20. A book featuring indigenous people of a country - Alma Katsu: The Hunger

Nevadan ja Kalifornian rajoilla olevan Great Basin alueen intiaaniheimoja – Miwok, Paiute, Washoe - oli mukana tarinassa. Anawai niminen heimo taisi olla tarinaan keksitty...

5. A book by Shakespeare or inspired by Shakespeare Charles & Mary Lamb: Shakespearen tarinoita

Alunperin tämä teos on julkaistu 1807 ja sen tarkoituksena oli esitellä Shakespearen näytelmiä lapsille. Kirjassa on kuvailtu yhteensä 20 näytelmän tarinat. Juonia on tosin yksinkertaistettu ja väkivaltaa siistitty. Kirjoittajat myös toisinaan kommentoivat esim. hahmojen kohtaloita (pahikset saivat annsoinsa mukaan yms). Olen lukenut jonkin verran Shakespearen näytelmiä suomeksi ja niiden kieli on aina tuntunut ylitsepääsemättämän hankalalta, enkä siksi ole niistä sanottavammin nauttinut. Tämän kirjan luettuani tajusin viimeistään kuinka pöljiä niiden näytelmien juonetkin ovat. Jokaisessa on vähintään yksi valepuku (yleensä mieheksi naamioitunut nainen), salamarakastuminen, valekuolema ja onnekas yhteensattuma / deus ex machina.

33. A book you have owned for at least a year, but have not read yet Leena Laulajainen: Viivi, Ruusunen ja kiinalainen kello

Teoriassa ainakin. Nappasin tämän niteen kirjaston poistoista joitain vuosia sitten ja se on nököttänyt hyllyssä lukemattomana siitä lähtien. Tarinan itsessään olen lukenut lapsena varmaan monestikin sekä viimeksi kirjanpitoni mukaan melkein tasan 13 vuotta sitten.

9. A book from one of the top 5 money making genres (romance/erotica, crime/mystery, religious/inspirational, science fiction/fantasy or horror) - Charles Stross: Singulariteettitaivas

Science fiction on määritelty kohdassa olevan tuottoisa genre – näin varmasti maailmalla, mutta tuskinpa Suomessa, scifiä ei ylipäätään kovin paljon suomenneta. Siksipä on niin hienoa, että pienkustantamo Nysalor uskalsi tarttua tämän genressään arvostetun kirjailijan teoksen suomentamiseen.

Tarinan tyylissä on monenlaista vivahdetta – siinä on kovaa scifiä, seikkailua, vakoilujännäriä, avaruusoopperaa, aikamatkailua, sotatoimia, jopa rakkaustarinaa. Singulariteettitaivas ei ollut kaikkein helpoin kirja itselleni. Teknologian selvittelyssä olin aika kuutamolla ja muutenkin lukutahtini oli tarinalle liian hidas ja ympäristö lukemiselle välillä rauhaton, jolloin tarina ei aina pysynyt kasassa päässäni. Lukemiseni huonoista lähtökohdista tai lievästi sekavasta kerronnasta huolimatta kirjasta jäi hyvä maku lopulta. Tarinassa on mainioita ideoita, vaikka kuinka. Festivaali ja kriitikot mm. olivat hykerryttäviä. Pientä huumoria esiintyi kerronnassa siellä sun täällä, mikä on aina tärkeää – hauskaa pitää olla. Lopussa irtonaiset langanpäät sidottiin hyvin yhteen ja eri osa alueiden epäselvät tarkoitukset ja roolit sai selityksensä. Lukisin mielelläni Strossia lisää suomeksi. 4-/5

Alkuvuodesta ilmestynyt mutta tulin tietoiseksi vasta hiljattain, kun tätä hehkutettiin niin kovasti somessa. Kirjaston varausjonokin oli aikamoinen.

6. A book with a dual timeline - Tim Powers: Anubiksen portit

Kirjassa ei tarkalleen ole kahta aikajanaa vaan kolme, mutta en jaksa olla tiukkapipo vaan hyväksyn sen silti tähän kohtaan. Pääasiassa ollaan 1810-luvun Lontoossa, mutta alussa myös vuodessa 1983 ja keskivaiheen jälkeen jonkin aikaa 1600-luvulla.

