Book Stash

Uzun zamandır okuduğum kitaplar hakkındaki fikirlerimi yazmıyordum, aslında bir sürü kitap okudum ama üşengeçlikten hepsini bir yazıda toplamaya karar verdim :)  - (en yakın zamanda filmlere de sıra gelecek.)

Tatil İtirafları/Spa Decameron - Fay Weldon: Bir spa merkezinde tesadüfen biraraya gelen 10 kadının farklı hayat hikayeleri üzerine kurulu bir kitap. Boccacio'nun Decameron öykülerinin yeni bir versiyonu denilebilir. İlk başta çiklit türünde bir kitap olmasını beklerken gerçek hayat öyküleri çıktı ama çok değişik bir kitap, fazlasıyla şaşırtıcı hayat hikayeleriyle dolu.


Gökteki En Parlak Yıldız - Marian Keyes: Bir çiklit. Oldukça kalın bir kitap ama sonuna bayılacaksınız, konusu hakkında çok çok az bilgi veriliyor, kitabı bu kadar zevkli yapan detaylardan biri. Sabırlı biriyseniz okuyun :)


Carrie Günlükleri - Candace Bushnell: Carrie'nin "Carrie" olmadan önceki halini anlatan kitaplardan ilki. Harika, harika, harikaaaa! :D


Andy Warhol Felsefesi - Andy Warhol: Bayıla bayıla okuduğum bir kitap oldu. Hatta o kadar çok yerin altını çizdim ki kitabın çoğu sapsarı olduu :) Kitap Andy Warhol'un karısı dediği teybine aşk, seks, sanat, yemek, başarı, şöhret ve daha birçok konu hakkındaki fikirleri ve başından geçenlerden oluşuyor, kesinlikle herkese özellikle de pop-art düşkünlerine mutlaka tavsiye edeceğim bir kitap.


Bayan Sartoris - Elke Schmitter: Sıradan bir şekilde anlatılmayan başlayan sıradan bir kadın hakkında, sonu beklenmedik biçimde biten uzuuun bir öykü. "Modern Almanya'da yaşayan bir Madam Bovary." (demiş kitabın arka kapağı :D)


***

I didn't write my opinions about the books I've read because I'm a totally lazy person, so I just decided to sum them in a one post :)  - (films are coming after.)


The Spa Decameron - Fay Weldon: A book about 10 different women's life story who met with each other at a spa center. It's like a new version of Boccacio's Decameron stories. I was expecting kind of a chick-lit book about it's about real life stories and some of them are really shocking/surprising.



The Brightest Star in the Sky - Marian Keyes: A chick-lit. It's pretty thick but has a great end. At the beginning you have tiny information about its subject but it makes this book more enjoyable. Read if you are a patient person :)


Carrie Diaries - Candace Bushnell: The first book about Carrie's life before she became "Carrie". Just amazing!


The Philosophy of Andy Warhol - Andy Warhol: I read this book gladly. And there was so many sentences&paragraphs that I liked and highlighted, half of my book is yellow now :) The book contains Andy Warhol's ideas&thoughts and memoirs about some certain topic like love, sex, food, art, success, etc. I can easily advice this book to everyone and especially to pop-art lovers.


Mrs. Sartoris - Elke Schmitter: A long story about an ordinary woman with a simple beginning and un-expected end. "Madame Bovary in modern Germany." (says the back cover of the book :D)

The Chairman of Odukpani Local council, Stephen Asuquo, while confirming the incident, told journalists that the people of Ntan Obu were attacked by the Ikpanaya neighbouring community of Akwa Ibom State, last week.

I REGRET VOTING JONATHAN -- DON JAZZY

That my one vote added to put the current government in power is one decision i regret with all my heart. --  Those were the words of Michael Elebeli Collins, popularly known as Don Jazzy in a recent interview with talk of naija correspondent Osaremen Ehi James over the groups current stance on  Pres. Gooduck Jonathan fuel subsidy removal.   You would recollect that at the time of the April elections Pres.

CHARLES TAYLOR RECIEVES SENTENCE FOR WAR CRIMES & CRIMES AGAINTS HUMANITY

Charles Taylor, 64, the first former head of state to be convicted of war crimes since World War II was sentenced to 50 years in prison yesterday by an international court in The Hague, Netherlands. Taylor is due to serve his sentence at a high security prison in Britain. There is no death penalty in international criminal law. The six years he spent detained during the trial will count against his term. Meanwhile, he is appealing his conviction. Dressed in a blue suit and yellow tie, Taylor sat impassively through the roughly 45minute sentencing. Hands clasped in front of his mouth and brow furrowed, Taylor shifted uneasily when the camera broadcasting proceedings settled on him. He directed his gaze downward while Presiding Judge Richard Lussick read the sentencing statement, which began with a horror cabinet of carnage committed in Sierra Leone by rebels from the Revolutionary United Front, which the former president backed. "The accused has been found responsible...
