Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character by Richard Feynman My rating: 5 of 5 stars A wonderful book, with one important note to make: this was actually not designed to be a book. It is a …

By petko Posted on January 23, 2014 Posted in Books No Comments

QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter by Richard Feynman My rating: 5 of 5 stars Working with subatomic particle theory requires a crazy imagination because things that happen there… well, they are totally unlike anything we see in …

By petko Posted on January 12, 2014 Posted in Books No Comments

All Flesh is Grass by Clifford D. Simak My rating: 4 of 5 stars An invisible barrier that isolates a small American town from the rest of the world: I think this is the first time that motif was exploited. …

Review: A Clockwork Orange

By petko Posted on January 2, 2014 Posted in Books No Comments

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess My rating: 4 of 5 stars Not perfect, but very good! First of all, potential readers should be warned about the invented “nadsat” slang used by the narrator. The author defines it as a …

Review: Trainspotting

By petko Posted on December 15, 2013 Posted in Books No Comments

Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved “Trainspotting”. It often gets disturbing and dark, but Welsh doesn’t do that in a pointless way just to increase the shock factor. It feels more like he’s showing …

Review: Kafka on the Shore

By petko Posted on November 27, 2013 Posted in Books No Comments

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami My rating: 5 of 5 stars I think it’s a funny coincidence that I got this book while I was stuck alone in a foreign town, with nothing much to do. Just me …

Review: The Plague

By petko Posted on November 19, 2013 Posted in Books No Comments

The Plague by Albert Camus My rating: 5 of 5 stars A deep and fascinating study of the human soul. As I was reading this, I was immediately reminded of the popular “stages of grief” theory – you know, the …

Review: The Stranger

By petko Posted on October 21, 2013 Posted in Books No Comments

The Stranger by Albert Camus My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Stranger is often pointed as a markedly existentialist work. I definitely agree. Before reading this, I never really understood what “existentialism” means; now I think I do. As …
