Beautiful photos and simple text about everyday life in Cuba make this book a treat to read. What a shame that this book is banned from Miami schools: http://tinyurl.com/c78toy
Daring, romance, danger, British accents. How much better can it get???
everyone loves this book, no idea why. Pamuk would spend 30 or 40 pages describing every piece of art. I muat have missed something.
Book #32 of 2009 This one was a bit strange... A Viking warrior time-travels to modern America. I wanted to slap him half the time, ordering people (women) around. The writing was a little strange for me too, there were all sorts of mini-sections within the chapters with titles like "Hey, Cuz! Long time no see!..." and "Daddy knows best..." which in my opinion distracted from the flow of the story. In all, it was an OK book. Not the best, not the worst I like the idea of the monthly challenge over at Romance Readers Reading Challenges so this can count as fulfilling item #7 on the April list, Read a book that has some kind of WAR as a backdrop. This had the "War on Terror" as a backdrop. Borrowed from the library
This paints a very backwards image of what sex really is. It starts with their understanding of Genesis and the two creation accounts described. They choose several verses and use them to make 7 points about the differences between men and women, only one of which demonstrates any kind of thoughtful understanding of what Genesis is really about. They actually say that man was created with a need (sex) and woman was created to fill that need. Ahh! Over and over the authors describe how sex is to be the woman's ministry to her husband, that the Christian life is about not sinning (as opposed to actively pursuing things that are of Christ), and basically how women are sexually cold and men are cave manish in their pursuit of sex. I found it very shallow, not to mention frustrating, and would only recommend very small, particular portions of this book to anyone.
