Text of the page (random words):
e even overused theme for a book but thomas daringly twisted it into a searching mental quest questioning the biggest myth of all the american dream i will not pretend that i was able to comprehend this book wholly a work of this scope needs several re reading to hit you as hard as it was meant to be hell my edition of it even has a set of reading guides at the end of it one thing i do know is thomas is a strong user of words at some of this book s best his diction makes my arm trembles go figure this book can be read online here posted in uncategorized leave a comment maya deliberations of life and love july 6 2008 i had high hopes with this one after all gaarder was the man who penned one of the modern classics that is sophie s world and he didn t disappoint me maya is definitely a worthy successor to the likes of sophie s world and vita brevis staying true to his calling he takes us in a tour de force of hard philosophical questions that were difficult to imagine let alone deliberate by anyone alone this i think is where his greatest influence is supposed to be in his provocations where one is forced to take a long hard look at oneself and ponder why is he living at all such incitements are necessary because by default man always strive to fulfil but not question his needs focusing more to the question of evolution and biology maya nevertheless feel a little bit constrained by the love story plot this did not become obvious however until the last 40 pages or so a savoring reader thus will not have any problems in immersing into gaarder s typical mental discourses happening all over this book what more interesting is his try to take on mystery thriller genre however slight granted in the end the mystery was only used as a device to build the momentum towards climax but it s still intriguing for me that he adopt such an adventurous plan not that it didn t work on the contrary the execution was of such excellence that i was fooled into thinking that this is truly an enigmatic book in the same league as eco now that i had time to think about the issue maybe it shouldn t be surprising at all i mean a man who can construct a very exciting verbal scene full of anguish between his human character and a gecko will surely be able to keep us in his grip in one or two alternate methods the epilogue then explains all only then it became apparent that this is a first and foremost a love story a very beautiful and profound love story for that matter yet i can not help but think that this is also this book s weak point had gaarder been more flexible maybe letting go to the momentum and taking on the metaphysical thriller theme to the end will pay more it almost feels like a hangover for me riding so high in the buildup but then take a sharp although admittedly sweet drop in the end it then dictates a necessary evaluation of the question should a literary work s end justify the means finally this book again exhibits gaarder s ability as a storyteller bearing that small complain in mind i d still gladly recommend this one if you don t read this book with a critic s spectacle then it s truly enjoyable to let yourself go even swept by some of the finest dialogues i ve ever read in modern fiction posted in uncategorized leave a comment half broken things sweet humiliation june 28 2008 if you re anything like me you must have some judgement however slight of a book you re going to read otherwise we wouldn t be interested to read any books at all half broken things i m ashamed to say is one of the books that i underestimated two days later after i finished reading it i was completely humiliated not that i mind though you know i ve always been fascinated by writers who can take some dull bland and tasteless events and painted them with his words to form a vivid picture of an exciting events harper lee s to kill a mockingbird and salinger s catcher in the rye instantly come to mind in a way i think that s what separates great works from the rest the ability to transcend an ordinary world into a gloriously sweet or sad surroundings this is where this book main strength lies daily concerns like money and food turned into a monster that haunts you constantly here telling the story of three reluctant loners in life it successfully chilled me to the bone that hunger and loneliness are very real and when they are they will drive some people to the dizzy heights of a psychological cliff edge not knowing where to or even whether if he should return for steph michael and jean they are simply some dire needs to die for i really could not talk about this book a lot without risking to give you some spoiler its simplicity doesn t allow that don t let it deceive you though i ll just make one comment at this point as far as i remember this is the only book where i encountered crimes that feel so natural effortless and pristine at some points i even could not continue without lighting a cigarette to calm my nerves anyway if there s a time i wouldn t mind being humiliated it s the time after i read this book heart wrenching thought provoking subtle poignant and even lyrical this book is sublime very much recommended 3 5 out of 5 posted in uncategorized leave a comment confessions of an english opium eater ramblings of an unquiet mind may 23 2008 i am forced to answer a question whose answer i ve always taken for granted all this time do you have to be able to fully understand a book to appreciate it as a work of art i reckoned that the answer must be yes boy was i wrong confessions is a difficult work de quincey apparently did not try very hard to make himself as readable as possible instead he resorted to a strange method where he seemingly just recorded whatever happened in his head the proverbial flight of ideas so to speak i did not relish this at all when i first tried to read this his ramblings are so difficult to follow and sometimes even incoherent but then it dawned on me that this is exactly where the genius of confessions is located it succeeded excellently in giving me a picture of how exactly a mind of an addict work frantically it forces me to challenge the way i comprehend good literatures so far it disturbed me if there is one thing i complain about confessions it would be its unattachment from reality while the journaling style of writing fits neatly his intention to document his thoughts as an addict i seriously doubt whether this book will appeal greatly to the greater part of readers always philosophical in nature his ramblings are sophisticated to say the least at worst imagine studying philosophy when you re stoned on marijuana or something anyone who ever went to school surely can imagine what a humongous