Загуба на време. Става за четене ако пътува човек ...

After the Wouk books, I wanted more of the Churchill-FDR relationship and this was fascinating.

This was a beautifully true story about a friendship between Ann Patchett and fellow author Lucy Grealy. For a totally different perspective (and altogether different story), read "Autobiography of a Face" by Lucy Grealy. I totally loved both books.

Imagine yourself at a party. Eventually you bump into a corporate big wig who catches your attention for having been extremely successful in business. You begin chatting with him. The conversation starts out interesting enough. He tells you how he used to work in a little cigar shop owned by his father. How through hard work and determination he set himself apart and landed a job at a nearby hotel working as a bell boy. He tells you as a bell boy he had great people skills, he understood exactly what people wanted from a bell boy and he delivered it to them. That when fussy customers would prove difficult all eyes turned to him to resolve the issue. Eventually he managed to take over the cigar counter at the hotel he worked as a bell boy. He made it profitable. At this point in the conversation/the book around page 100, you start to look around for an escape from the conversation and this single minded worker bore/ you'll be tempted to stop reading this book. You don't see an escape and the one sided conversation continues. You listen how through small steps and his ambition he has come to own first a restaurant, then a chain restaurants and then a string of hotels and on and on.... Then the conversation takes an unexpected twist as he starts to talk about the encounters he has had with women. Some before he was married with women he worked with in the hotel, some during his marriage. All presented in the cadence of a business presentation. He states "I had relations with the brunette upstairs because my wife was too sleepy on our wedding night". "I slept with the foxy blond from the lobby because she wanted it". Amazingly none of this elicits an emotional response from either of anybody other than the course banality of this man's life. A veneer of American dream glamor covering emptiness. That's the book. A boring one sided party conversation with an egotistical high achiever. A portrait of a man having accomplished the capitalist dream of making a ton of money but having lived a life so one sided that you can't help feeling sorry for the guy. All his interests and passions directed to the buildings and business that have made him money. This book won the Pulitzer for what it did very well. Plodding through the bleakness that can accompany money grubbing success, but for me it was not a particularly enjoyable read.

Unlike other Salman Rushdie books, this book is really easy to read because it's written like children's story. There's a ton of underlying metaphors throughout, but it's still a nice, easy read.

Wonderful ... again! One of my very favorite series, and this time I just wanted some light reading before beginning what promises to be a semester of very heavy reading! April 2015 ... read again and enjoyed it just as much. Again the "light reading" was a welcome relief after some heavier reading in March. The romance, and the faith, all work together for a delightful story.

A decent overview of Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Lutheranism, Presbyterianism, Anglicanism, Baptists, Pentecostals, and Methodists. He gives a brief history, major beliefs, and things to appreciate/learn from them. For the most part he is respectful of all traditions/denominations, however I feel not as much in regards to the Baptists as it is the only tradition that he includes jokes regarding. In my opinion, that was out of line and out of place. Additionally, on page 119 he says "United Methodists still value the intellect and believe they are not to "check their brain at the door" when they enter church." Ummmm....and other denominations do??? That aside, it is a good read and helps lay out the basic beliefs of the above mentioned denominations.

Citesc cam tot ce tine de Liiceanu,incat "Jurnal la Paltinis" nu prea mi-a scapat din maini.Reprezinta o carte cu amintiri de aur,in ceea ce-l priveste pe autor,unde C-tin Noica reprezinta un adevarat pilon in cateva capitole,altele mai nastrusnice decat altele.

I actually haven't finished reading all the stories in this collection. But I've really enjoyed the ones I've read. I use the word "enjoyed", but her stories also make me really uncomfortable...in an enjoyable way. If that makes sense.
