Čitam dok vani sniježi...I read while it's snowing outside

Završila sam s čitanjem "Družbe Isusove" (Šotola), "Zvijezde Babilona" (Wood) i "Kodeksa" (Grossman)..da, da...čitam uvijek nekoliko knjiga odjednom :)

I finished reading "Society of Jesuits" (Šotola), "Stars of Babylon"(Wood) and "Codex "(Grossman) .. yes, yes ... I always reading several books at once:)

Prva knjiga je bila relativno zanimljiva, povijesni roman, ali primjenjiv na suvremeni svijet. Ipak, ne bih je čitala ponovo. Druga - unatoč više no zanimljivoj temi - propast aleksandrijske knjižnice, bijeg knjižničara s onim što su uspjeli spasiti...skok u današnji svijet, mlada arheologinja kojoj umirući profesor daje zadatak da nađe Zvijezdu Babilona (uz pomoć zgodnog profesorova sina - policajca :))...potraga...Aleksandrijci, tajnija sekta od templara...njihov cilj i opstanak kroz stoljeća...zločini... - zapravo je puka zabava za dokone trenutke kad ne želimo zaposliti mozak. No, treća knjiga...Kodeks...

"Kodeks Leva Grossmana uzbudljiv je i inteligentan, iako ponešto izmješten i neobičan suvremeni triler. Naizgled eruditski i hermetičan zaplet izgrađen oko potrage za tajnovitim srednjovjekovnim rukopisom slabo poznatog Chaucerovog suvremenika pretvara se, u najboljoj Ecovskoj maniri, u napetu i razgranatu priču u kojoj se susreću svjetovi visoke i niske, drevne i moderne, pismene i virtualne kulture."

Čitajući "Kodeks" saznat ćete kako funkcioniraju poznate, velike knjižnice koje dobivaju vrijedne donacije, kako je složeno proučavanje srednjovjekovne književnosti, što su uskršnja jaja u aplikacijama koje pišu programeri, koje su engleske titule i njihova hijerarhija, od čega su se izrađivali kodeksi, kako se doživljavalo autorsko vlasništvo u srednjem vijeku, kako se skrivaju stranice pergamenta, što je steganogram, metoda littera textura (istkane riječi), palimpsest itd. itd. :)

The first book was relatively interesting, historical novel, but is applicable to the contemporary world. However, I wold not read that book again. The second - despite more than an interesting topic: destruction of the Alexandrian librarie, librarians escape with what they managed to save ... jump in today's world, a young archaeologist and the dying professor who gives her a task to find the Star of Babylon (with his handsome son - a police officer:)) ... search... Alexandrians, secret society... and their target, survival through the centuries ... crimes ... - It is actually a mere fun for idle moments when you do not want to employ the brain. However, the third book - Codex ... ...
"Lev Grossman's Codex is an exciting and intelligent, although somewhat removed and unusual contemporary thriller. Intellectual and hermetic built around the search for the mysterious medieval manuscript poorly known Chaucer's contemporaries becomes, in the best manner of Ecco, in tense and diversified story in which they meet the worlds of high and low, ancient and modern, written and virtual culture"
Reading the "Codex" you'll learn how to operate well-known, large libraries that receive a valuable donation, how complex is study of medieval literature, what are Easter eggs in applications and games, you will learn about English titles and their hierarchy, from which material people made codex, how as percivied copyright ownership in the Middle Ages, what is steganogram, methods "littera textura" (woven words), palimpsest, etc., etc.

Knjige...Books...

Upravo sam pročitala „Djevojku koja se igrala vatrom“ (drugi dio trilogije Millennium) Stiega Larssona i „Puhača stakla s Murana“ Marine Fiorato.

O megapopularnom Larssonu mogu reći da je čudno da jedan novinar napiše knjigu od 628 stranica! i očekuje da ona stalno zaokuplja čitateljevu pozornost...da je skratio prvi dio bar na polovicu...da je razradio bar neke likove upola koliko Lisbeth...mhm...da nije izuzetnog lika Lisbeth Salander ne bih uopće pročitala knjigu do kraja (što vrijedi i za „Muškarce koji mrze žene“)...

Što se druge knjige tiče, iako ne volim ljubavne priče, ovu sam uzela zbog priče o Muranu i – nisam pogriješila. Istina, ljubavna priča je uobičajeno nategnuta i nezanimljiva, ali ostatak knjige je čitljiv prikaz života Venecije i Murana u prošlosti te života puhača stakla.

I just read Stieg Larsson 's book "The girl who played with fire" (the second part of the trilogy Millennium) and „The Glassblower of Muran " Marine Fiorato.
About sensation Larsson I can say only that it is strange that a journalist writes a book of 628 pages! and expected that it always attracts the reader's attention ... that at least the beginning of shortened in half.. that at least some of the characters described by half as good as Lisbeth...mhm ... ... that is not exceptional character Lisbeth Salander would not even read the book to end (which applies to "Men who hate women ")...
What other book are concerned, although I do not like love stories, this I took becouse of the story of Murano, and - I did not made a mistake. True, the love story is usually tighter and uninteresting, but the rest of the book is readable display life of Venice and Murano in the past and living glassblowers.

Ja sam hrčak.......I am a hamster

Kako kod nas nema puno izbora u hobi dućanima, ja prikupljam materijal i alat gdje god stignem; naručujem preko Neta:

idem do Celja gdje je jedna talentirana i kreativna djevojka po povratku iz Amerike otvorila scrapbook trgovinu "Memories":

pa do Kranja jer tamo imaju u Hobby&Art copic markere:

onda u Italiju...

nešto donesu rođaci iz Kanade...

i...skuplja se...ostatak kasnije, ne stane sve u jedan post...

In Croatia there is not much choice in hobby stores, so I buy materials and tools wherever they arrive, through the Net, I'm going to Celje (Slovenia), where one talented and creative girl returning from the United States opened a scrapbook store, "Memories" or to Kranj (Slovenia) because there are at Hobby & Art Copic markers, and in Italy, something brought relatives from Canada ... in. .. that's it ...the rest later, does not fit all in one post...

Napokon ispleten šal...finally knitted scarf

Prvi dan... First day...

U redu, imam novi blog...pa, da se držimo one latinske: carpe diem iliti iskoristi dan :)
Posjetila sam stotine kreativnih blogova u zadnje vrijeme, pa pomislih, lijena sam, ali bih svejedno mogla pokušati postaviti neke svoje radove tek toliko da vidite čime se bavim.
Bit će mi drago navratite li s vremena na vrijeme.

...OK, I have a new blog...so: carpe diem :)

I've been visiting hundreds creative blogs for quite a while now, and I thought, I'm so lazy, but I could try to put some of my works only that you can see what I do.

I'll be glad if you stop by from time to time.
