Color at the end of the tunnel

At the beginning of the month, so it's time to give me a list of the books I've read in the past, giving them some small marks. The main idea of this article is to give you some recommendations about books I read. So... 1. B. Akunin "Lucius Katin's Adventures and Reflections". Evaluation: 4 Limitations: No. Genre: history, essays. Traditionally, after the next issue of "History of the Russian State", namely "The Age of the Queens" Grigory Shavlovich published an art book on the era. And, unfortunately,...

1. Lagercrantz " The Girl in the Spider's Web" Another book in the sequel to the long-gone Millennium by the Stig Larson. Same heroes, Salander, Blomkvist, but, but, but, but... It seems to be written on the basis of the Stig's diaries but in fact the DNA... Extremely weak and extremely weak thing. Till disgust. It is impossible to compare the books of Lagerkrantz with the first three works of authorship of Stig Larsson himself. Heaven and earth. But the deceased's family seems to want a lot of money...

When you see "buffalo" on an elephant's cage, don't believe your eyes. Galina Yuzefovich's comments made her read it, and then she found out that Natalia Osoyanu praises her and Fanzongoryacho approves of it. So they all found something in Rebecca Kuong's debut novel that meets their ideas about decent literature, and you didn't find it. I'm not going to curse my own limitations, we're all very different, and it's good to let a hundred flowers blossom - I'll just tell you about the "Poppy War" that I saw...

"You can't be a Discursion Monger, but you're gonna make a content sommelier. And what is it, it will be clear very soon". A few years ago, I met a friend, talked about books, he proudly reported that he reads "S.N.U.F.F. I heard a rumor that Snuff had taken it as a friendly question: -Is this about the dog? -It's about Ukraine," an acquaintance said offended, "Pelevin! How he puts them there! I was ashamed of my ignorance and remembered that I saw the cover with a strange name. I got stronger in...

1. "Rita Hayworth and rescue from Shawshank." Author - Stephen King (1982) "Shawshank redemption" (1994). Directed by Frank Darabont Everybody knows the plot of the movie because they must have watched it. It is a masterpiece, although it failed at the box office. Vice-President of the bank Andy Dufresne is facing trial for double murder. He is accused of the death of his wife and her lover, but the protagonist does not recognize the fact of involvement in the crime and says that the night of the tragedy was drunk and does not remember anything...

"Major Major immediately switched to American literature, but the FBI has already managed to get a file on it. The faraway farm Major Major called his home was home to six people and a Scottish terrier. Five of the six and the terrier was found to be working with the FBI. Soon they collected so much compromising material on Major Major that they could do anything to him. The only thing they could do, however, was to send him into the army as a private". I think I've known this book exists as long as I can remember...

I'm not even surprised I didn't know anything about Mikhael Ancharov. The more I read, the more I am convinced that it is impossible to know all the good writers. You can expand your horizons as much as possible. That's what I do, in addition to having fun with books. It's still strange that such a significant figure for the Russian cultural space is a founder of the bardic song genre, a military translator, a Chinese painter, an artist, a scriptwriter, a prose writer, and Vysotsky himself called him his teacher...

"In the next few months, there will be only a few last strong islands of life - our mother will be tormented by treatment. She was plowed and slammed like a car on the side of a highway. Remember how you slam the driver's door in the air when you finally managed to reopen the damn wreckage and pray for a few more miles? Every day it was like a factory like this. We drove through a little bit and stalled again". It was seven years ago, it was freezing and I was afraid the car wouldn't start after the movie theater, the battery was weak...

Hello, folks. If you're looking at this resource carefully, you're probably aware that I like reading very much. And absolutely different books. Reading for me is not only a way to get knowledge and information, but also just one of the main pleasures in life. Therefore it is not surprising that I read a lot of detectives and very much appreciate this genre. And I am glad that many of the masters of detective work, who were not well known in our country before, are now gaining a worthy popularity...

"I'm gonna fall on that one, the one with the Civilian, anyway. And the commissioners in dusty helmets will bend over me in silence". The rule of two books: you want to make an idea about the writer, read at least two of his books - strengthened the belief that the combination of a talented writer and a bright thinker in Mikhail Ancharov does not make it my author. It is normal, so often happens: you admire the skill, intelligence, stylistic sophistication, but the heartstring does not respond. There are a few of them, which are in perfect resonance with you...

"Pence against the schoolboy, or what happens if the old regime's old legacy is launched into the young new world". The main point of reading literary prize nominees of various levels, even the most prestigious ones, is to find a really good book. When I hear that modern Russian literature stagnates, does not develop, local, peripheral, provincial - I want to ask, but judge by whom? If according to the winners of the golden troika: Natzbest, Big Book, Russian Booker, yes. The point is not even that the winners are not the best things, in fact, among them are very decent ones...

To understand why Gaskell of normal girls with a rich imagination made a mysticism sufferer, who at midnight under the moon ate heather in half with poems, worshiped the tall figure of his father-tyrant and dragged the guilt for his brother - an alcoholic and harlot, it is necessary to understand certain conventionalities of Victorian society and what kind of person was Charlotte Bronte herself. Here I should probably send everyone to the wonderful work of Lukasta Miller, called The Vgopto Myth....
