Jane in NC Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Not much reading happened today but I have had a great day! It is my birthday.....explored a fun new to us village/town, went out for lasagne(a favourite), then listened to the dc's play Happy Birthday on the bells at practice from the comfort of my living room. I normally climb the 94 steps to join them, mom holiday tonight. ;) That is SO COOL. Shifty eyes notwithstanding. NO WAY!!! Mine too. :cheers2: Happy, happy birthday to mumto2 and Pam! Wishing you much joy and many good books in the year ahead. I finished reading The Lighthouse (P.D. James) which was--searching for words here. James is a good writer but the finer points of this mystery missed the mark for me. Has anyone here ever mentioned Some Girls, Some Hats and Hitler? This is a memoir that may answer a question from this future time, namely why didn't Austrian Jews see the handwriting on the wall and leave before the Anschluss? Speaking of covers, I love this one but then I love a good hat! My cover has a different quote, this one from Alice Hoffman: Every Holocaust story is worth remembering, and Trudi's is unique--she refuses to lose her vision of what the world should be at its very best: a place of red roses, Paris avenues, and above all else, true love.

shukriyya Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Picked up Alice Hoffman's, 'The Red Garden' as a kindle $1.99 deal. I read a lot of her in my twenties but haven't read her recently. As it turns out I've got this for my last magical realism 5/5 category and another of hers, 'The Dovekeepers' for my ancient history women's pov 5/5. It's been a slow reading week overall though.

mumto2 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Happy birthday to both of you. I hope you treated yourselves to a new book. I have a new book but it is a patchwork book. I wanted to figure out how to make Patchwork Puzzle balls and needed the directions. Here is a YouTube link for what I am talking about . I also finished Slaughterhouse Five early this morning. Stacia, I can't say I loved it. I googled an AP study page for the book before I started and totally understand why the book is easy to use in the classroom. So many easy to remember themes very close to the surface......so it goes..... ;) I will be honest and say the woman and pony part is something I really would prefer my kids not read. Would I assign it to mine? Probably not at this point. It isn't currently part of anything planned and I don't feel a need to add it in. Would I remove it from a library? No. If one of my kids really wanted to read it I wouldn't stop them but I would be pretty surprised if ds made it happily through the first few pages. So I sit firmly in the middle ground not assigning or wanting it assigned, but not banning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I sit firmly in the middle ground not assigning or wanting it assigned, but not banning. I was wondering who else said they were going to read it! I couldn't remember! I appreciated hearing your thoughts ;) I finished book #47 today, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. This was the pick of one of the girls in our co-op reading group. I don't understand why Dickens's novels do not read like this story. I truly enjoyed it (again) and am always amazed that I love his writing and descriptions in this book but find it tedious in his other books. There is an abundance of good vocabulary (much like Washington Irving's short stories) and truly some delightful descriptions, my favorite being when the ghost of Christmas Present shows him Christmas morning about the town. Made my mouth water. I'll be interested in how our book discussion goes. I know that Aly is less than fond of this book. I thought she would like it better this second time around (being older), but I guess not. My favorite quote was about Scrooge's nephew, Fred... "It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good-humour." Next up I will finally get to the 4th Michael Vey book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onceuponatime Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I loved Siddhartha in my teens. I read it several times. Sort of afraid to read it now.I read Siddarttha for the first time two years ago. I didn't think it was bad but I wasn't terribly impressed.ETA: I may have enjoyed it more when I was young, my tastes have changed. So, right now I'm reading another of LeFanu's ghost stories, The Fortunes of Sir Robert Arden. I just came across this passage: "The fair haired beauty had a large proportion of that softness and pliability of temper which physiognomists assign as the characteristics of such complexions. She was much more the creature of impulse than of feeling, and consequently more the victim of extrinsic circumstances than was her sister. " Can you believe it?! He called her a dumb blonde and made it sound scientific. I'm astounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Given the discussion of works in translation, I'm reminded of this book about which I heard good things. Have any of you read it? Is That a Fish in Your Ear?: Translation and the Meaning of Everything by David Bellos"An NBCC Award and Los Angeles Times Book Award finalist A New York Times Notable Book for 2011 One of The Economist’s 2011 Books of the Year People speak different languages, and always have. The Ancient Greeks took no notice of anything unless it was said in Greek; the Romans made everyone speak Latin; and in India, people learned their neighbors’ languages—as did many ordinary Europeans in times past (Christopher Columbus knew Italian, Portuguese, and Castilian Spanish as well as the classical languages). But today, we all use translation to cope with the diversity of languages. Without translation there would be no world news, not much of a reading list in any subject at college, no repair manuals for cars or planes; we wouldn’t even be able to put together flat-pack furniture. Is That a Fish in Your Ear? ranges across the whole of human experience, from foreign films to philosophy, to show why translation is at the heart of what we do and who we are. Among many other things, David Bellos asks: What’s the difference between translating unprepared natural speech and translating Madame Bovary? How do you translate a joke? What’s the difference between a native tongue and a learned one? Can you translate between any pair of languages, or only between some? What really goes on when world leaders speak at the UN? Can machines ever replace human translators, and if not, why? But the biggest question Bellos asks is this: How do we ever really know that we’ve understood what anybody else says—in our own language or in another? Surprising, witty, and written with great joie de vivre, this book is all about how we comprehend other people and shows us how, ultimately, translation is another name for the human condition."

