Twyla Thorpe provides a realistic glimpse of living a life fill with creativity. She emphasizes throughout, overtly and subtly, that creativity is not about being blessed with talent; it's about work, dedication, and a daily commitment to building your skills and respecting the process. I really appreciated that, unlike most biographies, she does not write with an underlying imperative that from birth creative talents are preordained for success. I also found helpful and interesting the examples she provided about how some artists have gotten their ideas.

Bissinger, acclaimed author of Friday Night Lights (see review), takes an eloquent and in-depth look at the nuances of St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa's job by following the Cards through the 2003 season and then specifically chronicling an important three-game series with the arch rival Cubs. Bissinger has an amazingly intimate view of the players, clubhouse, and storyline in a remarkable period of Cardinal history with a storied manager (one of my childhood heroes while he was in Oakland). That said, Bissinger sometimes gets carried away with his flowery language and suddenly sounds like a stilted baseball outsider, just looking to drum up drama where none exists. Lastly, Bissinger is something of an antithesis to the Michael Lewis "Moneyball" school of baseball, with intentional comments whose ignorant tone undermine his credibility. I'd cautiously recommend this book to a serious baseball enthusiast or Cardinals fan, and few others.

My favorite experience reading this book aloud to a group of children: After I was done, I told them that when they are older, they may want to read the continuing story of the animals, in a book called "Animal Farm". I made the teacher snort. Hee

To be humble
Neversuch House. A curious location, home to the Halibut family who live in a cloistered existence from the world outside. Everyone's pretty much fine with that until one day Omnia Halibut finds herself involved in a series of extraordinary events. Hear that? She's involved in Extraordinary Events. You'll hear it several times during the book as the text can't quite resist telling you that there are Extraordinary Events going on and you should pay attention to them because they are Extraordinary Events (they're Extraordinary, don't you know?). I can't help but wonder how this was let through the editing process as all it did was make me think of a Series of Unfortunate Events - the Lemony Snicket books. A comparison is inevitable when the narrator keeps blinking banging on about Extraordinary Events and it's a comparison that sadly Neversuch House tends to lose. And that's a shame because this book could have been a lot better. The conceit that there's this family which exist quite happily in isolation from the world is ripe for exploration. It could have led to something quite dark and intriguing but it doesn't. The house itself and the location is splendidly gothic and weird with hidden towers, rooms and mysteries everywhere. This could lead to so much but unfortunately we're just told about it and left with the distinct impression that this is all building up for a series of sequels. So if they do become a series; less of the arch narration and self conscious style please? If you're going to be a fairytale, or a gothic fairytale, or a genre mashup hithertofore unseen; be it wholeheartedly. Because I think this is the problem. It is, as my Northern side would describe it, neither nowt nor summit. Neversuch House doesn't know what it wants to be. There are some glorious moments in it and some very visual moments that are a delight but they're rare. In between these moments is a lot of huff, a lot of puff and it's in these moments, the chapter upon chapter of padding and self-gratification that Neversuch House falls right down.

OPINIA Z 5 WRZEŚNIA 2011 Po ostatnich książkach, jakie miałem okazję przeczytać, zacząłem szukać czegoś lekkiego, ale przyjemnego zarazem. "Harry Potter i..." to seria książek, która od pierwszej klasy gimnazjum trzymała mnie w napięciu, jednak jeszcze nie znalazłem odwagi zacząć siódmej, ostatniej części przygód młodego czarodzieja. Pamiętam, jak czytałem szóstą część, że miałem niemałe problemy z odnalezieniem się pomiędzy postaciami drugoplanowymi. Kwestią był czas wydawania poszczególnych tomów. Czytając na bieżąco (i nie po kilka razy, jak fanatycy), można stracić niektóre wątki. Z tego powodu recenzuję "Kamień Filozoficzny", a nie "Insygnia śmierci". Zaczynam czytać od początku sagę o Potterze, nie znając jeszcze zakończenia. Pierwszy raz zacząłem czytać ten tom gdzieś w pierwszej gimnazjum. Wtedy jeszcze nie wiedziałem, za co się zabieram. Z ambony nie krzyczeli, dzieci nie wariowały, media nie podjudzały. A ja podczas choroby, po cichutku zabrałem się za konsumowanie jednej z ciekawszych książek dla młodzieży. I niestety zakończyłem czytanie w najgłupszym momencie, w tym rozdziale, gdzie jadą pociągiem. Natłok lektur (które czytałem za wszelką cenę), spowodował, że musiałem odpuścić sobie czytanie książek, które chciałbym dokończyć, na rzecz tych wymuszanych przez nauczycieli. Dopiero rok później dowiedziałem się, że gdybym przeczytał wtedy jeszcze jeden rozdział (gdzie zaczynają się zajęcia w szkole), nie odstąpiłbym od tej książki za żadną cenę. To była jedna z najlepszych powieści, jakie czytałem (a czytałem dużo). Zwroty akcji, pomysł, ale przede wszystkim umiejętność utrzymania czytelnika przy lekturze. Nie była to infantylna historyjka typu "Casper i przyjaciele", ale nie była to też nudna książka dla młodzieży, udająca, że jest czymś więcej, jak np. opowieści Gartha Nix'a. I po dziesięciu latach zasiadłem znów do lektury. Spodziewałem się lekkiego zawodu, że będąc już znacznie starszym, zacznę wykręcać gałami podczas czytania niektórych rozdziałów, że zepsuję sobie urok wypracowany lata temu. Ale nic się takiego nie stało! Znając historię wcześniej, nie mogła mnie już tak zaskoczyć, jak za pierwszym razem. Sprawiało mi jednak przyjemność odszukiwanie sposobów, w jaki autorka manipuluje czytelnikiem i narzuca mu swoje opinie. Książka jest fantastyczna! Zarówno w treści, jak i w jakości. http://majinfox.blogspot.com/
Travel to a to a place that is like Venice.
I'll admit it. I read it because I loved the movie. I also loved the book, though its wit has a particular dryness absent from the film, which may be attributable to the film's Americanization of Hornby's humor. In fact, the book seems to access something the film does not... perhaps a deeper, more beautiful melancholy for which the film subsitutes a sort of retrospective, drunken nostalgia for life's more miserable moments. Hornby's poeticism, in its surprisingly charming way, shines brightly... illuminating the humanity of his characters and their painfully familiar encounters with loss.
