Dragon Ball Doujinshi Behavior

Christine Paxman and Gutbär.

Christine Paxman wrote, illustrated and designed even itself, but in addition also publishes the trade magazine for children and young people's literature Eselsohr , in the month after month of interesting new releases are presented. So it was natural to me particularly interesting to know their favorite book.

Christine Paxman about The Great Bear.


"This book is not a delicate work of art, it is not a technically sophisticated Litter. It is bursting with color do not. And it's flat Photoshop Gebimsel, BUT ....

... when the bear tried to hug a tree and beaver at the same time ... At this point, the picture book you want to melt with happiness. Meanwhile, the matter is simple, and the proof, once again proving that the reader needs very little luck.


bear is not like other bears. He is a good bear. Happy when he Mittler all love doll can, which is manifested with him in hearty hugs. Even better than the animals, the trees bear and the tender birch to maple century niedergeknutscht is everything that bears leaves.


would become the thin little book with the same old green and brown colors, bold and graphically clean go further. Not enough you could see themselves with this Umarmerei, will broadcast the deepest peace. But one day, just precisely the one with the beaver-tree-hug the stranger comes into Bear's life.


a lumberjack. For the first time bear a deep resentment felt when the man approached one of his favorite trees with an ax. But he would not bear all the kind-hearted when he would now be revealed. The lumberjack is very kind of closed sharply after Bear's arms. Such friendliness is not accustomed to the man fled empty-handed, only a small notch in the bark is reminiscent of the experience that sealed the bear with a heavy tree hug. Enjoy deep adapts to the brief but poignant reading. You want to use this book as Deeskalator professionally and personally, and regrets that the picture-book treatment in this country is still not socially acceptable. This book is the pure message of peace and should work on first-aid kit of every household "

Does One Treatment Work For Trichomonas

Manuela Olten, the Bücheranschauerin.

"So, is a book I really like it very much". The big rabbit's bad mood "by Delphine Durand I like this book because of the illustration style. Everything else I find interesting about this book is not. I think the content is quite okay. But the drawing style and the restrained color scheme I'm taken.


I have some picture books at home, I hardly know its contents, because I look at only the pictures, and just can not get enough of it can. So I am a Bücheranschauer, at least in picture books.

But there was also still the question about favorite books of my childhood: I started very early to read detective stories. All that came to me then in the fingers. Most often it was Agatha Christie mysteries. To this day I am a mystery fan and actually listen to illustrate the increasingly Crime audio books. I often ask myself, does that really influenced my style of illustration? "

The ax will know what and you have to answer.

Dear reader,

I asked myself many times, if your you maybe a rating system wishes for the books reviewed. Because as you know, I tend to sometimes even Labern undecided - there is not necessarily clear at the end of the article, I think the book now.

Such a scoring system has indeed (as discussed at the moment with Borstel ) advantages and disadvantages. Therefore the question to you: What do you want? If the ax now points awarded? Asterisk? Pancakes? Something completely different?

can in the side bar on the right to rate you, and suggestions via comment, I am extremely pleased. If any part, remains a punishment everything as it is. At least.

Women Being Molested On Train

Marina Lewycka: A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian.



Hmmmm. Intense brooding. Audible sigh. Hand-wringing. More or less it's me, as I write this article. Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian is in fact a very, very difficult case. It is the case that this book one of my typical station bookstore purchases is characterized by an unforeseen result . I liked the cover and I liked the title. A glance at the blurb - ah yes sounds bizarre, and funny and is praised by the newspaper review, but seems to be easy reading. Something one wants in the train.

50 pages later I was angry and confused. The exterior of the book may be categorized as misleading. Fine irony and subtlety I had promised was delivered "a skit presented at the colorful evening of a rural women's association," how Stefan Mesch on literaturkritik.de etched. It seems to me the plot is not bad: Nadia is a university lecturer Majevski late 40s Since the death of her mother lives Nadia's senile father Nikolai, a Ukrainian-born engineer, alone in his house. To the older sister Nadia for various Nickele Vera has no contact.

up, even to the idiosyncratic Nikolai crush in the 50 years younger Ukrainian Valentina steam pile driver and the blond busty girls at any cost wants to marry, to give her a British residence permit. In the face of the enemy close Nadia and Vera a fragile peace: the materialist must tick away, under any circumstances.

