Bu kitaptan benden daha fazla keyif almalıydım. Belki de zamanım, hayatımın olayları, vs. idi. Bunu bitirmedim çünkü ilgimi çekmiyordu. Kitaplardan zevk almıyorsam kitaplardan vazgeçerim ve daha sonra geri dönme eğilimindeyim. Genellikle ara sıra değdiğini görüyorum.
Another solid guide to fiction writing, the novel in particular. Block does not stray far from the approach that he has used to write more than 100 novels, but that's fine for beginners looking for a method that might suit them.
Didn't realize that this wasn't just the latest book in the series, but the clearly the last. I thought that Charlaine Harris had just not written for these characters in a while. The four book in this series and one of the better ones. Lots of twists and turns and issues that had been presented in the previous book. All in all not bad.
it is always in my mind
Oh my Goodness. This is my all-time favorite right now. Her explanations of smelly markers, her addiction to candy, even as a grown adult, and the winter coat debacle are amazing stories that describe my way of thinking perfectly. Happiness comes from the smallest things :)
I am a big fan of Saramago even though I've only read 3 of his novels. This particular story has a great plot....a chain of events that keep the narrative going but does not move very quickly. This give you time to digest Saramago's brilliant view of man and of life. But sometimes I felt like skipping to the next paragraph. (Unfortunately Saramago does not use the usually excepted structure of the written word! So the next paragraph could be pages away.) My little brain could not comprehend all the underlying meaning that I'm sure Saramago intended. This should not be the first book that anyone reads by Saramago. Never the less there is much that will stay with me. And I found this particular idea profound. "There are people like Senhor José everywhere, who fill their time, or what they believe to be their spare time, by collecting stamps, coins, medals, vases, postcards, matchboxes, books, clocks, sport shirts, autographs, stones, clay figurines, empty beverage cans, little angels, cacti, opera programmes, lighters, pens, owls, music boxes, bottles, bonsai trees, paintings, mugs, pipes, glass obelisks, ceramic ducks, old toys, carnival masks, and they probably do so out of something that we might call metaphysical angst, perhaps because they cannot bear the idea of chaos being the one ruler of the universe, which is why, using their limited powers and with no divine help, they attempt to impose some order on the world, and for a short while they manage it, but only as long as they are there to defend their collection, because when the day comes when it must be dispersed, and that day always comes, either with their death or when the collector grows weary, everything goes back to its beginnings, everything returns to chaos." — José Saramago (All the Names)
