Growing up, she identified herself as white until trying to get into college, when a guidance counselor advised her to register as Hispanic based on her mediocre SAT scores. Looking back at her life at the age of thirty, she realized ... (viac)that all of the success she had achieved was pretty much due to that one decision. So, in order to understand and appreciate the heritage she used but never really knew, she goes to Mexico seeking enlightenment. Griest, author of the bestseller and last year’s Mayor’s Book Club pick Around the Bloc, provides a unique insight into Mexican and Mexican-American culture in this wonderful new memoir. Tonight at 7PM.

Čože?!Otázka: Na čo slúži prepájanie/oddeľovanie a prečo je topotrebné? Odpoveď: Pretože LibraryThing pozostáva z množstva užívateľských knižníc, nedá sa zabezpečiť jednota v mene autora. "Tiež známy ako" umožňuje užívateľom jendnoducho prepájať varianty mena autorov, takže potom zbierky korešpondujú a všetko beží hladko. Otázka: Môžem prepájať aj s menom autora, ktorý sa nevyskytuje v ponuke? Odpoveď: Samozrejme. Q: I know an author is separate, but some infernal idiot keeps combining them. Can I take a name off the combination list? Odpoveď: Samozrejme. Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not. Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author? Odpoveď: No authors. Q: I am the infernal idiot and I'm right! Odpoveď: Take it to the Combiners group.Q: What if this author is really two authors? Odpoveď: We're working on a solution, but if you want you can post a brief disambiguation notice in the Common Knowledge section. Become a member to do this. |
