Bedava Gergedan
by Orhan Cem Çetin
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.33

“Bedava Gergedan’ı hep “baştan sona, sondan başa, ya da ortadan iki yana doğru okunabilecek bir kitap” olarak düşündüm. Bir derleme gibi görünüyor Bedava Gergedan.Farklı tarihlerde, farklı mecralarda görülmüş, parça parça, adeta bütünlükten yoksun malzemeler. Ama, hayır; eğer Bedava Gergedan için bunları söyleyebilirsek, aynılarını hayat için de söylememiz gerekir. Oysa bu kitabın içindeki her şey aynı hayata, aynı kişiye dair. Kitabı oluşturan bin bir parça bugüne dek farklı zamanlarda, farklı koordinatlarda görülmüş olsalar da, onlar her zaman aynı kafanın içinde, yan yana ve daima Bedava Gergedan başlığının altında idiler. Hâlâ da öyleler.Okuyucusu kim Bedava Gergedan’ın?Mesela, buraya kadar ulaşabildiğinize göre siz. Yani meraklı kişiler. Hayatın mânâsını, acı ve hazzın kaynağını, insan aklının ve akılsızlığının, bilincin ve bilinç dışının sınırlarını merak edenler. En çok da galiba bana benzeyen kişiler. Benim gibi orta sınıf, orta yaşlı, orta gelir düzeyine sahip, kullandığı birçok eşyaya taksitleri bitmediği için hala sahip olamamış, ilişkilerinde beceriksizlikler yaşayan, hayatı yavanlaşmış ama en azından bunu şikayet konusu yapan, büyük bir kentte yaşamaktan hem nefret edip hem de o kentin bağımlısı olduğunu bal gibi bilen, evini sığınak haline getiren ama TV’den korunmayı başaramayan, hayatı irili ufaklı tuşlar ve ekranlarla kuşatılmış yorgun insanların kitabı Bedava Gergedan.Bu kitabı okuduklarında/seyrettiklerinde meraklarını ve yorgunluklarını giderebilecekler mi peki? Hayır, hiç sanmıyorum; ama yine de denemeye değer!”ORHAN CEM ÇETİN

Yama: The Hell-hole
by Aleksandr Kuprin
Genres: Classics, Russia, Russian Literature, Fiction, Literature, Erotica, Classic Literature
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.37

With an insight and compassion reminiscent of the great French masters of literature, Alexander Kuprin probes the sin-ridden lives of the inmates of Yama. The result is a daring, world-famous classic which runs the gamut of human emotions from the heart-wrenching sacrifice of an afflicted prostitute to the wanton desires of the most degraded man.This book will shock you into an awareness of a great social evil. It will also arouse your deepest sympathy for the plight of those unfortunate women who are the victims of our most eternal vice!"Yama, The Hell-Hole" is unique. Other writers have taken prostitutes for their characters. Kuprin has taken the evil of prostitution itself. Although he writes of a brothel in a Russian city, his moral is not limited to a time and a place. Change rubles to dollars, move from Yama to the Chicago slums--Kuprin's ever-honest, ever-brilliant picture of the ancient business of selling women's bodies for profit still holds its universal meaning.When the book was first published, the Russian censorship mutilated it beyond recognition. Kuprin was the object of a scurrilous attack in the press; he was called a corrupter of youth. His book was denounced as pornography. Few could face the bitter truth of what he had written. Some touching letters from professional prostitutes were the author's first recognition that he had accurately described the hell in which these tormented women existed. Today nearly three million copies have been sold in more than fifteen different languages, and it is a foregone conclusion that "Yama" will live forever among the world's great books.
Parenting Your Child Leader: Strategies for Helping Your Child Achieve their Leadership Potential
by Darryl Bodkin
Genres: Parenting
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.50

