Bu kitaplardan herhangi birini her okuduğumda, hayal gücüne düşkünlüğün önemini öğreniyorum. Bu kitaplar çocukluk masumiyetini mükemmel bir şekilde yakalar ve bunu yapabildikleri için onları seviyorum. Ne zaman hayal etmek istersem Anne Shirley'in yapabileceğini düşündüğüm şeyi yapıyorum. Bu kitapları her yıl en az bir kez tekrar okuyorum (evet takıntılıyım) ve her yıl yeni bir şeye aşık oluyorum. Hangisinin benim favorim olduğu konusunda asla kararımı veremem ... hepsi en iyisi! Ve evet, ben de, sürekli akraba ruhlar arayışındayım.

Very much a Kazuo Ishiguru novel. The beauty is in the details, in the descriptions, in the slow build and the heartbreaking moments, of which there are hundreds. I read this book knowing absolutely nothing about it, except who it was by. If possible, I'd recommend that everyone read it just like that. It's stunningly written with a beauty and restraint that few authors employ nowadays. Unlike so many books I've read lately, this book is revealed to the reader slowly, mysteriously, letting you speculate, wonder, figure out. It's like a walk through the countryside, lovely, sparse and just a bit too cool; like the moment your bath hits that temperature where it's almost too cool but it's still nice, just the slight edge of discomfort and even then, your not sure you feel it. And, of course, it's poignant, relevant, political, but the book doesn't take you there, you have to go there on your own. And you will. You won't be able to help it.

absolutely love it

Charles de Lint is the master of modern fantasy. His stories are set in the modern world and use fairy tales, myths, and Native American folklore to make the world a more fantastic place. I can not get enough of his work.

Excellent and thoughtful analysis of Sri Lankan situation, continues theme of war and analysis of human betrayal against group identities as started in the English Patient. and of course, inexpressibly beautiful.

A great book for anyone thinking of doing some long range sailing, or an around the world cruise.
