Good story, definitely got better after the midway point, but none of the characters were very likeable and sometimes their dialogue wasn't very realistic. The writing was not my style... Very long sentences interrupted by other thoughts - making some thoughts/plot lines hard to follow without going back a few times. But the story was good and always interesting to have a self-reflective narrative of the 9/11 days.

Meh. I too was sold on the hype and while I adore cynicism and wit, his is too mellow for me. I much prefer say, Stephen Colbert, etc. for quick razor sharp way with words. I think I liked his sister better. Anyhow, he's not so much misunderstood as understands all too well his own limitations, and again I can't relate to a constant struggle through life. I'm an optimist like that. Mildly funny, but not great.

(This isn't the right cover,the real one has a Ferris Wheel on it.) Read this in the airport waiting to go to Italy. It's beautiful. Not a chick book believe it or not. Shows how our lives affect so many other people and how we're all connected.

I've read all of du Maurier's books and I adore her twisted, sick, and unpredictable polt-twists and lack of sympathy and trust for any of her characters. That said, this book scared the living hell out of me, much more than The Birds, Rebecca, etc. This story offers a glimpse into the mind and soul of a true sociopath on his journey from poverty in Paris to becoming one of the richest men in London. Uhhhh, child hookers in Algeria? One swindle after the other? Choosing a wife because she'd be a nice backdrop to his life? Incest? Suicide? Murder? Yet all of it written with a unique touch of class? FUCK ME, IT DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THAT! I love you, Daphne du Maurier. :-D

I have accidentally took the second volume of the Build up series, but it was lucky pick. The plot was narrow and actually very interesting the sex scenes were hot and kinky and somehow when book ended I craved for the next volume. The sci-fi and porn sometimes made an interesting combinations. The politic can be vary dirty but from time to time the honest type of politician appears only to be crushed by system or fate. Nick Farr was that kind of politician and the false accusation of corruption was the exact starter of the circumstances, which eventually lead him to skilled hacker with strange conduct of honor, Justin Hobbs. Nick wanted to clear his name, but the things run so deep and they ended by invasion of his planetary system. Nick changed overnight from the politician who wanted clear his name to freedom fighter. Nick Hobbs wanted to have his job done and moved as soon ass the corruption case would be closed, but sudden invasion and muscular figure of his employer made a little complication in his plan. The last drop to his professional and emotional turmoil was accusation by Protectorate that he was criminal, which lead him straight to Nick services and bed as bonus. Unlikely pair was forced by the invasion and both men found out that there was something more that connected them like two dildos in Hobbs ass.

Before I get into Saul Bellow's little powerhouse of a novel, a word about introductions, forewords, and prefaces. Unless I finish a novel with a feeling of wonder, I rarely read the introduction. Any kind of foreword usually functions to inflate the page count, advertise the book (why, if I'm already reading a book, do I need to read an ad for it?), and attach some big shot author's name with the work at hand. However, there are those few introductions which function as great literature in their own right. Tom Wolfe, in his introduction to Bonfire of the Vanities (I have yet to read the book, but I have read the introduction at least three times), offers readers a lucid, hilarious, paradigm-shifting look at the history of style and content in the modern novel. David Eggers, in the Preface to A Hearbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, confronts every imagined complaint about his memoir and vehemently defends his choices, offering a blazing portrait of the self-consciousness that he goes on to explore in the book. And, in the intro to Seize the Day by Saul Bellow, Cynthia Ozick effectively illuminates literature's unique power, and spotlights Bellow's work as a defining example of that force. She compares literature, with its descriptions and suggestions, to the pre-processed sights and sounds of television and cinema. She mourns the time when novels were a shared language in our culture, saying the following: "If literature can give new eyes to human beings, it is because the thing held in common is seperately imagined." A world where we all share a certain bibliography, with which we all interact in our own imaginations, is difficult to imagine. We just don't read that much anymore, and the volume of books being published scatters the few readers left to their own favored genres and authors. So, fellow readers, if we are to correct this problem, I suggest that we start with Seize the Day. I suggest this for a few reasons. First, the book is notably short. Barely over one hundred pages, it is compact in its time span, plot, and action. Second, its density is astounding. It packs in stunning, nuanced explorations of loyalty, generations, marriage, financial stress, cities, psychology, spirituality, and the quest for the soul. Third, on the tail end of the second, it presents us with a shared Truth which we seperately imagine: We each have a soul that transcends our circumstances. The book spends its time in the head of Tommy Wilhelm, a failed actor and an unemployed salesman, seperated from his family, living in an apartment near his retired father in New York. Wilhelm throws his money into one last gamble, trusting a purported psychologist and investing in lard. While the mind of a character has been a common setting for novels in recent years, Bellow's choice to paint the landscape of his character's inner life was an innovation in its time, and it still astounds and inspires in its result, despite the flood of followers. The final chapter, moving in response to Wilhelm's misfortunes and poor choices, plunges deep after the human soul, until it is out of sight. The way Wilhelm falls apart, the way he rages and fumes and fights and grieves, all suggests some presence beyond comprehension. Some guiding platonic reality that requires the complete obliteration of his pride, self-delusion, and wealth. Very little in the story goes the way we might hope. But when we leave Wilhelm's story, and we are filled with a new, deeper sense of hope that transcends the events of the book. So the book leaves us with a sense of assurance that there is a soul within the man, but it allows us to wonder at its nature and to wonder at our own souls as well. That, fellow readers, is an outcome well worth both our shared exploration and our individual imagination.

