Five Stars

A+. Prompt delivery. Accurately described. Pleasurable experience.

Handy!

I have used this book for the past three years in all of my German classes. It covers everything you need to know about German grammar and has a lot of useful examples.

fine used book

this book helps, the only thing is, as described on the back cover, there should be one CD with it, but it is not, actually

Reference guide, not a textbook

Good reference for people who are at B1 or B2 level. Drawback: Every paragraph contains a very big number of new words and expressions that overwhelm you. There are not enough exercises and they do not include the translation of the whole sentences. You only have to rearrange the existing ones, fill the blank fields etc. As a result it is really hard to keep the rules and vocabulary in your memory and use them to create texts from scratch. Thus, this is more of a reference, not a real textbook you may use to learn to speak and write.

GREAT GREAT GREAT

Very in-depth and perfect for the advanced student! Covers information throoughly with plently of exercises to reinforce skills! Highly recommended!

Title: The Little Guide to Your Well-Read Life

Author: Steve Leveen

Narrator: Steve Leveen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-11-05

Publisher: Levenger Company

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 128 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts

Publisher's Summary:

This means knowing how to find the books that speak to your interests, passions, and desires. Being able to give up on a book with no guilt. Discovering the full power of audiobooks. And learning how to become an active reader: the athlete rather than the spectator.

The CEO and co-founder of Levenger, Steve was inspired to write this Little Guide to help repair what he calls his own ill-read life. What he learns, about reading groups, libraries, and even speed reading, may surprise you.

But perhaps the most important discovery is this: that a well-read life has little to do with how many or even which books you read. Rather, it has everything to do with a life well-lived.

Critic Reviews:

"Perfect for all of us who can never get enough time with good books. It not only urges us to indulge deeply and often, it shows us how." (Myra Hart, Professor, Harvard Business School)

"Readers and want-to-be readers will be encouraged by the advice to read more, more widely, and more systematically. And, as those readers gain confidence, they may read more adventurously. One can only be delighted that such a book is being published." (Michael Keller, University Librarian, Stanford University)

Members Reviews:

Get This Book!

Whether you are already in book love or not, everyone can gain from this little jewel. I got the book (on sale because I felt "why not?") more on a whim, but I have told more people about this book than about almost any other book I have "ristened" (I love that term!!) in years.

Yes, I have been doing many of the tips he offered, but he still confirmed that I was on the right track and gave me several additional new pointers. His narration was not the most exciting I have ever heard, but his section on whether or not an author should read his own work was right on. I would rather have heard his rather monotone voice than someone else who might "jazz it up" for the wrong reasons. But most important of all, I gained a new respect for the validation of not necessarily caring for the same books others do (the classics was a great example) and for not wasting time finishing a book that does not interest me.

Right on, Mr. Leveen! Thank you for this treasure. You know your craft well and I am glad to have been introduced to you.

worth a listen

I was hesitant to order a book on reading to listen to. Even after 6 years and an audible customer (march 1999), I still feel like I'm not really reading a book when I listen to it instead. And, I was mildly concerned that the author would dismiss audiobooks as somehow "cheating." But instead, he validated my choice to "Risten" to books as a worthwhile way to access books.

While most of the content is familiar territory, hearing it in a fresh context helped me get out of the scifi/fantasy rut and broaden my listening horizons.

Ehh...

A decent primer for anyone who reads little, but those who are already avid readers will already be doing most of what he suggests. The helpful section was the one on annotation. The rest was so-so.

A book about reading?

A person with a book is never without a friend.

I loved this book. It inspired me to look at my reading life in a whole different way. It had many great ideas for how to get the most out of your reading life.

Title: Building Bridges

Subtitle: Stephen King Live at the National Book Awards

Author: Stephen King

Narrator: Stephen King

Format: Original Recording

Length: 30 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-30-04

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 42 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts

Publisher's Summary:

King accepts the award with grace and wit. His acceptance speech is filled with loving thanks to his wife Tabitha and with a passionate appreciation of his craft. King reflects on bridging the gap between literary and popular writers as well as staying true to his work and to himself over the many years. He concludes his speech by saluting all the nominees and with his sincerest hope that "you'll find something to read that will fill you up as this evening has filled me up".

Members Reviews:

A Great View Into A Great Writer's Mind.

What made the experience of listening to Building Bridges the most enjoyable?

While not as in depth as "Writing: A Memoir of the Craft" that is my favorite King book, this award speech is a quick and great peek into King's life and writings.

What did you like best about this story?

His telling of how his writing has changed his and his family's lives.

Which scene was your favorite?

His crediting his wife for their success.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

"The Man Who Would Be KING".

Loved it.

Had a smile on my face during most of his talk. Stephens speech is less than thirty minutes. He talks of literary vs. popular writing. He also talks about his early years writing and his wife Tabitha.

