Say what you will about Pound as a person; say what you will about the value this book as an act of translation, as Pound knew little to nothing of the languages he was translating from. These "translations" are fantastic as poems in and of themselves, and should be read as such. Whether or not Pound can translate from the Chinese can be debated by minds greater than mine, but his renderings are beautiful.

Delicious, page turning French drama. Loved this one. Maupassant is like a cheekier Zola. I can read this one over and over.

This is a gritty tale set in the dark side of modern day India. Its focus is on the ever-present social disparities there as reflected on by an admittedly unsympathetic narrator (who reveals very early on that part of his path toward becoming an "entrepreneur" involved slitting the throat of his former master). It's a compelling story told in a unique voice that's worth reading.

The social satire is enjoyable (if a bit overkill), but it is in the exploration of dimensions where this book really shines.

Having just finished the book mere minutes ago, it's going to be hard not to go right to the ending. It was a fitting end for a book where Charles was struggling with his job as Executioner for bad little werewolves. By the way, if you're reading the Mercy books, but skipping this series, you need to catch up right away. There was a change that will affect all series set in this world, not just Anna and Charles' world. The main thrust of the story is Bran sent Anna to Boston to be a werewolf consultant on a serial killer case, where three of the most recent victims were werewolves. (Initially Adam was going to fill the role of consultant, but he was loath to leave Mercy while she is still incapacitated. She's a bad patient.) The secondary benefit of the trip being that Charles would have a task where he was saving lives, not taking them. Since the wolves have come out of the closet, Bran has had to be more strict in handing out justice, and Charles is that justice. His shamanistic heritage allows him to see spirits, and they have been haunting him to the point where he was pulling away from Anna and shutting down. Great book all around. The mystery, Charles' inner struggle, and the relationship between Charles and Anna are all nicely balanced. Can't wait for the next book. By the way, here's an author supplied timeline connecting the Mercy and the Alpha and Omega books.

Hard to get into at first, but quite lovely.

True confession: I have a serious love of Westerns - not so much the books, but the movies and TV shows. My father started me on them when I was a little girl. The first movie I remember seeing was the Seven Samurai, I still remember my father holding me on his lap while we watched. Seven SamuraiFirefly and if you haven't seen The Quick and the Dead you're missing out. Did I mention that the books and I just don't get along? I'm not entirely sure why other than that I really want them translated across the screen. It's one of the few genres where I prefer someone else to see it for me. Blood Red Road is a Western and it's going to be huge. The movie rights have been optioned by Ridley Scott and once you read the book you'll know why. Please don't skip the book and wait for the movie. The book is fabulous. Honestly, it had me in the synopsis with the phrase "gang of girl revolutionaries," but the reality of it is more than I imagined. The book is beautifully written with sparse words to mirror the spare landscape. Every character in the book is fully imagined. The main character, Saba, takes a glorious hero's journey complete with vulnerabilities, doubts, fear, and romance. She's not always nice and she's too independent for her own good, but people and circumstance force her to grow. Perhaps my favorite thing about this book is the way Ms. Young combines both Western and post-apocalyptic tropes (many of which come right straight out of video games like Fallout) into something completely unique. Like The Angels are the Reapers, the apocalypse is a fact and part of the landscape rather than something central to the book. I love the relationships in this book as Saba learns to love her little sister as much as she once hated her. Character growth is steady and realistic and my heart was fully engaged throughout. This is a book where girls rescue boys, but both genders are whole people with flaws and weaknesses and strength. A book where gender doesn't determine capability, where romance comes when you are least expecting it and least ready. A book that illustrates a budding romance that is realistic and not based on emotionally unavailable boys, a romance that is not emotionally abusive. I want to buy a copy for every girl (no matter the age) that I know. Book one in a proposed series, I'll be first in line for the next book and first in line for the movie, too.

Oh, man. I realize I'm weilding those "5-star" ratings a little heavily, but Sweet Jesus, this one is good. Like, fold-down-the-corners-so-you-can-go-back-and-read-that-passage-later good.

The author graciously signed my copy after a screening of What Is It?. What can I say? I'm a fan.

Amazing! It is not only a celebration of male youth; it is a celebration of humanity. Some of them are very well known stars, some others are completely unknown, but the achievement of the artist is that you really forget who is that when looking at the pictures, 'cause you get really absorbed by the beauty of the images, the expressions, the lights, the meanings... As it is said in the foreword, Gorman portrait them methaforically naked, so we can get a glimpse of their inner beauty. Wonderful!

Bu, bir ulus olarak bütün olarak yutacağımız ve içsel olarak bize yaptığı yıkıma rağmen gülümseyeceğimiz noktaya kadar ne kadar çok yeniden paketlendiğine dair çok samimi bir kitap. Bununla birlikte, fiziksel bedenlerimiz bir hoşgörü inşa edebildiği gibi, geçen yüzyılın konuşulamayacağı (ve büyük olasılıkla) şeyler için de tolerans geliştiriyoruz. Bu kitabı şiddetle tavsiye ediyorum.
