A very good book about meta-photography. Would be good to exist more like this one. Not only for photographers but is nice to read and makes you think.
Diferite articole despre lumea fotografiei, unele foarte interesante iar altele pentru mine mai putin interesante sau chiar deranjante, de fapt doar cel despre fotografia copiilor morti m-a facut sa ma intreb de ce era necesar.
Very interesting
to find out so many cool things about what happens in lower leagues, I only would have wanted a few more details on some of the destinies
“A worthy younger sibling to Orwell's 1984, Cory Doctorow's LITTLE BROTHER is lively, precocious, and most importantly, a little scary.”
Brian K Vaughn, author of Y: The Last Man
So, very nice to read and a wake up call to all cosy ppl like me or you.
Read this shit!!!
And Homeland 2!
And now we wait
This book is the opposite of boring, the opposite of dull. But is over and now must wait for the next.
Phenomenal, best sports book I ever read, and I think is so because is not only about sports but about everything else around it, from small to large.
Hard to have a comic also giving you a little katharsis but this one does. It did, to me.
super 1
not only for football fans although I think any of those should read it!
it is more than a season along a football team, it is about a community, and not the regular one
a must read
Is categorized as young adult novel type but is for sure for adults and for some of the youngest ones also, some parts might be not so easy to follow, economical stuff talk for example.
But is very nice to read and the subject(s) of it is/are painfully actual.
Initially the simple prose made me think I will get bored but really was far from it.
Wow
Didn't expect this. And I loved the other books!!So well written with attention to the essentials. Happy to move to second part
Caution: it does contains a spoiler. Nice word caution.
... and this is the spoiler: I saw it coming since the travel woman buddy (Sylvia) was saying that made her sad seeing the sadness on the faces of travelers, people going to work.
But I immediately thought that you are sad with what you do if you have no passion for that, no appetence for it. And that sucks. :)
Besides that the book brought back memories, I did finished philosophy myself and of course I used to read stuff and was also mesmerized by the flow of Kant's critique.
I liked logic, I become a programmer, but I was always also attracted towards what in the book is called the romantic way :) Still relatively recently I discovered that life worth's living if you have passion for it, for the activities and people in it. Well not quite true, recently in terms of a long life I adopted it. So anyway this book came right on time for me and besides the message it is mostly enjoyable to read. I don't know that if you are not familiar at all with some of the thinking systems presented how easy is to follow though... And then maybe is also a bit to much explained, could have been shorter, to the point, but that is my own opinion.
Regarding the Quality metaphysics I donno like with all of them it is a bit weird for me to connect the reality with it, meaning concepts that make possible existence...
Only validity that I can see and agree is that quality is in the act of doing something if the person is passionate about it and then also the result of a quality work can or can not have quality.
He is saying: “The very existence of subject and object themselves is deduced from the Quality event. “
Maybe I do not understand it but the thought of quality existing before anything I cannot perceive.
Also I think that even if we do perceive something as possessing quality even if we do not quite can explain it and quantify it I can say that in different cultures the perception would not ...happened.
I donno, as I said the good thing about the book for me was that I enjoyed the cycles trip and the mood of the book and also the idea that people should actually open their eyes and do what they are passionate about it in life but also activities that maybe not fit well with their style (romantic or classic :D) should not be perceived as such because done with distaste will only lead to sloppy stuff and moods ;)
What I appreciate at Gene is the magic of his sentences,
I think, since Kafka, I was not so impressed with just that!
Very pleasant to read but (even) more sad than previous ones :)
I am not so sure why I give “only” 4 starts, I guess is because of the long start of it, I didn't like that much the first 1/4 - 1/3 of it