The family history of Majevskis is in flashbacks told - that appealed to me really well because sensitively and sympathetically told. Marina Lewycka is now trying but to pack her story as a slapstick and social criticism. In my view, goes wrong, the full pipe. I was expecting a comedy - it would have been fine if it turns out to be full-blooded drama, but this is an indecisive mixture that oscillates between black humor, tragedy and Generation novel. Several reviewers think this is the real achievement of the author, this half-baked Stilmélange bugs me.

Valentina, the Ukrainian material girl annoys me most of all. It is quite true, contradictory a figure and represent diverse, but in the case of Valentina confuses me try. The atmosphere between Nadia and Valentina changes seemingly randomly between contempt and compassion, strength and understanding. The gray is missing.

Disclaimer: It is possible that I did not understand the book. It is possible that I lack the fine sense of nuance and I appreciate the good intention of the author. It is also possible that I misinterpret the seriousness of the book as a dry good behavior. All right.

Michael Marano: Dawn Song.



We are in Boston, 1990, to Christmas. War is in the air. The sensitive Bookseller Lawrence has fled to the city on the Charles River, to get over the separation from his partner away. Lawrence has no idea that meanwhile, on the roof of his house receives a succuba their abode - a creature of hell, shape-walker and nurturing of human souls. The succuba is the daughter of Belial, the mortal enemy of Leviathan. Soon, the battle rages between the forces of evil on the streets of Boston, and we humans are nothing more than best resources.

Dawn Song urges the reader with a large pool of characters and plot lines. It is important to read this book with great interest, because I had to experience myself to swim without mercy on the spot when it tries to verkonsumieren in convenient snacks. But worth the effort because Michael Marano is a virtuoso of narrative and atmospheric horror genre. The oppressive atmosphere to end Boston's streets, he translates into dark and fine images, poetic metaphors.

While Lawrence gradually loses itself and is sinking the city into brutality and despair, below the succuba forward planned and unstoppable - in fact pave corpses their way, yet so banal you can not say no, because in reality it is much, much worse. Often Dawn Song can confuse the reader back, the book says little and even less well founded, yet it is none of these tangled concoctions who draw their secret from their obscurity. I would say most likely this: you can read this novel in less , you just have to sensing . Whoever succeeds, the constant question of "why let go of a moment that rewarded Dawn song with a long lingering, intense reading experience.

How To Do Fancy Letter

Gruezi, Hannes Binder! The Holiday Twin





With its incredibly impressive implementation of the Mörike poem "At midnight " He was one of my favorites in this year's German Youth Literature Prize in Division of picture books: the famous Swiss painter and illustrator Hannes Binder . The "Master of scraperboard technique" was famous for his detective novels to comics by Friedrich Glauser, but others received awards for the illustrations for youth legend "The Black brothers.

Here Hannes Binder on his favorite children's book:

"It has at various times corresponding favorite books. As a child, was with me, "Doctor Dolittle's Circus." And while I remained one of the distinctive art nouveau-quality illustrations to date. It can be seen in an alley, Dr. Dolittle and the cat food man with a lot of points to the long arm a bit high. The Legend coined a deep well, "Matthew waved his bread to the sky." These trifles a bizarre parallel world I think is great.

But I want to talk about my current favorite book.

I met him in Milan, the next major metropolis of the Abroad, where I inspire myself. The Italian title of the big red book by Chen Jiang Hong was "Io e Mao" - Me and Mao, much stronger than in the German translation "To Grandfather's hand"


I was. immediately impressed by the immediacy of drawing by hand, by the more adventurous of the craft. You could feel the different drawing tools. Brush, pen, the resistance to the paper. The lightness of the sketch is still preserved here.