Desperate to marry the charming courtesan she loves, Aniri agrees to the prince's proposal as a subterfuge in order to spy on him, find the weapon, and hopefully avoid both war and an arranged marriage to a man she does not love. Third Daughter is the first book in the The Dharian Affairs Trilogy (Third Daughter, Second Daughter, First Daughter).

Nan in Mass Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Sigh - glitchy posting. Jenn - I hope you like Heyer as much as I do. : ) Happy belated birthday to Mumto2 and Pam!!! Kareni - That babblefish books sounds interesting. I have spent some time translating from English to English. If anyone reads the book, perhaps you would tell us about it? I, too, often wonder how anyone can understand anyone else, even in the same language. I think a lot of the time we don't, unless there is a large cultural overlap. When I think how much my fairly straightforward family (no headgames, barbs, or sarcasm here) alters meaning by slightly changing the wording so that it appears to be another way of saying the same thing but really says something different, I despair, but then I remember that one of the reasons I like my dog is because I speak some cat and she has kitty ears so I have some idea what she is saying. Maybe we aren't really relying on language as much as we think? Bollypunk?! I have some idea of what makes something steampunk, but what makes something bolly, other than an Indian setting? I finished Chalice. Reluctantly. It has typical Robin McKinley pacing, which is a bit different, so I don't know if anyone else would like it, but I loved it. It is rather like her Spindle's End, except about honey instead of spinning. I just bought two giant jars at the fair to go into our bread and on our oatmeal, so it was fun to be reading about its magical powers. Spindle's End and Chalice are both what I think of as domestic books, books which make me happy to be keeping house and settled. It was a good antidote to derigging the boats, which was the other thing I did today. We got the winter spar on the mooring, too, something my husband was relieved to get done before the snow flies. Fortunately, the today's predictions for 20kt. gusts never materialized. I am now reading Ten Years After, the third of my Patricia Wrede series. I am also reading bits of The Arts of the Sailor because I have to mend our canvas bags. We live out of them and have worn right through the handles. Last time I tried to mend one, I had a horrible time and I refused to do it again without a palm. Palms come one-size-fits-extra-large-man, and my hands are small, so I was using the book to help me to figure out one is used so I could successfully cut my huge one apart and sew back together again in such a way that it would be possible to use. In the end, the book wasn't very helpful for that particular purpose. Instead, my middle son, who has worked on schooners, showed me how he uses his. They aren't cheap and cutting it up was rather scary. It took me a week of wrapping it around my hand every few hours to figure out how I wanted it. I wish I'd done it ages ago. It makes sewing thick things SO much easier. The book has been useful for some knots and for the new way of patching something it taught me. Next, I have to tackle a few small tears in our mainsail. The book is surprisingly readable and has the endorsement of middle son and one of my extra sons, both of whom are sailors on schooners.
