İngiliz Ordusu'nun en büyük savaşçısı, sevgilisi ve hikaye anlatıcısı olan Özel Mulvaney ile tanışın!

Son zamanlarda yeniden kitap okurken, bunu tekrar denedim çünkü çok fazla arkadaşım ve kesinlikle seven bir eşim var, ama ilk kez okuduğumda (90'ların başı?) Sevdim ama sevmedim ' sevmiyorum. Fikrim değişmedi. İnsanların bu kitap hakkında neyi sevdiğini anlamak istiyorum, ama nedense sevmiyorum. Oh iyi. Birçok insan onu seviyor, bu yüzden bu benim kaybım gibi görünüyor.

Diziye iyi bir sargı.

Bu izole, nadiren ziyaret edilen ülkede birkaç yıl geçiren Kanadalı bir kadının inanılmaz hikayesi.

Bazı Dalai Lama'nın maya ile uğraşmak için yazdıklarından veya bizi mutsuz eden yanılsamalardan ve kontrol edemediğimiz şeyler hakkında kendimizi çalışma şeklimizden daha pratik bir yaklaşım.

Sanırım bunu 100 yıldan fazla beğendim. Güzel hikaye. Bu adamın yazma adaletini yapan kelimeleri bile düşünemiyorum. Okumak için sadece bir kitabım olsa, bu kitap olabilir.

I cannot make up my mind about this book. I enjoyed the historical context and the Downton Abbey-esque setting but I found a majority of the book simply okay.

In one way, this book gives me insight into the inner thoughts of the psychedelic-era-style belief systems that allow for instantaneous communication across the universe, telepathy, previous lives, and mental transcendence to different realities. But in another way, I'm left just as baffled as before. Lilly does explain his experiences and some of the beliefs that surround them in a rather straightforward way, but I still don't feel like anything is actually explained. He leaves open a lot of room for skepticism, saying that he's a skeptic himself, and essentially remains agnostic on the existence of actual higher dimensional beings and realities or whatever it is he describes that happens to him when he mediates himself into a blissful plane of existence. All he knows is that, when he follows these procedures, this is what he experiences, and more people should do it because it's pretty great. Somehow it doesn't all fit together. And what I mean by that is, I already have a framework for understanding reality and he doesn't try to explain it using the vocabulary that I'm used to, so it just sounds like garbage to me.

Poesía épica de largo vuelo y dimensiones colosales. Muy ameno y repleto de ejemplos, es un "espejo de príncipes".

In the middle of it... love it!

This is the first time I've read the entire book since college. This time I really enjoyed all the history of the Civil War and the South. I just kept thinking how glad I am not to be living in this era of class system, and segregation. All the rules of who could be "received" in your home, etc. The story is still gripping after all these years. There is so much more to the book, that obviously couldn't be captured in the movie version. In the book version, "for two years, Ashley squired Scarlett about the county, to balls, fish fries, etc." No wonder she was so in love with him, and he totally led her on, when he knew he was to marry Melanie. Since the book started when Scarlett was age 16, apparently Ashley started seeing her when she was age 14. The book doesn't say Ashley's age at that time, but he had been in Europe for 3 years after college, so he was obviously older, something that would not happen today with 14 year old girls. There is so much history of the south--really a great read.
