Türkiye'Nin Paylaşılması Hakkında Yüz Proje-Trandafir G. Djuvara TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

"Come in from the Cold" (the choice of title is sketchy at best), a 1994 publication, is this month's choice for one of the book clubs that I belong to. It surprised me in many ways. First of all, it scares me sometimes how the seemingly random way in which I choose the books I read, and in what order, always seems to yield very timely connections to the things going on in my life or the other books I have recently read. I just finished a week of booktalks in which one of the themes I discussed was photography as found in the literature in our collection. I showed some iconic photos and asked students to try to identify the photo. One of the photos I chose was the one taken at Kent State on March 4th, 1970. If you are of my generation, you will immediately recognize it. A college age young woman is kneeling beside the body of a young man who is face down on the pavement. She looks around her pleadingly. Her face says, "How did this happen? Please help me!" The day after anti-Vietnam War protesters had bombed a building on campus, the National Guard randomly opened fire on protesters and students, killing four. I talked about the fact that I had chosen this photo because of the recent spate of peaceful protests (well, at least they began that way) throughout the world where the common men and women have risen up to challenge their condition. Then over the weekend I pick up Qualey's book, which is set in 1970 and deals with the Vietnam era and peaceful protest - and specifically talks about Kent State. How weird is that? Now I have another book to talk about tomorrow! Secondly, Marsha Qualey was surprisingly edgy for 1994. Even for 2011. This really surprised me. Though drinking, drugs, smoking, sex, and free love were definitely a part of the era, she does more than merely mention them. Not that there aren't edgier things out there, however. The original cover is horribly dated - the paperback cover could sell books though. The book is set in Minnesota, beginning in 1969. The story is narrated first by Maud Dougherty whose sister is a war protester, and then by Jeff Ramsey whose brother is about to leave for a tour of duty in Vietnam. Both of the initial narrations are overly long - 44 pages for Maud and nearly 60 for Jeff. As I read the first section, I thought the story was going to be a mystery involving Maud's sister, Lucy. Qualey sets this whole thing up and then totally abandons it for the rest of the book. When the second section begins with a new narrator, it is jolting and confusing. Eventually, the reader realizes that the lives of the two narrators will somehow become entwined. The ending, in which the two characters run away, in a sense, from the real world is ultimately dissatisfying. Though Jeff denies to his mother that they are running away, they are. Many emotional issues and plot lines are left unresolved. Qualey does a good job of accurately representing the era and its predominant issues: the reasons we were in the Vietnam war, power and money, peaceful protest, the draft, loss and grief, draft dodging, communes, hippies, drugs, free love...it's all there. In this sense, especially to those who lived during the era, it gives the reader a lot to think about. And with current issues like peaceful protest, the war(s)in the Middle East, etc. there is something here for the current generation as well. A fast, easy read. Just O.K.

A friend recommended this book to me before my first visit to BENIN. It is a very good book in any case, essential if you are going to or are in Benin.

Geometri - Mustafa Kemal Atatürk TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Türk Dil Kurumu Yayınları

I suppose this is a murder mystery of sorts, but i don't like describing it as such. The main character grapples with his own identity, tries to find himself an interesting place in the world. Richard Papen recalls his University years, and how he got involved with a very strange, imposing little gaggle of greek goths. His voice is reasonable, but his actions are often not. It's an unsettling book, authored in such a lingering voice that elements of it still crop up in my dreams years after reading it... Not always nice dreams. After reading Little Friend I realised why: Donna Tartt has a knack for committing unthinkable acts in the most mundane ways. She acts as if she is merely telling a story, untill you put the book down and realise that every fibre of your reality has just been questioned, and you've been stripped of all answers. The Secret History is one of those rare books that goes beyond the medium. The story pours of the page so intensely, that I forgot to hold on to the physical thing once, and dropped it in the bath!

First thoughts after finishing this book: "Um....can I find a vending machine filled with HOT cowboys?" I love me some buff, hot, testosterone dripping, alpha male COWBOY! Was that bit over the top? Ha! Let me just say that this book was a great one to pick up after reading the emotionally draining Cross Currents. I was able to lose myself in Lacey and Chase's love story. I know that on more than one occasion I had that stupid look on my face that I get when I'm reading a very steamy love scene....and there were plenty of those in this book. But, I found them all to be right in line with the attraction between Lacey and Chase. It wasn't cheap sex...and it was very well written. There was more to the story than just what was going on between the sheets and that is why I really enjoyed this one. Recommend? If you enjoy romance with brawny, sexy cowboys (who wouldn't..did you check out that cover?) and a good love story to boot (pun intended) then I would tell you to grab this one. Make sure that you're reading it when no one else is around..I got busted two times during lunch reading this book. Both times my friend knew that I was reading a hot love scene. How you say? That stupid grin I get when the story is heating up and I'm loving the details! I'm going to read them all, but alone, locked in my room with no one around...except my husband! (insert devil grin!) Rating: 8/10 (rating for excellent sex scenes and a story that kept me engaged)

If you like any of the following: Douglas Adams, J.R.R. Tolkien, Monty Python, or C.S. Lewis, you will love Sourcery (and any Discworld book). It's full of irreverent humour that only the British can achieve (note the spelling) and has an interesting story with characters that grow and develop as you read. Highly recommended!
