Cecenia: Il disonore russo by Anna Politkovskaya
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ci sono poche cose che si possono dire di questo libro, ma credo che la piú importante sia consigliarlo e farlo leggere al maggior numero di persone possibile; ci sono troppe guerre dimenticate e se anche questa ora sembra finita, la giornalista che piú di tutte ne ha parlato ha pagato con la vita questa sua ricerca della veritá e assieme a lei aggiungerei anche Antonio Russo di Radio Radicale, della cui morte peró, non si ricorda nessuno.

Uccidi il padre by Sandrone Dazieri
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Bel libro, peccato per alcuni refusi ed il finale che lascia aspettative che verranno deluse, non credo infatti che l'autore abbia in mente un qualche tipo di sequel, anche se non mi dispiacerebbe vedere di nuovo Colomba e Dante che sono una bella coppia patologica, tutto sommato.

Selected Poetry by Alexander Pope, Pat Rogers (Editor)

Selected Poetry by Alexander Pope
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

.............
How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;
Labour and rest, that equal periods keep;
"Obedient slumbers that can wake and weep;"
Desires compos'd, affections ever ev'n,
Tears that delight, and sighs that waft to Heav'n.
Grace shines around her with serenest beams,
And whisp'ring angels prompt her golden dreams.
For her th' unfading rose of Eden blooms,
And wings of seraphs shed divine perfumes,
For her the Spouse prepares the bridal ring,
For her white virgins hymeneals sing,
To sounds of heav'nly harps she dies away,
And melts in visions of eternal day.

A Short History of English Literature by Benjamin Ifor Evans, Bernard Bergonzi

A Short History of English Literature by Benjamin Ifor Evans

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great and interesting, probably one of the best book about the history of English Literature so far and I read many of them, the best anyway was the one written by David Daiches in my experience.

Brillante ed interessante, probabilmente uno dei migliori libri riguardo la storia della letteratura inglese fino ad ora (e ne ho letti tanti), il migliore resta comunque secondo me quello scritto da David Daiches.

Tu sei il male by Roberto Costantini
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Questo libro mi é piaciuto, anche se alla luce del finale, molte cose non erano poi cosí chiare ed altre chiaramente raffazzonate. Inoltre non era poi particolarmente ben scritto, quindi credo che parte del suo fascino sia da imputare alla trama, che molto ha pescato dalle vicende italiane degli ultimi 30 anni.

A Secret Sisterhood: The Literary Friendships of Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot, and Virginia Woolf by Emily Midorikawa

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you like to read female literature authors you would probably love this volume where friendships between some of the most famous women authors are described. I loved to get to know many details I had no idea and I liked also the epilogue where some more friendships were depicted.

Se vi piace leggere letteratura scritta da donne, é possibile che questo volume vi piaccia parecchio, perché vi sono descritte amicizie tra alcune tra le piú famose autrici di tutti i tempi. Inoltre anche nell'epilogo ne vengono raccontate altre. Un vero piacere!

The Collected Essays of Elizabeth Hardwick by Elizabeth Hardwick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have never read any work of fiction wrote by Elizabeth Hardwick, but from time to time I would read a book with her Introduction and sometimes, the introductions were the best part. So I was delighted to read this collection of Essay and I would have loved to know every author and story she was talking about. Unluckily it is not so, but it was still a fantastic reading!

Non ho mai letto i romanzi o le storie di Elizabeth Hardwick, ma mi é capitato spesso di leggere dei romanzi con la sua introduzione, e a volte erano l'unica cosa che si salvava. Quindi sono stata felicissima di leggere questa raccolta e avrei anche voluto conoscere ogni autore qui nominato, ma purtroppo non é stato così, ciononostante é stata una fantastica lettura!

Nice recipes from the southern part of the U,S. in the double version meet/vegetarian, with a clear explanation and not so difficult to find ingredients, so if you are interested in learning some southern food, this is the book for you!

Ricette interessanti che vengono dal sud degli Stati Uniti nella doppia versione con/senza proteine animali, con spiegazioni chiare ed ingredienti facili da trovare, quindi un buon libro se siete interessati a scoprire il cibo di quelle parti!

Fast Food Genocide: How Processed Food is Killing Us and What We Can Do About It by Joel Fuhrman

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I found this book excessive in his demonizing almost everything so I cannot really write a good review, mostly because I don't think that this is good information.

