Tooth Extraction Pregnant

Books ...

Recently I read a mix of books actually unusual in that jumble. The impressions are more varied.

- The Gospel According to Jesus Christ (J. Saramago)
was so long since I read a really good book. A book that sinks the essence of simplicity and beauty of being human. In its weakness, its strength in the ludicrous and moving, his heroism born of the love and courage.
A book about man, his need for God which at times seems addiritura - the latter on a whim - for each other.
A book written in a language is essential, which leaves exude a melancholy gaze lovingly toward the human being and his passions.
A book that makes you think that the need to write at times with conicida the need to live.


- Sergeant Getulio (JURibeiro)
to write a good monologue have to be good.
And this is a monologue almost beautiful.
I would say basically that this book is proof beyond doubt that reading great literature (in this case I do not see how it can not be the wonderful Guimaraes Rosa) does not become great writers, but does at least write well.

- Zen and the art of fucking (J. Fo)
a book funny, sometimes tedious at times funny, at times almost brilliant.
Filled with understandable resentment for a lot of categories of communication and press, and also filled with a love for the fine human being expressed in the most simple and instinctive interest in the body or the soul as a landing.
A booklet which, as a booklet, can be understood with taste and sbrigatività, nor that weighs on the stock exchange nor in the brain but at least on the surface while addressing some of the socio-relational Consequences of "progress." Five
€ absolutely well spent.

- Of Love and Shadows (I. Allende)
I can not ethically destroy a book about such a system really institution and its actions. I can not. A little self-respect is a spontaneous and mitigates the bitterness of poor literature that write this book.
Allende is a woman who embodies in all its clichés the idea of \u200b\u200ba woman who writes (the adolescent diaries, ed): loves his characters and makes up her mind to ensure that all learn to worship through (and nothing is wrong) descriptive endless digressions, often repetitive in its content and stylistic features, dramatically devastating narrative level as in a stroke can interrupt the rhythm of the narrative, to distract the reader from the context, annoyed with a lot of quality discounted repeated ad nauseam, arouse distaste and antipathy towards any form of life that moves between pages (and I do not mean any insects buzzing reading), and prolong agony as a plot that could end to his greater strength and summa cum joy of all in the exact middle of the book. Summarily
a book without salt or pepper ugly, just made respectable only by the dramatic historical events that pass through like ghosts.
Allende I did not understand why it is so popular ...

- The Baron in the Trees (Italo Calvino)
those who have never experienced the great pleasure of reading a great book to read as a child that provides immediately. And if possible with one of the masterpieces of this wonderful genius of our literature.
I have very little to say, why do I dwell on certain things unnecessarily. I only say that it is difficult to take a historical situation and through it in all its complexity (in his problems in its social political aspects, etc..) While writing a story for children. is difficult and must be good at not realizing the fact. To educate according to various levels of reading, telling stories in a more just, intertwined like the branches of a tree.
must be good and Italo Calvino's very good. An appreciation
apart I feel in having to do with those old editions einaudi red and white for the school and assume that, not necessarily the reader knows all the words, not necessarily the reader knows by heart the history of the past. And this setting, information and training is an almost forgotten gem ... in fact, forgotten first, and labeled as useless / harmful even before the literature itself.

- The Little Prince (A. de Saint Exupery)
"You got some reading the Little Prince," I used to hear me say ...
No, I did not read the little prince and I remedied. Maybe I should have thought of that before when I was a little girl and maybe then I could really appreciate what everyone extolled as the basic book in the literary path of any child.
The idea is very nice, the interesting points but I believe that if one writes a book for children, not can transform it into a book for adults nostalgic for the condition of children and vice versa.
Who wants to write a book for children who have a sense of social, political, historical, psychological, etc and it takes like Elsa Morante, Gianni Rodari company and singer.
The idea of \u200b\u200bsuicide as a solution to leave a condition of suffering, lack, is an idea as adults. It is not the idea of \u200b\u200bdeath, is the idea of \u200b\u200bsuicide, voluntary interruption of their lives through plus an "accomplice" to the nature of which we rely as irresistible. Idea of \u200b\u200bsuicide shooting at the last minute with little tricks functional, and therefore does not cease to be an idea very far from the mind of a child and I would say fortunately.
will also be the king of children's books to my son but one day I will give "The Adventures of Onion" preferring rather that represents an idea is formed and the political and social rather than the unhealthy idea is that when the wrong choices' only to go back and give up their lives. It will also be
that are simplistic, ignorant and sick of positivity toward the human being and the world, but a children's book that talks about suicide, I deplore.
And to think that started so well ...

- The Girl from Bebo (E. Cassola)
About Tuscan enjoys it twice. Who is Tuscan and a descendant of the partisans a little 'more. Almost the difference between a translation and a text in its original language. You will recognize the places, faces, ways of acting and speaking. The language and the dry
Cassola is never far from the world, the nature of his characters, their daily lives. The bloody fight transported from the fields, from politics to the daily workings of the people, take a taste of courage and persistence, love for your great great people, who is recognized as such. Taste of pity and hope and desire for change as the construction of a new peace, a new normal in the shadow of the innate sense of justice and duty.
A book of resistance, a resistance that goes beyond the guns of the partisans to crown as heroin the daily effort of ordinary people who ceases to be any rise to the task of ending the battle flag but powerful people.
A book that makes you smile and moved its popular exclamations so poetically, of his characters just hatched yet so real, its countryside and its meetings.
A good book, finally.
