Far from the Madding Crowd was more than a love story for me. It is about love, pride and how our choices. I enjoyed the life book and Bathsheba. Also seeing how her relationships changed over time.
I loved the countryside setting and the quiet atmosphere of the book. The story moves slowly but it fits the mood I believe. As some characters frustrated me this also made them feel more real.
Compared to Pride and Prejudice, which I enjoyed more, Hardy's novel felt more serious. It lacks Austen's lively conversations, but both books are those days' NETFLIX dramas.
Not every chapter worked for me, but the book left me a calm and beautiful sense of life. The life I really admire to have.
Zombi salgınını durduracak o isim:Alice
Oyunlarına hayran kaldığım serinin kitabını gördüğümde sahaftan direk alayım dedim. İyiki almışım. Kitabı öneriyorum bence bu serinin oyunlarını da oynayın hele ki 7. 8. Ve son Requem'i. Bence harikalar
SPOİLER İÇERİR:
Öncelikle bu kitap oyunlardan bağımsız, Resident Evil The Final Chapter filminin kitaba uyarlanmış hali. Filme de yarısına kadar göz attım hemen hemen aynısıydı. Filmini de öneririm bu arada. Neyse kitap Umbrella şirketinin iki kurucusundan Marcusun kızının nadir hastalığı için ortaya çıkarılan bir hücre tedavisinin yan etkisi sebebiyle bu illet zombi virüsü tüm dünyayı zombiye çeviriyor. İsaacs'ın kötü niyetli amaçları sebebiyle ortağını öldürmesiyle kitap başlıyor. Umbrella şirketinden geriye kalanlar da tüm insanları yok edip özel olarak seçip kapsüllerde sakladıkları özel insanlarla dünyayı yenileyip kusursuz soylar yapmak için hayatta kalanları da öldürmek istiyorlar. Kahramanımız cesur Alice'nin antivirüsü bulma çabalarıyla kitap bence çok iyi olmuş. Bir iki yerinde Türkçe çeviri den dolayı eylemler hatalı yazılmış ama onun haricinde bir sorunu yok farklı şeyler denemek isteyen alıp okusun şiddetle tavsiye ederim.
Bazı hikâyeler tam tahmin ettiğin gibi ilerler. Bazılarıysa son sayfada tüm bildiklerini sorgulatır. 🤯

In the Depth of PostmodernismFelsefe
I've never read a book that was both so complex and so organized at the same time as this one. Metafiction, fragmented structure, questioning metanarratives, posthumanism, postcolonialism, and all the "post-" are combined in this book. The book's self-reflective nature and its direct conversation with the reader have made it one of my favorite books written from a second-person perspective. It has a style that leads the reader into paradoxes, confuses them, and definitely broadens their horizons. Especially the stories that follow each episode are like a narrative version of the main plot of that episode. For example, in the first chapter, we, as readers, embark on a journey. A reading journey. The title of the next chapter is "If on a winter's night a traveler". So it's about someone who's embarked on a journey, a traveler. But this episode is cut short, and our character's journey is interrupted. Just like we, the readers, are constantly interrupted by the narrator throughout this book. There's a mystery in this chapter. We don't know what that mystery is. We also encounter a mystery while reading this book; which book are we reading? Why is the book incomplete? Where is the rest? And in the next chapter, we, the readers, are on the hunt for the continuation of the previous story. We go to the bookstore and find another story that could be a sequel. But this story we found has been replaced by the main story. Just like the main plot of the story we are about to read. So throughout the book, we, the readers and narrators, speak first, taking on an active role. At the end of each chapter, we read a different story. And these stories are like continuations of the previous chapter's narrative.
This rather confusing book achieves its purpose: it bores the reader. But
Her chapter da aynı mekanda başka hikayelere tanık olduk. Uzun zamandır bu kadar etkilendiğim bir kitap okumamıştım. Kitabı bitirdikten sonra içimden geçirdiğim ilk cümle şuydu: kitapta olduğu gibi kaybettiklerimizle vedalaşabilseydik ölümün acısı yeni bilenmiş bıçak gibi hissettirmeyebilirdi. Veda edebilmek nokta koyabilmek iken, veda edememek ise üç nokta koyabilmek demekti. O üç noktaya sığacak öyle çok duygu öyle çok düşünce öyle çok pişmanlık var ki… hikayelerin hepsinde kaybettiğiyle vedalaşma şansını yakalayan insanların mutlu ve rahatlamış bir şekilde kafeden ayrıldığını görüyoruz. Çünkü bilinmezlik son buldu ve huzura erdiler. Keyfine doyamadığım bu kitabı tavsiye edeceğim o kadar çok insan var ki… yazarın kalemine sağlık
This book had been showing up on my YouTube for a long time, and from what I understood, the reviews weren’t very positive. I wanted to read it without being influenced by any opinions and decide for myself after finishing it—but I can say this: from the very first chapter, I was like, what am I even reading?
Is it possible to not connect with a single character? They were all boring, like robots with just one assigned role. You’ll be the best friend, you’ll only exist for one chapter. Some things were way too obvious—for example, I immediately understood that the letter wasn’t from the mother. And then there were those birdcages, and the ring inside the cage…
I don’t know, there was absolutely no chemistry between the two main characters. Zero romance. And honestly, we didn’t even get a proper “second chance” story. Blair felt like a teenager, and Declan was just… unclear as a character. The “just friends” trope also felt pointless. And for example, the whole Lottie situation felt rushed and underdeveloped.
Honestly, I’ve realized not everyone is meant to be a writer—but if you already have a fanbase, becoming one seems pretty easy. I really wanted to like this book, but it didn’t even give the rom-com vibe I was hoping for. I only kept reading just to finish it, because from beginning to end, everything was so predictable. Somehow their problems would get resolved, and of course, it would end with a marriage proposal…
It fell far below my expectations. I don’t think I’d recommend it—unless you enjoy boring romance stories.
Bu kitap çok uzun zamandır YouTube'da karşıma çıkıyordu ve anladığım kadarıyla yapılan yorumlar pek olumlu değildi. Hiçbir yorum beni etkilemeden okumak istedim ve kitaba okuduktan sonra kararımı vermek istedim ama şunu söyleyebilirim ki, ilk
The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer is one of those rare, life changing books that stays with you long after you finish it. It is simple and easy to read, yet incredibly deep, and each chapter invites you to pause and reflect. The book gently guides you to understand your thoughts, emotions, and inner voice in a clear and powerful way. It is perfect for anyone ready to begin their spiritual journey and better understand themselves. The writing flows so naturally, making it a book you will want to revisit and keep close. A beautiful and highly recommended read.
