Để Luôn Đạt Điểm 10 – Chuyển Động Và Năng Lượng Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Our book club read this aloud last night. It is only about 50 pages long. And, even knowing what the story was about, we were riveted. We liked reading aloud so much that we're looking for other short stories, novellas. Any suggestions?

First Line: The door creaked open as the maid stepped into the room. The year is 1856, and the London elite find themselves gripped by the craze of collecting specimens. Expeditions are being sent to far-off jungles to gather the known and the unknown. Combine this addiction with the new theories of evolution that are changing the ways people think about themselves and the world around them, and a potentially explosive situation is being created. Glamorous Lady Bessingham prides herself on being ahead of all her friends in anything from fashion to the latest scientific discoveries. She's the recipient of letters from Benjamin Broderig, a young man just recently returned from an expedition to Borneo. When Lady Bessingham is found murdered and those letters stolen, Medical Jurisprudence adviser Adolphus Hatton and his assistant Albert Roumande, are called in to examine the crime scene. The new world of forensics and autopsy examinations are viewed with suspicion, but Scotland Yard has found Hatton and Roumande capable of very useful observations. However, they've barely begun when one murder turns into a series of them-- all with those letters at the heart. I can always be tempted with a good historical mystery, especially one featuring the beginnings of forensic science. In Devoured, Meredith's setting and time period are extremely well done. I felt as though I were right in the middle of Victorian London, and the author's building tension through a creepy, gloomy atmosphere was quite effective. Unfortunately, too many other elements were uneven and confusing. Although we're told what marvels Hatton and Roumande are at interpreting crime scenes, we see very little of it. If you're a CSI fan and want to read a book with quite a bit of detail about your favorite science, you're not going to find it here. In addition, Meredith gives just enough information about her two main characters to make them intriguing. Very little about the two, their backgrounds or motivations, is actually shared with us, which made it difficult to empathize with either of them. As I read, I kept feeling that this book would have benefited from more editing. The narrative often felt very disjointed-- a character would be doing something and I'd wonder "How did we get here?" A secondary thread involving the murders of prepubescent girls really wasn't necessary; it deflected attention away from the "Borneo letters" murders and would have been better used as the focus of a separate book. While I'm on the topic of those letters, people are being murdered left and right because of them, but guess what? The letter writer himself is in London. Why were no attempts made on his life? Although I did find this book a bit muddled, I can also see that, as a series, it does show considerable promise. It will be interesting to see what Meredith does with the second book in the series, The Devil's Ribbon.

The novel Sula by Toni Morrison is a very entertaining book to read. It is a story about two friends Sula and Nel who grow up together in a poor black neighborhood. But as the grow up Sula starts to change and do things behind Nel back that would break there relationship forever. I found this book to be very interestin to read I couldn't put it down it kept drawn me in and made me want to read more and more. The way Morrison writes in this is incredible. She uses words in a way that other author wouldn't and it gives readers a mental image in there head. I would recommend this book to any one who enjoys a story about best friends that grow up and go there separate ways.

Dám Tha Thứ (Tái Bản 2016) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Edward M. Hallowell

I started reading this book about three or so months after the second so i compleatly forgot who everyone but Harry was. Well no thats a lie. For a moment i was confused between Harry Dreden and Harry Potter. But luckly i have the other two books on hand to remind me that Harry Potter is a movie star cum whiny kid and Dresden is awesome. Grave peril gets off to a good start with a high speed chase/race to a hospital and then Harry and Micheal (a modern knight with a sword) fighting a ghost in a maternity ward. This is the most awesome opening ever. Read it while lissening to the ghostbusters theame tune on a loop. You will love yourself for doing such an awesome thing. Then give me 10cent because i sugested the idea. I dont do this for free ya know! Anyway this book has everything any modern Wizzard detective book needs. Which means it has, A knight in service to god, A dragon, a pregnat woman, vampires, ghosts and of course magic. I belive this book the best of the four ive read to date. The twists and turns keep you on your toes and the spectacular ending really grabs the imagination, kinda like the way those eletric paddels restart a stopped heart in ER. What I learned from this book ...That id really like a full suit of armour if i was walking into a vampire party. Also that i shouldnt drink anything at said party.

Trở Về Từ Cửa Tử Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Betty J. Eadie

As Asimov kept writing Foundation shorts, they kept getting longer. There are actually only two stories in this volume, and the second is significantly longer than the other. For this reason it really dominates the read, and so I'll focus on it. The whole premise of psychohistory and the Foundation is to use mathematics to predict a macroscopic view future, and then use those predictions to make a macroscopic plan of how to (with some known and less than 100% probability of success) steer the future in a desired direction. The problem with this is that it can't account for microscopic events (and in particular *random* ones) that might alter the course of history. So Asimov throws Hari Seldon one heck of a screwball in the form of a megalomanical telepath known as the Mule--a genetic aberration (not predictable by psychohistory!) with designs on taking over the galaxy. Since Seldon is long dead, it's up to the heroes of the day to figure out how to deal with it and keep the Foundation on course. The Mule is a reasonably well-drawn character, and that coupled with the usual guts of any Foundation story make this a solid read.

Nietzsche is a complete bastard, but his German is beautiful, and this book is written line-for-line in both English and German, making it a great book to practice your language skills without a dictionary.

I read this book mainly for the section about kitsch; it ended up being my least favorite (although this may be because I had such high hopes for it.) Still I give this book five stars as it is informative and well written. It is definitely worth revisiting.
