The problem is that my edition (the Library of America one) is the COMPLETE Poe. 1400 pages of Poe. That is far, far too much Poe. If you took the very best stories and poems from here and put them in one edition, you would for sure have a five star book on your hands. But he was hardly the master of consistency and you're left with a mass of B and C material that bogs the whole thing down. Most of the stories are actually comedies and frankly I don't find Poe to be very funny. Also there's a sameness to the material that is especially tiresome. There are a shit-ton of hoax/travel stories presented as fiction all recounting similar details of travel with the same preface about how it's totally true and Poe is just the editor and blah blah it's just too much at once. The mysteries particularly annoyed me as they're just this giant mass of exposition and I suppose we're supposed to think the protagonist is oh so clever but half the clues aren't even given in the first place until they're brought up as part of the solution and it's all rather boring. The poetry is actually much more consistent. There's some weak early stuff, but it's all pretty solid. And the best stories (especially the Pit and the Pendulum) are fantastic. But go buy a small selected stories edition or something and leave this to Poe aficionados. Also an orangutan did it. A fucking orangutan.

inished up the book, Life of Pi, last week and overall I really enjoyed it. The story is about a young boy whose family decides to emigrate from India to Canada. The family owned a zoo in India and because they were travelling with some of the animals that they sold to zoos in North America they travel on a cargo ship. Initially the voyage is uneventful, but eventually it sinks and the main character, Pi, barely manages to escape to a life boat. At the same time that Pi finds his refuge a large bengal tiger finds safety in the same boat. A few other animals make it to the boat as well but with the tiger on board the dinghys crew quickly shrinks back to two, Pi and the Tiger. The rest of the book is about the voyage and survival of both Pi and the Tiger. The entire voyage is quite remarkable and seems fairly unbelievable - much like the stories of religion. I only mention this parallel because as it turns out Pi is also a very spiritual boy who considers himself Hindu, Muslim, and Christian. While that trifecta may seem like a strange combination Pi's logic makes it all seem entirely reasonable. One of the marketing blurbs for the book says "..a story that will make you believe in God.." I don't know if the spiritual message is that strong but, at a minimum it does get you thinking. Something that few books have managed to do to me in a long time. The book is pretty short, written in the first person (generally), and overall was an excellent tale. I give it a thumbs up

Damn. I should really wait for a while before reviewing this. I should really wait. But in the afterglow of finishing this it's everything in my power to not call this the greatest fantasy book ever written. If waiting on Martin's Song of Fire and Ice books are frustrating for most, having to sit around and wait for The Daylight War, is pure hell for me. Please, or please, hurry up Mr Brett. In a flash, this is the continuation of the previous, and first, book in this series, The Warded Man. The number of viewpoint characters is way more than the previous book, and each and every one of them are amazing. Some of the events of the previous book are retold through new eyes (in flashback) and a new character has arisen to claim the title of Deliverer. My stomach roiled at how events unfolded and I am afraid things will get much worse before they get better. I don't want to give away much though, besides, it's all a big blur for me right now anyway. Arlen, the man that some folks some believe is the prophesied Deliverer that will free the world of the demons that haunt the night, is surprisingly scarce in this book. Instead, this story is really one of the man who others look to as their hope for the future... a desert warrior that is invading the northlands with his army of followers with the intent of fielding an army to confront and destroy the demons that have plagued mankind for so long. Loved, loved, loved it. Can't wait for more. *UPDATE 4/25/14* I reread this book and wanted to write a second review, but I guess such a thing just isn't possible here on goodreads. So, whatever. I guess there will just be an update. This time through a few things stuck out to me. I couldn't understand some of the details on the culture (it seems that the Krasians give a dower to whomever they wish to marry, whether it's a man seeking a wife, or a mother seeking a husband for her daughter - I've a bit confused on what is supposed to happening, so I head scratched a bit) and I quickly fell back in love with this novel on reread. I was surprised at how much I recalled clearly after almost 2 years. I've probably read at least 150 novels since then, and this one is still pretty clear. I'm very impressed. Jardir's story as a youth is fantastic, and I enjoyed reading of his ascent to power as much as I did Arlen's in book one. I'm now waiting anxiously for, The Skrull Throne to hit shelves (hopefully in early 2015). I have struggled to connect with Arlen as the series has gone on, and sometimes wonder if Jardir will be shaped into the true deliverer at some point. Probably not, but I'd like to keep my options open. Well done, Peter V Brett. Honest word.

Cùng Con Khôn Lớn - Tập 1: Rèn Luyện Tính Cách Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

It is Michelle Alexander's experience as a lawyer which makes this such a successful piece. It is not novelty that makes this book so profound, but the authority upon which the argument is made: simple statistics and inarguable facts. In the very beginning, Mrs. Alexander states for whom this book was written: people who have a hard time convincing friends, neighbors and others that there is something oddly familiar with the current order. She has done this perfectly and thus I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a hard time convincing others that the current state of Blackamerica is not due to a mortal/cultural flaw, but instead stems from a perfect storm of institutional control that perhaps was initially well-intended, but at present insist upon maintaining a status quo that has decimated the African-American community and is doing the same to our Latino brothers and sisters. I was both vindicated and saddened in finding evidence from a lawyer in confirmation of my understanding that the United States Supreme Court, particularly the current make-up, has been a friend to the political and economic elite of this country, an enemy to the politically impotent masses and a main obstacle against any meaningful change in society at large. It was both shocking and appauling to see that the chief justices in the land acknowledging the existence of corrosive racism that has become inherent in the criminal "justice" system, while refusing to do anything but maintain the status quo since the only viable solution would be to dismantle the system - something which they deemed impossible. Once we reach that level of protectionism by the very same institution that is supposed to be the ultimate check on executive and legislative authority, what is left but a complete overhaul of the system - dare I say "revolution"? The only criticism I have is that in her initial summary of the chapter contents, she seems to often have simply copied key sentences word for word, which is rather annoying, but minimal (and easily forgotten). Stylistically, it made for a redundancy and the book perhaps would have been better off without any foreshadowing summaries at all (current and future authors take note). It has always been my person theory that most conspiracies are not concocted in smokey backrooms, but simply come into existence when particular interests converge and work towards the same goal in a previously established order. In short, what you have before you is the anatomy of just such a conspiracy and an uncomfortable reality that needs to be first acknowledged before we can ever begin to talk about social, racial and economic justice in the United States in any meaningful way.
