An insanely awesome story. It's truly remarkable what Garrard went through on the South Pole and, furthermore, that he managed to survive. The 'Worst Journey' title actually only refers to a small expedition that Garrard undertook along with two others, Dr Bill Wilson and Birdie Bowers. Basically, they set off during the winter time on a many week long odyssey to find Penguin eggs (which they falsely thought could hold the keys to evolution). At any rate, during winter, in Antarctica, it's basically dark the entire time and the conditions that these guys experienced are probably close to the most hellish experienced by humans anywhere ever. Some things that stand out include Garrard having blisters cover his hand after only taking his gloves off for a few seconds, then having these blisters freeze, and having to painfully pop them all in the tent, but there are many many more terrible things that happen to the whole crew. As far as adventure stories go, this one is unparalleled. If you think 'I Shouldn't be alive' episodes on Animal planet are impressive, well this is 'I shouldn't be alive' times 100 hundred - not exaggerating. The writing itself is a little proper and perhaps dated (the book was written over eighty years ago after all) but the story is so compelling and impressive that it will keep you interested regardless.

On the surface, I should really love this book. The premise is great, the writing is well crafted, and I liked the overall melancholy tone of the book. Unfortunately, I simply couldn't get into this. I read books because I like characters, and I found Ishiguro's characters to fall a little flat - pretty unreachable. The plot moved along very slowly, and I found that keeping the mystery or twist until the end simply made me care less about the story. I did, however, think that the depiction of adolescent behavior was a bright point in the book - pretty spot on and realistic.

So this book is really good, and that honestly surprised me a little. It's like William Faulkner, only with sort of a plot, and stuff happens, and you can kind of follow it. It's like Faulkner, only accessible, is what I mean here. I dunno. Maybe I'm biased because Dr. Watson liked the paper I wrote on this during my third and final senior year.

Calvin Trillin's stories of travel and eating (including one where his young daughter always brings a bagel to a restaurant in case there is nothing there she likes) have made me continually fall in love with his charming late wife and his splendidly funny daughters.

This is a very balanced overview of the economic history of the US since WWII and the crucial role that inflation has played over the last 65 years. Samuelson argues convincingly that Reagan's support of Paul Volcker's tight money policy was his single largest accomplishment in domestic policy--not tax or spending policy--that set the stage for the economic recovery of the 80s and 90s. Though I don't agree with all of his views, I credit Samuelson with presenting a fair, non-polemical accounting of the challenges facing the US in economic policy. This book does a particularly good job of showing how the obsession with full employment that developed in the 50s and 60s created a mindset in politicians and regulators that prevented the Federal Reserve from using the tools at its disposal to keep inflation in check. Another important take away from this book is that while the inflation of the 70s is commonly attributed as a policy failure of the Carter administration, this was a problem that had been brewing for several decades which both Democratic and Republican presidents had struggled with. In calm and reasoned prose, Samuelson discusses the need to reform entitlements pointing out that the welfare state "has in part created a reverse Robin Hood effect: It sometimes transfers income from the struggling young to the relaxed old." For anyone who wants a wider understanding of the historical context of our current debates on economic policy, this is a very worthwhile and relatively quick read.

Hilarious book about a witty big who makes a bad situation into a good one. This book would be good to read to students and have a discussion about how they should take responsibility and make bad situations into good ones. You can also just read this to them for pleasure and fun.

Üçlü ve kırklı yıllar boyunca NYC'de geçen bu roman, biri Çek, biri Amerikalı, hem Yahudi hem de çizgi roman sanatçıları olmak üzere iki kuzenle ilgilidir. Roman, sadece 2. Dünya Savaşı'na değil, aynı zamanda çizgi romanın gelişimine bakarak, iki merkezi (ve diğer küçük, ama yine de inanılır bir dizi) karakterin yeniden yükselişini, düşüşünü ve hafif yükselişini izliyor. Büyük bir tıknaz roman, belki de biraz fazla uzun, ama karakterler mükemmel bir şekilde fark edildi ve farkında olmadan çok şey öğreneceksiniz. 2/3 düşüncesiyle solmaya başladığını hissetti, Antartik'teki Kavalier bölümü sürüklendi. Ancak daha sonra 'Pittsburgh Gizemleri'ni aradı.
