Safahat - Mehmet Akif Ersoy TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Evrensel İletişim Yayınları

During the first half of the book, I found the stories and characters interesting enough to keep reading, but felt the general tone of the book was kind of depressing. It deals a lot with loss, both physical and mental, disenchantment, suicide, and so forth, which for someone in their midlife who has suffered losses, makes for rather grim reading. In the second half, it did come together for me. I felt I was able to get to know and understand Olive a little better. Inside her coarse, controlling, protective person, there were glimpses of kindness, desire to serve, need to be loved and fear of letting go enough to allow that. I recognized some of those traits in myself as well, and that I too, as Olive and other characters in the book, can be quick to judge, be it a book, person or situation....it's good to be open to discovering the truths about people and life...while it is not all pretty, warm or predictable, there are times of great clarity, beauty and deep human connections that can nourish us if we are alert enough to notice them and brave enough to open ourselves up to them. The writing itself, was descriptive and emotive and I enjoyed her use of similes with unordinary objects to express feelings familiar to many of us (i.e. “her stomach had started to feel like a wet balloon, with its insides stuck together” [p. 234], or feeling overcome by a sadness that feels like “being squeezed so hard she felt like a package of vacuum packed coffee…” [p. 252]). I loved the interview at the end as well - tied it all up nicely for me. It’s definitely a book to digest for a couple days before passing judgment.

Seni Yeneceğim Borsa - Ufuk Özcan TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Placebo Yayınları

Based on the author's website of the same name, Alex Boese puts together a collection of popular hoaxes and deceptions against society from the Middle Ages to today. Many are familiar (Swiss Spaghetti trees, Y2K, Milli Vanilli), but some, particularly the older pranks, are new to me. For someone as fascinated with popular culture as I am, this was a decent read, discussing the rise in popularity of postcards at the turn of the century - you know, the ones with old farmers standing in yards with ginormous ears of corn, etc. Interspersed amongst these short examples of famous hoaxes are snippets of April Fool's Day jokes played over the years, some of which are clever, but the rest are just mildly entertaining. Perhaps Boese's website is more fun than this book. It wasn't so much that the book wasn't fun, but it was tedious at times. It's best as a reference book, not one with which to sit down and read cover-to-cover as I did. Probably better to just pull out when arguing with someone about such-and-such anecdote to prove them wrong on the validity of the story. Instead of finding a lot of the information funny, I actually found myself depressed by some of them. Milli Vanilli will always make me sad because of their downfall and the outcome, but history's hoaxes are often like that, maybe without the suicide in end. People have lost jobs, status and essentially their names for some of the hoaxes they perpetrated or they were unknowingly the subject of; after reading enough of them at one sitting it was a little too much of a downer.
