Sadly I read this book on the recommendation of a good friend. It was a good story with great plot, but if you want to read it, then watch out. It's full of smutty grossness that pops out of seemingly nowhere. And sadly it never seemed to have anything to with the plot and didn't progress the story at all. Also ever smutty thing was described in the utmost detail as if I needed to know that. Reading this book is one of the main reasons that I joined this site. I don't want to read books like this but sadly best sellers are all that anyone ever recommends and they rarely have any redeeming qualities.

The story of World War I told from a variety of fictional perspectives: An English aristocrat, a Welsh miner, a German diplomat and spy,Russian peasants, and an aide to the American president. This 1000 page tome is interesting to read, but has so many characters and plot lines that at times, I had trouble keeping them straight.

L'Amour has created an awesome hero in Texas Ranger Chick Bowdrie. I wish my wife would have let me name one of my kids after him. Well, that might go a little too far, but Ranger Bowdrie is as cool as they come. Two good western short stories that took no time at all to listen to in the car on my morning/evening commute.

این اثر بزرگ جویس در زبان فارسی سرنوشت عجیبی داشته. بار اول تکه هایی از آن توسط ابوالحسن نجفی ترجمه شده و اگر درست بخاطر داشته باشم در کتاب هفته به چاپ رسیده است. بعدها دیگری که نامش را بخاطر ندارم، دست به ترجمه ی اولیس زد که اتفاقی نیفتاد. گویا ربیعی اولیس را بصورت کامل ترجمه کرده و بعدن در ممیزی یا هرچه که اسمش را می گذارید، مانده و هرگز منتشر نشده است. زبان جویس، زبان مشکلی ست و اولیس مشکل ترین اثر جویس است. تعداد کمی از ایرانیان اولیس را خوانده اند. با وجودی که سه بار در سه دوره ی مختلف، بخش هایی از جویس را خواندم، موفق به اتمام آن نشدم تا سال های اقامت در هند، دوستی انگلیسی زبان یاری ام کرد تا اولیس را به پایان ببرم. تازه دریافتم که خواندن اولیس، نیاز به اطلاعات وسیعی در مورد کتاب مقدس، اساطیر یونان و اروپا و... دارد، در عین حالی که نوعی درس زبان انگلیسی هم هست. بنابراین خواندن اولیس، پنجره های بسیار دیگری را هم به روی من باز کرد.

Yep, I'm in love with this series. Good plot, good characters, and I'm trying hard to wait for my books to get to the library instead of buying them all on Amazon. It's hard.

The only piece of the Twilight tetralogy that's any good. Meyer manages a surprisingly good balance between the evil vampire suspense and the romantic triangle tension. She also involves her cast of vegetarian vampires more and fleshes out a couple of her characters with a bit of depth, something horribly missing from Meyer's mythology. However, it's sad that I'm more attached to her third tier characters than I am her heroine and hero. It was finally nice to have a well-paced, deeper story. Too bad this was the height of the series.
It was very good at first, both characters are endearing, Tom is the typical nerd, uses awful big baggy clothes and has almost zero confidence, Cal is a slut at the beginning, but he's not an asshole, and turns around pretty quickly, he never lies and as the story progresses became my favorite character, but as other people have said it drags a little too much with Tom insecurities, still I liked it pretty much =)
"The Dark Country" was Dennis Etchison's first collection of short stories, and originally appeared back in 1982. This reader picked up an out-of-print copy recently, after seeing that it had been included in Jones and Newman's excellent overview volume, "Horror: 100 Best Books." Well, I don't know if I would place it on MY personal top 100 list, but this book certainly is a unique collection of shuddery, gruesome little tales. Readers looking for horror stories depicting monsters, ghosts, demons and other manifestations of the supernatural would be best advised to look elsewhere; the only monsters in this volume are of the human kind, and the only demons are those found in the minds of the assorted oddball characters. These are all very much (post)modernistic stories, and there are no crumbling castles or Carpathian villages to be found. Some of the tales even take place in the not-too-distant future, and have a decidedly sci-fi overtone. Without exception, every story herein is a distinct little gem, but like gems, some of them are flawed. For me, these flaws take the form of either too much or not enough information. In some of these tales, such as "You Can Go Now," Etchison gives us loads of detail, and at the story's end, it all seemingly doesn't add up to very much. In others, such as "Today's Special," one feels that not enough has been supplied to fully "get" the story. Etchison is a very stylish writer--sometimes almost too stylish--and that flashy style often comes at the expense of clarity. Often, these stories must be reread in order to pick up on hints missed on the first go-round. Or perhaps one will feel compelled to reread lines, just to revel in the frequent beauty of the writing. Etchison certainly does have a handy way with a simile; for instance, when he writes "...the sky...was turning a soft, tropical orange of the kind one expects to see only on foreign postage stamps." Or when he writes "The river smelled like dead stars." Yes, the ol' boy certainly does know how to write descriptive and imaginative prose, and in MOST of the cases here, that prose is in the service of tales that do hit the reader squarely. One of my favorite tales in the collection is one of the most straightforward: "Daughter of the Golden West." It concerns a bunch of gals who are decidedly, um, man hungry. There is a loosely linked trilogy of tales concerning organ transplants (these are the tales that tend to sci-fi) that are also very well done. Other tales in the book will make readers never look at butcher shops, or salesmen, or clairvoyants, or oral sex, or laugh tracks, or late-night convenience store clerks in quite the same way ever again. For every head scratcher of a story in the book, there are two killers. So yes, the book is a mixed bag of sorts, but even the problematic tales hold one's interest and invite reexamination. After finishing these 16 morbid little stories, I was sorry to see the book end. Etchison's is certainly a unique voice in the horror field, and if other readers have a similar reaction to mine, they will feel compelled to read more of him. This is, as I mentioned up top, an unusual collection, and I do recommend it.

I know, it's supposed to be amazing and a masterpiece etc. I don't get it.
** spoiler alert ** The crime: someone murdered Fyodor Karamozov, the wanton, irritable, and sadistic patriarch. The punishments: Smerdyakov, the illegitimate son, committed suicide after killing his father. Dmitri, the eldest son, passionate and immoderate like his father, whom the court found guilty of the murder, was condemned to Siberia. Ivan, the second son, who was “enlightened” and rational, struggled with the guilt of convincing his half-brother Smerdyakov that since God didn’t exist, everything, including patricide, was permitted. But as the dying monk Zosima had revealed and Dmitri soon realized, everyone was complicit in and thus implicated for the crime, since, for Dostoevsky, the web of sin entangled young and old to the extend that even children suffered from their peers’ sadism. Through his dream of the hungry and suffering children, Dmitri realized his guilt in the desire, that mustard seed in his mind, to kill his father and therefore willingly took upon the punishment for the crime he didn’t commit. In doing so, he assumed a Christ-figure, accepting punishment for another’s crime. The Legend of the Grand Inquisitor revealed Ivan’s enlightened rationalism for a humanistic dystopia, the socialist utopia that Dostoevsky condemned. Only when, in a hallucination, the “devil”--Ivan’s dark side-- revealed the parable of the learned atheist and thus rationalism’s arid futility did Ivan realized his guilt in rationalizing patricide and prodding Smerdyakov to commit it. And Smerdyakov, who mirrored Ivan’s unconsciousness and who carried the latter’s reasoning to the logical conclusion, like Judas, would not have the chance to repent or atone for his crime. In the end, Dmitri assumed his punishment. Through the tormented consciousness of Dmitri, Ivan, Smerdyakov and other characters, Dostoevsky grabbled with morality in an enlightened but Godless world, a world that he could not accept.
