With the best books, you pick them up, and you know after a few sentences, this is going to be a good one. Laura Elliott's YA book Winnemucca is pure poetry. Adults will devour this book as much as any younger readers. I found myself slowing down to breathe in the beauty of the words, sometimes reading aloud, to better try and catch the rhythms of the beautiful and unique back-country voice of this narrator, Virginia Mae Nolyn: "When the convict slipped back into the circular crowd, I grabbed a handful of San Joaquin soil and swirled the fingers of my free hand in the little mound of dirt in my palm. I touched my soil-stained fingers to my heart and became a Child of the Road." The story is not complicated, but Virginia Mae's stubborn mind sure is. Running away from her own impending marriage, she has found out that the thing she hates the most is to be managed. She is learning to listen to the impulses that "bubble up inside" and continually reminds herself, especially when the going gets tough, "One foot in front of the other." Her birth-mother is in Winnemucca, so Ginny is not just running away from something. She is on a quest to find her mother and connect, for the first time. To claim the things that have been denied her. She takes us with her on her harrowing, sometimes dangerous, always breathtaking road-trip, allowing the reader to eavesdrop on every moment of the gorgeously conflicted consciousness of a seventeen-year-old rebel. There is irony in the fact that the largest employer in her hometown is a federal prison, and half the town population lives within its walls. At one point, Ginny stands just outside the prison fence, looking in: "A convict paused inside the chain-link with his hands on his hips. I let go of the prison sign, dropped to my feet and stood ramrod straight, as different from the wimpy oats as possible. We stared at each other. Him in his prison. Me in mine. We both knew what kept us walking in circles." The writing is self-assured, powerful, and poetic. Her journey to Winnemucca is Ginny's road to self-discovery, out of her own personal prison of ignorance and self-delusion. From her website I saw that Laura Elliot has another book coming out in a few months. I predict a wide following for this author if the next book is anywhere near as good as Winnemucca. Winnemucca is a newborn classic.

Ma Trận Án - Tập 1 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hà Mã

I struggled to undertand why Ernest Hemingway is considered such a great american author. But I am starting to understand. It is not because his stories are amazingly interesting. Most of his characters are un-likeable at best, but they are struggling. They break down at times, but continue living. Basically they are realistic. I really enjoyed this book. Bill is my favorite character, if only we were all like Bill. This book really demonstrates the dangers of the fool game of love.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone – Slytherin Edition (20th Anniversary Editions - Paperback) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: J.K. Rowling

Man I love Black Hole, though it always makes me feel really really terrible. After the first time I read it, I was convinced I was the worst person in the world, for no real reason. I even started writing a zine about. The second time I read it, I thought to myself "I wonder if this will affect me weirdly again." and it did, though it wasn't quite as extreme. I just felt really uneasy and wanted to yell stuff out loud in the library. This has nothing to with the book tho, which is set in the mid-seventies in Seattle, where a strange STD that turns teens into mutants is spreading around. The infected kids live in huts in the woods, and it's really creepy and affecting, PLUS you can see where Daniel Clowes got a lot of his supernatural shit from. First time I read this, I was actually kinda disillusioned with Clowes, cos he kinda draws EXACTLY like Charles Burns, but I've since gotten over that. While Charles Burns does the supernatural B-movie type stuff better, Daniel Clowe's is definitely much better with characters and real life stuff. Tangent over. Review over.

It's very inquisitive on what is real or what is really before our eyes in which we cannot see. It has a very good point on what could really be out there, or what people may seem to be but aren't. What do you think is real? What can you see? What do you imagine?

Những Cuộc Cách Mạng Của Đức Giáo Hoàng Phanxicô Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

I read this book for a college class (one of the few I made it the whole way through) and I remember being shocked at liking it. The book is so far outside of my usual genre base that I assumed I could only dislike it. Not so. I found the tale of climbing Everest (and the ensuing disaster) to be absolutely riveting and Krakauer's way of relating it easy to follow, even for the uninitiated among mountain climbers. It got me thinking about doing something as astounding as climbing Mt. Everest... for about 2 seconds... and then I regained my sanity.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lục Xu

a gem from palahniuk, choke focuses on a character who's addicted to sex - and frequents sexaholic's anonymous meetings in order to meet women. i personally can't think of a more entertaining concept for a book. if you're looking for an off-the-wall, highly entertaining (albeit unrealistic) work of fiction, palahniuk's your man. i highly recommend this book.

This is the romantic tale of an English lass and an Highlands laird. The story reminds me of those classics by Kathleen Woodiwiss... AND... I didn't want the story to end. This is a not-to-be-missed book by Julie Garwood.

REREADING NOTES Got to go out of town suddenly and felt something spiritual should make it into my book bag. Note - first thought when I'm called on to go somewhere suddenly - what books will I take? True. Looking for something light also I came across this which I recall really loving. I think it is the perfect book for my situation at the moment. We shall see ... Update: It was the perfect book. Well worth rereading and I got a lot out of it this time around. ========== Original review below. ========== I received and read this before Archbishop Dolan was assigned to New York and began receiving so much attention. However, having read this book I felt sure that New York City was receiving a good shepherd. In To Whom Shall We Go, we are reminded of all St. Peter's strengths, weaknesses, joys, and sorrows. In short, we are shown his humanity as he follows Jesus in the Gospels and Dolan points out how our own natures are reflected in therein as well. This is a simply fantastic book and I say that as a person who has never been particularly interested in St. Peter. Here is a very brief excerpt from the section reflecting on Luke 5:4-11 when Peter has been fishing all night and Jesus tells him turn right around, to "put out into the deep" again and let down his nets. Dolan touches on so much more tangents in examining the theme of Jesus challenging us to "put out into the deep," but this bit has stuck with me for a long time so I share it with you. I remember once seeing the late Cardinal John O'Connor surrounded by reporters on TV, being hammered with questions about his opposition to a plan for the widespread distribution of condoms in public schools to curb AIDS and teenage pregnancy. One of the reporters stuck a microphone in Cardinal O'Connor's face and said, "Cardinal, you're expecting an awful lot from people, especially our young people, in thinking they can control themselves. That's an awfully high standard. Isn't it just better to admit that people can't live up to this so they have to take precautions? Do you know what the Cardinal replied? "Oh, no," he said to the reporter, "The whole world is saying to our young people, 'Be good, but -- wink, wink, -- we know you can't, so at least be careful.' Somebody has got to say, 'Be good; I know you can be,' and that has to be the Church." Duc in altum: "Put out into the deep."
