Even back then, not many students liked or even read it. But I did.

Ustalık Gerektiren Kafaya Takmama Sanatı TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Butik Yayınevi

This was another of my favorites as a teen, and it seemed a fitting follow up to the last book I listened to, Many Waters. Poly O'Keefe is the niece of Sandy and Dennys of that book, and, though there are a few books that come between these, plot wise, these two are closely tied together because they both deal with time travel. The time travel of this book seems to be a more spiritual form of time travel than that of Many Waters. Whereas Sandy and Dennys travelled through time due to science and messing with their dad's experimental computer, Poly's time travels are less explained by time than by some sort of spiritual connection. Not only do Poly, Bishop Colubra, and Zachary travel back through the time game, into a different "circle of time," but both Karralys and Anaral, druids from 3,000 years earlier, are about to travel forward into the present circle of time. There is no reason given for why the circles of time opened at all, let alone a scientific one, or a reason why it was for those specific reasons. In the end, the only guess that Karralys can make is that God opened the gate so they could eventually help Zachary (be less of a self-centered jerk and also heal his heart). One of the main issues in this book is sacrifice. The tribes in the past come from a culture where sacrifice, both animal and human, was seen as necessary for survival. The earth required it to give them good crops, for rain to be sent, for their people to prosper. Tav, who came with Karralys from England, believed that way, and so did the People Across the Lake. There is a distinct different, however, in blood that taken by force versus blood given, with Jesus as an example. Karralys and the People of the Wind believed the opposite of Tav and the other tribe. They believed that the Mother, the earth, was good, and only wanted their love, which is a much more modern view of religion. In the end, Tav's heart was changed not only because he came to care for Poly as a person, but because he truly realized that the Mother didn't require blood. Zachary's relationship to sacrifice was different in that he would never admit to himself until the end that he would sacrifice Poly's life for his own. Zachary was the ultimate symbol of selfishness. Even though he didn't actually know Poly that well, he insisted on visiting her frequently, charming her and taking advantage of her kindness and good nature, even going so far as to kiss her at times. Even though it was explained to him very clearly that Poly was at risk of being sacrificed if she went back in time again, Zachary chose to believe that the threat of death wasn't real and literally dragged her back to the past with him. When he could have stayed with the People of the Wind and seen if they could heal their heart, Zachary willingly abandoned them to go across the lake because he heard their healer was more powerful. When the chief of that tribe demanded he bring Poly to them before seeing the healer, Zachary arranged for her forceful abduction from the People of the Wind's camp. Even though he kept denying it, Zachary must have know all along what the chief intended for Poly: that her blood be sacrificed to bring rain to their side of the lake, and to provide their healer with more power. It wasn't until her death was eminent that Zachary repeated and realized what he had done. Of course, once all was said and done, they still did everything they could to heal his heart. And then Zachary has the temerity to ask Poly if he could see her again?!? I don't know if you can tell, but Zachary is one of my most despised characters ever. I wish Poly had just left him at that camp to rot, but she wouldn't have been able to live with herself if she had abandoned him, and going back for him allowed for her to negotiate peace between the two tribes. The healers in the past were interesting in their power is not something that can be explained. They are not doctors, with scientific knowledge of how things work, but rather some sort of magical power workers, who can feel the energy in people and manipulate it to bring about healing. Poly experiences this herself, as she seems to have the healing touch herself (and had there been more books, I bet Poly would have gone on to medical school). Her thoughts on good power versus bad power were interesting as well -- can good, positive power work together with bad, malignant power? Or are them incompatible? Would the power give to the healer through the spilling of Poly's blood have been able to increase the strength of his natural, loving power? Luckily, they didn't have to find out. Once of my favorite parts of this book was always the sweet relationship between Poly and Tav. This is another relationship that would never work like Yalith and Dennys/Sandy, both between of the time distance between them and the cultural differences as well. It's another example of love that is true, but not Poly or Tav's only love, one possible love. As much as Poly and Tav were drawn to one another, and truly began to care for each other, and could have possibly built a wonderful, loving life together, had the circumstances been different, I fully believe that they each could go on to love again, and find someone else to spend their lives with, someone who is equally compatible and lovable. That doesn't mean that Poly and Tav will forget each other; it's more like they'll remember each other in their hearts, as one does with someone who has died. Just as Poly thinks of Max out there, enjoying herself in whatever state she is in, be it Heaven or not, she will also think of Tav in that way, I hope. Overall, this is definitely a book I still love, and one that makes you think. Some of my favorite moments were the clash of cultures, like when Poly was showing off all her pocket items to the tribesmen, and I will never forget the visual of the blood red moon on the lake, and the canoe rising up in front of it, with Karralys and Og in the front, and the Bishop holding Louise the Larger in the back.

