Sansürsüz Çanakkale - Ellis Ashmead Bartlett itibaren İz Yayıncılık içinde LIT biçim

Phoebe Chung _hoebe_hung — I read this and other Doonesbury books with great interest when I was pretty young. Now I get more of the jokes. I also remember how "grown up" these comics were--but now I see that Trudeau was still sort of a young punk when he drew them

Carlos Eduardo _arlos_einales — I don't think I've ever, EVER said this before, but the TV show was much, MUCH better. The book was OK, but not great. I'm not sorry I read it, and I knew going in that it was not the same as the series. I liked the book, but the writers of the series added greater depth, mystery, and parallel story lines... so reading the book after seeing the TV series felt a little flat. I think I would have enjoyed the book more had I read it first. *Always* read the book first! :)

Jack Smith jsmithcreative — Overall, I liked the plot of the book. However, fould that the story was poorly developed and I was unable to connect with the characters. The writer failed to emphasize points of the character's lives I felt were important to the story.

Katrina Zahniser ztoadesigns — This was an amazing story. I love the charecters. It is really a good way to find who you really are. "If you want to have sweet dreams, You've got to live a sweet life." Loyd, Animal Dreams

Rhaoni Ruckheim _haoni — Gogol is a 1st-generation American, born to Indian parents. This story explores how he grows up, feeling like he doesn't belong with either Bengali or American culture. I loved this book and will definitely read her others, including the well-known "Interpreter of Maladies" that I have not yet read. This would make a great movie. :)

Justyna Bielecka jabielecka — As usual, I am a bit behind the times. For lent, our church chose to read Creating True Peace: Ending Violence in Yourself, Your Family, Your Community, and the World by Zen Buddhist Thich Nhat Hanh. Well that was during March and April, and while I did read *most* of the book back then, I am finally finishing the last chapter now. Believe me, it was an interesting process reading and discussing a book by a Zen Buddhist with a group of very Maine Congregationalists. When we first picked up this book, I have to admit I groaned a little. Great. This is going to be another of those books that tells you about how you have to fix yourself before you can fix anything else in the world. Which it was. But I found it helpful in a number of ways. Two in particular: 1. Cultivating Seeds This is an analogy my mother used all the time when we were young. "What kind of seeds are you planting? Hitting seeds or sharing seeds?" Thich Nhat Hanh opens his book with a discussion of how we can choose which "seeds" we water in ourselves. (Once again proving that my mother's homespun wisdom is often right up there with the top philosophers and thinkers of our time.) ...our mind is like a garden that contains all kinds of seeds: seeds of understanding, seeds of forgiveness, seeds of mindfulness, and also seeds of ignorance, fear, and hatred. We realize that, at any given moment, we can behave with either violence or compassion, depending on the strength of these seeds within us. Thich Nhat Hanh spends the rest of the book discussing how to cultivate the seeds of compassion. The more we practice compassion, the more it will become a habit, a natural state. Likewise, the more we practice anger, our anger will become stronger and more frequent. It's simple, but very useful and worth being reminded of from time to time. 2. Community One of the last things Thich Nhat Hanh talks about in Creating True Peace is sangha, or community. If we are a drop of water and we try to get to the ocean as only an individual drop, we will surely evaporate along the way. To arrive at the ocean, you must go as a river...We have to train ourselves to see the happiness of our community as our own happiness and to see the difficulties of our community as our own difficulties. Again, simple, but very wise and true. And I believe the author when he says we can "train" ourselves to think this way. Again, like anything, the more we do it, the more it will become a habit.
