I don't read a lot of short stories, as my first love (in reading) is to immerse myself in a fictional world with characters I care about for a l-o-n-g time. That said, I'm glad I made this collection an exception to my "rule." Although the title implies the book contains all ghosties all the time, in fact the stories fun the gamut from ghostly to weird to poignant to sweet, not in any particular order. My favorite story? Either "Pop Art" (not a ghost in sight) or "Voluntary Committal" (weird, no ghosts) or the title story "20th Century Ghost" (yep, this one has a ghost). I truly enjoyed this collection and recommend it highly.

I love short stories in general, but this collection was so impressive to me. I was amazed by Lahiri's ability to understand and describe such complex, mature emotions and relationships. Her writing is fairly lyrical. I've read this book two or three times and find something I hadn't noticed each time. Another of the top ten.

This is the novel that I wanted Graceling to be. An alternate world/reality full of adventure with a hardcore warrior heroine, and here's the key bit, who doesn't feel the need to unsex herself (à la Lady Macbeth) and prove that she's not feminine. In fact, all the female characters are wonderfully strong and unforgiving, no damsels finally, and there's just a general sense of equality - pretty much everyone is a warrior without a masculinity v. femininity contest. Where Graceling seemed in some ways downright offensive to a 'certain type' of women, Blood Red Road has a heroine who is unapologetic of her gender and doesn't attempt to constantly prove herself by becoming stereotypically masculine. Saba is a great heroine. She makes no pretense of being some kind of saviour or martyr, she simply has two missions: find her brother, and stay alive. She uses violence throughout, but only to accomplish her missions rather than some kind of demonstration of her worth. I also liked the love interest of the novel, even with all the unnecessary dithering about they both did with regards to one another, it seems romance is never straight forward. The dystopian element of the novel had just the right amount of action and horror, without that "I'm just cruisin along through this awful, oppressive society" like in Matched, where it's damn near impossible to care about the characters because even they don't seem too bothered about the whole situation. It was a refreshingly quick take-off too. I prepared myself for a slow start when I encountered dust clouds in the first few pages (uh, do I care?) but the novel got to the action almost instantly with a murder and kidnapping - that's right, no Diana Gabaldon style digression from the main story, I've missed this kind of novel that get's into the thick of the plot right away. Oh, and another thing... journies. I love journies in novels, when they're kept at a good fast pace you feel like there's constantly something happening. Though the books are actually very different from Blood Red Road, one of the main reasons I loved The Knife of Never Letting Go and Beyond the Deepwoods is because they had awesome fast-paced journies throughout. So, yeah, kudos for that. I know some people who've read ARCs of this didn't like the language style, but I did. I've always liked different accents, dialect and colloquialism. It was different, but a good kind of different. Though, on that subject, I'd just like to finish with my own opinion of a bad kind of different: What on earth is this bloody awful UK cover? The US version is a million and one times better:

I liked Buchwald's story - choosing at 80 plus years to go into hospice rather than continuing on dialysis - but I found this book to be tiresome reading and found the chapter on his early sexual experiences to be too much to take.

I felt like she didn't know what she was talking about. Very disappointing.

It is an oldie, but classic goodie. Some decorating ideas are dated, but many of Dorothy Draper's tips and suggestions are timeless. Wish I had know about this book much earlier.

A mysterious stranger in a bar, a crotchety old man named Ned and Billy Wiles, the local bartender, set the scene for Velocity. Eavesdropping on their conversation, we learn that Billy is a “live and let live” kind of guy - letting other people worry about their own lives and trying to remain completely uninvolved. This a perfect personality for a bartender, but when the stakes go up to include human lives with Billy holding sway over the outcome, his philosophy on living is thrown out the window.

This book is great to learn about different colors and it even includes a color wheel. I did have a hard identifying the "magic" in the pictures though, like seeing the shapes move. Still, great one to incorporate in an art class.

Gordon'la bu kitabı okudum. Filmden tamamen farklı ama sorun değil. Birlikte okumaktan keyif aldık.

Dikkat Yazarlar: Kurgu olmayan bu şekilde yazarsınız! Bu kitap, son 2 haftadır benimle konuşmanın ana konusu oldu! Mümkünse bu 7 yıldız kazanırdı. Düşünme şeklimizi değiştirdi - ve ne yazık ki, bunu söyleyebileceğim ilk kurgusal olmayan kitap. Adaleti yapamam. Oku onu.
