About

 I'm an 18-year old computer engineering student who loves reading and wants to share his thought about books for the benefit of all. The idea of making a blog, on which I share book thoughts and summaries, came from my need to memorize the content that I read. I remember that I was once talking with a friend about a book that I had finished not long ago and I was unable to recall major events of the book. I just didn't want to read books and then forget all what I read; that's not fair. As a solution, I started making summaries of the books that I read. And after a while, the thought of making this blog occurred to me. I mean, why not publish these thoughts and summaries and put them online so that maybe someone somewhere on this planet might find them useful after all. Peace out!

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality

  ⛰ What It's About It's a Harry Potter fanfiction book written by Eliezer Yudkowsky, an AI researcher and decision theorist. In Yudkowsky's parallel universe, Petunia is married to a famous biochemistry professor at Oxford university and Harry is a nerdy genius kid who was brought up as a science-minded child. Harry goes on to explore the magic world from a rationalist's point of view; trying to apply scientific method to the study of magic. HPMOR adapts the story of Harry Potter to explain complex concepts in cognitive science, philosophy, and the scientific method. 🧠 Thoughts This is not going to be a conventional review; I will provide extracts from the book with my own comments or with further explanation from trustworthy sources (referenced at the end of the blog post). I decided to do so for two reasons; first, I thinks these extracts offer a glimpse of the book that's enough to make you decide whether you want to read it or not. Second, I believe that the...

⛰ What It's About Linnet Doyle's got everything: money, charm and gorgeousness, but the kicker is that she isn't yet married. When Linett's best friend, Jacqueline, asks her to see her lover, Simon, in order to get him a job, Linnet falls in love with him and then they get married. After a while, Linnet Doyle goes to Egypt on a honeymoon with her best friend's ex-lover; they go on a Nile cruise, where a murder occurs. Unfortunately for the culprit(s), this particular Nile cruise has Hercule Poirot and Colonel Race abroad who unite to solve this mystery. 🧠 Thoughts Christie in Egypt Death on the Nile  is loved and appreciated by many fans of Agatha Christie. This is not necessarily due to the intricate plot that was featured in the book, but because of, in my opinion, the ambience of the book; it makes you experience Egyptian vibes by travelling with the characters, through which you get to know more about Egypt.  Christie's visit to Egypt inspired her to writ...

The One

⛰ What It's About  Relationships and dating have radically changed! The "love gene", the gene that each person shares with only just one other person, has been discovered, and DNA-based dating became the new trend. All it takes is just a mouth swab (DNA sample) and then Match Your DNA, the DNA matching company, takes it from here. This company, in return for a nominal fee, searches through its huge database for your DNA match, the person who has the same "love gene" and then connects you with each other. In other words, it connects you with THE ONE who you are made to love, THE ONE you are genetically made for. Is this discovery really a major breakthrough of humanity as it seems? Or is it a tool that dooms relationships and love? 🧠 Thoughts Imagine a world where this service is available! Imagine the whopping number of relationships that will form when single people finally hook up and imagine the myriad of benefits may emerge from that. ‘Matches are better of...
