The 30 best novels of the last 30 years
THE Times Mark his 30th book festival by organizing a list of The 30 best fiction books of the last 30 years“Crossing an investigation with authors, publishers, criticisms, academics and other experts in the field.” Ambitious is the word used to describe the 30th book classified on the list (Atlas Cloud by David Mitchell), and this adjective can be used to describe most of the books on this list, in particular the book in n ° 1, which is 2666 Roberto Bolaño. I saw 2666 On so many lists of books of great and although I am certainly not in mood to read on the number of mass of “brutally murdered women”, it is not necessary an extent of the imagination to understand why it is on all these lists. It is long, stunning, and, according to all, seems to accomplish what it aims to do, which is a difficult feat when you have so many scenarios. I guess what I say is that there are no big surprises here. The most commercial book on the list is Hunger games By Suzanne Collins, recommended by Marie Lu, but global encouragement is the literary fiction of very.
In case you are more a non -fictional girly
Yesterday I shared on the Times list of 30 best fiction books from the past 30 yearsAnd today we take a look at their correspondence list of Best non-fiction readings. I have read much more fiction than non-fiction, so I was initially surprised by the number of these books that I read, but it came to my mind that the non-fiction books that I take have tend to be strongly verified specifically because it takes more to get involved with real stories. The books on this list were extremely popular and / or great critical successes, winning prices on the left and right, when they hit the shelves and their meaning continues. I mean, David Sedaris is one of our great living satirists and he felt that everyone was reading I’m talking pretty one day (# 30 on the list) during its publication. We have another living legend – this period of fiction and the editorial staff of non -fiction – award -winning author Jesmyn Ward whose powerful and deep memories, The men we have collectedplaced 13th. At the top of the list, Isabel Wilkerson beat Joan Didion for 1st place with The heat of other suns: the epic history of the great American migrationwhat I Really Need to read because a story expertise of a huge movement is not something to pass, even if you are more a fiction girly.

The Supreme Court considers the themes LGBTQ +
If you heard a deep sigh in the distance, it was me. My kingdom for a world where to recognize the diversity of identities that exist all around us is not controversial; where children read on A puppy that is lost in a pride festival or a Trans Kid who wins a karate competition is not encountered with just indignation and a creaky of the teeth. An association of parents and teachers under the children of children’s nicknames (the names of name these groups is something else, but I get lost) continues the largest school system in Maryland to allow them to opt for students from days when books with characters and queer themes are discussed. They argue that books violate their right to the free exercise of religion under the first amendment. A member of Kids first decided that she should help find a private school that “was not washing children’s brains with these ideas”. This person apparently does not know what brainwashes is because the incorporation of books on LGBTQ + people in a broader study program is it. People are looking at this affair and have real concerns about the implications of a vote in favor of children first. “Some legal researchers have declared that the acceptance of the logic of the arguments of Maryland’s parents would have general consequences on the ability of public schools to manage their programs, quoting cases in which parents have challenged courses on the evolution and theory of Big Bang and books on Wizards and Giants”, ” Adam Liptak writes in the New York Times piece (It brings me back to season 4, episode 16 of Abbott ElementaryBut I get lost).

The general entry is $ 399who honestly eliminated me. This allows you to admission for a single day – Saturday. When I think that the “book festival”, my mind goes to the Los Angeles Books Festival, where I may have paid a few dollars for a registration in advance in certain panels to make sure I have a seat. I was not in the minds of prices at Coachella level. The general entry includes food, drinks and gift items organized in addition to programming, so obviously it is not open to the public, food trolleys wherever my brain jumped. VIP admission costs $ 699 for the eyes and gives you the additional day and exclusive events. The event is in a month and there are not many programming details … I don’t know, all of you – I’m a little perplexed by everything, but maybe reading with Jenna’s army will arise and come out.
