The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay: A Novel»rank: 1725par: Michael Chabon
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Like the comic books that animate and inspire it, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is both larger than life and of it too. Complete with golems and magic and miraculous escapes and evil nemeses and even hand-to-hand Antarctic battle, it pursues the most important questions of love and war, dreams and art, across pages brimming with longing and hope. Samuel Klayman--self-described little man, city boy, and Jew--first meets Josef Kavalier when his mother shoves him aside in his own bed, telling him to make room for their ... |

Cat's Cradle»rank: 213par: Kurt Vonnegut
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Cat's Cradle, one of Vonnegut's most entertaining novels, is filled with scientists and G-men and even ordinary folks caught up in the game. These assorted characters chase each other around in search of the world's most important and dangerous substance, a new form of ice that freezes at room temperature. At one time, this novel could probably be found on the bookshelf of every college kid in America; it's still a fabulous read and a great place to start if you're young enough to have missed the first Vonnegut ... |

The Third Chimpanzee: The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal»rank: 13486par: Jared Diamond
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Jared Diamond states the theme of his book up-front: 'How the human species changed, within a short time, from just another species of big mammal to a world conqueror; and how we acquired the capacity to reverse all that progress overnight.' The Third Chimpanzee is, in many ways, a prequel to Diamond's prize-winning Guns, Germs, and Steel. While Guns examines 'the fates of human societies,' this work surveys the longer sweep of human evolution, from our origin as just another chimpanzee a few million years ago. Diamond writes: lt's ... |

Holidays On Ice»rank: 3087par: David Sedaris
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Holidays on lce is a collection of three previously published stories matched with three newer ones, all, of course, on a Christmas theme. David Sedaris's darkly playful humor is another common thread through the book, worming its way through 'Seasons Greetings to 0ur Friends and Family!!!' a chipper suburban Christmas letter that spirals dizzily out of control, and 'Front Row Center with Thaddeus Bristol,' a vicious theatrical review of children's Christmas pageants. As always, Sedaris's best work is his sharply observed nonfiction, notably in 'Dinah, the Christmas Whore,' the ... |