Trovo quanto scritto in questo libro assolutamente eccessivo e il fatto che demonizzi praticamente qualsiasi cosa da mangiare mi fa pensare che questo non sia il modo corretto di fare informazione.

I always like to read about my favorite authors, especially when two of them were friends. However, more than an essay, this little volume seemed to me more a collection of personal considerations of the author that a scientific research based on facts and data.

Mi piace sempre leggere riguardo i miei autori preferiti, specialmente se due di questi erano amici. Comunque piú che un saggio, questo piccolo volume mi é sembrato piú un insieme di considerazioni personali da parte dell'autore che una ricerca scientifica basata sui fatti e dati.

CHERISH HARD

A Hard Play Novel by Nalini Singh

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh kicks off her new Hard Play contemporary romance series with a sizzling story that’ll leave you smiling…

Sailor Bishop has only one goal for his future – to create a successful landscaping business. No distractions allowed. Then he comes face-to-face and lips-to-lips with a woman who blushes like an innocent… and kisses like pure sin.

Ísa Rain craves a man who will cherish her, aches to create a loving family of her own. Trading steamy kisses with a hot gardener in a parking lot? Not the way to true love. Then a deal with the devil (aka her CEO-mother) makes Ísa a corporate VP for the summer. Her main task? Working closely with a certain hot gardener.

And Sailor Bishop has wickedness on his mind.

As Ísa starts to fall for a man who makes her want to throttle and pounce on him at the same time, she knows she has to choose – play it safe and steady, or risk all her dreams and hope Sailor doesn’t destroy her heart.

☆☆☆☆☆☆

EXCERPT

Fuming, Ísa made sure to set the alarm system and lock up. Everyone else was already well into their summer vacation—the sole reason Ísa was here was because she hadn’t been able to work on her lesson plans at home.

Her upstairs neighbor was having repairs done to her bathroom that required banging and hammering.

Not all of it involved nails and wood.

Hopefully the repairs would be finished by now. There was only so much ecstatic orgasmic screaming that a single woman in online-dating purgatory could stand without being driven to violence.

She spotted the tan-colored gardening truck the instant she came down the front steps of the school’s imposing redbrick main building and turned left to head toward her car. The hot gardener had parked it right next to her zippy blue compact. The front of the truck had four doors with tinted windows while the large bed was piled with shovels and other manly tools as well as a huge sack of clippings.

His light brown T-shirt was hanging over the top of the tailgate.

Which meant he was still walking around topless somewhere around here.

“Get in your car, Ísa,” she muttered to herself, well aware what would happen if she came face-to-face with that delicious hunk of manhood. Because while she might’ve conquered her shyness, she knew her limits.

Confronted by a bare-chested man who made her ovaries explode, she’d turn bright pink, lose her ability to form speech, and end of story. “Oh—”

She would’ve bounced off that sculpted chest if he hadn’t grabbed her by the hips.

“Hey, sorry,” he said with a startled smile that lit up the dazzling blue of his eyes. “I didn’t see you.”

“No, um, my fault.” It looked as if he’d crouched down to check one of his tires or something else but had risen to his feet right when she swung around to get into her car. And God, his skin was so hot and smooth and he was so tall and his shoulders were so broad and her mouth was drying up. The stuttering would begin at any moment.

The same stuttering Suzanne had mocked relentlessly when they were fourteen. Until Ísa had gone silent around everyone except the few friends she trusted. And now that horrible, ugly-hearted girl was getting married, having a baby, getting a happily-ever-after. Added to which, Ísa’s mother was jerking her on a string like she was a marionette, and her last “date” had asked her to call him Woofy and reward him with doggy biscuits.

The blue of the gardener’s eyes flickered with a hot flame.

And she thought… I know him. But before she could follow that faint thread, all the fury and hurt and frustration and sheer aggravation in Ísa ignited into an incandescent inferno.

She went mad.

Grabbing the hot gardener’s beautiful face in her hands, she said, “I want to kiss you.”

A wicked grin. “Go on ahead.”

And Ísa pressed her lips to his.

We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy by Ta-Nehisi Coates
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Such a sad description of the events that happens before during and little after the elections of Barack Obama, such a disillusionment after the election of trump; I like the way the author has to put everything in perspective, but as I just came back from one month in the U.S., the situation is pretty dire out there and this book helped me understand why people voted for who is even worse than berlusconi ever was, and that's a lot to say.....

