The plot had potential, but the writing was horrendous. Gold Star for finishing this. I can see why so many people liked it (it's a mindless read, good for an airplane or beach vacation, with a decent story), but I always expect more from the fiction I read. (Hence why my favorites include The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer.)

The most twisted grouping of fairy tales you will ever read and yet a must read. If you like retellings of classics fairy tales then this is the book for you.

نظریه معروف "تعهد نویسنده" در این اثر سارتر منعکس شده، که در دوران جنگ سرد بین بلوک غرب و شرق، بین روشنفکران و نویسندگان هر دو اردوگاه، و به ویژه از سوی روشنفکران جهان سوم با استقبال روبرو شد و پیروان بسیاری داشت. اگرچه برخی معتقدند نظریه ی تعهد سارتر در ادبیات که لاجرم نویسنده را به عقیده ای سیاسی ملزم می کند، با نظریه ی آزادی انسان که توسط سارتر مطرح شده، مغایرت دارد. ادبیات چیست را ابوالحسن نجفی و مصطفی رحیمی به فارسی زیبا و روانی برگردانده اند که در 1348 توسط خوارزمی (زمان؟) منتشر شده است. فصل بلندی از این کتاب (وضعیت نویسنده...)، در نسخه ی فارسی نیامده، و مترجمان برای این کار، دلایلی گنگ ارائه کرده اند که بنظر می رسد علت اصلی اش "سانسور" دوران آریامهری بوده باشد. در مورد ژان پل سارتر، مطلبی جداگانه نوشته ام؛ http://www.goodreads.com/author_blog_...

It's not fair for me to really review this one since I read it so long ago and seriously cannot remember anything about it. But, since it's Dickens, it is a read-again.

OK, but not great. Bridget was a little too high maintenance for my taste. Didn't see any of the movies.

Funny95x. I read it over and over again and I love it more and more.

Donald Miller makes his travels, his thoughts, and his relationships somehow incredibly relatable. Again - a book ultimately about pondering big questions - and again done in a very casual style. Enjoyable. Easy read.

Another spin-off of the Malloren series. When Cate Burgoyne (male) rescues her from attackers, Prudence Youlgrave is hesitant to open up to him--yet they from a sort of bond as she confesses to him that her middle-class brother (who lives in another town) is neglecting her and she barely has enough money to survive. When she finally goes to her brother and obtains his help, she finds herself married off to an unappealing merchant. Cate arrives just in time to stop the wedding and steal the bride...if only he could keep the outraged spurned suitor from attempting revenge, and get up the nerve to tell his new wife that he's become an Earl since he last saw her... This is not one of the sexier Beverleys, but I did enjoy it a great deal. The book explores in some detail the contrasts between Prudence's middle-class life and the aristocratic life of the Burgoynes, but does not neglect character development. Both the hero and heroine have things to prove--Cate's been regarded by his family all his life as a screw-up, and he has to prove himself as the head of the family and master of his estates; Prudence, married outside her class, has to prove herself as competent and a a good wife for a man she hardly knows. How they grow into their new roles, and their new relationship, makes the meat of the book, but there is a little bit of action as well (and also a dramatically fun scene involving Diana, Countess of Arradale, from Devilish, hearkening back to what it meant to be a lord or lady of the North (the book is set in Yorkshire) even before the Georgian period). Definitely worth reading.

Teen suicide isn’t exactly a humorous topic so it may come as a shock to some readers to find that Ned Vizzini’s book, It’s Kind of a Funny Story, manages to bring a few smiles even as it deals with such a very un-funny topic. Though it is not autobiographical, Vizzini began work on Story only one week after he himself was released from an adult psychiatric hospital. This experience lends an air of authenticity to the story, which follows Craig Gilner on a roller coaster of depression, anxiety, and recovery. An over-achieving, neurotic, disconnected teen, Craig is so burned out by the age of fifteen that he comes to a drastic decision. He will bike to the Brooklyn Bridge and throw himself off. Somehow, though, he ends up calling the Suicide Hotline instead and decides to give this life thing one more shot. Instead of throwing himself into the river, Craig throws himself at the mercy of the psychotherapists, doctors, and nurses at the psych ward of the hospital just around the corner from his home. There he meets a cast of characters who are all as damaged as he is--a transvestite sex addict, a couple of self-professed “garbage heads,” a schizophrenic, a paranoid college professor, and a girl so broken that she has scarred her own face. Though he only stays in the hospital for five days, Craig undergoes a transformation surrounded by his fellow misfits. Slowly he comes to understand just what has caused his anxiety and depression and how to deal with the craziness of his surroundings without losing his mind. With its frequent references to drugs, drinking, sex, and teen suicide, It’s Kind of a Funny Story is, to say the least, controversial. But it takes a frank and necessary look at the mad dysfunction of adolescence in America. As Randy Pausch once said, “Children are living the stories we wouldn’t let them read.” Vizzini gives voice and face to these “children” with grace and courage. A realistic, heart-breaking, and somehow laugh-out-loud funny rendition of what it means to be young and imperfect in post-modern America.

Some excellent short stories and some that seem a little self indulgent and making points for the sake of it. The story in homage to John McGahern is a mini masterpiece.