I have to agree, I simply cannot rate this book because of the horror she endured. She is, in the end, a victor.

لیستی دستم بود و داشتم بین قفسه ها دنبال کتاب هایی که می خواستم، می گشتم. چشمم افتاد به کتاب شب های هند. بعد پیش خودم گفتم کتابی که توی اسمش هم از هند نام برده حتمن قرار است مفصل درباره هند نوشته باشد که ماجرایی هم در کنار آن تعریف می شود. هند، لباس های رنگ و وارنگ، موهای بلند، خال روی پیشانی، مکان های دیدنی، رسم و رسومات و جشن ها، عقاید و مذهب مردمش، وسایل حمل و نقل، خیابان های شلوغ، میمون ها و حیوان های دیگر و... خیلی چیزها بود که انتظار داشتم توی کتاب از آنها حرف زده شده باشد و با همین توقع کتاب را از قفسه برداشتم. قسمت اول کتاب یک گزارش حرفه ای است از روز اول سفر به هند. خیلی خوب نوشته شده و آدم را علاقه مند می کند به خواندن باقی قسمت ها. نویسنده هرچه را که دیده توصیف کرده: "روی پلاژ یک جشن مذهبی برپا بود یا شاید بازار مکاره ای بود و جمعیت جلوی چیزی که من نمی توانستم تشخیص دهم چیست ازدحام کرده و در هم می لولیدند. لب دریا ولگردانی بودند که پراکنده روی جانپناه دراز کشیده بودند و کودکانی که خنزر پنزر می فروختند و گدایان بسیار. یک ردیف دوچرخه مسافربر موتور دار هم بود و من در یکی از آنها جستم." یا این یکی: "محله ی قفس ها مفلوک تر از آن بود که تصور می کردم... بیشتر خانه های محله ی قفس ها از چوب و حصیر بود. روسپیان در اتاقک هایی بودند از تخته سرهم شده و پر شکاف و رخنه و سرشان را از پنجره گونه ی بسیار تنگی بیرون می آوردند. بعضی از این اتاقک ها از اتاقک های نگهبان چندان بزرگ تر نبود. علاوه بر اینها دکه هاو چادرهایی هم بود از کهنه پاره برپا شده و دکان و دستگاه هایی برای داد و ستدهای دیگر، که با چراغ های نفتی روشن شده بود و عده ای جلو هریک جمع شده بودند." این لحن گزارش ِ سفر مانند در باقی قسمت های کتاب هم حفظ شده. نویسنده درباره تمام آنچه در طول سفرش اتفاق افتاده، جاهایی که رفته است و با آدم هایی که صحبت کرده، می نویسد. ولی خب این توصیف ها طوری نیست که مشخص کند اینجایی که دارد درباره اش می گوید هند است. یعنی هر جای دیگری هم می تواند باشد گاهی. نه درباره لباس ها حرف می زند، نه خیلی دقت کرده روی وسایل نقلیه، وضعیت خیابان ها، محله ها، رفتار مردم و... و من که قبل از خواندن کتاب و با دیدن اسمش این انتظار را داشتم که توضیح مفصل از هرچه در هند وجود دارد را در کتاب بخوانم، انتظارم برآورده نشد. اما ماجرایی که در کنار سفر به هند تعریف می شود؛ ماجرا از این قرار است که مردی برای پیدا کردن دوستش به هند می آید و سرنخ هایی که دارد را دنبال می کند تا به او برسد. این ماجرا از همان اولین قسمت کتاب در کنار توصیف سفر عنوان می شود و همین طور ادامه پیدا می کند تا انتهای داستان. نویسنده وارد هیچ جزئیاتی نشده. هرچه دیده، هرجا رفته، هرچه شنیده و هرچه خورده را تعریف کرده است بنابراین ما تا انتهای داستان هم نه اطلاع چندانی از مرد داستان دستگیرمان می شود، نه آن دوستی که دنبالش می گردد.انگار نویسنده خیلی ارادی خواسته خواننده را بالاتکلیف رها کند. نظرم درباره کتاب شب های هند خیلی نزدیک به نظر زنی است که در انتهای کتاب با مرد همصحبت می شود و مرد خیلی خلاصه همین ماجرای کتاب را برایش تعریف می کند. زن همه را می شنود و می گوید: "در کتاب شما چیزی هست که باب طبع من نیست. نمی دانم این چیز چیست. ولی روی هم رفته کتابتان چنگی به دلم نزد."
