Do you have a favorite author? What his book you recommend to read?
"Favorite Writer" for me lately too strange and abstract category: it is like there, and like it or not. Sometimes I say that this is John Grisham, sometimes that John Green, a couple of times on the podium got Updike (I think I definitely have a favorite name among the writers - John!)
But with favorite books in these companions things easier "The Pelican Brief», «The Fault in Our stars"And"The witches of Eastwick"Respectively.
In "Case The Pelican Brief" chapter by chapter, we observe the student at the law school, which is not the most serendipitously finds herself embroiled in a bloody struggle that ensued between those who tends to big money and those who are more willing to defend against environmental catastrophes of our planet.
Many secrets and twists and truly penetrating the heroine make love story both on paper and in the film adaptation of the famous Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington.
Popular filming with the star cast of can be seen in the bank Updike. "The Witches of Eastwick," about how life in three girls gets a very unusual man. Well, what happens next - already a big, big secret! :)
But "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green stands on my list of favorite works alone. Exploded 7 years ago, the book market is young-adult-novel, and to this day is one of the standards of the western adolescent literature.
History of Green about two cancer patients children setting a new direction in American literature, she won the hearts of millions and caused many to cry nights, worrying about heroes.
With a book from childhood you have associated with the most fond memories?
«The Wizard of Oz"Definitely! Not a month goes by in my head did not start again flashed pictures of the children's evenings when bedtime we younger sisters (at the time there were two) sat around and listened to my mother about the new adventures of favorite heroes.
What book are you re-read often and with pleasure?
"Canterbury Tales" by Chaucer was perhaps my favorite piece at all times and occasions after Amy Farah Fowler quoted some lines from there to the "theory of large explosion. " Handbook, nothing else!
I still remember how on the instructions of Bernadette, Amy had to tell a dirty story, and "History of the miller" from the collection of short stories was exactly this for her.
So was the handsome young Absolon
In his molestation put to shame:
In the darkness, he kissed her "eye"
And Nicholas prizhog ass.
You avoid such a fate I wish
And with God's help I finish the story.
Of course, not all parts of the work of the XIV century look like they escaped from a new book by E. L. James, but the essence of the 22 described in the "Canterbury tales"Stories above quotation conveys little.
From Chaucer, we learn about the life of practically all layers of medieval English society, and on each page I want to again and again!
What inspired you to book some action?
The first year of university, I came to the reader in a very lost condition, because the school has beaten off any desire to handle anything with lots of letters. But after the recommendation of the teacher on cultural read "Flemish board"Once again began to consume one piece after another.
Here it is definitely inspired me the most important in my life action - read, read and read again!
This novel by Arturo Perez-Reverte captures the very first pages and tells us detective storyWhich with the help of hidden messages through time binds the protagonists with the murder that took place in the XV century.
Putting their life in danger, the characters step by step, trying to uncover the mysterious crime and is actively connected to the process of the reader.
What book be sure to read each person and why?
Traffic Laws! And then our world will definitely be a little more balanced and safe.
Which book has been helpful to you professionally? Why?
I study at the Faculty of Psychology, and I are very interesting questions of psychological support an aging population. Therefore, as a professional I am very inspired work Atul Gawande "We are all mortal».
This is a book about aging and related "industry" in the United States. About how people and, in particular, doctors perceive this physiological process. Read on and you start somehow even easier and safer to treat the subject.
What is a good book you read on the advice of another person?
Second favorite for the past year for me was the book Kristin Hannah "With private life». She came into my hands quite by accident: I was offered to prepare a brief review of the literary portal. And as a result of this work it has become one of the best that I've read in the past, if not 10, then 5 years for sure.
This is a touching, deep, cruel and tearing your soul apart a family drama.
On the pages of his new book, Christine Hanna describes the different stages of life heroine named Leni: teen age, heavy relationship with his father, just returned from the Vietnam War, the move to a remote area Alaska the first love and the first losses.
Laziness, and with it, and the reader gets into the vortex of events, which at times are too difficult to handle. And it's definitely a story that few people indifferent.
What do you prefer: paper, electronic, audio books? Do use special applications for reading?
Now successfully combine all formats! Paper - love at all times, electronically read books on the MyBook, Bookmate, textbooks in the iBooks, and sometimes listen to the audio in the car or just a background, as a kind of podcast. The audio format of the book is most often listen to English, to tighten language level.
Do you make a note if quotes are preserved, whether write reviews?
Notes and quotes, while preserving, most still lose and not so actively going back to them. A feedback prefer to slander herself in the notes or to take full review for your channel on YouTube.