task it would make a good work indeed but not recommended for those who gets tired easily on long discourses about philosophy oh and while you re at it i also lament the fact that de quincey spent so many pages in descrying coleridge and praising wordsworth it s too much methinks but then again maybe it was his intention link download from project gutenberg posted in reviews leave a comment steppenwolf fantastic work of psyché may 2 2008 steppenwolf by herman hesse by far this would be one of the best works i ve read this year where have i been indeed i went as far as stating in twitter that my life reads like a bastard child of dumas count of monte cristo and hesse s steppenwolf in the word of a good online friend of mine this one definitely is a mindfuck the book deals with the most profound issue of mankind the self it painstakingly describes the state where the self is torn by conflicting desire between its higher order and lower desires of the proverbial steppenwolf wolf of the steppes or a coyote definitely freudian in its basic idea hesse elaborated this further by bringing forth the idea that a soul comprises of several other selves than just the ordinarily known ego superego and id thus a self is a kaleidoscope of different beings which in the case of harry haller the main character completely torn him asunder and trying in futility to get a grip it also employed a surreal fantastic story telling method especially in later parts when harry underwent a painful experience in theatre of dreams we never know for certain whether harry actually kill hermine for instance hence the term surreal for its merging of fantasy and reality the good news is it works which is more than can be said of a writer who attempted this method at all only great ones succeed reminiscent of john fowles the magus i tell you one thing if you plan only to read one book this year this is the book that i will recommend more info of steppenwolf in wikipedia link for those who don t know it yet steppenwolf and other great works of all time can be downloaded from a free fantastic library here blogged with the flock browser posted in uncategorized leave a comment the big book of hoaxes i m asking for more april 24 2008 what can i say this book speaks for itself a tour de force of human tendency to believe strange things in fact it s eerie how hitler words ring true about this it s easy to lie just make it big factoid did a very good job by bringing this series you could read some serious references without diving into that scholarly encyclopedia in other words this is information made enjoyable with honest humorous and sometimes cheeky illustration it s also easier to grasp some concepts which otherwise would need a lot of pages to explain the book itself contains any famous and not so famous hoaxes in history from poe s balloon hoax the notorious howard hughes autobiography i actually learnt that boxer rebellion in china was made several times worse by a hoax a very good work indeed i found myself asking for more you can download the book here again i m only sharing the link have fun posted in comics graphic novels reviews leave a comment me talk pretty one day dangerously funny april 22 2008 some preliminary facts and datas from wikipedia are due first author david sedaris cover artist jacket design by chip kidd country united states language english genre s essay collection publisher little brown and company publication date may 2 2000 media type print hardcover and paperback pages 288 pp first edition hardcover isbn isbn 0 316 77772 2 first edition hardcover this book is guaranteed to make you giggle like crazy at some of its best point you would even shake with laughter david sedaris wrote with some shameless sense of humor here he freely talked about his speed addiction sexuality and characteristically even some childish hilarity like turd you heard me right turd based on this tone this book is not for everyone s fancy though some will enjoy it very much for its brainlessness allowing you to laugh at someone else s folly without realizing that you are indulging in your own s stark naked forbidden guilty self while for the others this book will risk being categorized as simply disgusting as for myself i enjoyed a lot reading this with one note i found that sedaris humorous take on drugs methamphetamine aka speed aka shabu is deeply disturbing it definitely can lead to some serious misled choices all in all if you can read it with some open mind a good read this one really is posted in reviews leave a comment my name is red lost in translation april 17 2008 a little bit disappointing for a nobel prize winner really oh yes it was well researched but doesn t have a good pace necessary for a thriller but too shallow for a drama then again probably it s the literature s world version of the now popular movie genre crime drama i still itch for more fascination from a crime story though my best guess would be there s something lost in translation as i read it in english this ebook can be downloaded here this is a link i do not share any copyrighted material posted in reviews leave a comment from hell an unnecessarily complex work april 10 2008 like i promised before this is my first review i post here first of all some data author alan moore illustrator eddie campbell cover artist eddie campbell country australia united states language english genre s graphic novel true crime publisher eddie campbell comics top shelf productions publication date 1999 collected edition media type print paperback pages 572 isbn isbn 0 958 57834 6 source wikipedia initially the book impressed me very much moore did a very good job by using a meticulous research as a foundation the explorations and insinuations are also courageous despite being a little bit far fetched in its speculations now the idea that jack the ripper murders were done to cover up the birth of an illegitimate child of england royal family is not a new one it was brought forth by stephen knight moore borrowed this idea as an open door into in depth exploration of more complex factor involved in that era this led into a study of medic psychology culture sociology and even occultism at some part which is very sound and good to do him some justice however what makes it work also cause it shortfall if you are looking for a good read to enjoy from hell simply could not do it it does not entertain you like any good old whodunnits but provokes you and makes you question some things you hold true i don t know about you but one of the reason i read fiction is to entertain clever works are enlightening but too heavy to enjoy if there is too much of it it almost feels like reading a textbook leave a comment
