Totally captivated by the movie (which I saw when it first came out, and which I have seen perhaps half a dozen times or more), I first read the book (hardcover, via the Science Fiction Book Club, about 1970) and the original short story (The Sentinel) with great expectations, but was, overall, let down in many respects. Simply, for me the book failed to resonate the way the movie did. And, it was only years later, after reading Nietzsche in 1983, that the relationship of the movie to Nietzsche further diminished the book for me. There are strong comparisons to be made between the movie and the author of Also Sprach Zarathustra -- from the use of the opening strains of Richard Strauss' music of the same name, to the imagery of the star gate at Saturn (Jupiter in the movie, Gravity in Nietzsche) through which the hero must pass on his way to the summit of overcoming as he remakes himself into a new man (star child). The book indicates (to me, and perhaps only me) that it's mostly Kubrick who drove the process. I am still not certain how Clarke felt about the whole thing. But I strongly doubt he really enjoyed any of it, despite the success it brought.

Definitely 4 and 1/2 stars. I loved the story and the characters and the author didn't simplify or smooth over any of the hardships or trials of the time. Well done.

A slice of life. A truth telling, of life growing up near metro Toronto on a little slice of paradise called The Toronto Islands, specifically Wards Island next to Algonquin Island, just a ferry ride away from the metro shore of Lake Ontario. There are three main islands - Centre Island, Ward's Island and Muggs Island - just off Queens Quay Terminal that are easily accessible from the foot of Yonge Street in 10-minutes by ferry boat. In truth telling one is drawn into the simplicity of that which is, which you cannot make up, even if it seems stranger than neat formulaic fiction. Thorvault draws you in with a meticulous telling of a boy in a dream. This is a real take on a real slice of a real boy coming of age in the age of the Canadians, aka Milton Acorn and Gwendolyn MacEwan and a boy awakening to the culture of his time. The bittersweet tale unfolds in a coming-of-age story of the author set in Ontario in the early 1960s with a drawn-from-life snapshot of two authentic giants of Canadian poetry, Milton Acorn and Gwendolyn MacEwen, at a ferry crossroads in their lives. We meet the people the author grew up with and find a way of life, apart from the city, in a quiet paradise. Just people getting along, unsuspecting of the shadows of greatness beneath which they play. Island life is easy going, hockey season, pole vault, writing assignments, first love, and a ferry ride to poetry. Makes you wanna “holler”, throw up both your hands. And on the ferry ride home you are wishing for more, as thoughts open onto a world of future possibility. Maybe “Oaks” will soon produce a few more acorns of the humble truth...? Dark Pines Under Water Gwendolyn MacEwen 1941 - 1987 This land like a mirror turns you inward And you become a forest in a furtive lake; The dark pines of your mind reach downward, You dream in the green of your time, Your memory is a row of sinking pines. Explorer, you tell yourself this is not what you came for Although it is good here, and green; You had meant to move with a kind of largeness, You had planned a heavy grace, an anguished dream. But the dark pines of your mind dip deeper And you are sinking, sinking, sleeper In an elementary world; There is something down there and you want it told. The Island Milton Acorn Since I'm Island-born home's as precise as if a mumbly old carpenter, shoulder-straps crossed wrong, laid it out, refigured to the last three-eighths of shingle. Nowhere that plowcut worms heal themselves in red loam; spruces squat, skirts in sand or the stones of a river rattle its dark tunnel under the elms, is there a spot not measured by hands; no direction I couldn't walk to the wave-lined edge of home. Quiet shores -- beaches that roar but walk two thousand paces and the sea becomes an odd shining glimpse among the jeweled zigzag low hills. Any wonder your eyelashes are wings to fly your look both in and out? In the coves of the land all things are discussed. In the ranged jaws of the Gulf, a red tongue. Indians say a musical God took up his brush and painted it, named it in His own language "The Island". This is so Canadian in the geographic wilderness of a great nature bound country.

Gorgeous. This book is half poetry half prose, and not linear. It is not like In The Skin of A Lion or The English Patient or any of his later works. Instead it is like his poetry and The Collected Works of Billy the Kid. If you haven't read Ondaatje, do so, starting wherever you please. His ability to blend recollections and viewpoints as well as styles make this a treasure, and incredibly vivid.

I like the main character, and how she's mute but can read. She was the perfect person to tell this tale. Joan, of course, couldn't.

I thought these stories were hilarious. I'm not the kind of person that laughs out loud with books a lot but this one had me laughing quite a bit. Loved it!

I think I heard about this book from one of the participants of a podcast I listen to (smartmouths). This books is full of information sometimes a bit too much and overwhelming. I did find it very interesting and made me feel a bit guilty about not being up on all the current events and happening in just our country alone. Granted this book is mostly a historical perspective it really opens an eye to what really goes on and how media and others are so very talented on putting a spin on or just covering up what they don't want you to know for their own personal gain. So many in this country of golden opportunity are loosing their conscience and humanity. It's a sad state of affairs.

It was a hard work. The more I read on neuroscience the more complex everything about the brain gets. The part of phantom limbs and mirror neurons are familiar but the foray into the sense of self, language, syntax and science of art, all of it based on the structure and function of the brain are very complex subjects to comprehend. There are too many different points of reference to have one picture - phycology, biology, philosophy; very often they contradict one another. The main conclusion for me is that there are too many things that can go wrong in our brains and we are practically powerless to fix them.

I have struggled with this book for a few years now. I had never been able to get all the way through it. I suppose I find the main characters a little more bland than those of Pride and Prejudice.
