A FINALIST FOR THE TRILLIUM BOOK AWARD AND A GLOBE AND MAIL NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR. As a migraine sufferer of 32 years myself, I found this story very interesting and unique. From cover: "On a quiet June day, Toronto cartographer Claire Barber learns her sister Rachel has vanished from New York. As Claire disrupts her orderly life to follow news of her sister to Montreal, to Amsterdam, to Italy, and, ultimately to Las Vegas and Mexico, she is haunted by fears that Rachel's worsening migraines may have finally pushed her beyond her limits. Struggling with her own headaches, Claire embarks on what becomes an emotional journey, one that brings to the fore long-held secrets from the past, the difficult memory of her parents' sudden death years earlier, and the unique, irreplaceable bond that exists between sisters. What Claire discovers will set her life on a new course. Engrossing, psychologically charged, Clair's Head explores how we live with pain - how much we can bear and what we're willing to do to free ourselves from it."

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is an astonishing, purposeful read that feds the mind great quantities of knowledge and morals.

The Kite Runner is a novel that is a must read. Teaching the value of friendships and consequences, Khaled Hosseini provides riveting and unremarkable events. Another attribute that makes this story a good read is the realistic approach that it is written in. If you are interested in story, Khaled Hosseini, second novel A Thousand Splendid Suns, is also a must read.

I decided to read this book because of all the hoopla about a new edition being printed which replaces the "n" word with slave. The editor of this new edition says that teachers have virtually stopped using the book because of "the word." What a loss to students if this book is ignored! I very much enjoyed reading it in my childhood and now again as an adult. Creative writing at its best, real incite into life on the Mississippi in Huck's time. In the context of this book, I was not offended by the use of the word. It was a natural part of their speech, used without venom or hatred; even the slaves themselves used it to refer to each other. Definitely worth a re-read to all of us who read it in our youth.

Mildly amusing in places but overall just not an attention keeper. Until the last few chapters I had to make myself trudge thru this book. I'm not sure I will ever be a big Christopher Moore fan.

I'm going to quit making sweeping statements about they genres of books I like because each time I declare that I don't care for fantasy or travelogues, I find myself up until five a.m. reading the Twilight series or laughing hysterically at Bill Bryson's In a Sunburned Country. This guy can write from the depths of his lilly white, Yankee toes. He is a skilled humorist who captures Australia and his experiences with exacting language and wit. Although this is an entertaining read, I also adore his take on life. I would have given this book four stars if I felt that there was something more to be gleaned from it than just sheer pleasurable entertainment. It feels like an unwritten rule that four stars and above must make us better human beings for having read a work. Who knows where I get these rules?

Perhaps the most perfect book ever written, the Tao Te Ching is a dialectical masterpiece in the best sense of the phrase. The androcentric worldview is certainly an aberration of history that will destroy us if we do not contemplate the Tao and realign our human forces in order to be more like the Ewoks in Star Wars. I have found these few essential words to be as thought-provoking as anything in world literature, including Hegel and Marx. See for yourself, or not; it is all Tao, right? Yeah. Give to Christians!

I'll admit it, sometimes I do judge a book by its cover. So, I spent a month noticing the strikingly sketchy raven on the cover of The Petting Zoo by the late Jim Carroll before I got around to picking it up and reading it. This book has all the hallmarks of a winner for Michelle, psychological baggage, an intriguing artist protagonist, and even some mystical presence to it, but as much as I found myself to the story of Billy Wolfram, famous young neo-surreal painter and basket-case, I found myself being drawn out of it equally as much. This is an interesting book. It is not an arduous read, either, so I would recommend it. It just features a great many huge blocks of dialogues, lectures really, on art, on life, on regret that often take on a didactic tone that I don't particularly enjoy in books. At the same time, I enjoyed the content of these discussions--the art historical aspects drew me in. So what exactly is my problem? Perhaps Billy Wolfram's treatises reminded me too much of my own brother, who is a painter. No, brother is not suffering a mental breakdown on account of the sublimely spiritual paintings of Diego Velasquez, but he can be a little long-winded, especially on the topic of visual arts. So is Jim Carroll's book, and he died perhaps before he could edit it down a bit.

Just as I was beginning to find the protagonist tolerable, the story wrapped itself up in a very open ending. I think the conflict the character was illustrating was very relevant for the historical period the story is exploring, however, it was humoring a viewpoint that is extremely difficult for a modern reader to sympathize with. I felt the author could have potentially bridged the reader's sympathies with the protagonist's with a lighter, more charitable hand. But the illustration she created of a way of life and time in history was thorough, lively, and adequately researched. Had I grown to like Matilda earlier in the text, I may have even enjoyed the invitation to create my own ending that the author extended. As it was I just felt slightly put out, but my emotional attachments aside, it was an engaging read.

