Catherine Rideau-Kikuchi a terminé la lecture de The Man in the High Castle par Philip K. Dick
The Man in the High Castle is an alternate history novel by American writer Philip …
Définitivement bien plus fin que la série (pour ce que j'en ai vu). Un roman noir / roman d'espionnage d'uchronie, qui suggère bien plus qu'il ne dit. Bref, il faut que je lise davantage de Philip K. Dick !

La série Amazon m'ayant beaucoup agacée, je me suis dit que j'allais revenir aux sources...

Je crois que Mrs. Dalloway fait partie de ces livres qui nécessitent un temps de latence avant de lire un autre roman...

"That's what I do it for", she said, speaking aloud, to life. [..]. "Yes, yes, but your parties - what's the sense of your parties?", all she could say was (and nobody could be expected to understand): They're an offering. [..]. But could any man understand what she meant either? About life? She could not imagine Peter or Richard taking the trouble to give a party for no reason whatever. But to go deeper, beneath what people said (and these judgements, how superficial, how fragmentary they are!) in her own mind now, what did it mean to her, this thing called life? Oh, it was very queer. Here was So-and-so in South Kensington; someone up in Bayswater; and somebody else, say, in Mayfair. and she felt quite continuously a sense of their existence; and she felt what a waste; and she felt what a pity; and she felt if only …

And it was an offering; to combine: to create; but to whom? An offering for the sake of the offering, perhaps. Anyhow, it was her gift.
Catherine Rideau-Kikuchi a terminé la lecture de Harald à la Dent bleue par Lucie Malbos
Un très beau livre, qui à partir d'un faisceau ténu d'indices (chroniques, pierres runiques, sites archéologiques) raconte l'histoire de Harald à la dent bleue. Guerrier puis roi, converti au christianisme, grand bâtisseur et conquérant, il a sans doute été le promoteur d'un pouvoir royal fort, attentif à sa mémoire et à sa place dans le jeu diplomatique européen. Sa postérité aujourd'hui est contrastée, mais tout le monde connaît le symbole runique qui lui est associé, celui du Bluetooth ! A recommander à tout le monde : ce livre est vraiment très bien écrit, très enlevé, et permet de parcourir mers et terres dans le Danemark du Xe siècle.

Ben les Malaussène, c'est terminé... Et si le tome 1 m'avait moins convaincue, le tome 2 est une belle apothéose !

Eh ben c'était super. Et je découvre un haut Moyen Âge irlandais sur lequel je ne connais vraiment rien, c'est assez dépaysant...
