PLEASE go ahead and read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I loved it -- and believe me, it's NOT the kind of book I usually read. It's what I like to call a little "slice of life" book. The whole book is written as a series of letters (post-WWII) between Miss Juliet Ashton -- a.k.a. "Izzy Bickerstaff" -- and several members of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Guernsey is part of the Channel Islands, which are a group of islands located in the English Channel, closer actually to France than to England. The Channel Islands were the only part of Great Britain that was occupied by Germany during WWII -- and the occupation proved to be quite harsh. Through their letters, you learn about life in Guernsey during WWII -- including the reason for the founding of the literary society -- and the origin of the name! The correspondence with these quirky people in Guernsey eventually changes Juliet's life, and it's enjoyable to watch the metamorphosis. Please let me know what you think!!
I know this much is true
Definitely! Fantastic book!
e singura pe care am citit-o de coe pana acum, dar as incerca si alte carti semnate de el

Thnaks for your review on 'Business @ the Speed of Thought'..take care. :)
Like Greece
THE DISCOVERY OF HEAVEN. I have visited Lyme Regis a lot. John Fowles lived there for many years. Magical place.
Which one of your favorites is your TOP favorite?
Had a look at google under nasturtium - I am pretty convinced - not that it matters to name the image - it is good without
When I saw yours, I double checked - how come mine is used by someone else? Then I realized it was a leaf, probably nasturtium. Nature is wonderful - wow - those droplets of water!
I am very attracted to your avatar, the reason must be obvious! Why did you choose it?
'The Road' is in some ways very dark, but there is an underlying humanity and a wonderful relationship between father and son. The scenario provokes lots of thought. The writing is brilliant - evocative, yet sometimes stark.
I think you will enjoy reading 'The Road'. It is a rather depressing story, but one I think we can all identify with. I have written an extensive review of the book on my shelf. You might want to read that first, the decide.
I would read The Crossing by Cormac McCarthy or maybe Suttree. It is a better entry if you have not read him before. You're shelf looks like you would enjoy McCarthy.
I disliked this book; didn't finish it. There was far too much moralizing; it interfered with the story line and taxed my patience.
Yes, I think you may enjoy it.
Damn! Imi pare atat de rau ca nu am citit nimic de fowles. Dar am descarcat ceva carti de-ale lui. L a un moment-dat...va trebui sa-i dau bice:). Hm...nici Shogun nu am citit, dar chiar sunt curioasa...aud peste tot de el. Ceea ce vreau neaparat sa citesc de Clavell e Changi. Cica...aia e cartea cea mai interesanta a lui. Avand in vedere ca persoana care mi-a recomandat-o e prietenul meu...clar trebuie sa ma pun pe treaba:). Mai ales ca are gusturi foarte bune ...a citit mai multe decat o sa apuc eu sa citesc pana la varsta lui, so...am sa iau ambele recomandari la cunostinta.
Sa spunem ...stilul de a scrie. Hm...e un autorul ...usuratic;)). Nu stiu...dupa ce i-am citit cartea am aruncat-o. Ma asteptam sa gasesc ceva daca nu original, macar intens, ceva care sa ma impresioneze. N-am gasit nici de unele, nici de altele. La fel si cu "De veghe in lanul de secara". Nu pot sa cred ca mi-am pierdut timpul cu cartea aia, nu are nimic interesant in ea, iar stilul autorului e cam acelasi ca al lui Truman : multe vorbe, multe pagini...pentru nimic sau pentru lucruri deja stiute. Parca as vedea un film prost. Scuze Ana, sper sa nu te supere parerea mea, de fapt nici nu vreau sa te simti atacata in vreaun fel. Iti astept parerea contrara si chiar daca ti-a placut iti respect alegerea. Si mie mi-a placut Harry Potter, doar pentru ca am citit-o la "momentul potrivit" . Cred ca daca as mai citi-o azi, nu ar mai avea acelasi farmesc. Probabil as considera-o o carte proasta, slaba chiar. Mi-ar placea sa gasesc o carte care sa dainuie in toate. Vreo idee?
