Doğu Batı Arasında İslam - Aliya İzzetbegoviç ücretsiz kitap indir

Laura Kg feelyouraura — My second time to read this. My son was reading it for his modern novels class (last time my students had Reading Lolita in Tehran for a universal read). Nabokov does a good job of putting you in Humbert's skin (not a pleasant place to be). --the question my son's professor asked--Does reading Lolita corrupt you?--I don't think so. You understand his lust (and Nabokov directs it at a 12 year old girl!), but I don't think it makes us lust after 12 year old girls. I cannot imagine what it is like to have a gambling addiction. But after a novel by Nabokov about it, I bet I would have a better understanding of it. I hated Humbert after the first read. This time I had more empathy (but no sympathy). The Annotated edition is very good. Lots of stuff I would have missed. However you really need to read the whole thing through once before you check out notes.

Joel Navas fenixsppl09e6 — Yuck...there are so many things I didn't like about this book, I don't know where to begin. Lets start with characters: What's her name MC: She is one of the most fickle minded MCs I've ever had (dis)pleasure of reading. One min she is in Love (roll eyes) with this Peter guy she doesn't know squat about and is ready to run away with him. Then in the next min she is doubting him to be the wolf and turns him away. Then she lists out pros and cons of both Henry and Peter while dissing Peter and still claims to be in love with him (huh?) She thinks Peter takes what he wants and doesn't care about her happiness (not that he takes anything from her) while Henry was selfless (why is she in love with Peter again?)...and Again she changes her mind and thinks it "doesn't matter" if he is wolf (even if the wolf killed her sister) and then in the same page she is running away from him (in bonus chapter) all the while reminding herself it "doesn't matter" (sheesh make up your mind already). She talks to Peter whole of 3 times in the book. First one to say "hi" and second to make out with him and the third time to slam door on his face thinking he was wolf. Ick..how did she become MC? Now Peter: I have no-idea who he is...there isn't much character built for him. I suppose they tried to go for Mysterious, but failed utterly and he became unknown. Henry: Well I can't say I like him...or not like him. I guess he is nobody though he's got better role than Peter. One time he thinks he is different from others and the MC is different from others too. So they can be different together. Then next time he is brought up...he is declaring his love to the MC. This Love word has totally lost its value here if you ask me. MC's Mom: She seems very shallow and money minded...not to mention playing favorites with her daughters. Also if she loved and lost...don't you think she'd want her daughter to atleast be with someone she loves??? guess not with this mom. MC's Grandmother: Deliberately made to look suspecious though for no apparent reason except to throw us off (or so they thought) Not single character in this book had depth....all of them were pretty 2 dimentional. They were brought to fore ground and pushed back based on their necessity to look suspecious. If author thought she want to make someone look suspecious...she brings them and throws them off when she is done. MC doubts everyone including her own mom, grandmom, her love interest...everyone..except the real wolf ofcourse. What would you do if you see a big werewolf standing infront of you planning on making a lunch out of you??? you'd run right or freak? Nope not MC, she says "what big eyes you have"...ha ha. I was laughing my head off at this point. Then she has head injury and faints (I think), then she gets up and says "Mom I am going" and puts on red hood (ha) and a basket (of all things...why you ask??? no idea)...and heads out in the woods...may be we can chalk this up to her head injury :) Overall this was one of the worst books I've ever read. Now that I dumped all my un-pleasant thoughts about the book in here...may be I can forget I ever read this book (one can only hope).