My favorite of the three Aira books I've read. Creepy and memorable. Aira's ingenious use of the naked man ghosts is a stroke of genius.

The Korean Cinderella is exactly what you think it is. It is the Korean version of Cinderella. I like to read familiar stories that takes place in a different culture. I would use this book to compare and contrast the American version of Cinderella with the Korean version of Cinderella with my students.

Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk - İlber Ortaylı (İmzalı) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Kronik Kitap

This book keeps returning to me. In the last few years it is one of the only books I've reread (there's just so much out there to get through). Not only is the story deeply interesting, but what Martel has to say about religion, particularly about how religion glosses human experiences and makes these experiences survivable, is astounding and enlightening. At least, that's one thing I got out of the book. The book also stands alone as an engaging adventure story with an incredible ending. The book begins with Pi explaining his youth and his world view. He is a member of many religions and sees no contradictions. I enjoyed the treatment Pi gives to religion and to animals in the first part of the book. Some have found that portion slow, but I enjoyed it. Martel not only writes through some interesting ideas but his style and voice make the reading that much more enjoyable. Soon enough Pi is stuck on a life boat with a few dangerous animals, one of which is a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. (A fitting name--I recommend checking out the old British legal case which in part provided this name). What comes then is a nice long narrative of Pi's interactions with the Richard Parker and how they both come to depend on each other. Unfortunately, because this book has become such a huge commercial success, some people deride it as unworthy of the Booker. After all, how can such a book that appeals to the masses be all that intelligent? While I don't often recommend the bestsellers in the New York Times Book Review, this book is a worthy prize winner--one of the best in my opinion. And there is much embedded in it to recommend it even to those of us who expect challenging, provocative literature.

An extremely intense read. It almost defies comprehension that the events depicted in this book took place. Many, many things have been written about this book; if you're really curious about the topic I recommend getting some supplemental reading.

Elia İle Yolculuk - Zülfü Livaneli TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Karakarga Yayınları

I couldn't get into it. By the forth or fifth chapter i should be hooked and i wasn't. The idea of a griffin mage was interesting, but Kes seems to be too flat a character. We know what she's going to do so its hard to cheer for her. I almost wish someone would just tell me how it ends so i don't have to keep slogging through it. Good idea, but for a "page turner" it lacks in movement.

Bazı Yollar Yalnız Yürünür - Özgür Bacaksız TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Destek Medya Yayınları

It's so hard to rate this memoir... Jaycee Dugard endured an unspeakable isolation and a level of abuse no one person should ever face. Her elementary-level retelling of these events is rather tough to read. Despite being an insightful young woman, a great deal of her book feels a bit superfluous and fluffy. That being said, I'm not sure I'd actually really want the REAL meaty details of her time in captivity. All in all, I read the book in a day, mostly because of its childlike sentence structure and story-telling. The first third of the book is horrifying...and then it becomes something else...dare I say a bit boring? Yikes... I feel like a terrible person for panning this woman's story. Read it if you are interested in her story and are willing to subject yourself to storytelling from a 5th-grade level educated 30-year old...otherwise, don't bother.