Una triste descrizione degli avvenimenti accaduti prima, durante e dopo gli anni di Barack Obama alla casa bianca, una totale devastazione al risultato delle ultime elezioni, ma questo libro nella sua lucida disamina degli eventi, mi ha aiutato a capire come mai la gente abbia votato per trump che é addirittura peggiore di quanto berlusconi sia mai stato, che é dire proprio tanto....

The Mindful Vegan: A 30-Day Plan for Finding Health, Balance, Peace, and Happiness by Lani Muelrath

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Less recipes and a lot more of meditation in this book, where a ~31 days plan is laid out to help people eating mindfully and vegan. I haven't read since now this couple (vegan+mindfulness) and I found it interesting enough, but it wouldn't be easy to apply; anyway if you want to try, this book may give you a lot of help with practical tips and suggestions.

Meno ricette e più meditazione, in questo libro dove viene delineato un piano di circa 31 giorni per mangiare in modo più consapevole e vegano. Questa era un'accoppiata nuova per me (vegan+mindfullness) e devo dire che mi é sembrata interessante, ma certo di non facile applicazione. Comunque se vi sentite di provarla, questo libro é molto chiaro ed offre una serie di suggerimenti e di spunti che possono aiutare.

The Creative Family Manifesto: Encouraging Imagination and Nurturing Family Connections by Amanda Blake Soule
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Old and new ideas to play with kids, mostly outdoor but even inside. Sometimes I wonder what to do with my kid but it's not easy to find a solution, so this book offers an easy way out to escape the usual tv and videogames. But I have to admit that mostly my preference goes to books.

Nuove e vecchie idee per giocare con i bambini, principalmente all'aria aperta, ma anche in casa. Spesso mi chiedo cosa fare con mio figlio e non é facile trovare soluzioni innovative, mentre questo libro offre parecchi spunti per ovviare alla solita Tv e videogiochi. Resta comunque il fatto che se mio figlio é d'accordo, i libri sono sempre la nostra prima scelta.

Revelation by Lauren Dane
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The usual shpeshifter story where testosterone is a little bit too much, even if I don't mind when the woman, as in this case, are not doormat. Kendra and Max are a good couple and mostly their story is a step in advance of the whole plot, which I find good, because I would like to think as this one as not another never ending story.

La solita storia di shapshifter dove il testosterone abbonda, ma la cosa non mi dispiace se le donne non sono "zerbino simili". Kendra e Max sono una bella coppia e la loro storia serve anche a portare avanti la storia globale della serie, il che mi fa piacere anche perché sarebbe carino avere finalmente una serie che finisce.

The Forgetting Machine: Memory, Perception, and the "Jennifer Aniston Neuron" by Rodrigo Quian Quiroga

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mostly this book is about the brain, but the part about the memory and perception is absolutely uptodate and I found it clear explained and particularly interesting, as I had no idea there was an honest to God Jennifer Aniston neuron!

La maggior parte di questo libro é dedicata al cervello ed alle varie modalità di processare le informazioni, poi c'é la parte sulla memoria che é fantastica ed aggiornatissima, dove ho scoperto che esiste veramente un neurone Jennifer Aniston!

Loving Ashe by Liz Durano
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received the audio book and I found it pretty good. The story was ok and funny from time to time, the reader was a good one and she was able to make all the different accent, as far as I could say. So I recommend it.

Ho ricevuto l'audiolibro per una recensione e mi é piaciuto. La storia non era male e anche divertente a volte, la lettrice inoltre era in grado di fare tutti i vari accenti, per quanto mi sia possibile stabilire, quindi se volete ascoltare un libro d'amore senza grosse pretese, questo va bene.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked this book, but I really struggled to finish it, it is very dense, full of characters and stories, but certainly interesting, too bad for those 150 pages,at least, that were too much in my opinion. Ifemelu's blog contains insights crazy for someone like me, who does not even have a black friend (not by choice) and certainly this novel is a kind of incredible breakthrough into the lives of African-American people, but to return to the characters, I find a little difficult to understand what Ifemelu found then in Obinze, whom already was not so interesting when he was young and aging is even worse.

