2001 Bir Uzay Efsanesi TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Arthur C. Clarke

Prior to reading this novel, my experience with pulp fiction was limited to a Tarantino movie and a few stories I read as part of a Master's course in crime and detective stories. I came to the book with no knowledge about Walter Gibson or Lester Dent and no real interest in pulps. How much of the novel is true? I'd say about 1/4 truth, 3/4 pulp. But truth is not the point--the story is everything in this novel and, as the narrator says, "never let the facts get in the way of a good story." Set during the height of the pulp fiction era, the novel follows Walter Gibson (author of The Shadow) and Lester Dent (author of Doc Savage), two titans of the time period. In addition, authors L. Ron Hubbard (pre-Scientology freakishness), H.P. Lovecraft, and Robert Heinlein all make appearances as characters (even Orson Welles shows up). The book is unique in that it doesn't try to serve as a biography of these characters. Instead, it pays homage to these authors by setting them in a sensationalistic pulp in which they are the protagonists--a fitting tribute to authors who thrilled so many with tales of courage and adventure, unspeakable horror, and plot twists and turns that would give the reader whiplash. The story is full of pulp hallmarks--dashing cowboys, Chinese assassins, beautiful women just bad enough to be good, a maniacal villain willing to stop at nothing to seek revenge (and maybe just rule the world while he's at it), a military secret that threatens society as we know it, zombies, and even a psychic with a chicken. There are train rides, boat rides, and plane rides. There's treasure, treachery, and romance. The book is fun, which was what the pulps were meant to be and, in some ways, isn't that more important than all the highbrow literary snobbery that purports to reflect on the human experience? The last chapter was pitch perfect and there's a nice twist concerning the narrator of the story. The narrator laments the fact that "The pulps, the pages where American myths had been born, were gone" as "decency and morality oozed across the nation like black tar and old blood" (leave it to decency and morality to ruin a good thing). By the novel's end, I, too, mourned the heyday of the pulps and was glad I got to spend some time in one. Cross posted at This Insignificant Cinder and Shelf Inflicted

It was a good read. Derek and I read it together and he was screaming at the ending because it left some major things undone. Good twists and turns that kept us guessing until the end.

Zagor Sayı: 144 TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Lal Kitap

my first textbook introduction to environmentalism. EYE OPENING BOOK! I was required to read this for intro to environmental studies at UC Davis. It actually had a little secion in the book that highlighted a sustianable community in Davis, though the book was not written by a professor at Davis. The book was very progressive thinking for a textbook.

Closed Circuit (Kapalı Devre) (Bas Oynat) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından:

There''s something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori. Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price''s attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He''s the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move. Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce--and goes out of his way to make that very clear--she can''t let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her. Dangerously exciting and darkly romantic, Fallen is a page turning thriller and the ultimate love story.

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Kök Yayınevi

I enjoyed this one better than the first. I love how all the various characters interact with one another. More details of the some of the previously "closed off" characters are being revealed. I do wish the romantic angle was a bit more prominant in this series. That being said, I'm truly unsure of which characters to trust and which to be leary of. That makes for an interesting read.

Dava (Minikitap) - Franz Kafka TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Can Yayınları

This was actually one of Pratchett's funnier books. Loved all of the Scottish slang, especially when Roland was referred to as a "Big Heap o' Jobbies"! Very, very funny and glad to have a cameo appearance of Granny Weatherwax, too.

I loved the book. I couldn't put it down. I laughed, cried, and was genuinely drawn to all emotions expressed in the book. I was literally sucked into Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960s.

Really liking this series, each book has dealt with a different set of characters within the same group. Premise...post-disaster Seattle, Church missionaries vs. witches; lots of fight action and sex. Will pick up the next one!
