Duino Ağıtları - Rainer Maria Rilke ücretsiz kitap indir

Der Lou 132878267244ec1 — Really cool book in that I learned more facts per page than any book that I can remember in recent history. Loses a few points for sheer lack of punch, leaving me feeling as if I was reading more of a textbook than an interesting story and history of civilization. Kurlansky shows how central a role Salt has played in human history. That premise comes off as slightly underwhelming until you start the book. Next thing I knew I was learning about archeological evidence showing the Celtic empire of thousands of years ago, what the Egyptians ate, how Roman soldiers were often paid in Salt, and how many major cities throughout history are located where they are because of proximity to a salt source.

Dark Concepts darkcreations — K.L. Going is so fantastic! I listened to the audio book of this title and it was amazingly done. The characters are so well developed, the plot is unique and keeps the book moving, and, like all of Going's books, I laughed out loud and also held back some tears. Fat Kid Rules the World is the story of Troy, an 300 lb. teenager living in NYC. Troy is contemplating throwing himself in front of a subway train on day when Kurt McRae, somewhat of a local punk rock legend, speaks to Troy and saves his life. An unlikely friendship between the hesitant Troy and the manic, crazy, homeless, creative energy that is Kurt ensues. Before Troy knows it, Kurt somehow thinks that they are forming a band and that Troy will be the drummer! What follows is a moving and funny tale of friendship, self-confidence, and punk rock music. I really can't say enough good things about this book - I was so bummed when it ended becauase I really wanted to keep living in Troy's head. The biggest challenge for this book, I think, is getting teens to pick it up. For such a great book, it can be a hard sell to convince teens to read about fat kids and punk music (of course its about so much more than that). I love it though, so I'll keep singing its praises to teens who walk into my library.
