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!

  ⛰ 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

Nightcrawler

⛰ What It's About Lou Bloom, a petty thief who is desperate for a job, finds his real passion which is being a "nightcrawler", a journalist who works at night to look for occurrences on the streets to capture using his camera and then sell to the channels. As soon as his reputation as a stringer starts to improve, he gradually loses his humanity to make more money. Instead of becoming an observer of the crime, he becomes a participant in the crime! 🧠 Thoughts Overview Lou Bloom is a selfish creep in this movie; Gyllenhaal (the actor) plays a nearly perfect sociopath: audacious, extremely intelligent, selfish, and completely lacking of any emotions at all. He'd do anything to make his business grow even if that comes at the expense of innocent people. This movie shows us how one selfish jerk may make a whole city like LA fearful of a crime that isn't real or a crime that Lou himself caused one way or another. It also shows us how man can be driven by money and how