Chen has a great security in choosing the right moment and the cut in the panels. We experience his childhood at the hands of the grandfather and get to know quite a lot of small-scale details of kitchen and household. It is these small handouts from the child's perspective, what makes this book so gripping and believable.


We experience the Cultural Revolution, the loss of individuality through children's eyes. Unlike many comics or graphic novels to political upheaval, it is the absence of any clichés, which accounts for the great quality. "

Infiniti Eurosport St950 Manual

Kristof Magnusson: I was not.



I was not is a wonderful, slightly bizarre entertainment novel. Kristof Magnusson proves everyday sense of irritation and a fast-paced plot that as can be described not too complicated but not overly trivial. If I may say it straightforward: the story is fun.

The characters are fun: Jasper
Lüdemann an investment banker to the 30's, feeds on Snickers and coffee and is quite paranoid. Secretly, he sees himself as a rock star of the dealer room, a nice reference to the "Masters of the Universe" in Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities .
Henry Lamarck is a world class writer, just 60 have become. The whole world is waiting for his new novel, but the do not exist. Instead, Henry disappears from his own birthday and was never seen again.
Meike Urbanski is his German translator who fled the Bio-philistinism in Hamburg Hills neighborhood in a shack in the countryside and there desperately waiting for Henry's manuscript.

The fate of the three adventurers woven Magnusson in Chicago, and the financial crisis provides the appropriate framework for action for the emotional confusion of the characters. The narrative perspective alternates between Jasper, Henry and Meike, short temporal transitions keep the drama in the tension. From the first page, I was in there in the plot - this is now not a given.

deserves a special mention of the wine cooler in the household of Meike's Hamburger Couple friends. Here, the classic organic market-hipster has been observed more than 30 precise.

undramatic conclusion: reads ratzefatze away, keeps well. Now.

Italian Wooden Speed Boats

Alice Sebold: The Lovely Bones.




So, friends. Da isse again. The ax has in the past two months daft as read for you. No, that's not true: it has in the past two months as stupid read for themselves. But that does not matter, because she shares her strictly subjective knowledge with you anyway.

Fine, we get started. In my sky is not the last book I read recently, but by far the most striking. Man could say that it has put me across to this day as a capital Pups, forgiveness. Partly for this reason that I have read up to this moment not a single other review of the book - I had to digest it alone. And now is also good with the Kackmetaphern.

Susie Salmon is 14 years old when she is raped and murdered by a neighbor. And it is our narrator - an omniscient observer from a higher vantage point: their heaven. The term "heaven" can not be misunderstood. We're not talking about a place of eternal bliss and spherical pain. No. No angel is there to the trauma of his own death and leave-taking mercy of Susie's shoulders to take. She watches her family and friends from the diffuse nothing without action.

Despite this, and therefore is The Lovely Bones not depressing book. Alice Sebold manages to tell with great empathy and great eloquence the story of a family that breaks in the sorrow, without being ever evoke the feeling of hopelessness. We support Sebold's characters, living and dead, in their development and perhaps learn an important lesson of human existence: suffering is happening. Just like that. And we have no choice but to go on as.

Alice Sebold shows a very keen sense of balance. Ehrlich: misled the subject of death than any other large format to pathos. And precisely on this issue pardons to large-scale death pathos best. The more it moved me, almost taken as sincere, as painful as simply Alice Sebold brings the tragedy of their history to the point.

to take leave of people, things, ideas - is a central challenge of our earthly existence. The Lovely Bones was Axt'sche the universe is an important ingredient of understanding. I hope that this book is someone out there will donate as much comfort as I do.


called The Well: The Axe is back. Hopefully you're still there. (Don and Dr. Borstel: Thank you.)



PS As always, when a book became a movie, I will hang you on the trailer. Peter Jackson is responsible for this, 2009. I will not look at me the film, but that does nothing.

