Lol. I take it you don't like it?"


Very astute!

No, I didn't like it. Interesting concept, poor execution. Consider ... an roomful of DaVinci, symbology, art history, and puzzle experts shouldn't waste as much critical plot time as they did figuring out the first, extraordinarily simple, clue. So, yes, they lost me at chapter ... 2 or 3?

They cut that nonsense out of the movie, and the pacing was a lot better, and far more interesting.

But I still didn't like it.

I did like Angels and Demons, even though the premise manages to be even more absurd. I even liked The Lost Symbol, and nobody liked that ...

Aaron Thibeault (thebookreporter) | 109 comments Just finished reading 'The Social Conquest of Earth' by legendary biologist E.O. Wilson. The book charts the biological and cultural evolution of our species from the time we branched off from the chimps to the dawn of civilization. It was really excellent. I've published a full and comprehensive summary of the book at newbooksinbrief.wordpress.com if you are interested in this topic.

Cheers,
Aaron

Aaron Thibeault (thebookreporter) | 109 comments Just finished `Imagine: How Creativity Works` by Jonah Lehrer. The book explores creativity in individuals, groups, businesses & organizations, cities and societies. The work is heavy on anecdotes (as books by journalists tend to be) but also does a good job of covering the science of creativity that is emerging out of experiments and studies in neuroscience and social psychology. There is much to be learned about creativity here, and how we can get more of it in our personal lives and in the groups, organizations, cities and societies of which we are a part. I`ve written an executive-style summary of the book available at newbooksinbrief.wordpress.com

Cheers,
Aaron

I've seen mentions of this book around and about and had thought about reading it. Thanks for the excellent summary and analysis--gave me a much clearer sense of what's up with the book.

William Writer (10000lakestales) | 6 comments I would suggest Foster Fox, A 10,000 Lakes Tale.

This is a book for children and families and for the next few weeks, you and any member of the Goodreads community can download the E-Book for FREE!

This is an excellent opportunity for anyone that loves to read and for any book club that is seeking to discuss a new book.

This book read can be conducted by all the members of the group and be enjoyed for free and would inspire more members to participate in a group read as to there is no cost involved. No risk to anyone. I am new to the Goodreads community, but I believe that the suggested read should be sponsored by the author, and this gives all members the chance and the incentive to participate.

Aaron Thibeault (thebookreporter) | 109 comments Just finished reading the new book by Maria Konnikova called Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes. The author makes the case that Holmes brings the scientific method and scientific thinking to everyday life, and aims to help us do the same. It's self-help for the scientifically minded, and its backed up by the latest in psychological research. I've written a full executive summary of the book available here: http://newbooksinbrief.com/2013/01/28...

Cheers,
Aaron

Saul Weber (saulweber) | 12 comments THE ACCEPTANCE OF OTHERS

In my award winning children's book, "I Lesson My Cat Taught Me," Jennifer
learns the lesson of accepting others for who people are instead of what they
are. The book doesn't hit the child over the head with the lesson, nor does it
talk down to the child. While the book is an early reader and is geared to
children between the ages of 5 - 8, it is an enjoyable read by readers of any
age.

A Lesson My Cat Taught Me by Saul Weber

A Lesson My Cat Taught Me
Check the link on Amazon to see the virtual award presentation for the book.

It is also available on

So please check it out.

THANKS and have a BLESSED DAY

Edward | 4 comments Try 'Under the Volcano' by Malcolm Lowry, it is long forgotten classic that is superbly written with a tragic twist, especially when you discover the fate that befell its author.

Naynay | 5 comments Currently read First Night of Summer by Landon Parham
In a world where every second person is a self-proclaimed writer, myself included, it's easy to forget what makes a debut author stand out among all the other newly published books. It is because they have distinct talent and are good. Let me rephrase that, they are damn good and it sets them apart from the rest of the newbies. Landon Parham is a case at point. While this book may appear to be your run-of-the-mill thriller at first glance, it thoroughly disabuses you of that notion within just a few chapters. He moves the plot forward through a mixture of point-of-views, leaving you hanging on every last sentence waiting to see what will happen next. First Night of Summer is a sad, haunting tale about an ex military man, Isaac Snow and how he must find a way to protect what is left of his family before he loses everything to a dark and demented evil. Some violent parts can be difficult to read, but you will not be able to put it down. It is a fast-paced read with a strong plot driven story.
Check out the official book trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_FI2E...
Kindle, Nook, and ibook on sale for only 99 cents for a limited time.. I "liked" his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Landon..., and he is one of my new favorites. I can't wait to read his next! #1 NYT bestseller, Sandra Brown picked his debut book, First Night of Summer as her recommended read this year!

Avinash Tyagi | 1 comments Here are some book series I've recently read that I really loved (Mostly fantasy):

Lightbringer Saga by Brent Weeks
Demon Wars/Highwayman Saga by R.A. Salvatore
Demon Cycle by Peter Brett
Ghost Finders by Simon R. Green
Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson


I think anyone who picks up those series will find something to love

Anna | 3 comments Hello everyone!
Can you suggest me smth cyberpunk genre?


message 181: by Steven (new)

Steven Moore I'm between The Stolen Child (a touch of Eire) and Hard Way (like a Barry Eisler-style book in some ways). Both quite different, but I'm torn between them as something to read before an Irish fantasy (Court of Twilight by Mareth Griffith) I've signed up to review for Bookpleasures.com arrives.
Any suggestions? Yeah, I can get both books going at once (I'm often reading two or three at a time), but I don't think I'll finish both of them before Court of Twilight arrives.

message 182: by Toni (new)

Toni | 1 comments Hi readers!
I'm looking for books with a specific vibe. I hope to find stories centered around a sexually liberated female protagonist, someone undergoing a journey of emotional growth—a sort of sentimental education that also becomes a broader reflection on life, of self-discovery. I'm also very drawn to works (fiction or nonfiction) that aren't afraid to tackle complex and challenging questions. Things like: can you truly love more than one person at a time? Or what really matters in life, beyond society's expectations?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
