From the bustling streets of Budapest to small provincial towns where nothing ever seems to change, this ghostly Lothario encounters his old flames wherever he goes: along the banks of the Danube; under windows where they once courted; in churches and in graveyards, where Eros and Thanatos tryst. Lies, bad behavior, and fickleness of all kinds are forgiven, and love is reaffirmed as the only thing worth persevering for, weeping for, and living for.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ffffed;

There are only attitudes towards the future which shape possible futures from the vantage of the present: foully apocalyptic, silvery utopian, cautiously conservationist. These attitudes can even coexist within each of us. When you think about the crisis of the book you are really confronted with a crisis of your will. You can choose the culture you want, although you may not get it exactly as you dreamed. If you commit yourself, again and again—and it is an ongoing commitment, less easy than it used to be—to the culture of thought, inquiry, and rhetorical expression that arose in conjunction with the written word, inevitably you will carry books with you in whatever form, and inevitably you’ll want to “access them” and compose them in their traditional bound and printed form, if only to feel a shimmer of connection to earlier human generations."&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: ff-meta-serif-web-pro-1, ff-meta-serif-web-pro-2, Palatino, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;

It is neither a novel nor a collection of short stories, but something in between: a series of chapters featuring interlocking characters at different points in their lives, whose individual voices combine to a create a symphonic work that uses its interconnected form to explore ideas about human interconnectedness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;

Her characters are sophisticated, highly literate, relatively affluent and often musical. They travel, they read, they go to museums and concerts: they take pleasure in what the world offers. They’re also principled, and moral responsibility plays an important part in their lives. Pearlman’s prose is smooth and poetic, and her world seems safe and engaging. So it’s arresting when, suddenly, almost imperceptibly, she slips emotion into the narrative, coloring it unexpectedly with deep or delicate hues."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;

the Barnes of suburban love and unfashionable hobbies and metaphysical modesty. As for Barnes the personality, the friend and husband, the raconteur, he is in the end more evanescent. His exposure of these selves feels like the momentary exposure of his own roots, his workings, all somewhat raw. But his fiction is used to the light, and thrives in it."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;Bron:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, serif; line-height: 29px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/jan/08/julian-barnes-pulse-rachel-cusk-review"&gt;Pulse by Julian Barnes - review . - The Guardian&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9200166845961795152-8262128276382618995?l=leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/feeds/8262128276382618995/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/2011/02/pulse.html#comment-form' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9200166845961795152/posts/default/8262128276382618995'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9200166845961795152/posts/default/8262128276382618995'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/2011/02/pulse.html' title='Pulse'/><author><name>Kristel TofuParty</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-E1tYXcNqlRM/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAIFA/BbumXjWbRkk/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200166845961795152.post-586737914211788330</id><published>2011-01-30T17:26:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-01-30T17:26:27.344+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tessa Hadley'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='book design'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='to read'/><title type='text'>The London Train</title><content type='html'>&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://images.bertrams.com/ProductImages/services/GetImage?Source=BERT&amp;amp;Quality=WEB&amp;amp;Component=FRONTCOVER&amp;amp;EAN13=9780224090971" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://images.bertrams.com/ProductImages/services/GetImage?Source=BERT&amp;amp;Quality=WEB&amp;amp;Component=FRONTCOVER&amp;amp;EAN13=9780224090971" width="121" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The London Train&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tessa Hadley&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"By far the most interesting feature of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/tessa-hadley" style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; color: #005689; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Tessa Hadley"&gt;Tessa Hadley&lt;/a&gt;'s carefully sculpted novel is the way she enters so completely into her characters' private worlds of thought and action.

De chaos is echter schijn, want de roman staat als een huis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dit geestige boek is een stilistische krachttoer waarin superieur met de grote voorbeelden uit de wereldliteratuur wordt gejongleerd"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;Bron: Piet de Moor in &lt;a href="http://knack.rnews.be/nl/actualiteit/nieuws/boeken/recensies-volwassenen/romans/e-t-a-hoffmann-leven-en-opvattingen-van-kater-murr/article-1194923112086.htm#"&gt;Knack&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"&gt;E.T.A.

