Ernie Ball P04600 Gitar Askı Kiliti TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Ernie Ball

I started by being underwhelmed by this very British book. The first hundred pages or so read slowly and, at times, awkwardly for me. Then, all of a sudden, I started to pick up the cadence of the writing and feel more curiosity and involvement. Although I did not end it with a complete sense of satisfaction I still feel my time with the story was worthwhile. It certainly had much to lend itself to me as a reader. The location: Northern England (Sheffield). As an inhabitant of the Rust Belt, I have always found a commonality with the North of England. They have shuttered mines. We have shuttered steel mills. The young people leave Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield for London and the South just like they flee Cleveland, Buffalo and Detroit for Atlanta, Nashville or even Columbus. Those of us who stay construct a perverse pride in living in a place few would choose. As a teenager I became devoted to the acerbic gloom of the Manchester Sound and it spoke to me as a soundtrack to my own life along the shores of the aptly named Lake Erie. The time line: 1970s, 80s and early 90s. This being my childhood, my heyday and my launch into adulthood. As an egotistic reader I enjoy books with some characters who roughly share my age and generational experience. Some of the key plot elements occur during the summer of 1984 -- the summer I spent in England. And the very British quality of the story. I am an unabashed Anglophile. I did, however, find the book to be somewhat uneven. Philip Hensher created as cast of interesting characters. Some of them were very well drawn. I found his handling of the two married couples, Katherine and Malcolm Glover and Bernie and Alice Sellers to be poignant, real and meaningful. The Glovers and the Sellerses are neighbors on the same street in a Sheffield suburb who first meet on a rather dramatic day in the early 1970s, when Bernie and Alice move their family up from London so that he can take a new job with "the electricity" . After a rocky beginning they settle in as neighbors and so begins a lifetime of the accidental entanglement this situation confers. The depiction of the two marriages is, essentially, a love story based in real life. I took these couples to heart and easily bought into their relationships. Their children were a different matter. Daniel Glover, the eldest son of Malcolm and Katherine is a central character and much of the story is told through his point of view. This positioning renders him more sympathetic than his siblings and cohorts across the road. His sister, Jane is brittle and bitter and I wanted to know more about her personality disorders. Her story seemed sketchily rendered. Tim, the youngest, is a troubling and troubled person. The reader is invited into Tim's head and often, does not want to remain there. At least Tim's motivations and actions -- though somewhat implausible -- are explained a bit more. Sandra and Francis Sellers are also cast as extreme personalities. Francis seems to have been born with some of his interpersonal issues. Sandra's are hinted at from the beginning -- again with very little underlying rationale given -- and, after a long absence from the plot, her character is brought back into the story for a climactic scene. I found the drama interesting. But I found several of the characters to be either difficult to relate to or an interesting character sketch without enough background filled in to answer my questions about their motives and actions. Hensher is talented. I understand why he is one to look out for in further reading. I went into this book with all kinds of expectations due to the Booker imprimatur. Although the story did not always stand up to this heady literary connotation, it was a fine read with glimmers of transcendence. I'll look for more from this author.

Başarma Yolunda Adım Adım - Herbert N. Casson TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Etap Yayınevi

Enjoyable mystery, but not as cleverly written as the Sherlock Holmes stories. It is frustrating that the reader is not told about a lot of the investigation, making the solution impossible to guess. Nevertheless, the late 40s make an interesting setting and the characters are fun. I'd read more of them.

Should be read if only for the story "The Night Whiskey." Small town gothic. Love it. Also "The Dismantled Invention of Fate," which might be the best title ever.

A well written biography of an individual who attained stardom, if not martyrdom in this post modern age. A great read, well researched, touching on all the major themes of Che's life. How surprised folks will be when the read about the executiner Che, the reactionary fascist disciplinarian he becomes in his late life, the man abandoned by the fates which guided him to power earlier. Read this, before you mindlessly sport the shirt.

Good book, especially at first, but as Elphaba ages the story gets more confusing and less exciting.

new american cinema figure who wrote a great film theory/history book... a great autodidact who took something like a year's worth of lunches with pound at the asylum... his learning and eccentricity comes across in his strange range and odd vocabulary--a little show-offy but incredibly vast. very quotable, e.g.: "I was born during the Age of Machines. A machine was a thing made up of distinguishable 'parts' organized in imitation of some function of the human body. Machines were said to 'work.' How a machine 'worked' was readily apparent to an adept, from inspection of the shape of its 'parts.' The physical principles by which machines 'worked' were intuitively verifiable. The cinema was the typical survival-form of the Age of Machines. Together with its subset of still photographs, it performed prizeworthy functions: it taught and reminded us (after what then seemed a bearable delay) how things looked, how things worked, how to do things... and of course (by example), how to feel and think. We believed it would go on forever, but when I was a little boy, the Age of Machines ended. We should not be misled by the electric can opener: small machines proliferate now as though they were going out of style because they are doing precisely that. Cinema is the Last Machine. It is probably the last art that will reach the mind through the senses. It is customary to mark the end of the Age of Machines as the advent of video. The point in time is imprecise: I prefer radar, which replaced the mechanical reconnaissance aircraft with a static anonymous black box. Its introduction coincides quite closely with the making of Maya Deren's Meshes of the Afternoon and Willard Maas's Geography of the Body. The notion that there was some exact constant at which the tables turned, and cinema passed into obsolescence and thereby into art, is an appealing fiction that implies a special task for the metahistorian of cinema."

This is one of those books that I saw everywhere and everyone seemed to love it. Unfortunately I never managed to get my hands on it until now~ and boy, was I missing out! This book was just as great as I'd heard! Penny is an amazing character. She has flaws, so she felt real. But she has a heart of gold. I just loved her! And they way she got so many girls to bond together and really realize how much girls could have each others backs was awesome. Of course there are still those petty girls that try to mess it up, and boys who pick on them, but they always had each others backs, even when things were changing. I really loved that. I loved that all of the characters were important. Not just Penny, but her friends, Tracy and Diane, her parents, her sister, the list goes on. They all had an important role no matter how short it was, they shaped the story quite a lot. I love the romance in the book and how they were friends and realized the importance of their friendship before they ever considered a relationship. I think that was an important lesson to teenage girls. Heck, the whole book is great for teenage girls. Just to remind them that their life doesn't have to evolve around boys. And that your friends are the most important thing.
