Kuran Aydınlığı: Kronolojik Kuran Meali - Tuncer Namlı TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Fecr Yayınları

This collection was much shorter than I expected but includes articles spanning RWL's career and overall gives the reader a good glimpse of her personality. Looking forward to the biography that the editor is promising!

Kudüs’ün Gizemli Tarihi - Ömer Faruk Harman TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Destek Yayınları

My review is probably more helpful than the star rating. I immediately wanted to read The Golden Road, sensing it would bare similarities to my experiences as a person of color in predominantly white schools. I am slightly disappointed by the memoir. Having lived a similar experience, I felt certain aspects of the narrative were not fully examined. We learn most of the "truths" in the memoir because Millner tells them to us, not because we're shown. And because most of the reviews seem to be wriiten by people of color who didn't attend independent schools in the '90s or are white, they don't understand the nuances in the same way. One reviewer described Millner as a "participant observer," but that's also a way to suggest Millner hasn't been an active heroine in her own life. Millner's story is a bildungsroman; that is what makes it interesting. What Millner captures, most realistically is the social isolation, confusion, neuroticism, and inauthenticity of middle-class life in the '90s. Millner does position herself as the participant observer, as opposed to the full center of a self-created universe. Her own story of confusion is more interesting to me than her trying to understand the struggle of others, or even the larger dialogue about race in the U.S. Millner repeatedly refers to an eating disorder, but seems reluctant to fully deconstruct her own illness and the commentary it makes on control and alienation. Millner misses her opportunity to talk about an experience solidly her own that speaks to her isolation, the middle-class values she interrogates, and race and gender. Likewise, Millner dances around the role of depression in her teenage years. We as readers miss out on a great deal with these omissions. It's hard to write a memoir when there are still things one does not wish to lay bare. I found her discussion of growing up in a Latino neighborhood, highly engaging, as was her honest admission that she still harbors anger toward Latinos. Here's what I was expecting from the memoir: 1. A deeper discussion of body politics. 2. Millner understands her privilege in relation to others deprivation. That's not the same as self-reflection. 3. I don't know how she made it through high school or college without some comment about her hair. That is a rite of passage for girls of color in private school. 4. A fuller discussion of sexual politics. Millner speaks about how she has fallen in love yet again, but never establishes why she has the pattern of falling in love so easily. This could have been a great place to talk about seeking belonging through men and what it means when it's men you need to feel claimed. Millner mentions that she is irritated by the Black community at Harvard's exclusion of Black gay men but doesn't talk about what she did to engage those who are exlcuded. Millner also talks about a former friend Hans, who sexually assaults her friend, Millner's reaction is oddly distant. 5. There are a couple of histrionic moments at the end of the novel which seem out of place. 6. She doesn't use "...," she paraphrases what is said, and because she uses her own language, everyone sounds like her. Maybe this is the problem: I'm trying to put Millner in a box, have her speak directly to me. My defense? My own experience calls back to me, alerting me to somewhat hollow notes. I applaud Millner for telling her own unique story - it is a story tied to time and place. Sometimes that produces a universal narrative, I'm not sure that happened here. In the end, I'm glad I read it. I'm going to recommend it to friends and then I am going to consider writing my own memoir, 'cause I have had a lot of crazy ish go down, and if Millner can write a memoir, then I damn sure can too.

This book was good. It was sad but extremely well written. It's about a woman who lost her husband and how she copes with life without him.

Talbot Course: Spiritual Mentoring Group MUST READ! What it's about: Basically, Peterson takes an in-depth look at the Songs of the Ascents (Psalms 120-134). It's eye-opening and soul-stirring. Peterson is the MAN!

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Temel Yayınları

The human race is exctinct, and its virus-induced demise is "written" about by the distant, fur-seal-like evolutionary descendant of the human race, who's ghost is actually that of one of humanity's last survivors.

dryly humorous essays vaguely centered on the theme of pessimism. david rakoff is one of my favorites from 'this american life' so it's no surprise that i really enjoyed this- especially the audio version where i could hear him reading in his own dulcet tones. morbidly enough, i particularly enjoyed the last chapter, in which he wryly chronicles his battle with cancer. looking forward to more from this author soon!
