Great pictures from the dump in TJ. All these years and there is a picture book of the area why didn't I think about that?

I read this because it was the book picked by Mondy for March's Writer and the Critic podcast, on which I was the guest (which is full of spoilers for the book). It's kinda my sort of book... and kinda really not. I am a Shakespeare Fan. I love me some Bard. Not the comedies, though; I love the tragedies and the histories. Oh, and Much Ado, but that's a whole 'nother story (one involving Kenneth and Emma and Ben Elton and Michael Keaton and Keanu...). So, a book that alternates chapters about Will Shakespeare Greenberg, aspiring Masters student at UCal, with the late-teen years of William Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon, is in theory a very appealing one to me. And Winfield clearly knows (or got to know) his Shakespeare: there are allusions, and direct quotes, in I think every single chapter - and they all seemed effortless, too. I enjoyed the development of sixteenth-century Stratford. I'm not entirely convinced by man-whore Shakespeare, but I see the point from a narrative point of view, and it's not a completely ridiculous suggestion. Overall it was a reasonably interesting portrayal of his early adulthood. On the other hand, there was Will Greenberg. A book published in 2008 choosing the mid-1980s as its setting is kinda weird, although I understand why: Winfield was drawing (perhaps tenuous) connections between the persecution of Catholics by Elizabeth with the crackdown on drugs by the Reagan administration. The portrayal of a Masters student of literature was hugely stereotypical, sadly - although again I see the point from a narrative point of view, especially in terms of the drug use. It doesn't help the view of Arts students in general though, and the idea that marvellous ideas come in a flash of lightning or drug overdose is just annoying and unhelpful. It may be that I am a prude, but I got bored by the descriptions of drug use and the explicit sexual content; it got in the way of telling the story. So... not really my thing, actually. Certainly well written, in the early modern bits in particular; as a former history/lit student myself I found the brief discussion of literary theory, especially the bagging of New Historicism, pretty funny (I am a big fan of Stephen Greenblatt, one of the original proponents). But the characters weren't that engaging and the story wasn't that compelling.

Ehon - Thực Phẩm Tâm Hồn Cho Bé - Cây Sồi Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Akiko Kameoka

This book is a classic for a reason and that reason still holds up today and I'm so glad I found it this summer. Basicly just: the language, the characters and the conlcusions drawn make this a must-read for everyone, and even now I'm debating on whether I should change my rating to five stars but it stays at a four because I found some parts boring and I don't think it really takes off until Gastby shows up after which it is amazing but seeing as it is so short that counts for a big chunk of the book I didn't care for that much so there you go. Four stars. Read it at once.

Giữa Đôi Bờ Thương Nhớ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

I originally thought the Spanish conquest of Mexico was a cakewalk. I learned how wrong I was reading this book. The conquest was not so simple. Many times events almost happened to end the expedition . There were many battles and close calls. Things just happened to all end up falling into place , as no matter the reverse or hardship, Cortes found a way to triumph in the end. Luck seemed to have been on his side. Read this book, you will learn a lot. I decided not to go into great detail in this review, so as not to spoil the story.

Trong Thẳm Sâu Tâm Hồn Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Jacquelyn Mitchard

Ashley has spent the past four years in a juvenile detention facility for a crime she didn’t commit. What the professionals had diagnosed as epilepsy and delusions are actually the manifestations of her unique status: Ashley is at the mercy of an ancient power and as a result, she alone can see the grotesque, often frightening creatures that permeate our world. She’s learned the hard way to hide her knowing, convincing authorities that she’s under control. But Ashley is very aware that trying to go home risks everything – her family, her chance at freedom and, quite likely, her own life. Goshko’s portrayal of Ashley and her family demonstrates how well he understands his characters and their issues; he handles dialogue and group dynamics especially well. Similarly his style and technique is spot on as he writes in a clear, crisp voice that is very appealing and reads easily. It is apparent that the ancient back-story and mysterious dimension that Ashley visits are richly complex for the author but, sadly, the novel does not allow the reader to share nearly enough. Taken individually, everything is superbly rendered; the characters, events, interactions, and particularly the fantasy elements (with the exception of creature names, which are unwieldy) are very enticing. However as a whole, the novel lacks impact. It is very much like discovering an iceberg miles off while drifting at sea: based on the protruding tip, it seems that it must be majestic and wonderful underneath but there is little opportunity to discover if this is true. At every turn, plot events – both major and minor - are given so little exploration or are resolved so simply that it is impossible to become immersed in the experience. The Book of the Nine Ides is tantalizing with its technical excellence and delicious, finely crafted accessories, but ultimately the story holds the reader at arm’s length.

The Mason-Dixon line had a legacy through the civil war that erased its meaning during the manifest-destiny time of its creation. This evolution is a crucial example of the way history writes over itself; obscuring and burrying the past in a irreconcilable way. This book was genius. “Does Britannia, when she sleeps, dream? Is America her dream?"

Great book, unbelievable stories, and I guess this is what it's like to serve the rich and famous. I just couldn't help thinking: I hope Michael Fazio has a good lawyer, because who knows how many people are going to sue him for revealing their secrets now?

I loved the idea of this book, the story of Siamese twins, written as two individual voices intertwined. The girls are interesting, each unique beings in a way that is difficult to imagine, and their childhood is fascinating. But the writing wasn't nearly as strong, as lyrical, as I'd hoped it would be. Still, it was better than Half Life, the other Siamese twin novel published last year, which, while entertaining, was way too hip for its own good. For a much better take on Siamese twins in recent pop culture, watch the film Twin Falls, Idaho. Truly mesmerizing.

An interesting story, and I think she did a good job of straddling book and TV canon.