And  you’ll find them here, in Oates’s attention to the claustrophobia of  small towns and families, the warping influences of class and sex, the  power and powerlessness of women, the persistent distrust of organized  religion and of American mythologizing. But Oates seems to take special,  even unusual, pains not to bend her subjects into her own narrative.  She is, instead, intensely focused on the books at hand, marking  highlights, supplying context, guiding the reader through passage after  passage. Her attention, even in a critic’s mode, is unfailingly  generous."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Bron: &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/18/books/review/Thomas-t.html?partner=rss&amp;amp;emc=rss"&gt;The New York Times &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9200166845961795152-6572689950560752043?l=leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/feeds/6572689950560752043/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/2010/08/in-rough-country.html#comment-form' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9200166845961795152/posts/default/6572689950560752043'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9200166845961795152/posts/default/6572689950560752043'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/2010/08/in-rough-country.html' title='IN ROUGH COUNTRY'/><author><name>Kristel TofuParty</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-E1tYXcNqlRM/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAIFA/BbumXjWbRkk/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200166845961795152.post-5514422813133776873</id><published>2010-07-24T13:02:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-09-10T17:58:28.263+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alberto Manguel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='boeken over boeken'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='to have'/><title type='text'>A Reader on Reading</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Books/Pix/covers/2010/4/27/1272374192521/A-Reader-on-Reading.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Books/Pix/covers/2010/4/27/1272374192521/A-Reader-on-Reading.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;A Reader on Reading&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;by       Alberto Manguel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;320pp,Yale&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" &lt;i&gt;Manguel might best be described not so much as a critic but rather as a  devotee of reading; one thinks of Susan Sontag, or of Clive James –  observers, admirers, enthusiasts.

These were men and women who believed, in William  Morris's words, that "No man is good enough to be another man's master",  and who shared a vision of the world as it might one day be – a  cooperative commonwealth rid of exploitation, oppression and conflict.&lt;br /&gt;The  main story, however, is of the penetration of these groups of often  naive utopians by the sinister functionaries of the secret state whose  job it was to protect the status quo: the policemen and spymasters who  lurked in the shadows seeding uncertainty and dissent, cultivating  tensions, beguiling with deceits, and luring credulous and  impressionable idealists into committing crimes they may never have  otherwise conceived."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bron: &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2010/mar/27/world-never-was-alex-butterworth"&gt;The Guardian&lt;/a&gt;,                 Saturday 27 March 2010, Stuart Christie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9200166845961795152-4697430549086223093?l=leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/feeds/4697430549086223093/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/2010/05/world-that-never-was.html#comment-form' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9200166845961795152/posts/default/4697430549086223093'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9200166845961795152/posts/default/4697430549086223093'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/2010/05/world-that-never-was.html' title='The World That Never Was'/><author><name>Kristel TofuParty</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-E1tYXcNqlRM/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAIFA/BbumXjWbRkk/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200166845961795152.post-7353680604876593524</id><published>2010-04-17T12:47:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-09-10T18:20:05.521+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Elif Batuman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='to read'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='russische literatuur'/><title type='text'>The Possessed - Adventures With Russian Books and the People Who Read Them</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.elifbatuman.com/Books/Images/ThePossessed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://www.elifbatuman.com/Books/Images/ThePossessed.jpg" width="133" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;“The Possessed” is a sui generis feast for the mind and the fancy, ants  and all.

Batuman’s exaltations of  Russian literature could have ended up in scholarly treatises gathering  dust in university stacks.