44. A book related in some way to a tv show/series or movie you enjoyed (same topic, same era, book appeared in the show/movie, etc.) Marcel Proust: Swannin tie 1 – Combray (Kadonnutta aikaa etsimässä #1)

Villi pohjola -tv-sarjan pienen alaskalaiskaupungin paikallisradion vetäjä Chrisillä on tapana lukea kuulijoilleen kaikenlaista kirjallisuutta. Enimmäkseen kuitenkin järeitä klassikoita ja runoutta, joten tämä kirja oli sieltä helpoimmasta päästä. Tosin en ole varma lukiko hän juuri tätä osaa sarjasta, sillä se ei käynyt mitenkään ilmi. Koko roskaa en kuitenkaan ala kahlata läpi, tässäkin oli ihan tarpeeksi tekemistä.

Mutta nyt on haasteet viety finaaliin, jei! Tällä kertaa ei onneksi ole sellaista perinteistä orpouden tunnetta, että mitä sitä nyt sitten lukisi. Päin vastoin, itse asiassa. :smile:

52/52

Perinteinen yhteenveto näin haasteiden lopuksi:
Lukemisessa kesti tällä kertaa 5 viikkoa kauemmin kuin viime vuonna mutta vastavuoroisesti selvisin lukemalla seitsemän kirjaa vähemmän, eli yhteensä 66 teosta. 34 kirjaa oli joko spefiä tai sisälsi spefielementtejä. 28 kirjaa sain sijoitettua kaikkiin kolmeen haasteeseen, 30 kahteen ja 8 yhteen. 39 oli sellaista, joita en olisi luultavasti tullut lukeneeksi ilman haasteita. Lukemistani kirjoista 28 oli mielestäni hyviä, 18 huonompia ja loput jotain siltä väliltä.

5. A book by Shakespeare or inspired by Shakespeare - Margaret Atwood: Noidan sikiö

Shakespearen Myrsky on tämän tarinan inspiraation lähde. Ongelma vaan itselleni on se, että en ole kiinnostunut Shakespearen näytelmistä, enkä myöskään Myrskyä ole entuudestaan lukenut saati sitten nähnyt näytelmää. Tarinassa käydään näytelmäkurssia ja näytellään muunnelmaa Myrskystä, mutta tarinan kehyskertomus on myös variaatio Myrskystä. Siinä mielessä ihan oivaltava teos on kyseessä, mutta en ole muistakaan teatterimaailmaa kuvaavista kirjoista erityisemmin pitänyt. Tämä ei ollut poikkeus. 2/5

2. A book with one of the 5 W's in the title (Who, What, Where, When, Why): Tuija Lehtinen: Missä olet Sara?

Ei nyt tullut laiskasta hakemisesta huolimatta sopivaa englanninkielistä opusta vastaan joten mennään sitten suomenkielisellä vastineella.

39. A book with a strong sense of place or where the author brings the location/setting to life: Adam Kay: Kohta voi vähän kirpaista

Toi vähän liiankin todenmukaisen tuntuman lääkärin työskentelystä brittien terveydenhuollossa.

25. 4 books inspired by the wedding rhyme: Book #3 Something Borrowed - Isaac Asimov: Teräsluolat

Onneksi vielä löytyi Helmetistä lainattavaksi. Kaksi kappaletta löytyy Pasilan kirjavarastosta ja varauksiakin kirjalle tuntuu olevan tasaisesti. Melko kälysessä kunnossa kirja olikin. Nettimyynnissä käytettynä sitä vielä löytyy kalliiseen hintaan. Sitä vastoin Robotit sarjan kolmosta - Aamunkoiton robotit ei Helmetistä sitten enää löydykään ja pikaisesti netistä etsittynä sitä ei juuri ole edes myynnissä. Onneksi olkoon niille, jotka sarjan kirjat omistavat.

Tersäluolat oli ihan kiva murhan selvittely tarina. Kuitenkin mielikuva siitä, että Teräsluolien jatko-osa Alaston aurinko, jonka luin 10 vuotta sitten, olisi ollut parempi. 50-luvulla kirjoitetun tarinan naiskuva oli melkoisen huvittavaa luettavaa – tälläkään kertaa ei potuttanut, se on se ajankuva. Liikkuvat jalkakäytävät, hidastus kaistoineen taisi olla päivän sana vuoden 1953 tienoilla sillä luin tasan vuosi sitten toisen aikalaiskirjan Aikakoneen salaisuus, jossa esiteltiin sama jalkakäytävä idea kuin Teräsluolissa. 3/5
