Mỗi Ngày 1 Câu Danh Ngôn Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hoàng Thu Phố

I am a fan of the character Andreas Reichen.....ever since he entered the series..... A little tug, pull and drag in this edition of the Midnight Breed, but I didn't stop reading and the outcome as always was what I hope for........ The Order as Lucan notes is changing with the increase of Breedmates and it makes me cringe thinking who will die???

Who? Chuyện Kể Về Danh Nhân Thế Giới - Audrey Hepburn Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

I loved the first half of this novel. Una, the narrator, has a solid, true voice, and the book has an essence of the Gothic novels I read as a kid. But then, everything goes terribly, terribly wrong. The narrative loses momentum when Una is on Nantucket, waiting for her husband Ahab to come home. We, of course, know that he is dead. But she doesn’t. This goes on, and on and on, until finally she receives word of his death. Phew! Okay, so now we’re anxiously reading on to discover what happens next (and hoping the pace picks back up). But sadly, the novel turns from visceral to cerebral. Una begins cavorting with various historical characters, many of whom would have been in Melville’s own circuit. She meets Emerson, Thoreau, Margaret Fuller. I am utterly yanked from the dream. Do not yank me from the dream! (Has Naslund never read John Gardiner?) The topping on the cerebral cake is when Una happens upon the “minister” (Nathaniel Hawthorne) in the woods and has a lengthy conversation with him about the first line of one of his stories, the same line that Melville used as an epigram in Moby-Dick. By this point I no longer care about Una; instead I am wondering, where is Melville? How can Hawthorne, Emerson, Thoreau exist without Melville? I’m fully expecting old Herman to show up. In fact, I want him to. I’m already completely out of the dream anyway, so why not throw him in and stir things up even more? But no. Melville doesn’t appear, and Naslund tries to pull us back into Una’s story, even though we no longer believe in its reality or plausibility. The ending, too, is a complete groaner. Ugh. Such promise, such a let-down. Naslund seems more concerned with exorcising her literary knowledge and playing mind-games than with telling a good story.

Hiểu Về Trái Tim (Tái Bản 2016) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Minh Niệm

Fast-driving, high-heel wearing Mare is not your ordinary grandmother. Still, Tali and Octavia are less than thrilled to learn that they'll be spending the summer taking a cross-country road trip with her - that is until they start learning more about Mare's unique story of being in the Women's Army Corps during WWII. This story is split between the present and the past, with stories of Mare during the war intermingling with a narrative of the road trip as told by Octavia.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Andrew Gordon

Mostly I thought this series was just okay, primarily the 1st and 3rd book. It is the 3rd book that I loved and so I was glad I stuck with the series.

Cách Mạng Ý Tưởng Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Barry Nalebuff

"A real disappointment. Like most religious fiction, this tells us that all of life is a mystery and gosh aren't we stupid for not figuring it out. It presents us with a real life tragedy and then presents us with a god who not only doesn't care but it busy turning the crime scene into a laughing stock. I really have to wonder how anyone can call this spiritual? It presents us with a divinity so out of touch as to be offensive. This could almost be a parody of progressive christianity written by an angry fundamentalist." I wrote this when I read the book before in August. However, our church is using it for a book study, and I am so hungary for talk of books that I am attending. So how knows, I may change my attitude about this book or I may hate it even more. I read it a second time, and while I do see that I have a point, I do find the characters representing the trinity aren't as uncaring as before. I did find the book much more interesting the second time around. Now I do have flaws in the book. You can't on the one hand praise man for his independence but then clearly state that such independence has to go if man is going to be a true believer. You can't have it both ways. I think that the author wants to needle conservative religious types, while at the the same time throw them a bone. If the world and universe depends on a love that is givin freely, than how can the giving involve giving up your independence? There does seem some problematical elements here. Not the least is that ultimatly, it isn't as much about believing but about how helpless we are in the face of everything, and how that helplessness does to some extent carry on through the heavens. Now theologically, the whole notion that God can't love us without Christ really ignores a lot of the Old Testament. Hasn't God always laid out the promise of forgiveness if you chose to follow the right path? "Old Testament" theology is really one of many myths that surround the Bible and makes people who have read it shake their head. I think that Jesus' message is this, that God loves us and wants and can save every soul. That is truly good news. So I did disagree with a lot of the theology of this book, but I think a good book shouldn't confirm you in what you believe, it should create a dialouge, make you defend and clarify your beliefs.

7 Thói Quen Để Trẻ Trưởng Thành (Tái Bản 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Sean Covey

I'll admit - I'm totally hooked on knitting now, and it's for that reason that I've hardly picked up a book other than to read to my kids for the past month! Hopefully I'll soon learn moderation and join the literate world once more. But regardless, this little "how-to" book IS a great resource to have in one's knitting bag. Clear illustrations, good index, and compact!

Thẩm Thăng Y Truyền Kỳ Hệ Liệt - Ngân Kiếm Hận Thập Tam Sát Thủ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hoàng Ưng

Finally finished this book. McPhee does a great job talking about the geology of Northern California and the geologic history of California as it came together and grew against the western margin of the North American plate. Apparently this book is a best seller, but I'm not too sure how exciting of a read it would be to someone who isn't too familiar with geology or even locations in Northern California. I did find his descriptions of ophialite sequences (basically ocean crust material) found in California and Cypress helped lend support to the relatively young theory of plate tectonics. Towards the end of the book are many unpublished accounts of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, giving a hint of what San Francisco could be in for when the next large temblor decides to strike. Rather intense and humbling.