Think I liked this better when I read it in the late 80s, but it is still very good.

Bu romanın çoğundan çok keyif aldım - iki ana karakter çok iyi gelişti ve romanın temalarından çok etkilendim (başlangıçlar ve sonlar, bilim vs din, dünyanın daha önemli / doğru olduğunu düşündüğü / gördüğü şey gerçekte ne olduğu veya birisinin gerçekte kim olduğu, adalet sisteminin gerçekle olan gevşek bağları) ve karakterlerde nasıl tezahür ettikleri. Örneğin, George mantıklı veya somut olmayan herhangi bir şeyi anlamakta aşırı zorluk çeker - gri, nüans ve metafor tonları algılama yeteneğinin tamamen ötesindedir. Aynı zamanda tam anlamıyla iyi göremiyor - son derece miyop ve kötü görüşünün kendisini nasıl taşıdığı üzerindeki etkisi, suçlu inancına yol açan şeyin bir parçası. Arthur'un George davasını soruşturmasında kanıt topladığı kitabın ortasında daha az ilgileniyordum. Biraz gerçek bir Sherlock Holmes romanı gibi okuyor, ki bu noktadan eminim, ancak kitabın bu bölümünde karakter büyümesine ve rasyonalite ve gerçek hakkındaki daha büyük sorulara odaklanmayı özledim. Yani, temalara ulaşmak için. Benim için en ilginç olan, bireyin bildikleri ve dünyanın büyük bir kısmının bildikleri - iki gerçek olduğu ve gerçek, gerçek bir gerçeğin toplumun izlenimlerine kolayca gömülebileceği fikriydi. Arthur kitabın çoğunda bir ilişki yaşıyor, ancak platonik kalıyor. Bir kadına aşık Jean, ama onurlarını ve Arthur'un karısının onurunu korumak için aşklarını tamamlamıyorlar. Ancak Arthur'un kayınbiraderi ona çok doğru bir şekilde söyler: "Düşündüğün ve dünyanın ne düşündüğün var. İnandığın ve dünyanın inandığı şey var. Bildiğin ve dünyanın bildikleri var. Onur sadece değil içsel iyi hissetme meselesi, ama aynı zamanda dışsal davranış meselesi. " Bu tema George'un durumunda daha da uç noktalarda. Yıllarca hapiste geçiriyor ve seçmediği suçlarda hüküm giydiği için seçtiği alanda çalışma yeteneğini kaybediyor. Her iki karakter de rasyonel, gerçeğe ve bilime adanmıştır ve her iki karakter de dinsel inançlarını yetişkinler olarak kaybeder: "Arthur inancının zayıfladığının tam olarak farkında değildi. Ama Kilisenin içinde düşünmek dışarıda düşünmek için kolayca kaymaya başladı o." Bununla birlikte, Arthur ruhsallığa bir inanç geliştirir. Ölülerin yaşayanlarla iletişim kurabileceğine inanıyor ve seanslar gibi şeylerde yer alıyor. Bunu din için ileri bir ilerleme olarak görüyor. Bilimsel ilerlemelerin görünmeyenlere (mikroplar, hücreler, vb.) Gerçeği vermeye başladığı gibi, maneviyatın da dinin ilerlemesi olduğuna ve başkalarının onu kucaklamamasından şok olduğuna inanıyor: "İnsanlar neden bu ilerlemeyi hayal etti Kendinizi daha fazla evrene açmaya daha çok inanmaktan ziyade daha az inanmaktan mı ibaretti? " Arthur'un kız kardeşi "erkek kardeşi dini bir şeyleri düzeltme sevgisiyle karıştırıyor. Bir sorun görüyor - ölüm - ve bunu çözmenin bir yolunu arıyor: doğası bu. Arthur'un maneviyatının bağlantılı olduğunu düşünüyor. şövalyelik ve romantizm sevgisi ve altın çağa olan inancı ile tam olarak nasıl çalışamaz. " Arthur'un bir şeyi düzeltmeye olan sevgisi, sonları bilme ve onları anlama sevgisine yakından bağlıdır. Yazısında, başka bir şey bilmeden her zaman bir romanın sonunu bilir. Düşündüğü gibi: "Peki daha sonra ne olacağını bilmiyorsan hayatın anlamı nedir? Eğer sonun ne olduğunu bilmiyorsan, başlangıcın anlamını nasıl anlayabilirsin?" Temalar: başlangıçlar ve sonlar, bilim ve din, bilgi, gerçek, rasyonalite, maneviyat, ahlak, onur, mecaz, görme / görme, yarış, diğer / yabancılar, adalet, adaletsizlik, toplumsal gerçek, toplumsal hatalar
