Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Seems like a flavor-fit for transit rides next week.. I like the crazy-family parts, the incipient intelligence coming to fore, the inner-Jewish-temple content, and the dry wit (if that's what it is), like this, about during the State Spelling Bee: "A misspoken letter is irreversible, the equivalent of a nervous tic during brain surgery." Ouch! One huge aspect of this story that bothered me is Saul not including Eliza in any Jewish Learning at all, no Bat Mitzvah, etc.. Brings up the time period - maybe it's set in the 70's? Saul's college days seem to be late 60's early 70's, so it seems it's got to be the 80's. And I don't know when things really changes, but as of the late 90's I know girls were all having Bat Mitzvah's, and not just the smart girls or anything. So that just kind of continually threw me for a loop. I guess the story works in some ways given that fact (Eliza's unfamiarity with Hebrew letters is a basic element of the later part of her journey), but it felt so bizarre and without any justification provided. That and some other touches did feel contrived, as others have said. Which, along with the extreme avoidance of conflict etc.. made it more unusual then would be optimally useful seemed to me. Really interesting commentary on identity formation, parental approval, and the relationship between the two. It shows situations at the far end of bad, but even so, the way the father, Saul (in particular) thinks about what he's doing with his kids is not that far off from how many/most middle-class parents think about such things, possibly. It doesn't give the 'instead, do this' accompanying content, which I miss, but I guess that would fall in the category of spoon-feeding, etc.. I guess for me the 'instead' is, um, unconditional love of who the kid actually is, and support of that person - especially when that person's process doesn't carry any parental rewards of identity validation etc.. Very chilling and absorbing and all. Reading it on my transit route currently was awful/perfect, as my route consists of 4 reading-segments of 6-10 minutes each, punctuated by movement. Echoed one part of what the characters in this book would be going through - the real world impinging on their chosen universe, and they're having to respond accordingly. I intensely disliked the ending at first (having no idea how it could end while approaching the last few pages, as so much is going on), but afterwards, forced to make peace with it (to the extent I wanted to have peace with it) I can see that it's relatively perfect. A person incorporating reality into their psyche and making the optimal decision for them based on that reality. Am very, very happy to be done with it.

Những Lá Thư Nhờ Gió Gửi Ai Đó Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Rules of Civility was the buzz book this summer at my internship. First, Penguin ran a really clever Twitter campaign inviting followers to invent their own rules of civility (my rule: Thou shalt not walk in the streets in NYC if thou art a tourist. Because you won't watch where you're going. And then you'll get hit by a cab.), then the book hit the New York Times bestseller list, and then my boss told me how much she loved it and how she thought I'd like it too. So, I took a glance at the jacket copy, and once I saw 1930s and New York City, I was sold. When it arrived at my library, I had to force myself not to crack it open immediately and finish the book I was already reading. With all the excitement, though, came wariness: would this book really live up to the hype? Within the first ten pages, the answer was clearly yes. Rules of Civility follows working class girl Katey Kontent through two years of climbing New York's economic and social ladder. It begins on New Year's Eve of 1937, and Katey and her friend Eve are at a bar in the Village, trying to stretch $3 as far as it will go. Enter Tinker Grey, a young and well-off gentleman who immediately captures the interests of both of the girls. They start spending time together, with the girls showing Tinker how they have a good time while low on cash, but all of that comes to a screeching halt when the three of them get into an accident and Eve is severely wounded. As the driver, Tinker feels responsible and nurses Eve back to health, and they begin a relationship. Katey copes with her wounded feelings by getting a new job and throwing herself into the hedonistic social scene of the idle rich. When Tinker and Eve break up, he and Katey start seeing each other again, but very soon afterwards, Katey learns that Tinker is not what he seems. Amor Towles is a brilliant storyteller who, I felt, truly captured the New York City of the 1930s. From the jazz clubs, to the big houses on Long Island, to the Conde Nast offices, each place was so perfectly atmospheric. I was also really fascinated by the aimlessness of the characters as they made their way through their upwardly mobile lives; it was almost Gatsby-like, only a bit more accessible for me because these people were my age and going through similar things. And I loved the way Towles swung back and forth between the rich kids and the bohemian crowd; the different personalities brought such color to the story and kept me reading. Some may be a little dissatisfied by the way things end. I admit that I would have liked a little more information about Katey's life, post-Tinker, but as the story is really about the two of them, I can see why the author would choose not to discuss it. I can't wait for this book to come out in paperback. I must own it!

Oh well, I won't finish this one, for sure... The first volume was ok, slowish but ok. This one is really too slow for me or err I don't know... Maybe in 10 years when there will be a new marketing campaign around the serie "The Girl Who" ;p

Tri Thức Bách Khoa Cho Thiếu Nhi - Những Cuộc Đời Vĩ Đại Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Barbara Taylor

I like Passion. ***** If it wasn’t for the time travelling scenes, I would’ve given Passion a 2. “She touched the side of Daniel’s face. “Is it love? Or is it just the curse that brings us together?” It’s love,” he gasped. “Don’t you know that?” Admit it, Daniel. Luce is an idiot. No girl in her right mind should question your love (and its depth) for her. So Luce jumped into an Announcer with the purpose of finding out the truth about their curse (and ending it) by visiting her past lives/relationships with Daniel. What supposed to be a quest for Luce to finally break the curse so she and Daniel can be together without consequences turned out to be the wick of a wicked chance for the greatest angel ever to fall from grace to destroy history. RAVES: 1. Lauren Kate finally decided to put Daniel’s POV in the story. I kinda like his journey more than Luce’s. 2. The power of Daniel’s love for Luce is overplayed, but nonetheless heartwarming. 3. I got to glimpse a snippet of Cam’s past life that turned him to join the other side. 4. Daniel’s journey to his past lives answered the questions that have bombarded me since book 1. He’s still mysterious, all right, but I’m not puzzled by his actions anymore. RANTS: 1. It wasn’t Luce who found a way to break the curse (surprise, surprise). 2. Everytime she meets Daniel in the past, she’s always “he’s so gorgeous” or “i want to feel his arms around me” or ” those violet eyes”. C’mon, Lauren Kate! I get it. Luce is one h*rny chick. 3. Luce is still a weak heroine. Imagine her travelling in different times and places but still whining how Daniel doesn’t love her enough, keeps secrets from her, maybe Daniel is not who she thought he was. Doubts, doubts, doubts! And to think that the author is selling the ‘true & eternal love across lifetimes’ idea here. 4. Whatever happened to the Outcasts? or Sophia and the Elder council? 5. It is still unclear to me how Luce & Daniel came to fall in love many lifetimes ago. For sure, Luce is no angel. But is she human with just a very beautiful soul that captured Daniel? Lauren Kate never did come around explaining that. 6. I still find it difficult to imagine how Daniel can be this very important fallen angel that he might tip the balance of the scale. He was only the Angel of Silent Watchers. Is that supposed to be a powerful role? 7. The reason that Daniel fell from heaven’s grace because of NOT choosing a side (from the inevitable war) is ludicrous. Angels fall because they want free will, is it not? Daniel did not choose heaven or hell, but he still fell and even got punished for it. I was surprised that Passion is not the final book, there is still book 4 (Rapture). Luce does not deserve Daniel, period. Do you want to read it? If yes, then read at your own risk. Fallen series got potential to be a great angel-themed YA series. Unfortunately, the story is inconsistent, the atmosphere is sappy and the heroine is still whiny for me. “I’ll love you with all my heart, in every life, through every death. I will not be bound by anything but my love for you.”
