i am so happy this book was written. not just for PPD women, but for people dealing with depression in general. it's so true; it's so real to the way it feels, and the way it breaks families and relationships apart. it is a selfish thing, and it is so difficult to understand when you aren't in it. i love the way brooke's perspective changes, how you can see the despair begin and then the climb out, and how meds aren't the end all. i really felt a kinship with her struggle to decide to go on meds, and the thought that you can get off them just fine, and the importance of the therapist. if only tom cruise wouldn't spout his shit about it . . . i very much recommend this book for anyone interested in seeing how depression works - and i am so proud of Brooke Shields for actually writing it. it's hard to come out and say that things are rough - and admitting a clinical diagnosis. i heart this book.

From the beginning, Dostoevsky sucks readers into a character who seeks to justify himself with a faulty logic driven by menacing bitterness. The first half of the book is an overwhelming philosophical "writing" by the narrator. It is difficult to understand, yet what the simultaneously sucks the reader in and disgusts the reader is the bitterness driving this man. He is a complex entity, full of brokenness and loneliness, yet it is his hatred that permeates in the reader, almost infecting the reader like it does him. The repetition in the novel can seem tedious, but it's effect is tremendous. The second half of the book is narrative, accounting for his bitterness. It reads faster than the first half without losing the intensity that the philosophical account set up. Indeed, those ideas develop the narrative portion well. Despite the narrative section even having a somewhat reflective tone, I still felt like I was in the experience, watching and feeling what this man was going through. From menial job, to dinner party with old peers, to whorehouse this book builds a connection that will reveal much to the reader.

My first meeting with fantasy literature! Nice story of a young wizard, Ged. Left the series after the first book. Not because not liking it, instead i wanted to leave it as innocent as it is. Wanna complete it when I'm retired.

I f'ing hated this book. I never put a novel down without finishing it, but this one I snapped shut in disgust. Sure, it had it's kitch appeal, and the characters were unique and far from your stereotypical main characters, but damn! The book just sucked. I mean the author talks about himself in no short order under purposefully thin veils. In my opinion very few authors can get away with this kind of crap and certainly no author that's only on his second book. It was just awful. Plus the story didn't seem to be going anywhere interesting, but it was sure as hell taking its sweet time getting nowhere. In summation, if you want a copy of this book just ask me. You can have mine b/c I never want to look at it again.

Wow! This amazing historical non-fiction book was about Louis Zamperini who was an Italian-American Olympic runner whose plane goes down in World War 2, and he and two other men survive 47 days on a disintegrating raft, only to spend the rest of the war being starved and tortured in a series of Japanese POW camps. Inspirational. A book that everyone should read.

Up there with Pride and Prejudice in my opinion. I like the sister relationship Austen explores.

Tariq Ali is a prominent leftist intellectual in Britain who is originally from Pakistan. His book, “The Clash of Fundamentalisms: Crusades, Jihads and Modernity” serves as a strong counter to the dominant scholarly understandings of the conflict between Islam and the West and of world history in general. He seeks to explain the historical roots of the attack on September 11th, as well as provide a background to India-Pakistan relations, the Arab-Israeli conflict and additional topics that relate to Islamic identity and politics. It is important to understand that in his writings, Ali has a strong bias. He is a liberal, a Marxist, an atheist, a strong opponent of the foreign policies of the United States and the state of Israel and a severe critic of globalization and its negative impact in developing countries. He expresses the views of many in the Third World that are often overlooked in Western scholarly discourse. Ali argues that world history has been defined by the “Clash of Fundamentalisms” instead of the "Clash of Civilizations" as presented by Samuel Huntington. Tariq's clash is either manifested as religious fundamentalism or imperial fundamentalism. In the first half of the book, he explores the history of Islamic civilization. He covers the early days of the religion, the conquests into other territories, the split between Sunni Islam and Shi’a Islam, the Crusades, the rise of Wahhabism, and the rise and fall of the Ottoman Empire. He also goes into a brief account of the colonial and the post-colonial period and the creation of the modern Muslim world, including the causes of the Palestinian and Kashmir conflicts. Through exploring these diverse but connected events, his goal is to show that Islamic history or civilization has not been a monolith and has been affected greatly by political or economic factors. The political or economic factors usually end up being Western interventions in the Muslim world. On a political level, Ali mentions that throughout the Cold War, the United States manipulated local actors in the Muslim world. He states that at this time, the United States had no reservations about supporting the Islamists who were staunchly anti-communist because these groups helped US interests in the region. Thus, the US directly supported some Islamist groups, especially in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Furthermore, Ali believes that much of US foreign policy was driven by materialist objectives. He states that securing influence over the oil reserves in the Middle East played a large role in policy towards the region, especially after the 1970’s. Ali also critiques Francis Fukuyama’s “End of History” thesis which argues that the progression of human history is a struggle between competing ideologies ended after the Cold War, and that the world will settle on liberal democracy as the ideology that has triumphed. Fukuyama calls for promoting liberal democracy and foreshadows that there will be a conflict with these views and those held by many Muslims around the world. Ali argues that the conflict will not occur because Muslims are inherently predisposed against liberal democratic values but because of the fundamentalist nature in which the West seeks to militarily impose these values in their countries. Although the book's title is about the clash between the fundamentalisms, Ali spends a greater amount of time covering the political and intellectual history of the Arab and South Asian Muslim world. Nonetheless, he provides an excellent counter to the prevailing views of Huntington and Fukuyama. His work should be, but of course isn't, considered on par with them.

I have never read a Dickens short story before, though I think he wrote quite a few. This one is quite different from his novels, almost like an Edgar Allan Poe story, which prompted me to see if one was an influence on the other. It seems likely not, though they did meet under somewhat stilted circumstances and maintained some acquaintanceship, described here http://www.trivia-library.com/b/famou...

Üç buçuk yıldız. Uzun süredir Haigh'ın yeni romanını dört gözle bekliyorum ve biraz hayal kırıklığına uğradığımı söylemeliyim. Durum, tüm zamanların en sevdiğim kitaplarından biri ve Bayan Kimble da mükemmeldi. İnanç o kadar iyi değil. Başlangıçta çok fazla gölgeleme vardı ve romanın aslında başlayacağını düşündüğünüzde, olmadı. Arsa zaman zaman zor gibi görünüyordu ve muhtemelen şok olması gerekiyordu katlanmış değildi. Katolik / İrlandalı / Boston'dan biri muhtemelen kitabı biraz daha takdir edecektir. Beni yanlış anlamayın, Haigh inanılmaz bir yazardır. Karakter yazımı da burada müthiş. Bu kitabı beğendiyseniz, The Condition ve Mrs. Kimble'ı kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.