: Nicoletta Ceccoli and Klaus Ensikat

title and 2 pages of: The girl in the Castle inside the Museum (English), Kate Bernheimer, Nicoletta Ceccoli, Schwartz & Wade Books, imprint of Random House to House Children's Books 2008

"If you want Nicoletta Ceccolis Translating images into a melody, "says Katharina Günther, one of my students and great help in keeping this blog, "so, imagine the sounds in front of a music box, old familiar, vague on his childhood and enchanted toy land reminiscent -. a stimulating feast for the eyes, especially for small and big girls souls and really too good to be true
The book that this creator rapt, delicate imagery is appropriate, a well-known fairy tales: The Frog King or Iron Henry, illustrated by Binette Schroeder.


This means Nicoletta Ceccoli (one of the most successful Italian illustrators!):
"I love dramatic Binette Use of perspective and shadow in this book. They also created for this story an eerie, fantastic landscape where mountains, trees and animals have human faces.

I also love the scenes with the multiple images, creating a wonderful sense of movement. Binette work is surrealistic and refined. I love how well thought out her art to the eye of an adult, yet still very communicative and enticing for children "

" The Frog King. Or Iron Heinrich "
Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm, Binette Schroeder (Illustrator),

North-South Press, edition 2009



________________________________________________


And here is the recommendation of Klaus Ensikat:

Ensikat Klaus was one of the most famous illustrators of the GDR. His images appeared among others in "The Magazine" and "Jester". After unification, he became professor of drawing at the University of Applied Sciences Hamburg. 1995 Prof. Ensikat children received the Literature Award and in 1996 became his life's work with the Hans Christian Andersen Award honored. His latest award is the Youth Literature Prize 2010 for his book "The Riddle of the Varus Battle"

But now to the favorites of his childhood, and the book, which he remembers to this day most in life. James Fenimore Cooper "The Deerslayer ".

"Whether this book was my favorite children's book or is, I can not say. It only took me very impressed. It has impressed me twice. The first time I read it was in the 40ziger years, all 5 Leather Stocking parts in a thick volume and on a Sunday. The text was certainly terrible shortened. The figure of Nathaniel Bumpoo to me but since then certainly present. My idea of nature or of North American wilderness by the relatively sparse forest supports the Mark, the book has inspired safe. 30 years later I met the first volume of the Leatherstocking books "The Deerslayer" under an illustration job. I read an unknown to me, completely new book. The heroic story of a Ranger, a fur hunter was the precise depiction of the brutal insight of European civilization in the world of native Americans. A book beyond all Indians romance. The timing of the events portrayed positioned historically accurate. The characters are drawn well differentiated and economically determined. It certainly does not matter that a figure like Nathaniel Bumppo would have been almost impossible in this environment and the noble savage indeed shows only a better way. Cooper writes the story with the distance of almost 100 years. The Deerslayer was published in 1841, the last of the Leatherstocking Tales - books. This world was there disappeared long ago. The pessimism of the author concerning the ecological change is evident. We will refer to our current problems. What more can you expect from literature. "

Eod Casualty Rate 2010

Haruki Murakami: Kafka on the beach. Håkan Nesser



the first requirement: the 15-year-old Kafka Tamura runs away from home, away from his uncaring father, the content-free existence. Mother and sister have left home so early that Kafka can not remember them. Led by an diffuse power of fate, Kafka seeks to avoid the oedipal prophecy, which he predicted his father: that he will be united with his mother and sister, killing the father, however. Kafka traveled across Japan to finally end up in a small library, which is led by the enigmatic Mrs. Saeki.

same time we follow the supposedly moronic Mr. Nakata, who can talk to cats and, apparently directed by a foreign will, unwittingly takes Kafka's track. The first lines run parallel to each other slowly, while Kafka and Nakata fulfill their destiny, stepping over the boundaries of consciousness. Since we are dealing with here is indeed Mr. Murakami, should not be surprised if it sometimes rains sardines and leeches, Johnny Walker would be killed and Kafka Tamura's much too smart anyway for a 15-year-olds.

