Llaura spune:

Cu cat cartea e mai proasta, cu atat te prinzi mai rapid, zic.
De exemplu, "Mitrea Cocor" este o carte mai proasta ca "Nada florilor".

PS. Le-am citit pe amandoua, pe cuvant; cred ca sunt cam bizi si imi cauzeaza, ca uite ce exemple am gasit :-)

adrienne12 spune:

Sanca nu am vazut filmul dar e pe lista de “to see”. Cind fiu-meu era mic ii citeam aventurile lui Obelix si Asterix. Ce-l mai amuza asta!Nu e greu (cel putin pt. mine) sa citesc numai carti bune. In primul rind am deja autori preferati. Incerc sa citesc tot ce au scris. Apoi acesti autori preferati au scris eseuri sau au dat interviuri in care vorbesc despre alte carti bune sau autorii lor preferati. Le citesc si pe alea. In fiecare an citesc (sau adaug pe lista), cartile premiate (nobel, pulitzer etc). Apoi am prieteni care ma tin la curent cu ce apare in Ro, cu ce citesc sau li s-a recomandat lor, apoi exista rubrici de carti noi in revistele pe care le citesc plus acest forum si uite asa lista creste… Nu-mi ajunge timpul pt. cite carti bune am de citit. Va rog sa ma credeti ca nu am citit The DaVinci Code si nici nu intentionez… dar o sa vad filmul.Da, am inceput Orhan Pamuk “The new life” acum citeva luni indemnata fiind de o recenzie in ziarul local dar n-am terminat-o inca (de regula citesc tispe carti in paralel plus non fiction si reviste). Se pare ca tipul a fost in turneu in sua sa-si promoveze utima carte “Snow” si a avut recenzii bune aici. La intoarcerea in Turcia a fost bagat in puscarie pt. ca spus intr-un interviu ca guvernul turc a omorit mii de kurzi si a trecut sub tacere lucrul asta (am citi asta tot in ziarul local). La presiunea comunitatii europene a fost eliberat (acum vreo luna - stire in The Economist). Cartea nu m-a dat pe spate, cel putin deocamdata, dar cum spuneam acum citesc cu nesat dance dance dance de Murakami, asa ca dupa ce termin pe asta revin la Mr. Pamuk si va zic o parere.

Georgia2 spune:

Vin si eu cu o rugaminte. Unde pot gasi siteurile cu carti si cum se acceseaza. De-abia acum am gasit subiectul asta si nu reusesc sa dau de partea I sa ma dumiresc de una singura. Ma ajuta cineva?

pai daca citesc postarea adriennei, vad io acolo ca are autori preferati, boooon. Decat ca de aici, io una m-am perdut, si anume fin'ca n-am avut noroc pa lume. Sa va zic cum mi se puse mie pata pe un autor celebru. Si bine cotat. NU, nu e Coelho, vorbeam de Marquez, ei bine, m-apuc io si citesc Dragoste in vremea holerei, buuuna carte, nene, pa urma Un veac de singuratate, oooo, chiar premiata, Cronica unei morti anuntate, interesanta, Despre Dragoste si alti demoni, iarasi care merita sa-ti pierzi vremea cu ea, Povestea tarfelor mele triste - zbang !!! ce-i asta nene? Pai nici macar prea originala nu e.... De unde deducem noi ca si autorii saracii sunt niste bieti oameni, mai au si ei zilele lor proaste, nu scot numa' si numa' capodopere cu totu' si cu totu' de aur ca trasura printesei din poveste.
Exact ce zicea si Llaura mai devreme, decat ca mai laconic

iarina spune:

Adreinne are dreptate pana la un punct...anume ca si cel mai bun scriitor are carti proaste...nimeni nu scrie numai capodopere, asa ca brenda, zau ca nu pricep de ce te incapatanezi
Revenind la subiect, voiam sa va intreb daca ati citit Sabato cu Eroi si morminte si daca merita sa ma apuc de ea... ii dau tarcoale de vreo cateva zile si nu stiu de ce am o retinere.

brendamitran spune:

Huhhhhh.....da' nu ma incapatinez deloc,voi de fapt ce ati vrea sa zic?
Spuneti-mi ce vreti sa "auziti"......

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Mai am si o intrebare: a citit cineva "The Sea" de John Banville sau Zadie Smith? As vrea sa mi le comand, dar inainte mi-ar placea sa aud si o parere de la cineva care le-a citit, pe langa recenziile pe care le-am vazut despre ele.

adimercedes spune:

Fetele, ce mai cititi si cum va merge?

Eu am inceput de cateva zile "Oscar and Lucinda" de Peter Carey. E destul de interesant si am sentimentul de deja vu oarecum, pt ca simt ca ceea ce citesc e undeva la o rascruce dintre Virginia Woolf ("To the Lighthouse"), David Lawrence ("Rainbow") si Aldoux Huxley ("Point.Counterpoint"). Si, in plus, imaginandu-mi ceea ce citesc am senzatia ca am vazut crampeie din film, dar nu pot zice exact. Oricum, cartea asta imi da sentimente amestecate: e captivanta, dar in acelasi timp parca ma si plictiseste. Imi vine sa o las balta, dar sunt totusi curioasa, m-am atasat de personaje si vreau sa vad ce se intampla in final. In alta ordine de idei, carte e foarte bine scrisa, naratorul e stra-stranepotul unuia dintre personaje, iar perspectiva asupra personajelor principale e oferita din mai multe directii, inclusiv de catre personaje secundare, care uneori sunt antipatice.

Cartea a castigat ceva premii importante in 1988, iar autorul e unul clasic si faimos in Australia. Daca ar fi sa il compar cu un autor roman la stil, cred ca as alege putin din Garabet Ibraileanu, putin din Camil Petrescu, putin din George Calinescu si poate putin din Liviu Rebreanu.

VA mai scriu despre lectura asta cand termin (acum sunt la jumatate )
