... not to judge it by its cover. (Hope it holds true when I do get to read it.

Oh no! One of the best characters has been killed! I am so sad! Connie has gone off her rocker! AKA, fulfilling her destiny and all that. What is Jack going to do now?

When the body of an American soldier, who died 60 years ago, is found on the beach of a small village by Minna and Tom, it makes a good story for the newspapers. Felix, who used to live in the village, hears about Lew Campbell's body and decides to re-visit the area after being evacuated from there during the war. After a chance meeting between Minna (who is mourning the loss of her son) and Felix the two women become friends and confide in each other. Over time we learn of how Felix knew Lew and Minna becomes obsessed with the story and wants to know what happened to him.....how much does Felix know? I really liked both the main characters and I was hoping they both could find happiness. For them both it is a healing process and they need to find closure. Eliza Graham's debut novel is an engaging story, the writing is pacy, it's never boring and, just like Minna, I was always wanting to find out more of Felix's story. This is a wonderful story of loss, guilt and how it affects many lives.

In Culture and Imperialism, Edward Said argues that much of western culture have been historically implicated in the Western project of empire-building. Said concentrates on literary texts, particularly the novel, to expound on this connection. While some novels may not directly call for the subjugation of foreign peoples or distant territories, these texts nonetheless refers to these colonizing ventures as pre-given or ideal. Reactionary notions of inferior “Others” as well as the acquisition of colonies are presented as part of the natural order of things and are therefore legitimized. In Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park for instance, to cite some of the works surveyed by Said, “references to the protagonist’s colonial possessions give him his wealth, occasion his absences, fix his social status at home and abroad, and make possible his values.” The colonial order, the novel thus suggests to its readers, provides the condition of possibility for domestic wealth and bliss. In Thackeray’s Vanity Fair and Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, an Indian Businessman and a Caribbean wife living in England are depicted as social undesirables. Wealth from the Australian penal colony meanwhile makes Pip’s Great Expectations possible in Charles Dickens’ novel. And of course, the aboriginal Friday becomes the dutiful servant of Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe. Other novels, especially by the likes of Joseph Conrad or Rudyard Kipling (of “The White Man’s Burden” fame) have been less concealing of the imperialist bent in their works. The Latin Americas, Africa, and Asia, in these narratives are imagined to be uninhabited lands of milk and honey, the home of exotic peoples ready for plunder and adventure, or the domain of primitive barbarians that should be civilized. From A Modest Proposal: Ban All Those Books!

An amazing cast recounting the "first person accounts" of the Zombie War. An interesting read not only because it is well written, but because it follows a long lineage of zombie stories that touch on moral, sociological, and personal levels far deeper than the surface.

This book has one of the coolest beginnings of almost any I've read, but after it I got a little disappointed from what I had been expecting.

More like 2.75. It was cute, but not the first book of this genre I'd recommend. Or even the 10th. Perhaps explained by the fact that the author apparently wrote more than 50 books in 10 years!

I learned an incredible amount of information about Afghanistan from this book. From the culture, to expectations of relationships, to the politics...I enjoyed learning about every aspect of this country and culture.

Don't get this book to learn about Estonia--although if you read it you will surely learn something about the tiny Baltic country. The sub-title has it exactly right: it's a "ramble through the periphery". Estonia is not a travel book or a history in any typical sense; it's a frequently funny, crank's catalog of Estonia as observed by a hyper-literate, cantankerous traveler. It's 300 pages of creatively-connected observations about television, movies, music, food, culture, manners, religion, weather, personalities, and (of course) language that's brought about by the author's trip to Estonia to accompany his wife on her Fulbright scholarship. This is in no way an "objective" book about Estonia. As Theroux sums it up himself: "I daresay my Estonia is as much about me and my crotchets as it is about anything else . . ." I daresay. I also wouldn't recommend this book as an introduction to Theroux; one of his novels would probably be the best place to start. Estonia is similar to his "colors" essays--rambling, list-heavy, digressions on a topic. In this case the topic is Estonia, instead of Red, Yellow, or Blue. I would, however, recommend Estonia to any one who is already a fan of Theroux. If you share his passion for the rhetoric of outrage, you'll love his irritible digressions on politics, religion, fellow travelers, and nearly everything else he encounters. He's an oddly fun travel companion--especially when he's grousing.

Bu, inanılmaz bir kütüphaneci tarafından bir araya getirilen "2008'in En İyi YA Kitapları" listesinden okumayı seçtiğim ilk kitap. Bilim kurgu seçimlerinin bir parçasıydı. Bence bu, spektrumdaki genç yetişkin okuyucular için işe yarayabilir. Daha isteksiz okuyucular "robotik bir kız" fikrine takılabilirken, daha varlıklı okuyucular "insanlık nedir?", "Bilim çok ileri gidiyor" ve "gerçekten bu yöne mi gidiyoruz? gerçek dünyada?" ... bu kitap bu alanda bir sürü soruya izin veriyor. Bu kitabı okuyan bir yetişkin olarak, iyi yazılmış bir sayfa çevirici olarak buldum, ancak sonları zevklerim için biraz ani olsa da (ancak genç bir yetişkin okuyucu için muhtemelen gerekli kapanışı veriyor). SPOILER UYARI ... Dane ile olan anlaşma neydi? Onunla bir şey mi kaçırdım? Ya dikkat etmiyordum ve okuldaki koşullarını açıkladıkları kısmı kaçırdım ya da bir netice planladığı için kasıtlı olarak açık uçlu bırakıldı. Bence bu karakterin daha iyi açıklanması gerekiyordu.
Kullanıcı, bu kitapları portalın yayın kurulu olan 2017-2018'de en ilginç olarak değerlendirdi "TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi" Tüm okuyucuların bu literatürü tanımalarını tavsiye eder.
