True At First Light: A Fictional Memoir By Ernest Hemingway
  • Décevant...

    À partir d'un manuscrit laissé en plan par son père, le fils de Hemingway a publié ce livre il y a quelques années. Dès le début, le style énergique, succinct et efficace nous manque.

    Le meilleur commentaire que j'ai lu sur ce livre est le suivant :

    À partir d'un manuscrit laissé en plan par son père, le fils de Hemingway a publié ce livre il y a quelques années. Dès le début, le style énergique, succinct et efficace nous manque.

    Le meilleur commentaire que j'ai lu sur ce livre est le suivant :
    "Authors can agonize and fantasize, but sometimes a story resists its birth. The writer can complete the manuscript, can tweak it and tease it and rub at it. But editing a manuscript that is going nowhere is like flogging a dead horse. Ernest Hemingway knew he had no story in True at First Light worth pursuing. Too bad his estate didn't agree."

    L'auteur a de toute évidence lu "Getting things done", "Brain rules" et quelques livres qui parlent de la méditation. Ensuite, il a décidé de tout mélanger en enlevant toutes les explications et en sursimplifiant. Pour s'assurer que son livre aurait une taille raisonnable, il a décidé de tout répéter 3-4 fois.

    Le résultat? Un livre de psycho-pop qui semble écrit pour des personnes qui vivent dans l'univers des Teletubbies.

    Si les sujets de la motivation, de l'apprentissage et de la productivité vous intéressent, lisez ceux qui ont inspiré l'auteur, pas ce résumé édulcoré.

Travels By Michael Crichton
  • Les récits de voyage sont passionnants, mais plus le livre avance, plus l'auteur nous parle des ses "expériences spirituelles" de type voyage astral, voyance et autres rencontres avec des gourous nouvel-âgeux. Douteux.

The Hidden Logic of Life: The Surprisingly Rational Choices That Shape Our World By Tim Harford
  • Intéressant, s'inscrit dans la mouvance de Freakonomics. Pourrait d'ailleurs s'intituler Freakonomics 2. Cependant, on finira par comprendre où les auteurs veulent en venir, acquiescer avec eux, et passer à autre chose. Le défi: comment s'inspirer des leçons apprises pour en faire qqch au quotidien.
