thanks sepid that was a pretty good story{but that was a bit hard} .... tell your idea about it ... why you felt it's impressive?

[Antonio Andolini]

I finished a famous book by Gabriel Garcia Marquez by name Cien anos de soledad(One Hundred Years of Solitude)
That was a very good book
the story was about a big family by name Boendia who lived in a city named Mocondo ... the city and civilizations were very happy and everything were good .. without police without religion but as politic came to the city, peace left Mocondo
the story was a bit long and there are a lot of people in the story with almost same names .. but among them Orelianos and Arkadeos were opposite of each other ... with a exception that a day Arkadeo Segondo saw a execution and he became an oreliano and Orelinao Segondo saw a beautiful girl and became Arkadeo
during reading this story two things became sticky in my mind .. the thing that Jose Arkadeo Boendia {The father of the family} said before his death , Everything is same every day so why today is monday and tomorrow is tuesday?
and the dialouge between Oreliano Boendia and Grinledo Marquez:
My old Friend, why you involved your-self with the war?"said Oreliano
"what reason can it have?.. for The Liberal"said Gerinledo
-good,you know the reason of your fighting .. but,I've recently understood I fight for pride and that makes me upset
-That's too bad
Orliano became surprised because of Grerinledo's reply and said :"but that's better than don't know why we fight! .. or like you, fighting for something that's meaningless to the people"
I enjoyed this book
My rate: 10/10

thanks sepid that was a pretty good story{but that was a bit hard} .... tell your idea about it ... why you felt it's impressive?

ya, that is a bit hard
Anyway, it was impressive in my idea bcuz it was saying that nowadays people dun care who you are, dun care what yr problem is n they just n just care about themselves. Humanbeing has forgotten the word Sympathy. We all need someone to share our ideas with, to share our problems with but the man in the story had nobody to talk with n at last it was his horse who listened to him and sympathied with him!!!l
Isn't it impressive? Who are we?! really...l

The Holographic Universe
By Michael Talbot
Translated by Darioush Mehrjoee



It was a book which described the universe in the aspect of unusual and metaphysical events based on some scientific phenomenon
In this book you see some stories about unusual events and author wanted to say the best model to describe and explain these events is Holograph ... which means these phenomenons are because of our mind and the structure of our mind is similar to a Holograph too
It wasn't a bad book but it wasn't as good as I expected because it didn't investigate structure of Holograph universe deeply ...... and I expected that the author would investigate the holograph univrse in aspect of Cosmology too .... and the other bad thing was some boring stories ... the book has a lot of unusual stories about traveling in time or see our near friends that were dead and some old miracles
But the good points were about investigation about NDE{Near-Death exprience} and some researches about how to travel to other worlds and it has some interesting things about this ..
In the first Chapter author talked abour holograoh in aspect of science and it was interesting and I rate to this chapter 9/10 and in the Chapter 2 it talks about stories and also psychology .. Stories were boring but the part about psychology was so interesting especially when the author talked about chinese skill in healing sick(TEBBE SOZANI} and I rate to this chapter 7/10 ...and in the Chapter 3 the author talked about how to describe the universe as a hologram and it was interesting too and I rate it 8.5/10
I rate to this book 7.5/10 {Good}
The book had plenty of quotes so it confused me a little
and the most interesting thing I got from this was that people who could see some part of the other world were from different part of world with different ideas and cultures .. but majority of them was Indians{Budda} ... and they saw same thing!!!!

I really feel bad, seeing this topic down, it doesn't mean that u guys dun read book?hmm...read a bit plz...woterev you fancy just readl
well, I just finished a book named 'the chamber', the story was about a man named Sam who was sentenced to death for planting bombs in Kramer which killed two children...Sam was not found Guilty first but after a couple of yrs when all the judges had been changed, he found guilty and he was about to death by Gas Chamber; Adam who was sam's grandson n who had recently known Sam as his grandpa came to his help n ...l




Although I'm mostly fond of Romance stories this one was great
I liked it when Sam felt sorry for whatever he had done
I liked it when a priest comes and says that death penalty is not what Jesus has said, it is forgiveness that he tought us
I liked the end of the story, it somehow remembered me the movie 'Dancer in the dark'...
read it if you had free time
I can't claim that was a fabulous story since I have not read crime stories so much so I can't be a good judge but I liked the words
----
The story is written by John Grisham, the movie has also been made
here is the imdb link:

Oh my god
a lot of dusts is dancing here . i'm gonna clean them because the News says that a new huge community of dusts is coming tomorrow . you should help me clean them ...Because I should go and do my homework (.. I don't know why when the conversation is about cleaning home and these kinds of matters I remember I should do my homework)
I've recently finished one half of persian literature's masterpiece Mantegh Alteyr
I cannot speak about it or better to say I don't see myself in the place that I say whether that was good or not!
that was a very beautiful story about a group of birds who are looking for their lord Simorgh and during the trip many of them brings excuse to abandon the other birds but one of the bird who is the true lover(Kabk) brings shame for them by the beautiful love stories which he/she tells for them and says that in this trip to your lord you should abandon everything and accept the hardships of the trip
the main idea of the book is the story which kabk tells for them
here is some of their best in my point of view

گفت کاین هردو جهان بالا و پست
قطره ای آب است نه نیست و نه هست

گشت از اول قطره ای آب آشکار
قطره ای آب است با چندین نگار

هر نگاری کان بود بر روی آّب
گر همه ز آهن بود گردد خراب

هیچ چیزی نیست ز آهن سخت تر
هم بنابر آب دارد، در نگر

هرچه را بنیاد بر آبی بود
گر همه آتش بود،خوابی بود

کس ندیده است آب هرگز پایدار
کی بود بر آب،بنیاد استوار؟

یافت مردی گورکن عمری دراز
سایلی گفتش که چیزی گوی باز

تا چو عمری گور کندی در مغاک
چه عجایب دیده ای در زیر خاک؟

گور کن گفت: زین عجیب تر ندیدم که هفتاد سال گور کندم و هر دم مرگ کسان دیدم، لیکن یکدم از فرمان نفس سرنپیچیدم و جز فرمان او نبردم

I hope Archi will forgive me for writing Farsi .. Becasue I found the translation of these poets too hard


Thanks

impossible coincidence ... I was reading the the 6th volume of "Ghessehay-e Khoob baray-e Bachehay-e Khoob" which is based on Attar works too... (actually some of them from the same book you're reading)


I was motivated by the death of its author, Mehdi AzarYazdi
Rest in peace
