How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read
Author: Pierre Bayard
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1596917148
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
In this delightfully witty, provocative book, literature professor and psychoanalyst Pierre Bayard argues that not having read a book need not be an impediment to having an interesting conversation about it. (In fact, he says, in certain situations reading the book is the worst thing you could do.) Using examples from such writers as Graham Greene, Oscar Wilde, Montaigne, and Umberto Eco, he describes the varieties of "non-reading"-from books that you've never heard of to books that you've read and forgotten-and offers advice on how to turn a sticky social situation into an occasion for creative brilliance. Practical, funny, and thought-provoking, How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read-which became a favorite of readers everywhere in the hardcover edition-is in the end a love letter to books, offering a whole new perspective on how we read and absorb them.

The Conversations We Never Had
Author: Jeffrey H. Konis
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781478776024
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
This is the dream of a grandson, who had taken his grandmother for granted, to have a second chance, the opportunity to learn about his family from the only person in the world who knew them, who remembered them. My father remembers nothing about his real parents for they were dead by the time he was nine. Olga, his mother's younger sister, survived the Holocaust, found my father hiding on a farm in Poland and later brought him to America to raise as her own. He never asked her any questions about his parents. Though I later moved in with Olga for a period of time, I repeated history and never asked her the questions my father never asked. Olga has been gone for more than twenty years, along with everything she could have told me, leaving me with a sense of guilt and profound regret. The Conversations We Never Had is a chronicle of my time spent with Grandma "Ola" and tells the stories she might have shared had I asked the questions.

Never Talk to Strangers
Author: Irma Joyce
Publisher: Golden Books
ISBN: 0375849645
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 33
Book Description
If you are hanging from a trapeze And up sneaks a camel with bony knees, Remember this rule, if you please— Never talk to strangers. This book brilliantly highlights situations that children will find themselves in—whether they’re at home and the doorbell rings, or playing in the park, or mailing a letter on their street—and tells them what to do if a stranger (always portrayed as a large animal, such as a rhino) approaches. Colorful, ’60s-style “psychedelic” artwork and witty, lively rhyme clearly spell out a message about safety that empowers kids, and that has never been more relevant. Irma Joyce wrote many Golden Books during the 1960s. George Buckett was a popular children’s book illustrator during the 1960s.

The Love I Never Had
Author: Joél Scott
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781072946946
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
This a book of poems that I wrote from twenty to twenty five years old. These are about real relationships and issues that I was dealing with during those times. Back then rather than talk to someone I would write these poems to self medicate. Some of these will be beautiful, while others will clearly express the rancid emotions of my mind. For me, reading these years later I knew I had to share them. I see the growth and the not growth. But most of all, despite the chaotic ways of my early youth, I still connect with that deep desire for love. I think most of us do. And for those who have struggled to love, but still love love--I wrote this book for you. The Love I Never Had is a poetic homage to the classic musical concerto. The three phases of this collection of poems details real relationship highs, lows and everything between.
