因為這幾天 多麗絲‧萊辛Doris Lessing頻頻上新聞，Joyce趁機拿出她的著作來讀，這種結構複雜的文學著作實在無法用速讀解決，明天看完在來寫深入點的心得。 個人非常喜歡普拉斯Sylvia Plath，在我最憂鬱的時候，讀她的書彷彿找到一個懂你的人，她真的是個憂鬱到無法活下去的人，卻也讓我覺得不孤單，雖然我的情緒脫軌，但換個角度想 又何嘗不是別人走的太急太快。 而多麗絲‧萊辛Doris Lessing則非常詭異，文字結構瀕臨精神分裂，在閱讀時 假如讀者純粹以線性時空來閱讀，將會陷入迷惑，然而以大多數人的觀感而言，會認為混亂的是作者，但我心情混亂時，卻能看的懂她的作品，並覺得條理分明。 ...
My web presence has been shamefully absent from this vox this year so far, so this is a part of one of my upteenth resolutions to post more regularly. Last month was a really poor reading effort - nothing was finished. This month things are looking up: so far I've finished: Mansfield Park was my...
UNIKFREK© aka SHEiMA is suffering an identity crisis of sorts ... ??? what on earth is a girl to do when she questions what she is doing with her life? does graphic design help the world in any way? am i part of an evil system that compounds and festers all that lies in its path? is this my...
Вчера дочитала "Фабрику грез Unlimited" и пребываю в глубоком потрясении, примерно как после "Хрустального мира". Все остальные книги померкли и не вызывают вообще...
As I posted, this weekend Paul finally bought his Wii. He's been having fun playing Super Smash Bros Brawl and I've been playing a bit of Super Mario Paper. However, this weekend was busy because of Mother's Day (we saw his parents on Saturday & mine on Sunday) and so we didn't get to play or relax...
Autobiographia Literaria When I was a child I played by myself in a corner of the schoolyard all alone. I hated dolls and I hated games, animals were not friendly and birds flew away. If anyone was looking for me I hid behind a tree and cried out "I am an orphan." And here I am, the center of all...
What fictional character do you relate to most and why? Francie Nolan. I don't know why I still feel that way as my life is certainly decidedly different that what this girl in turn of the 20th century America experienced. I guess it is because I read this book when I was in junior high, and...
By Abby Margolis Newman Are there any parents of children under 10 who haven't heard of the "Mozart Effect"? It refers to a 1993 study that showed listening to Mozart increases intelligence in babies and young children. This revelation touched off a wave of classical music purchases and spin-off...
Reading electronic books on a handheld device like cell phone or PDA is an experience that I'm enjoying more and more lately. It certainly is a bit different from traditional book reading. What I like about e-book reading is the size of the personal library you can carry around in the pocket. Then,...
This one comes from LibraryThing. Members are taking the current top 106 unread books and marking it up according to their own reading. Here's mine: * = I own the book Bold = I’ve read the book # = I read the book for high school or university Italics = I’ve started the book Stricken = I hated...
So much for using The Host to bridge the interminable gap between now and the time Breaking Dawn, the fourth -- and final, sob! -- in the Twilight saga, is released in August. As is so often the case, I couldn't pace myself. I can't say that I liked The Host better than any of the Twilight books,...
I have an issue with some people at RPI. There's one person I know whose Facebook profile states, under "Books" (as in, "What books do you like?"): haha wut the fuck is a book From the spelling, grammar, and tone of that snippet, we can obviously tell that this person does not read very much....
I went to bed last night having read a mere 48 pages of The Host. I woke up this morning at 9 a.m. and started reading again. (I'm sick with horrid allergies, a fever, and a lovely hacking cough.) It is now 3:41 p.m. and I'm at page 437. Just 182 pages left. I cannot for the life of me put this book...
In the last two days, Aidan has started reciting books aloud to us! This is a first! Alanna and Emory love to do this, but Aidan never showed any interest. He knows the stories and can finish sentences for us, but he's never wanted to take a book and recite it aloud. It was SO wonderful to see him...
I knew it would begin with the end, and the end would look like death to these eyes. I had been warned. Not these eyes. My eyes. Mine. This was me now. Stephenie Meyer's new book, The Host, dropped Tuesday. I put myself on the waiting list at the library a few weeks ago, and I was perfectly okay...
Last week, I had my first storytime ever. I'm a Reference Librarian, but we all do some storytimes when they are part of a class tour. I was so nervous before because I don't have much experience with groups of children, but I got rave reviews from both the teacher of the class that came in for the...
READ: 10 Witty Words to Insult People With Practical and educational!
I don't think I've mentioned much on here about this, but I'm a fan of the Twilight series of books. The author of the Twilight series, Stephanie Meyers, has just released her first book written and geared towards adults while the Twilight series was geared more towards young-adults even though it...
Ah! Something I can write about that doesn't require too much thought, but is about a favourite thing: lists of books. (Actually reading said books is a close second ;) Below is a list of the 106 books most likely to languish, unread, on the bookshelves of people who only want to seem cultured and...