p>Darryl Bodkin has written a wonderful treatise on child development and leadership. He writes from a child's perspective on parenting and provides invaluable insight on the subject of leadership growth and development. When I was 11 years of age, my life was torn apart by the loss of my father in a tragic construction accident. It was a defining moment for me. Fortunately, my godly grandmother sat down with me and told me that I had to be the leader in our home since I was the oldest child. From that moment leadership was thrust upon me. Reading this book has caused me to reflect on that landmark day in my own childhood when I started on a leadership journey. I commend Darryl Bodkin's book to you for your enjoyment and personal growth. I believe every parent who reads it will benefit from the lessons taught on parenting and will gain an understanding of how to encourage the development of leadership qualities in children. Proverbs 3:5-6 is a sterling reminder of the potential for vital Christian leadership within every child that is born into God's big world. Dr. Stan A.

Without (Without, #1)
by E.E. Borton
Genres: Post Apocalyptic, Apocalyptic, Science Fiction, Fiction, Dystopia, Amazon, Adventure
Average rating on Goodreads: 3.90

The apocalypse came as a whisper.  Mother Nature had been sending signs for three years, but most didn’t pay attention until she pulled the plug on everything. Nobody will forget where they were and what they were doing at 8:13 on that morning. They’re all still waiting for 8:14. Well, at least the ones that have made it so far.  He was stuck in Atlanta traffic, making his way to work, when the world fell silent. His car, his radio, his phone, his watch, anything that needed a spark, a battery, or an outlet died. The silence didn’t last long and neither did she. He didn’t know if the yellow sundress was the first to die, but he does know that she wasn’t the last. Not even close.  As aircraft fell out of the sky, panicked drivers lost control in the fast lane, and pace makers stopped keeping their rhythms, he got out of his car and popped the trunk. Most didn’t pay attention, but he did. And he knew what was coming.  Three years earlier during the first city-wide blackout in Atlanta, he lost his Samantha to cowards who were never caught. Those looking to take advantage didn’t hesitate, wreaking havoc at every opportunity. It took less than an hour after the event for society to start its disintegration.  He made a promise to himself never to feel that helpless again. He wasn’t a soldier or a cop, but he was one of the few that did have a plan. Get out of the city, get away from people, and don’t hesitate.  May God have mercy on their souls, because he won’t.

Queen of Deception
by Trine Villemann
Average rating on Goodreads: 3.44

Queen of Deception is the first novel by Danish royal author Trine Villemann. It’s a scandalous tale which focuses on the death bed regrets of the Queen of a small anonymous northern European kingdom, as well as the self destructive escapades of the country’s Crown Prince Franz. Queen of Deception offers an unedifying glimpse of life behind the Palace walls, where the cancer stricken monarch, a victim of the most horrifying cruelty, has sacrificed her own happiness in order to fulfill her royal duty. Prince Franz is determined not to follow in his mother’s footsteps.Sensitive and weak Franz is a reluctant heir to the throne. After a miserable childhood, living in fear of his strict and violent father, Duke Alfonso, and ignored by his cold mother, Franz fights tooth and nail to avoid his royal responsibilities. He seeks solace in alcohol, drugs and casual sex, and alarms his minders by surrounding himself with a sometimes criminal entourage. Franz falls in love with a nurse, but his desire to marry her is thwarted by the Palace and he ends up succcumbing to a highly ambitious foreign commoner called Vicki. In her final days, the Queen realises that the web of deception she has spun is about to undermine the very institution that she has sacrificed everything to protect.Trine Villemann has earned a reputation as a controversial critic of Denmark’s Royal Family. Her first book, 1015 Copenhagen K, which exposed Crown Princess Mary’s in-laws as being a family of dysfunctional freeloaders, was a best seller in Denmark. Her second book, the King and Queen of Greenland, argued that Crown Prince Frederik and his Australian wife should go on an apprenticeship to Greenland so that they could prepare for the day when they would inherit the throne from Denmark’s Queen Margrethe. When Queen of Deception was first published in Danish in February 2012, it was critically well received, as “a rivetting and entertaining read.”--
