Welcome to the Library Review Saloon! (name subject to change? what should we call it?) First installment! I hope it flies!
The library is open and there are over 2000 librarians!!!
What book?...say again?...Someone must have read it!
Have some drinks...all kinds...those ones in a coconut...we got em!
Book review! Book review!
Memnoch had a fantastic idea for book reviews in Jabidas' Noooooo!! thread.
So I will try to give it a go...please offer your opinions and thoughts too.
All of this is IMHO!
I read Siddartha by Herman Hesse outside yesterday. Is only a short
read (150 large print pages) and I would highly recommend it.
It is about life. From start to finish. The journey of a man
through out life as son, and as father. As greedy man
and as loving man, as rich man and as poor man...smart man and foolish
man. The gamut of emotions...and done in a way that gives it credibility.
This book really makes me feel good...it fills my hollow heart
with love for life and offers me a vision of the way things are
that really hits home. Probably the fourth time I have
read it but the first time in several years, and frankly I will never
wait that long to read it again.
I feel that this is a book that all schools should have as courseware.
Required reading for everyone...all ages too.
Herman Hesse the author has also wrote several other good but a lot deeper
books. Magister Ludi (also called Glass Bead Game) is good and has a lot
to offer but is also dry. I think he won noble prize for it and wrote it
while in an asylum...but I could be wrong, can't remember.
Thank you for reading this post...please read this book...is very short and easy to read and it could change your life.
I can think, I can fast, and I can wait...
P.S.
I know this book is not of the fantasy genre and I apologize if
you are offended...just can't limit myself though...sorry.
The Library Bar is well stocked after all!
Also the Library has taken a lot of effort. Constant
'page cannot be displayed' 500 - Internal Server Errors yesterday and today. Djinn Raffo has cast 'Submit New Topic' 101 times and even as I write hope is fading...awwwww.