Davis’s 1971 novel, A Meaningful Life, is a blistering black comedy about the American quest for redemption through real estate and a gritty picture of New York City in collapse. Just out of college, Lowell Lake, the Western-born hero of Davis’s novel, heads to New York, where he plans to make it big as a writer. Instead he finds a job as a technical editor, at which he toils away while passion leaks out of his marriage to a nice Jewish girl. Then Lowell discovers a beautiful crumbling mansion in a crime-ridden section of Brooklyn, and against all advice, not to mention his wife’s will, sinks his every penny into buying it. He quits his job, moves in, and spends day and night on demolition and construction. At last he has a mission: he will dig up the lost history of his house; he will restore it to its past grandeur. He will make good on everything that’s gone wrong with his life, and he will even murder to do it." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Gelukkig voor ons werd dit boek na detig jaar terug heruitgebracht door NYRB Classics en nog wel met een voorwoord van Jonathan Lethem. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Hieronder vind je een &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEJLR8ND8NQ&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded"&gt;filmpje&lt;/a&gt; waarin Lethem het boek aanprijst.

Chris Cleave’s Little Bee is both. The front-flap description says the novel should not be summarized, because discovering the plot while you read is integral to the experience, so I will grant that request and keep mum on plot points. I am halfway through, and so I do not know if there is a Crying Game reveal awaiting me. I do know that I have stayed up way too late the past two nights marveling at Cleave’s ability to charm while narrating a series of horrific events set in England and Nigeria. Little Bee is a whole new kind of guilty pleasure.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9200166845961795152-27372296534923034?l=leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/feeds/27372296534923034/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/2009/06/little-bee-by-chris-cleave.html#comment-form' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9200166845961795152/posts/default/27372296534923034'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9200166845961795152/posts/default/27372296534923034'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/2009/06/little-bee-by-chris-cleave.html' title='Little Bee by Chris Cleave'/><author><name>Kristel TofuParty</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-E1tYXcNqlRM/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAIFA/BbumXjWbRkk/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200166845961795152.post-5770163798801496015</id><published>2009-04-26T12:02:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-24T14:40:42.526+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Thomas van Aalten'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mooie covers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='to read'/><title type='text'>De onderbreking</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.recensieweb.nl/images/bookcovers/9046804909.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left;

Via het trefwoorden- en boekhandelsregister vindt iedere liefhebber van nieuwe of antiquarische boeken wat hij zoekt: van Boekie Woekie tot Waterstone's en van Nou moe?! tot Vrolijk.Van alle winkels zijn de openingstijden, website en specialismen vermeld. Ook geeft auteur Hans van der Klis een korte typering van alle boekwinkels, hun geschiedenis en de eigenaars.

Enig voyeurisme is mij niet vreemd en ik verzamel dan ook gretig biografieën van schrijvers. Waar ik op zich dan weer niet genoeg tijd voor vind om ze ook allemaal te lezen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Het is mij hierbij niet te doen om de sappige details van iemands leven, maar om  het schrijversleven zelf.  Ik zit inderdaad nog steeds met een onrealistisch romantisch beeld van een schrijversleven.  De schrijver is voor mij iemand die iets te vertellen heeft.  En meestal vind ik dat ook uiterst interessant.  In de biografie hoop ik nog meer te horen van de schrijver, maw de de schrijver boeit mij als persoon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schrijft er dan iemand een boek over onconvenionele relaties/huwelijken  van schrijvers, tja, dan kan ik dat boek uiteraard weer niet weerstaan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Uncommon Arrangements: Seven Portraits of Married Life in London Literary Circles 1910-1939&lt;br /&gt;by Katy Roiphe&lt;br /&gt;352pp, Virago, £12.99&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://books.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,,2284309,00.html"&gt;http://books.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,,2284309,00.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9200166845961795152-6623041218021255499?l=leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/feeds/6623041218021255499/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/2008/06/boeiende-relaties.html#comment-form' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9200166845961795152/posts/default/6623041218021255499'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9200166845961795152/posts/default/6623041218021255499'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/2008/06/boeiende-relaties.html' title='Boeiende relaties'/><author><name>Kristel TofuParty</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-E1tYXcNqlRM/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAIFA/BbumXjWbRkk/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200166845961795152.post-1125924822717333934</id><published>2008-06-08T19:25:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2008-06-08T19:29:23.045+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Luc Sante'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='boeken'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lezen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bibliotheek'/><title type='text'>Het citaat: Luc Sante</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://s.wsj.net/public/resources/images/OB-BN765_santel_20080530204110.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://s.wsj.net/public/resources/images/OB-BN765_santel_20080530204110.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"If you allow yourself to really feel and absorb the style of a good writer, you will take in his or her vocabulary, frame of reference, sense of humor, and at least temporarily make it your own.

