“My grandfather had built his house in what was once a thriving orchard of jujubes, mulberries, tamarinds, and mangoes. His numerous grandchildren, like hungry flocks of birds, attacked the mangoes while they were still green and sour. As grown-ups snored through the hot afternoons in rooms cooled with weeded, sweet-smelling vetiver curtains, the unsupervised children were on every branch of every mango tree, armed with a ground mixture of salt, pepper, red chilies, and roasted cumin.” Is your mouth watering yet? Reading Climbing the Mango Trees is as much a culinary expedition as it is a childhood memoir. Madhur Jaffrey’s upbringing as a child of a higher-caste family in India is fascinating for it’s social and historical details, but the icing of the autobiographical cake, has got to be the food. A food writer/actress by profession, Jaffrey knows how to appeal to our all our senses with a flair for entertainment. I enjoyed the stories of her family and her childhood. With her grandparents firmly at the center of the large household, Jaffrey grew up in the same dwelling as aunts, uncles and numerous cousins. As a reader, we get a glimpse of the challenges of navigating the egos of a large family, as well as the cultural and religious differences of her private school classmates. When India becomes an independent state, with a separate Muslim state called Pakistan, those differences have a large impact on India as a whole, and on the young Madhur Jaffrey. It’s these insights that make this memoir especially appealing to me. Her stories, interwoven with her memories of the wonderful meals she enjoyed, make this a delectable read. I’ll have to keep my copy of Climbing the Mango Trees shelved with my cookbooks now because Jaffrey includes over 30 family recipes in the book. I am eager to try them! 3 1/2 stars.

I talk about this book a bit both in my review of MALADY OF THE CENTURY & Meillassoux's THE NUMBER & THE SIREN, but one major thing for me was that I finally actually finished this book, despite being short in length. It's got some astounding & incredibly dense ideas, but still manages to be delivered in understandable language if you put the effort into it.

3 Ziynet Ve İlim Ve İbretli Kıssalar TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Muallim Neşriyat

Mystery and ghost story that tries for depth but misses the mark by just a smidge. Miranda and her brother Rob were in a car accident that their friend didn’t walk away from. Now, Rob is claustrophobic and ever since that night Miranda has been able to see ghosts. Their family goes on a trip to England in an attempt to alleviate some tensions. Unfortunately, for Miranda this is one haunted city. The ghosts are everywhere, across the street from the flat they are renting and practically around every corner. Miranda meets a mysterious boy, Nick, who has the same ability to see ghosts that she does. He shows her around town and tells her about what he knows of their ability. He also has an uncanny way of disappearing or appearing. Essentially, Nick is the mystery part of this story. Who is he, why does he keep interacting with Miranda, and what is he up to? Interesting yes, but the interactions aren’t quite enough, or built as well as they could be. Personally, I didn’t feel there was anything remarkable about Miranda or Nick. The story was rather slow until the action quickly picked up the pace at the end with an unexpected turn of events. It had a good ending that I didn’t expect, that salvaged things for me a bit. Plus the fact that I’m glad it wasn’t a YA romance, but overall, it lacked that certain something. Whether it was an absence of character building, or something else, I just never felt like I really got to know Miranda or build a real attachment to any of the characters.

Final 10. Sınıf Coğrafya Soru Bankası TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: FDD Yayınları

Chess master Paul Jerin is fatally poisoned during a blindfold match at the Gambit Chess Club, and Matthew Blount, the club member who brought him the pot of hot chocolate, is arrested and charged with murder. His daughter hires Wolfe to clear her father, and soon we are absorbed in one is Wolfe's best mysteries. Fans of the series take note: this is the novel that opens with the not-to-be-missed scene of Wolfe burning Webster's Third International Dictionary a page at a time. (Two reasons--among many--for Wolfe's rage: W3I includes "contact" as a verb and lists "imply" as one of the meanings of "infer".)

The thing that I love about Neil Gaiman is that his writing is effectively creepy and disturbing, and yet, manages to have a tone of hopefulness in all of that darkness. It’s extremely more apparent in his children’s books than the adult novels (and much more than his short stories), and part of the reason why I love his books. Coraline’s the kind of book that would have freaked me out if I had read it when I was seven or eight (still wigged me out pretty bad when I first read it a few years ago), but I would have liked it because Coraline’s such a relatable character. She’s a normal little girl who’s not enchanted with staying inside all day and wants to see more of her new home. I like the fact that while Coraline’s precocious, she’s not terribly annoying—it does feel that way at times whenever she complains about having nothing to do, but when you look at the fact that she’s just moved in to this house, with no other kids, I can see why she’s frustrated with all of the adults around her. She’s also intelligent without feeling like a smarty know-it-all. Coraline doesn’t know exactly what the beldam is or what she entirely wants (although a few other characters glean that information), but she’s willing to fight for her family even if she doesn’t know everything. Yes, there are parts when things feel like Coraline gets handed plot points—such as the seeing stone—but she has to work and figure out how to use said plot points in her quest. I love how she ultimately defeats the beldam in the end with the fake tea party (although the rabid cat throw was pretty awesome too). I’ve heard a lot of criticism regarding Coraline’s parents—for example, my aunt said she felt they were neglectful to the point of questionability. I don’t see that. If you honestly never got ignored by work-at-home parents at all, then good on you and your childhood. But the fact that Coraline’s parents are distracted with work and their recent move, it feels more realistic and helps move Coraline in her growing up. As for the other side characters, I generally really like them. Ms. Forcible and Spink are two of my favorites, in all of their kookiness, but you see that they do care about Coraline in a neighborly, dotty-aunt type fashion. Mr. Bobo doesn’t really show up that often to grow into his own character, but I like him all the same. (And I love the line regarding him at the end: “Honestly, how many chances do you get to say the name ‘Mr. Bobo’ out loud?”) And the ghost children are fantastic, for the little that they show up in the book. And the cat. Just…the cat. This is just a creepy, enjoyable read. I wouldn’t say it’s for everyone, but it’s still a lot of fun and manages to speak to anyone, no matter how old they are.

I did not like this book. In real life, the story is very touching and I'm sure Morrie was a very sweet and wise man. But in book form, I just don't think it worked. I'm on this new kick where I read a few pages or chapters of a motivational, "the world can be better", improve yourself type books each night, and this was one that popped up on my stack. But especially in comparison to some of the others I read (namely John C. Maxwell), Tuesdays just didn't stack up. It didn't come close. I am a big fan of underlining profound portions of books, but I regret to say that I left this book completely blank the way it came.
