Diplomatın Karısı - Pam Jenoff TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Pegasus Yayınları

"Last Train to Paradise" is popular history at its best. This is the story of an era that is no more--a time when one man with unlimited resources, and more importantly, unlimited vision could accomplish something wondrous. Henry M. Flager, who co-founded Standard Oil with John Rockefeller, left his active role in the company 15 years after its birth to pursue his new passion: building the modern state of Florida. At the heart of this book is Flager's drive to see the Key West Railroad completed before his death. The idea of running train tracks all the way to Key West had been around for a while, but had been dismissed by most people as wildly impractical. Flager was determined to see it through, buoyed during the many challenges the project faced by his unshakable belief that the completion of the rail line, coupled with the opening of the Panama Canal, would transform Key West into a major port. (That part of Flager's vision was to remain unfulfilled.) The engineering challenges proved to be huge, and the toll of lost lives was great. But Flager persevered. The line was completed in 1912, slightly more than a year before Flager's death at eighty-three. It stood for twenty-three years, until its swift obliteration in the Labor Day hurricane of 1935. Author Les Standiford brings the creation and destruction of this rail line to life in vivid, novelistic detail. At the end, the reader is left pondering a question: Was the expenditure of lives and treasure worth it? If we could put that query to Henry Flager today, I believe the answer would be yes.

Einstein Gibi Düşünmek - Scott Thorpe TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Olimpos Yayınları

Probably one of the few collections with as much material crammed into one space as possible. I found this to be a solid introduction to the man and his work.

Tek Dünyaya Doğru Antik İran Ve Batı-Warwick Ball TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Ayrıntı Yayınları

** spoiler alert ** Just not nearly what I hoped it would be. I LOVE the premise, but I thought most of the individual chapters were unnecessary or tangential. A friend suggested maybe it would have made a better essay in a magazine (like New Yorker) and I have to agree with that. I also expected it would talk more about the books than it did. Perhaps it would be a better book/story if she had waited a couple of decades to get more perspective on the (reading) Streak and how it affected (will affect) her life.* I feel like some of the chapters or stories were self-indulgent and sophomoric and not related enough to the main thread of the streak. The last few chapters were the best and worthwhile on their own as comments on the state of affairs of books/reading in American schools at this moment in time. The idea of reading aloud with your children at all ages is truly admirable. And for that reason, I am glad this book exists and is getting good press. *maybe a follow up in a few decades?! I am curious how/what she will read to her own children.

Benim Adım Nele: Nele Ve Ailesi Deniz Kenarına Gidiyor - Usch Luhn TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Çocuk Gezegeni

By far this book series is the best I have ever read. I fell in love with both characters and their story. This story is so rich with history and timeless love that can survive anything. Starvation, War, Tragedy, Loss. I cried when I finished it and can't stop thinking about it. I hope that these books are made into movies!

Şirin Fransada Büyük Fiyasko - Birsen Ekim Özen TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Timaş Çocuk

This book was entirely too long. Franzen is a good, cocky, New Yorker style writer, but this was just WAY TOO FREAKING LONG. The whole side plot about the technology scam in Eastern Europe? Could have done with that. Could have done without that whole character, actually.

Kurallar - Rene Descartes TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: İdea Yayınevi

I'm not quite sure what to think of this sequel. It certainly is not as big in scope as the first book. There is less novelty and depth. But, it is more than just a book to move the plot forward. Many of the passages are hard to follow-- I think on purpose. Yet, they typically have something of worth when you look hard at them. There is little that I remember from having read it before-- not a surprise given the shape of the book. But I liked it and the plot moved relentlessly forward with my captured attention.

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Kitap Yayınevi

here's the thing: shukert is really funny at times, but she makes too many jokes about rape. maybe this means i do not have a sense of humor, but put me in the camp that does not find rape jokes humorous. sorry.