Il libro mi é piaciuto, ma ho veramente fatto fatica a finirlo, é molto denso, pieno di personaggi e di storie, ma indubbiamente interessante, peccato per quelle 150 pagine di troppo, almeno. Il blog di Ifemelu contiene degli insight pazzeschi per chi, come me, senza volerlo, non ha nemmeno un amico di colore e sicuramente questo romanzo é una specie di incredibile spaccato sulla vita delle persone di colore, ma per tornare ai personaggi, mi risulta un po' difficile comprendere che cosa ci trovasse poi Ifemelu in Obinze, che giá non era un granché da giovane, ma invecchiando é anche peggiorato.

The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats by W.B. Yeats

The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats by W.B. Yeats
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Sailing To Byzantium

I
That is no country for old men. The young
In one another's arms, birds in the trees
---Those dying generations---at their song,
The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas,
Fish, flesh, or fowl commend all summer long
Whatever is begotten, born, and dies.
Caught in that sensual music all neglect
Monuments of unaging intellect.

II
An aged man is but a paltry thing,
A tattered coat upon a stick, unless
Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing
For every tatter in its mortal dress,
Nor is there singing school but studying
Monuments of its own magnificence;
And therefore I have sailed the seas and come
To the holy city of Byzantium.

III
O sages standing in God's holy fire
As in the gold mosaic of a wall,
Come from the holy fire, perne in a gyre,
And be the singing-masters of my soul.
Consume my heart away; sick with desire
And fastened to a dying animal
It knows not what it is; and gather me
Into the artifice of eternity.

IV
Once out of nature I shall never take
My bodily form from any natural thing,
But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make
Of hammered gold and gold enamelling
To keep a drowsy Emperor awake;
Or set upon a golden bough to sing
To lords and ladies of Byzantium
Of what is past, or passing, or to come.

William Butler Yeats

The Undercover Economist Strikes Back: How to Run-or Ruin-an Economy by Tim Harford

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I have to admit that, unfortunately, I didn' like this book as much as the first, nor did I find it likewise interesting. I found it all too theoretical and impractical, except for the example of the nanny clearly, because it concerns us, but it is as if, in the wave of the success of the first book, the author had wanted to repeat but he was sensationally short of ideas .....

Devo ammettere che purtroppo, questo libro non mi é piaciuto tanto quanto il primo, né mi ha parimenti interessato. Ho trovato tutto troppo teorico e poco pratico, eccetto l'esempio delle baby sitter chiaramente, anche perché ci riguarda da vicino, ma é come se, sulla scia del successo del primo libro, l'autore avesse voluto bissare ma fosse stato clamorosamente a corto di idee.....

Why We Sleep: The New Science of Sleep and Dreams by Matthew Walker
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

As I studied sleep before, there were no absolute new information in this book, but I found it to be quite esaustive on every thing is necessary to know about why we sleep and the best way to handle sleep problems. so it was an absolutely interesting reading.

Io il sonno l'ho studiato quindi non é che in questo libro ci fossero informazioni particolarmente nuove, ma l'ho trovato particolarmente chiaro ed esaustivo per quanto riguarda le ragioni per cui "dovremmo" dormire di piú e meglio e come gestire gli eventuali problemi del sonno, quindi é stata comunque una lettura molto interessante.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Victorian's rebel Saga keeps on giving me good books to read. This time the romance is about the Earl of Thorne and a runaway American. Sometimes the story is a little bit slow, but the author made the reading worthwhile.

La saga dei Victorian's rebel, continua a fornirmi buoni libri da leggere. Stavolta la storia ruota attorno all'Earl of Thorne e ad una fuorilegge americana. A volte la storia rallenta un pochino, ma tutto sommato l'autrice é stata in grado di tenerla in piedi.

The House of the Four Winds by Mercedes Lackey
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Nice funny story that it is easy to read and easier to forget. If in a way it remembers be about "Princess Bride", in other ways it cannot even be compared to that masterpiece, so mixed feelings about this novel.

Piccola storia divertente e anche un po' scontata, facile da leggere e ancora piú facile da dimenticare. Se per alcune cose mi ricorda la principessa Bottondoro, per altre Clarice non é nemmeno lontanamente paragonabile a quel capolavoro che é "La storia fantastica", quindi direi che riassumendo, ho dei sentimenti contrastanti rispetto a questo romanzo.
