The Picture of Dorian Gray actually caught my eye when I was searching Goodreads looking for an outside reading book. It had generally high ratings and good reviews, so it seemed attractive. The only thing that gave me doubts was the genre of the book, which I researched, gothic horror fiction, but I’m open to new things. The Picture of Dorian Gray starts off with an artist, by the name of Basil Hallward, painting a picture of an incredibly wealthy and handsome man, Dorian Gray. Lord Henry Wotton, a friend of Dorian, corrupts Dorian as he warns him of his fading beauty. Soon Dorian Gray sees his picture and wishes that the picture would age instead of him, much like selling his soul for eternal life. He soon begins hedonist type of quest as pleasure seems to be the only thing to live for. When the picture ages for the first time, due to causing the death of a former lover, Dorian is hesitant in participating in more wrongdoings, but it soon begins to consume him. He forgets his true friends and character, such as Basil, and eventually kills him leading to his own death. His guilt soon catches up with his as he struggles to repent for his sins, trying to renew his portrait back to its original form. But he has already gone too deep in his hole to climb or be pulled out and he eventually gives up when realizing that there is no way to repair the portrait. The theme of this novel is that beauty is not true beauty. Dorian was easily convinced to believing that he must live his life to its fullest before his beauty disappeared. This led to his unending quest to receive as much pleasure as he could for himself rather than others. All his relationships deteriorate and he forgets what was truly important to him until he can’t get it back. Oscar Wilde did an amazing job in creating long descriptions which fit with the plot and overall setting of the novel. Most, if not all, his descriptions are filled with darkness and lurking evil, as if he was describing Dracula’s castle. This gave me a sense of flow in the book because everything connects and somewhat freaked me out. The only thing which really bored me was the long drawn-out monologues of some of the characters. I would recommend this book to everyone, especially if they’re goth-like and because it is just a really interesting novel. Although I can’t exactly relate to it, it is very interesting and shined some light on a topic which I never really paid much attention to. It is definitely one of those books that stick out because of its very unique plot.

I picked this up after reading "Lucky" but didn't get through it. Maybe it was too soon after reading the first book which was quite heavy.

Oh, so close! When I pick up a book called "A truck goes rattley-bumpa," I expect to say such a whimsical phrase at least 10 times. No repetition of the title. What could have been a fun sounding book turns into a: "This truck does this, this truck does that"

Nhật Ký Chú Bé Nhút Nhát - Tập 9: Kỳ Nghỉ Thảm Khốc Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Jeff Kinney

Cold Comfort Farm was a perfect book for me for its combination of wry humor and tongue-in-cheek pastoralism, but might be a bit toward left-field for the average reader. Unless you've read a lot of Thomas Hardy (or are, like myself, presently living on a farm with a bunch of real characters!), you probably won't get this book. On the other hand, the protagonist is riot! She's smart, witty, and wholly unflappable. She's feminine without giving herself completely over to the "happily-ever-after" ending. Above all else, she is practical, which is so refreshing, what with all the goopy drama of most female-driven novels. Definitely a classic, but one would do well to read Lynne Truss's intro for a little background on the book.

this was totally not what i expected it to be. i flew through it, mainly because i just couldn't put it down. i think that it would have meant a lot more to me personally had i read it in high school, so that i could identify more with the main character. i still really enjoyed it, though.

Chế Độ Dinh Dưỡng Cần Thiết Cho Trẻ Từ 6 Tháng - 10 Tuổi (Tái Bản 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

I was a Goodreads First Reads winner of this book and I was fortunate to have this book land in my possession. First, I appreciate that the author is writing about something he knows first hand about. (I get upset when people write or talk about something they have never experienced.) I felt Marlantes' experience was explained appropriately and held my attention without being over the top in bloody details. Second, I want to thank all veterans who have served our country in the past and pre-thank all of those who are currently serving. Third, I think this book should be a required read for every American. Whether war is justified or not, moral or not, I think you can divide Americans into two groups. Those who serve in some type of military capacity, and those who do not. Those who know what it truely is like and those that do not (and, often have no interest in those that do.) I applaud Karl Marlantes in his efforts to bring awareness to everyone about what can and should be done better. I think it was Oprah or Dr. Phil who always says "when you know better, you do better".... Sending better prepared "warriors" to war and transitioning the returning warriors into society sounds logical and pretty simple. So I guess it comes down to making his ideas a priority and a reality. As much as I don't want to believe it, war is here to stay. I have friends and relatives who are "mentally" broken from their time served and it is heart breaking to know that the correct help was not available when it should have been. Karl Marlantes has left me with many ideas and thoughts. I know that I will be having many future conversations regarding the material he covered. A four star rating for sure!
