*** updated after re-reading *** Of course you've heard it all already - the majesty of the whale (and its whiteness!), the scope of this monstrous book and its formal experimentation, its fathoms-deep themes. I'm certainly not going to recap its plot to you, what little plot there is - whale bites man, man bites whale? But what struck me most on reading Moby Dick again was how the narrative makes its movement, not out of a traditional arc, but out of the confidence of its language; Melville trusts the flexibility of his tone enough that he can take long detours away from the Pequod and into the realms of history and whale anatomy, detours which he makes so fascinating that they only increase our fascination with the story. The key here is the sense of humor: whales are classified as if they are books; a man wears the skin of a whale penis like a jacket; the king of a South Sea island shows our narrator a temple made out of a massive sperm whale skeleton. There's a stubborn tendency in American culture to ossify the classics, but it would be a shame for anyone to approach Moby Dick as if it were a collection of serious themes, seeing as they might miss the way irony sings between the cracks of practically every sentence - page long parodies of academic texts, speeches mocking Emersonian transcendentalism. And when the great themes do emerge, their tragedy is sharpened because they tip the tone on which we've come to rely into a darker position. It's only an inch or so from satire to total nihilism, after all. Maybe more than anything else, Moby Dick is an argument for risk, evidence that you can stretch the fabric of language long past the accepted length without breaking the narrative line. A good reminder that narrative is composed of language, and not the other way around, and excellent evidence the next time some asshole tries to tell you the importance of structure/coherence/a page limit in your aspirations to novel-dom.

An oldie but a goodie. Never read it before but found it on a bookshelf in my room here in Corinth. Big Brother is probably watching me type this right now.....

Ya know, I've never considered myself much of a mystery fangirl. Sure, I like my paranormal and when I say like I actually mean love and recently I've started to enjoy a lot more contemporary then I use to. But not a lot of mystery/thrillers have landed on my favorite shelf, besides The Body Finder series, Clarity would have to be the other exception and I'm pleased to say Perception is as well. And I totally blame it on Harrington. I love the way this women writes! It's addicting and perfectly paced. It doesn't just focus on the whole 'whodunit' mystery. It guides us through Clarity's life, what her family is going through, what life is like at school, new friends and lets not forget her tangled romantic happenings which were the highlight of the story for me. Wrap it all up with glimpses of her gift and hidden clues and you got yourself the makings of a great and fun story! To say that I loved this book just as much as the first would be an understatement. I'm amazed how attached I felt towards these characters, that doesn't usual happen till the third or forth book, but I genuinely care about Clarity, Perry, their mom, Justin and Gabriel. Clarity is an awesome protag! She's so leveled headed which is rare for a teenager. She doesn't just jump into a decision but instead waits till her heart is actually ready. She's also quite clever and not afraid to stand up for herself. She's the kind of character I'd love to be friends with. Perry won me in the first book, so it was hard to see him going through this ordeal. I wasn't use to seeing him look so defeated but I'm glad that we got the old Perry back in the end. Mallory is a new character and I liked what she brought into the story. I'll admit Harrington did a great job with having the reader guess whether she was friend or stalker. Nice touch. Now for the boys? Just when I was all prepared to wave the Team Justin flag again, Gabriel had to go all charming, sexy and supportive (dame him). I've always had a soft spot for Justin and believe that he deserved a second chance (and even more so now after reading this book). But it turns out that I liked both guys equally and I'm happy with the choice Clare made. Nope, I'm not gonna spoil it (Muhaha) All in all, I absolutely loved this one! It's not predictable, in fact I was pretty shocked who the 'killer' was. It's filled with creepy-suspense but has a great mix of romance and friendship. This was my idea of a perfect escape and I'm only hoping we're getting more! I never want these books to end!!!

An extremely thorough examinations of past and present civilizations and the reasons, frequently ecological, for their collapse or survival, that raises the red flag for our current society. Even more relevant today than it was when Diamond wrote it in 2005 -- and after reading it, you won't look at revolution in the Middle East, post-earthquake Haiti, or the billions of people of China rapidly moving from the Third World to the First, the same as you did before reading it. Diamond can be overly-academically thorough at times, resulting in dense prose that took me a few weeks to finally assimilate, but definitely recommended.

esempio di fumetto che troppo riuscito non è per eccesso di sovrabbondanza del testo e semi-accessorietà delle immagini. con questo mezzo la storia, che per altro sarebbe ben costruita, risulta difficile da seguire, complicata, a tratti noiosa. un noir classico, tra Lione e Parigi durante l’occupazione tedesca della Francia.

Other than provoking a row between myself and my BornAgainChristian sister because it "is the work of the Devil" when she found my son reading it, this book has no merit whatsoever. It is trite, badly written and (I agree with her on this) inaccurate. It is also guilty of spawning a glut of Grail pieces which are even worse. How this pile of excrement ever became a best seller is impossible to uncerstand, merely reflecting the gullibility of the population at large. Since when did the possession of a book become a symbol of social acceptibility? I dispaired of humanity at large.

Couldn't finish it. Not as good as her other books. Just didn't get into this one.

If you are going to Venice, I highly recommend this book. Author John Berendt goes to Venice around the time the famous Fenice Theater burns. He stays on to cover the story and meets an interesting cast of characters along the way; similar to the way his previous Midnight in the Garden on Good and Evil unfolds. He has such a clean writing style. His books read like fiction. Well done.