And that brings me to the free program, because what I'm talking about really want is my fascination with the relationship of author to his hero. Oh, dear Murakami-san! No one draws his characters with so much love, warmth, and without fear of labels. Murakami affords the belief in the absolute love, he makes the simple question of the meaning of life, it affords good intentions, and he indulges in fragile, lonely, needy love characters that have the potential to own to overcome fears in favor of a higher purpose.

It is so that some reviewers call it "kitsch", because with such a full package can not handle. Others, however, love the surreal world of Haruki Murakami (probably a classic love-it-or-leave-it-thing), and it should now be no surprise that the ax is among the latter group. A novel by Murakami to be actually read more than once, because he is so rich in remarkable idea that they were not all recorded on first reading. Murakami-san has the rare ability to tell simple and profound ideas to make it accessible to every reader - a feature that I particularly guess. Books that give me new ideas, I wish much, much more often.

Does Jcpenny Salon Do Extensions

: The wide-meshed net.



One not so nice Janek Mitter wakes in the morning with the worse hangover ever, but without any memory of last night. That alone would be unpleasant, but misses. Mitter Zechtrauma is stored as though something harder: namely, when he stunned staggers into the bathroom, he finds his wife dead in the bathtub. Murdered.

Jane is convinced that he has not killed Eva, but so everyone can say, who remembers nothing. Why does Håkan Nesser Commissioner on Van Veeteren in the coarse-mesh network for the first time the investigation to Janek Mitter (in) to prove guilt.

Sounds like an exciting story that is also made solid, the Commissioner is a typical Schwedenkauz without a private life, the other investigator chronic revised. Clearly, here we are dealing with the relatively new genre "Swedish thriller". The wide-meshed network is not a novel, which leaves me with my mouth open, maybe I'll read it a second time, which is where I think abrupt, bumpy circuit - there would Nesser a few more subtle expressions can conjure up their sleeve . But if you have the sales figures the author leads to heart has Nesser can correct this deficiency in subsequent novels: the walk away like hot cakes.

One thing I do, however, noticed unpleasant: In researching this article I found that numerous reviewers, to put just under the "Hobby critics", the debut of the poor Nesser with Henning Mankell's Wallander series, in a bag searched. They had obviously read all of their Wallander frustrated and rushed to the nearest Sweden, that he kindly fill the gap until the next Wallander. Multiple I read phrases like "the book I was really disappointed because it is not comparable to Mankell" or "The Van Veeteren is not at all like the Wallander, how disappointing. "No, Håkan Nesser is not Mankell clone.

Nesser does not write like Mankell, because he now plays is Nesser. A novel assess bad, because the author dares . copy another authors NOT identical, is surely far from any books love If you really want to read Wallander is to stop buying Wallander, and if there is no longer there. unlucky like I personally know better Nesser Add as less depressed I do not. how things go, but the Wallander'sche sadness makes me somehow finished

I'd recommend the following setting:.. Forest Lake on a sultry summer evening last Bathers, occasional mosquito, a bottle of cold white wine in the refrigerator. Dark green water, the chirping of crickets. Slight burning, this cozy blanket. And there goes your reading experience.

Impression Pleurodiaphragmatic Tenting

Leonie Swann: Three Bags Full. Frédéric Beigbeder




Or

Day 14 A book in which I regularly "Oh, how nice!" would call.

One fine morning, make the sheep from Glenn Kill a chilling discovery: someone has their shepherd George murdered with a spade! Miss Maple, the cleverest sheep in the world probably persuaded their flocks to take even the investigation. For the community does not seem to be interested in solving the murder - and a motive for the attack have also almost all nasty.