In Defense of a Good Story

I just saw a piece by a 30-something blogger describing her 10 must-reads. With the exception of Anton Chekhov, I'd never heard of a single writer. Her friends have, though, because she buys books and literally (pun intended) forces them to read them. The Chekhov work she mentioned? He was prolific, and it was one of his lesser known short stories.

In the speech "Building Bridges" (2003) Stephen King points out the hypocrisy of the book snob who refuses to read popular writers like John Grisham, Clive Barker, and, of course, Mr. King himself. That's a willful ignorance of one's own culture, King argues, and nothing to be proud of. I agree and I'll go further: refusing to read a few pages, or listen to a few minutes of a book in a popular genre, is a self imposed book ban.

And let's compare King to Chekhov. King's published a lot more than Chekhov, but to be fair, Chekhov was a physician and he died of tuberculosis at 44. Both men explored different forms of writing, from short stories to novellas to full on novels. Chekhov was a gifted playwright with an eye for social criticism and an ear for dialect in plays like "The Cherry Orchard" (1904). King's written television scripts, like "Kingdom Hospital" (2004) and the truly horrifying-for a-parent "Storm of the Century" (1999). There are so many differences between the two writers, but there's one the literati might find surprising: Chekhov became a writer for the money, and King became a writer out of love.

"Building Bridges" is a neat, short listen.

Title: Art's Prospect

Subtitle: The Challenge of Tradition in an Age of Celebrity

Author: Roger Kimball

Narrator: Christopher Lane

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-02-04

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 32 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts

Publisher's Summary:

In this series of essays, Roger Kimball, managing editor of the New Criterion and an art critic for the London Spectator, examines the current art scene with a scathing intelligence and a crystalline eloquence of writing style. Particularly amusing are his dissections of art-show catalogspeak.

Members Reviews:

A wonderful eye opener

I found this audiobook to give me a very profound insight into art. There are lot of so-called object we call art these days. I love the statement that starting in the 60s everyone felt anyone can be an artist. Not everyone is an artist just like not everone can be jesus or budda. Artist have insights which elude most people. Its unfortunate that more poeple don't speak up againest all the trash we are shown as art these days. Roger Kimball is brave and I wish him the best.Great book.

Painters, writers and critics should read it.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, but only to profesionals. Not a light reading.

What other book might you compare Art's Prospect to and why?

A Painted House, Thomas Wolff. This is of course is a drier form, maybe more serious and laking the sence of humor Wolff delights us

Even so, for a professional painter, its really a fantastic book

Which scene was your favorite?

When he says that the person who unvoluntary clanes up the mess leaved by Damien Hirst must be the best curator ever

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Hearing about Diebenkorn, he was my teacher long long time ago in California .

I am chilean, and it was my luck to be in the riht place at the right moment

Any additional comments?

For a book that is directed not for a massive public, this is really a delight from beginning to end

Confounded or bored by the contemporary art world?

What did you love best about Art's Prospect?

Then this book is for you. It is a great counterpoint to the hollow, commercial contemporary art world.

Painful

Kimball has so many complaints about how art is viewed, funded, curated, created and enjoyed...in his case, not enjoyed. His bold audacious opinions are laughable at times, but this is by no means a comedy. The first book from Audible I have purchased that I can say was truly a mistake and waste.

Yawn, yawn.

In the spirit of "these kids today" and "back in the good ole days," Kimball comes off as an crabby intellectual lightweight who offers no new or interesting insight into art. He offers such brilliant insight as, artist Mona Hatoum only got a job because of affirmative action and sociology is an intellectual slum. He offers the sort of criticism that presents itself as common sense and realist, but history inevitably shows to be laughably naive and off the mark. Although, a high point is a chapter attacking the foolishness of Ayn Rand and her followers, which should always be praised. It may be hard to navigate the anything goes world of art today, but Kimball really offers nothing to help us understand how to approach art today. There is no real investigation into the connections between art and other disciplines or social factors which are vital to art today.

Critic Reviews:

"An astonishing union of technology and art." (Christian Science Monitor)

"Magisterial, meticulously researched, and handsomely illustrated." (O, The Oprah Magazine)

"Judith Dupré has written about One World Trade Center in the most readable way, with sensitivity, scholarship, superb photography, and wide interviews with those of us involved in this long-evolving project. She has achieved what many thought was impossible-a book that is both popular and scholarly, and the one account that is comprehensive and accurate." (David Childs, Design Partner, Skidmore, Owings & and Merrill)

Members Reviews:

An enlightening look into the evolution of One World Trade Center

One World Trade Center is compelling biography on so many levels. Beyond the discussion of the challenges and complications surrounding this significant project, Dupré also provides behind-the-scenes glimpses into the astounding collaboration that made the construction of One World Trade Center possible. An inspiring and insightful perspective blended with a visually stunning compilation of photographs and illustrations.

Without fail, I gain a new appreciation for World Trade Center every time I glance downtown. Thank you.
