Mkuu nimebahatika kuvisoma vyote isipokuwa tu Winds of the Winter katika A Song of Ice and Fire ambacho bado hakijatoka chote.
Screenplay na riwaya huwa zinatofautiana kwa sababu za kisanii na logistics n.k hivyo si rahisi movie ikafanana kabisa na riwaya yake.
Nadhani movie ya Harry Potter ambayo hairidhishi kwa msomaji wa vitabu ni ile Part 6, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.
Hizi nyingine sioni kama zimefeli sana ukilinganisha na vitabu vyake.
Namhusudu sana huyu dada JK Rowlings kwa utunzi wake wa Harry Potter. My favourite is part 4- Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.

True that. Mimi pia napenda The Goblet of Fire, kitabu pamoja na movie.

Unakielezeaje kitabu cha Great expectation kama umewahi kukisoma.?

Hicho kitabu nilikisoma wakati nipo form one. Kipindi hicho sijui hata Kiiingereza vizuri. Nilikipenda sana, na nilikirudia mara nyingi sana enzi hizo.

Huwezi amini imepita miaka mingi lakini bado namkumbuka Pip (Phillip), Estelle, Ms.Havisham, na yule Pirates aliyemtoa Pip.

My favorite quote kwenye kile kitabu ni, " The failure is not mine and success is not mine, but the two together make me."

Natafuta kitabu cha Yes Man, nimeona muvi tu na muvi hua inachukua kidogo tu kwenye kitabu

Mkuu umesoma hivi vitabu? Maana ni vikubwa balaa na nusu.

On the hand, napenda sana movie ya Lord of the rings. Naonaga kama walipatia sana kuwaigiza wale character wa kwenye kitabu.

Harry Potter naona kama walifeli kuwaigiza wale character wa kwenye vitabu.

Mimi nadhani teenagers watafurahia zaidi kwa sababu imagination zao zipo juu. Kwa sisi wakongwe inaweza ikakuboa unless na wewe imagatination yako iwe juu.

Hi,

I used to think that reading was boring until I found books that really sparked my interest. Reading became important to me because it’s fun and it teaches me new things. It keeps my mind active and inshape and it makes a difference for me if I go long periods without reading books, my mind starts to stagnate.

My favorite book of all the time is East of Eden by John Steinbeck. I liked this book and I loved every page of it. To be honest this is a masterpiece. To this day still is one of the best motivational book I’ve ever read. I enjoyed it for the massages it provides. I have been reading the book and just got to these quotes “And now that, you don’t have to be perfect you can be good.” And “ If you want to be straight allow yourself to be crooked” etc. Truthfully this book gave me a little inspiration to pursue my goals.

Another one is The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. It’s the funniest book I have ever read. I’ve read the book many times, but still makes me laugh. I will share favorite part that I found myself re-reading, you know, Said Arthur,” It's at times like this when I m trapped in a Vogon...... And about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I’d listened to what my mother told me when I was young”

“Why, what did she tell you?”

Arthur “ I don’t know, I didn’t listen”.
It’s so insanely funny and It reminds me that you shouldn’t take life so damn seriously.

Do you have any favorite book(s) you real like? Tell us about it, based on how good the book was, and why you think it was the best, what is the favorite part in it?

For those who don’t like reading, y'all should know that reading is the good way to learn new things, to see things in another perspective and to expand your creativity and linguistic skills.

Welcome guys.

G’day.

“Mr Kettlewell?” Rat-Toothed had clambered to his hind legs.
“Yes, Freddy?” Freddy was Rat-Toothed’s given name, though Suzanne was hard pressed to ever
retain it for more than a few minutes at a time. Kettlewell knew every business-journalist in the
Silicon Valley by name, though. It was a CEO thing.

“Where will you recruit this new workforce from? And what kind of entrepreneurial things will they
be doing to ’exhaust the realm of commercial activities’?”

“Freddy, we don’t have to recruit anyone. They’re beating a path to our door. This is a nation of
manic entrepreneurs, the kind of people who’ve been inventing businesses from video arcades to
photomats for centuries.” Freddy scowled skeptically, his jumble of grey tombstone teeth
protruding. “Come on, Freddy, you ever hear of the Grameen Bank?”
Freddy nodded slowly. “In India, right?”

“Bangladesh. Bankers travel from village to village on foot and by bus, finding small co-ops who
need tiny amounts of credit to buy a cellphone or a goat or a loom in order to grow. The bankers
make the loans and advise the entrepreneurs, and the payback rate is fifty times higher than the
rate at a regular lending institution. They don’t even have a written lending agreement:
entrepreneurs—real, hard-working entrepreneurs—you can trust on a handshake.”

“You’re going to help Americans who lost their jobs in your factories buy goats and cellphones?”
“We’re going to give them loans and coordination to start businesses that use information,
materials science, commodified software and hardware designs, and creativity to wring a profit
from the air around us. Here, catch!” He dug into his suit-jacket and flung a small object toward
Freddy, who fumbled it. It fell onto Suzanne’s keyboard.

She picked it up. It looked like a keychain laser-pointer, or maybe a novelty light-saber.
“Switch it on, Suzanne, please, and shine it, oh, on that wall there.” Kettlewell pointed at the
upholstered retractable wall that divided the hotel ballroom into two functional spaces.
Suzanne twisted the end and pointed it. A crisp rectangle of green laser-light lit up the wall.

“Now, watch this,” Kettlewell said.
NOW WATCH THIS
The words materialized in the middle of the rectangle on the distant wall.
“Testing one two three,” Kettlewell said.
TESTING ONE TWO THREE
“Donde esta el bano?”
WHERE IS THE BATHROOM
“What is it?” said Suzanne. Her hand wobbled a little and the distant letters danced.
WHAT IS IT

“This is a new artifact designed and executed by five previously out-of-work engineers in Athens,
Georgia. They’ve mated a tiny Linux box with some speaker-independent continuous speech
recognition software, a free software translation engine that can translate between any of twelve
languages, and an extremely high-resolution LCD that blocks out words in the path of the laserpointer.
“Turn this on, point it at a wall, and start talking. Everything said shows up on the wall, in the
language of your choosing, regardless of what language the speaker was speaking.”
All the while, Kettlewell’s words were scrolling by in black block caps on that distant wall: crisp,
laser-edged letters.

“This thing wasn’t invented. All the parts necessary to make this go were just lying around. It was
assembled. A gal in a garage, her brother the marketing guy, her husband overseeing
manufacturing in Belgrade. They needed a couple grand to get it all going, and they’ll need some
life-support while they find their natural market.

“They got twenty grand from Kodacell this week. Half of it a loan, half of it equity. And we put them
on the payroll, with benefits. They’re part freelancer, part employee, in a team with backing and
advice from across the whole business.

“It was easy to do once. We’re going to do it ten thousand times this year. We’re sending out
talent scouts, like the artists and representation people the record labels used to use, and they’re
going to sign up a lot of these bands for us, and help them to cut records, to start businesses that
push out to the edges of business.

“So, Freddy, to answer your question, no, we’re not giving them loans to buy cellphones and
goats.”
