Reading this book made me really hungry and also made me want to travel to Anguilla. I really enjoyed most of the book. The last few chapters were my least favorite part. When I do make it to Anguilla, I hope that Blanchard's is still around.

I purchased this book because I have been intrigued by San Miguel de Allende, a colonial city in Mexico dating from the 1600s where thousands of Norteamericanos (both American and Canadian artists and writers) live. Many of these gringos have established artists' colonies and workshops in San Miguel for people like myself for small snippets of time. Cohan, an established writer, and his wife, a painter, moved to San Miguel from Los Angeles in the mid-1980s when the gringo population was only about 2 percent. And San Miguel at the time was much smaller than it is today. (No strip malls.) In fact, the area didn't even have an international airport and when Cohan writes about the four-hour bus rides to the Mexico City airport, to some extent he is referencing a Mexico of the past: When the 80-year-old single political party system was crumbling, the era when the government owned many basic industries such as the national telephone company, and the peso was valued so low that hotel rooms in San Miguel cost the equivalent of $5 a night. The book's title is apt for Cohan's pacing... sloooow. Cohan describes his and his wife's cultural adjustments, their Mexican and gringo friends, and the purchase and renovation of a historic home. He also writes a lot about local food, flowers, music and religious customs and his wife's art -- which was heavily influenced by living in Mexico -- but he hardly describes any of his writing from the time and how Mexico shaped it. In addition to the slow pace, "On Mexican Time" lacks an interesting plot. This is intentional on Cohan's part. In the book Cohan criticizes writers such as Graham Greene who bounced in and out of Mexico and imprinted their cultural framework on their stories about fiestas, lawlessness and music. True, many of these writers may have been inadvertently racist or colonialist. But at least they were interesting. Cohan is not. I also was insulted by Cohan's assumption that readers like myself couldn't handle the truth. Readers -- especially ones who purchase a book with the title "San Miguel" -- are sophisticated enough to read between the lines. We can tell when an author may be biased. We can disagree with an author's interpretation of events. But most of the reason why I was so disappointed in the book was because I just couldn't relate to Cohan. I didn't find myself trusting him. He was a post-modern man living in very-much modern, 1980s Cold War Era Mexico. He complained about the American and Canadian tourists who were driving up prices and developing outside of town. Yet he also was an interloper. Sometimes I wondered whether he chose Mexico as a place to be entertained, especially since he seemed to spend so much time looking at shrines and churches, despite not being a believer.

I enjoyed this book tremendously. Cried at the end over Sirius. Wah! Unfair. I enjoyed that there was an enemy that wasn't Voldemort on the loose.

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Kırmızı Kedi Yayınevi

I loved this second book in the Seven Kingdoms series more than the first one. I think it's because I liked Fire (the main character of this book) much better than I liked Katsa in the first book. I look forward to reading Bitterblue.

This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite novels. The plot is so tight. There's a reason for everything and the characters are offbeat and relatable. I love it each and every time I re-read it (every few years or so).

Ever yearn for an occurrence in your brain characterized essentially by the uniting of the subject and object? Samadhi? Visions of God? Want to step outside the myth of dialectics? Bound too fastly to your inherited metaphysics? Well this is the place to start. I'm working on it.

I've read this far: Martin Luther King Junior is no longer at Preacher school and has been inspired by the lines at the food kitchen's to preach well-informed lectures. The bus boycotts had just begun. My favorite part is reading how his lectures were envisioned as gems, or diamonds in the rough, as designs that needed to be brought out. I can't find the passage in the book, and it is so much information to read and take in that I'd also recommend the comic book, King.

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından:

While I did enjoy this fifth in the series, it was not as much fun as the ones previously. In the past I was incredibly impressed by the originality and innovation of Fforde's ideas about the BookWorld, but since this installment was set mainly in the real world, we did not get to see as much of this. I also found the "villain" of the book to be less compelling than in the past. However, all of the inclusion of time travel was great fun, mind-boggling though it is, and I am glad I read it.

I didn't read this when I was younger and felt like I missed out. It was great, I think I can appreciate it more now than if I had read it in elementary school.
