*Big Disclaimer* Kristi is my critique partner, so I read this book months ago and have had to wait to talk to anyone about it. I'm so glad it's finally out. *squee* It's so A-MA-ZING! As well as being an author, I'm a voracious YA reader. I love Kristi's X-men meets Twilight world. Kristi manages to brings something fresh to a deluged paranormal market. If you haven't read this series, read it! You won't be disappointed.

The author is a friend of a friend, and this is a totally true story. Great writing, and yes, there is a red-light district in Minneapolis, and it's some f*cked up sh*t.

Yavuz - Okay Tiryakioğlu TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Timaş Yayınları

A well written account of the years from the end of the Second World War leading up to the Space Race of the 1960s. Mainly a political commentary rather than a military and scientific account, Brzezinski demonstrates his journalistic credentials by offering well researched stories from both America and the Soviet Union to build a narrative that explains the paranoia, misinformation, propoganda, and political fighting that existed both within and between these Cold War adversaries. The insight gained on the former-Nazi scientists who masterminded the German V1 and V2 rocket projects is worthy of it's own book, particularly the race by the superpowers to "capture" these scientists at the end of the Second World War for their own military aims, thus protecting them from war trials and other investigations. Brzezinski captures the ineptitude of many senior political figures in both countries, but I'm not convinced he does enough to describe the vast manpower and resources required to develop spaceflight.

A curious redefinition of both what it means to be poetical and what it means to be a dictionary. Whimsical, if a bit light. Worth reading.

They were handing a free book out at the gate to a rooftop films screening. Why? A scene was set at rooftop films, I was told. Or at least a scene on a rooftop alluded to rooftop films. Turns out it was by Jim Munroe, a past editor of Adbusters. The back blurb was awful, something about an occultist roommate turning into a touring performance act. It got buried in a pile. To be dug out semi-randomly. I'd assumed that this would be a continuation of my genre-fiction-only plan, still underway despite some Borges stories, but rather than than being the horror novel I was expecting given the ostensible subject of demonology, it's much more what I should have expected from an editor of Adbusters: thoughts on pop-culture, sub-culture, and the negotiation of life and art while getting older. Despite being (admittedly) basically the target reader of a book so rife with cultural references, at first I found the culturally relevant detail somewhat distracting. More on this below. Also, the book unfolds in blog format, which is both kitschy in that same "culturally relevant" way and entirely unconvincing in that narrator Kate blogs exactly as if she were writing a novel, complete with implausibly detailed (and often rather uninteresting) banter and a completely leaden ear to the more conversational idiosyncracies of most blogging. The only times it's obvious the story is a blog are in the segues, and in the rare but amusing sequences where Kate gets bored and lets her entries trail off into fiction and lies. (Okay, so Munroe wins back some "formatting gimmick" points, for also releasing the book free online as an actual blog. I gotta admit that his money is largely where his mouth is, and he is no stranger to alternative and easily distributable media formats.) Most of that was written in annoyance halfway through the book, but plotwise, it does pick up somewhat in the second half when the the story condenses into a road trip. It's still mostly a vehicle for cultural observation, but somehow I ended up endeared to the key characters anyway, for no easily identifiable reason. Getting back to that cultural observation: as I said, I'm about as close to a target audience for all the references as could be hoped for, and they irked me a bit. Why? Well, some of it was superfluous: do we need a page long Shaolin Soccer digression, a full explanation of slash fanfic*, and frequent analogies using the likes of China Mieville, Cat Power, and Guided By Voices? Those first two especially: they're a bit too didactic, a bit too "let me introduce you to a cultural artifact that may interest you." Maybe it's partly that the book was published in 2004 and up-to-the-minute references date extremely quickly. The broader references to art/music life and its signifiers seems a little more timeless, of course. I wonder how this could be done well. Time actually helps, perhaps once you move past the period where everything is a little too late to be new. Pynchon (apparently now the author that I invariably end up referencing in reviews and I am sorry for that) is full of cultural references of whatever era he's dealing with, but they're delightful. I think distance also helps as far as tone goes: there is less of a sense of imparting knowledge after a certain point, and references become background detail. For more currently set books, though, I think the dangers can be avoided by cutting the specifics and keeping cultural reference to its broader shapes and senses. I suspect Great Jones Street fared just fine in its own time, and whatever its other failings, the feeling of a (nonspecific) band on the cusp of its potential was what You Don't Love Me Yet actually did pull off most effectively. This deserves more thought, especially since it's the sort of pitfall I'm likely to blunder into if I do start writing my own fiction again, at some point. Thoughts? *On the other hand, how could I really fault a book for referencing Draco/Harry slash fic, which I think was the first instance of the peculiar popular phenomenon I ran into as well.

I read this long, long ago--- practically wore out the university library copy. It's a brilliant book, a key work for anyone interested in what design really means, and in adapting structure to environment. This is one of those books you want to pass on, to make sure that others read. So--- read it, look around at small-scale and supposedly sustainable designs worldwide, then read it again.

Vejetaryenliğin Yararları TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Yapı Kredi Yayınları

This is a thinly veiled allegory about the rise and fall (morally speaking) of Marxism/Communism Russia. The bolsheviks are cleverly portrayed as pigs, the people as other animals, while the old Russian czar is the farmer who is displaced by the mutiny of animals. It contains penetrating insights into the radical inconsistencies of the Marxist/Communist system. What was intended to be a movement for the better of the people devolves into an oppressive totalitarian regime.

Time: 11:39. Look at that, it's actually before midnight! Okay SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!! One: It is nasty that Max slept with Elena and Erica. Siblings with the same man? No. Just no. Two: Can't think of two, but I know there was one. Jeez, I'm 18! One would think I would have a better memory than this. Unfortunately, I only remember the story, not what bugged me about the story. And really, he's known her for how long? Less than 24 hours, he says it himself. That is not love, it is lust. Love takes time. Chemistry doesn't. Maybe I'm just getting tired of all these books where they meet, fall is LUST, have monkey sex all over the place, and get married in two weeks. That's not what real life is. Of course, one could argue that we read to escape from life, to let our imaginations free, etc. Maybe that was number two. Lust vs. love. It doesn't feel right in my head, but I will drop it for now. 3 stars.