Miss Maple uses criminological sent the different talents of their own kind, to solve the case. Glenn Kill is a light, entertaining novel with much wit: the perfect book for a day at the beach or the lake or on the balcony (you will stop at a nice place). The book is written consistently sheep perspective, which is the real charm of the story: we humans and our strange behavior quirks from the point of view to look from ruminants has been that for themselves. Kill the sheep from Glenn are a headstrong, bauer clever bunch - no question that they ultimately draw in their first murder case, the right conclusions. Those looking for serious

draft needs Glenn Kill not only turn over. Hair-raising excitement and dizzying twists you will look in vain. Then reacted with mild Herblassung the reviewers of the major daily newspapers on Swann's debut: too cute, too nice, too trusting. In short, the book is that too little intellectual. Yes my life, then you should maybe stop by this bookstore in and drag with the gaunt woman pinched faces.

There must now know God does not always have to be great literature, I repeat myself in this respect, like a few hundred times and annoying to roll my eyes. Glenn Kill has me in a friendly and fun to read a lot on a summer day, and I can follow the action with three glasses of ice cold rosé in Kopp yet. Now and then you will no longer sometimes than that

creeps me the inkling that feuilletonist elite is somehow fun, free consistently. There you go. If it makes schee.

Can Expired No Xplode Be Used

: 39.90.




Or

Day 13 A book in which I can only laugh.
(you already notice the constant "day XY" in the title starts to stress me)

do not know what you mean is: where I can only laugh. "I can only laugh," yes is a formulation that implies condescension and contempt. Understanding the task now, not as a phrase, but takes it literally, it would be another book in which I come not stop laughing. A very funny ham.

I choose to do neither, or both options at once, and select 39.90 by Frédéric Beigbeder. One or the other may make the merriment of the novel in question.

What about now 39.90 of Monsieur Beigbeder? You have to know that the guy enjoys the friendship of his scandal-ridden hand Monsieur Houellebecq, who is said to have incited to the novel. Fits perfectly with the natural habits - write a Nestbeschmutzerbuch to bring your notice and get out with a big bang from the oh-so-hated advertising. Noise and scandal, wonderful. Octave Beigbeder alter ego does in 39.90 exactly this - the supposed secrets of the scene, he reveals to the unsuspecting public in an attempt to deconstruct it and even the evil people advertising the same time. The rat is leaving the ship, but rather brings it to fall, strikes me about the Intention to be.

The title must of course be so and I like it pretty well: the value of the product is defined on the sale price, sale price defines the nature of the goods. In general Octave pulls out all the stops to convince the reader of the absolute depravity of the industry and leaves no cliche. Big cars, women, the inevitable cocaine illustrate Octaves devotional hedonism, which he on the other side to escape so badly to be searched (you must know: Advertising people are looking for a few years in the job always consistently higher meaning in everything and maintain a certain melancholy) . Beigbeder describes pretty vividly, but one should keep in mind that the novel for ten years under his belt and it has not really spectacular these days goes on in advertising agencies. I am so far no known case in the creative decorated the office walls of the customers with their own body fluids or killed in a freaky mood any pensioners had. I would guess a little here Beigbeder romanticized the early nineties. As the good man has a little too deeply into the gripped Glamour box, even if it really exciting and formulated to maintain the reader understands quite well.

What 39.90 but wonderfully creates, is to explain the existence of bad publicity. The structures within the agencies and their relationships to multi-billion dollar clients, the author draws with great precision and amusing realism (which I can confirm first hand, because I have read the novel almost from professional interest and had to constantly bewildered laugh, because really that is received in the daily operations of an agency, So now, without all the blood and the coke). I doubt a little, whether a reader can have outside the industry real fun 39.90 - actually the book is only truly funny when one is reasonably familiar with the operations of an agency. Or maybe it's just so exciting for everyone else because they have a quasi-secret glimpse behind the-scenes received? I just can not judge objectively.

But ultimately, the whole book is a calculated scandal, and that's what bothers me about it: the supposed demonstration of a supposedly veracheteten industry in novel form uses exactly the promotional tools that Octave / Beigbeder so theatrical is to be pilloried. That makes me the whole project in all the formal correctness of moral credibility.

