Ermişlerin Sohbet Halkası TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Yükünç Yayınları

I loved this book when it was first published, but I revisited it recently and was disappointed to find a lot of pointlessly nasty comments and an overall snide, sneering tone that seems really out of place, since Irwin Chusid was apparently fascinated enough by these artists that he decided to write an exhaustively researched book on them.

İkimizin Melodisi TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Kanes Yayınları

Utterly fascinating. You wouldn't think a story that's mostly about turn-of-the-century engineers would be an exciting page-turner, but it is. Reading about those engineers overcoming a ridiculous number of obstacles to stage a World's Fair is totally engrossing. The parallel story about the serial killer living nearby is also quite interesting, but it's hamstringed a bit by Larsen's habit of trying to make it more interesting by making it more melodramatic. Still, a very good read.

A good focus on rearing children with the gospel, not just leagalism / moralism which comes so natural to many (myself included)

one of the most powerful books i have ever read. my review (posted on my blog immediately after reading it): War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, writes Chris Hedges, and upon completion of what The New York Times called his "powerful chronicle of modern war... a potent and eloquent warning," I do not feel guilty or ashamed of being human-- no, instead I am paralyzed with fear. Hedges takes no sides in his painfully poignant work, except perhaps the side of humanity, which as Freud writes and he notes, exists defined by the inescapable dynamic between Eros and Death and is compelled by its very nature to seek out self-destruction. Fascinating and profoundly disturbing, this book explores the dizzyingly narcotic elements of war and the atrocities-- in horrifyingly accounts from personal experience-- of which man is not only capable, but to which he is driven. "And yet, despite all this, I am not a pacifist," Hedges allows; "I wrote this book not to dissuade us from war but to understand it... this book is not a call for inaction. It is a call for repentance." Reminiscent of Desmond Tutu’s No Future Without Forgiveness, Hedges postulates that “the only antidote to ward off self-destruction is humility and ultimately compassion.” Borrowing from Homer, Shakespeare, Bosnian Nobel laureates, and Holocaust survivor Ka’Tzetnik, his reports draw from his years as a foreign correspondent to conclude that: "Happiness is elusive and protean. And it is sterile when devoid of meaning. But meaning, when it is set in the vast arena of war with its high stakes, its adrenaline-driven rushes, its bold sweeps and drama, is heartless and self-destructive. The initial selflessness of war mirrors that of love, the chief emotion war destroys. And this is what war often looks and feels like, at its inception: love... We are tempted to reduce life to a simple search for happiness. Happiness, however, withers if there is no meaning. The other temptation is to disavow the search for happiness in order to be faithful to that which provides meaning. But to live only for meaning-- indifferent to all happiness-- makes us fanatic, self-righteous, and cold. It leaves us cut off from our own humanity and the humanity of others. We must hope for grace, for our lives to be sustained by moments of meaning and happiness, both equally worthy of human communion." I find myself almost wishing as I lounge on my plush carpet under a window filled with sunlit trees and blues on of the most beautiful days of the year thus far, that I hadn’t read this book, or that I could write it off as from another world, another species. But "Aristotle said that only two living entities are capable of complete solitude and complete separateness: God and beast. Because of this... the isolated individual can never be adequately human... if we do not acknowledge such an attraction [to war], which is, in some ways, akin to love, we can never combat it."

I really enjoyed this book. It has a good mystery and some good tid-bits about New York City and Upstate history. I wish I could give it three and a half stars. I liked it a lot, but the book took a bit too much time building up to the mystery.

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Eksen Yayıncılık

Not a huge fan of graphic novels (had to read this for work) but this one was fairly engaging. The illustrations are pretty easy to follow, colorful and detailed. It's the "what if" story of Rapunzel escaping the tower (which in this version is a hollow in a very tall tree) and setting out to right the wrongs her evil stepmother has wrought on the surrounding countryside using her copious braids as whips and rope, and attempting to locate her birth mother. She teams up with Jack (of Jack in the Beanstalk fame) who is on the lam from the giant, and has his own talent for scams.