It's extremely short and caustic and hiccuppy funny and incredibly sad and very true and a metaphor for the Iraq war and the Bush regime and much more timeless than that and in the British version it is apparently coupled with In Persuasion Nation which starts with the funniest short story under the guise of a letter ever written.

En dit zijn de redenen waarom dit boek mij toen al opviel: het is een &lt;strong&gt;Toby Litt&lt;/strong&gt;. Het eerste boek dat ik ooit van hem las &lt;strong&gt;"Deadkidsongs"&lt;/strong&gt; sleurde mij al van de eerste pagina mee. Het is zo'n boek waar je helemaal inzit en waarvan je ook een beetje bang wordt. Je krijgt er een slecht voorgevoel van over wat er nog allemaal kan en misschien zal gebeuren en .... Echt dit is een boek dat je vroeg of laat wel eens moet lezen. Daarna kocht ik: &lt;strong&gt;"Finding myself&lt;/strong&gt;". Die vond ik iets minder. Mogelijk was de oorspronkelijke Engelse versie iets te hoog gegrepen voor mij. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;Maar de voornaamste reden waarom dit boek lonkte naar mij van tussen die massa anderen: in de titel en op de cover: EEN DRUM!  Geprikkeld nieuwsgieriger dan dit kon ik al niet meer worden. Toch wachtte ik liever wat recencies af. En vandaag kwam ik er dus eentje tegen. En nog wel geschreven door een andere engelse literaire held: &lt;strong&gt;David Mitchell&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.readysteadybook.com/BookReview.aspx?isbn=0241142822"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;http://www.readysteadybook.com/BookReview.aspx?isbn=0241142822&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;En hij vind hem nog fantastisch ook.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9200166845961795152-3877783719823918394?l=leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/feeds/3877783719823918394/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/2008/05/i-play-drums-in-band-called-okay-by.html#comment-form' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9200166845961795152/posts/default/3877783719823918394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9200166845961795152/posts/default/3877783719823918394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://leesverlangenlijst.blogspot.com/2008/05/i-play-drums-in-band-called-okay-by.html' title='I Play the Drums in a Band Called Okay by Toby Litt'/><author><name>Kristel TofuParty</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-E1tYXcNqlRM/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAIFA/BbumXjWbRkk/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200166845961795152.post-1672783899875016432</id><published>2008-05-14T21:38:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-14T21:50:05.149+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='book design'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='metafictie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nathaniel Rich'/><title type='text'>Een pracht van een cover</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://a330.g.akamai.net/7/330/2540/20080501190429/www.jckonline.com/articles/images/PWK/20080501/Mayor.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://a330.g.akamai.net/7/330/2540/20080501190429/www.jckonline.com/articles/images/PWK/20080501/Mayor.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://a330.g.akamai.net/7/330/2540/20080501190429/www.jckonline.com/articles/images/PWK/20080501/Mayor.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Voor de cover: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;WAUW!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Blijkt dit boek ook nog eens &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;metafictie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; te zijn.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;"&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;a meta-novel within itself; a book about books, a narrative following a narrative. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;In response to this recursivity, a small community of designers has begun designing covers for the protagonist, Constance Eakins, and his fictional fictions.