That said, I really wonder what was on 39.90 perceived as so incredibly outrageous. The coke? The hookers? The brand fetishism of the protagonists? The megalomaniac murder? Hmmmm, not really, after all, it is still fiction. Beigbeder mag (eventuell!) pure intentions have been presented, but only as another profile € Roommate cliché advertisers, who can not leave it to permanently to one's own navel circle to say on talk shows provocative things and a strange French American Psycho to stylize. Boring

Buy A Gold Plated Gun

day 10, 11 & 12



No one who knows me will be particularly surprised that I like to say, let's say, creative with tedious tasks such as "31 days" project immediately. Therefore, I am pleased beyond measure that I can summarize here three days in one post (okay, really I am forward with this Measure not).

Day 10 - A book by your favorite authors / your favorite author
Day 11 - A book that you once loved but now hates
Day 12 - A book that you've received from friends / acquaintances / ... recommended

I throw ie day 10 to day 12 in a pot, add that I have no favorite authors, but a whole handful, my dear Dorothy thank you for the wonderful book tip stir to hard and comes out: Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End the World by Haruki Murakami.

And ... surprise! In addition I have ever written an article but smooth. What a coincidence as well. Because the but posting is older and may therefore not know it all or search, it is now once again right here:

not the first time I'd like a seasoned TIME critics here. Could then send me waving to the bar and shake a text from the wrist, while I drink Minzfrappé. The TIME's critics would find easily the right words and thoughts that one, yes, would be a masterpiece like this, just, and he would have enough routine to emit an intimidating and reassuring professionalism.

Unfortunately, I can thus not afford someone, so I'm sitting for two weeks (okay, with interruptions) prior to that screen and despair in the beauty of the book by Haruki Murakami. The title alone is fantastic in its bulkiness simply Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World . The I had just read, no doubt.

And when I had read it then, I knew that I in no case will be able to describe what I felt when reading. But I have no doubt the tool. Nevertheless, I will try to pass at least a small piece of it - because it might well be that this book is for anyone out there is such a great gift for me, and this possibility must not be ignored.

Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the playing of the World in two parallel story lines, between which chapters hergewechselt and forth. Hard-boiled Wonderland seems to be a Tokyo of the (distant?) To be present: A data war has broken out. The so-called system tries to encrypt the data, known as the company tries to hack it. The nameless protagonist is responsible for this data in his own brain to "wash" so that they can not be stolen - that is his most everyday job so he deserves his money. The end of the world, however, is a strange, time-and soul-less parallel world no feelings, no drama, no desires, surrounded by an insurmountable wall and omniscient.

Murakami leaves the two narrative threads to run slowly and carefully to each other, thread by thread is created between the worlds, to the common final. A complex tissue, this book without having ever be bulky. A perfect combination of form and content, distinctive smart and sensitive telling, laconic, witty and full of beautiful thoughts. Time there were small observations that have touched me, sometimes they were great ideas - Murakami can certainly both.

There is not anything to say.


the way, who now ask, what is now Day 11: The I ignore. There are no books that I once loved but now hate. These are not ex-boyfriends, man! So ne shit question.

What Does Ped On White Wire Mean

Baltscheit Martin, his sons and the favorite book of the three.

In Wikipedia, he is a German comic book artist, illustrator, writer and actor, or speaker. I like him as the author prefers. And like the best me his successful book "From the lions, could not write." That is, "The story of the fox who lost his mind" that appears in the fall, and he sent me in advance has great opportunities to catch up with the lion.

Now to the book, which he finds best.

is our undisputed favorite book:
"I've known" by Moni Port


My sons, both 20 months old love this book even if I'm not here. I'm not really interested in such books. And when the children with books, I do not like, I do not read out of sympathy or pity, but did not. So I am a No-Bad-books-reading-raven-father, or let us say this: without something in it for me, I read a word. But Moni Ports book has no words, at least not that tell stories, and yet it is a book full of ideas, sounds and drama.


The things we know are intelligently selected and arranged, and in truth it is of course purely philosophical. My boys read before showing her fingers over the beautiful, simplified drawings and I'm on the radio, speak what they think or want to hear. The best first family book that I think of you. Thanks Moni Port!
