Osmanlıca Yazmayı Öğreniyorum TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

I am not rich enough in words to express my delight in this book. I was guided by another member of GR to this treasure and cannot begin to tell her how much I appreciate her suggestion that I read this. The book is so rich in characters and plot twists that it is not possible to adequately summarize it. However, I will say that the writing is beautiful and the story mesmerizing. The descriptions of this wonderfully created world are enough on their own to make reading this worthwhile. Add in characters for whom the reader quickly begins to care and you have the recipe for a page turner. The heroes are appropriately flawed and the villains are black-hearted fools. What more can the high fantasy reader ask? The plot holds frequent reminders of the Wars of the Roses as the struggle between the Starks and the Lannisters (sound familiar?) continues on its aeons long bloody course. There is also a taste of "Dune" in the relationships between the generations. The device Martin uses to keep the story going and the numerous threads all straight is to cut like a novelistic D.W. Griffith from person to person, revealing the events through separate sets of eyes. It is a startlingly effective technique. The final scene of the book is stunning. Although the principle element had been foreshadowed well before hand, the converging of the various plot lines makes it streak like a meteor into the mind. I am almost breathless, having just finished reading this the first book of a series (whose length is not yet determined). I shall read another sort of book to freshen my mental palate before I burrow into "A Clash of Kings". It is going to be hard to set this continuing story and its vivid characters to the back of my consciousness, even for a little while.

This was the first Nigella Lawson book I ever read, because I'd seen her recipe for ham in Coca Cola on the TV show of the same name and was dying to try it. I've made it several times since, along with many other of her recipes. In fact, every recipe I've tried (which has been most of them) has had fabulous results, most especially the orange breakfast muffins, lemon risotto, italian sausage with lentils, slow-roasted pork shoulder, and sticky-toffee dessert. The book isn't perfect, though it's not because of the recipes. There are massive (albeit gorgeous) pictures, tons of white space, and whole pages, sometimes two, devoted to recipes when only a quarter was needed (asparagus in a soft-boiled egg? mashed potatos? watermelon daquiri?), making one feel a bit cheated, considering the book's price. Still, I've used it enough to make up for the extra cost.

I hate whoever marketed this book because because of the cover / hype I'd heard around it, I resisted reading it for a few months. It was really good, though. Reminded me of Tom Rachman's "The Imperfectionists," but much better.

Antrenman Yayınları Antrenmanlarla Matematik 2 - Mehmet Girgiç TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

You know how I was saying before that I didn't understand why I had this strong impression that Agatha Christie's books were for old British ladies? I figured it out while reading this one. This is one of Christie's Hercule Poirot mysteries. Hercule Poirot is a Belgian detective who seems to think he is better than everyone and spends an awful lot of time twirling his "moustaches" in contemplation while complaining about how rude and gauche everyone is. Frankly, I spent most of the book kind of wanting to punch him in the "moustaches." The plot requires Poirot to untangle the mystery of a young woman (A hippie! [It's the sixties, you know.] How dirty and appalling and strange!) who confesses that she thinks she murdered someone. Unfortunately, she has no idea who or why, and doesn't even bother to leave her name. Poirot has to start by figuring out who this girl is, where she has come from, and who she might have murdered. He unravels this case with the help of his friend, the quirky mystery writer (sort of a more flighty version of Jessica Fletcher), his near-silent servant George, and his secretary Ms. Lemon. The book is well-written, in that the grammar is good and the clues seem to add up more-or-less effectively. However, the story winds along at a snail's pace, and were I not reading this specifically for the 5K, I probably would have given up and thrown it out the bus window roughly 30 pages in. I would only recommend this for the most ardent fan. Although I do intend to read more Agatha Christie, I can promise I'll be steering far clear of any Hercule Poirot mysteries in the future.

After Slaughterhouse, this is my favorite Vonnegut book. It's much more mature and I love how he reflects on his life and such....

I thought this book was pretty good although it really got a little bit more preachy than what I look for in a fiction book.

** spoiler alert ** This was a pretty quick read. I saw it on display at bookstores for years and never had even the slightest tingle of interest in reading it. Not one bit. Fast forward to living in the middle of NOWHERE hundreds of miles from the nearest English bookstore, and you can get some idea of why I finally picked this up after a visitor left it behind. (Incidentally, that's how I acquire most of my reading materials these days.) Even with dismally low expectations, I still thought this book was sorta lame. Not offensively bad or anything, but poorly written, conceived, and filled with fluff. I nearly gagged at the ending when everything was wrapped up in this nice pretty bow made out of cheese and nostalgia. I did get through it out of pure curiosity about what was in store for the main characters, but little else. Amateurish prose and tedious descriptions made it drag. And I HATED the chapters that took place in the present in the old folks' home. I friggin' hate that gimmick in books and movies. It makes no sense to me, served no real purpose in the telling of this story (and rarely does... it just padded the length of Benjamin Button without adding substance, which might have been decent if it wasn't so long.....). I digress. I don't care about him as an old man. He's not interesting. He's a cliche, decrepit and curmudgeonly and forgetful—and forgotten by his family. So boring. I waited until the very end to see why we even needed to see him as an old man, and was let down by the supposed pay off of all those extra chapters and descriptions of old wrinkly man bits and toothless meals. All that should have been cut out. This book is for people who enjoy everything-ends-up-roses kind of crap. I feel like filling in the blanks between the main story in the 30s and the present discredited everything about the characters. I mean, c'mon. They go live on a perfect farm and live a perfect life filled with perfectly imperfect babies? Barf. Boring. Lame. There was absolutely ZERO relationship between Jacob as a young man and Jacob as an old man. None. There was nothing tying the present to the past expect for the circus being in town. It was all so lame. And BTW (SPOILER ALERT), did anyone else call bullshit on the fact that 8 men got thrown from a train while Jacob was skulking around and he didn't hear anything? I guess trains are loud and all, but those men didn't put up a fight? We know the window was open in the car he was in. Really? No screams or anything? Seriously?
