What do we do when things go wrong?
Years ago, when I first spotted this book in a stationery shop, I decided to buy it without even flipping through its pages. On the cover, three men were being carried by the river's current toward an unknown destination. The title revealed little more than the image itself: Three Men in a Boat. Where they were going and why remained hidden between the pages.
For some reason, I never got around to reading it. The book sat forgotten on a shelf for years, quietly waiting for me. Then one day I picked it up and finally began. Soon, I discovered why these three men had embarked on such a sudden and peculiar boating trip. Tired of their daily routines and convinced that they were suffering from all sorts of illnesses, they believe an adventure will do them good. Instead, the following two weeks prove far more challenging than expected. They can never quite agree on what should be done or how it should be done. They blame one another, make a mess of simple tasks, and seem incapable of catching a break. Jerome narrates all of this with an exaggerated sense of humor and remarkable wit.
In the end, the three companions more or less accomplish what they set out to do. By the time they return to dry land, they are rather proud of themselves. But perhaps this book was written not only to amuse, but also to make us reflect. As we accompany these three friends like an invisible fourth passenger, we spend much of the journey wanting to step in and sort things out for them.
And yet, when things go wrong in our own lives, what exactly do we do?
My perspective about the book.
It is my first comment in English and after preparing. Honestly, i didnt have enough time for reading book. However, i take a little bit break the end of my first step. I cant say that the book is perfect and every single person should read. The book Includes different feelings and mindsets. From my perspective, the man cannot reach his peak without the education of USA. Truth is that war has a negative effect on our lives and decisions. As well as the man is young. I have learned that judging is not true. The book is very simple and more flowing. Meanwhile, it has a special atmosphere. It emphasizes love, war, relationship and etc within a person. I could not take lifehacks or keys from it Although, the idea works just for me. The book may be different for everyone.
If you have different idea you can write and we can discuss. I feel happy with your thoughts.

As a result of an epidemic called the Georgian Flu in the days of the Corana epidemic, the civilization's face to extinction and the crumbs left behind are told with the intersections of the life of six characters. Somewhere, I caught places similar to the small fictions in Stephen King's novel Mahşer, for example, while people were running away during the epidemic, making roads from vehicle density and dying in the vehicle or on the road.
I was admired by the fact that Clark's character at the airport made his own effort to remember the pre-pandemic civilization and the fact that the Mobile Symphony was able to continue its work despite everything.
Of course, the book is interesting in terms of its subject. If he hadn't taken the subject anyway, I probably wouldn't have attempted to read it.
However, it was as if something was missing in the book. It was as if there was a lack of flavor, a blandness that I could not understand whether the fiction was messy or style. Perhaps because the author grew up in a very different culture and geography from us, the language and order of the sentences pushed me a little. I don't know.
If we come to the question of whether it should be read, it is one of the books that falls into the time-allocable category in my opinion because it works your imagination in a very functional way, fiction and most of them can keep your curiosity vigorous for the next step.
From my point of view because it is the first book I read by the author
It's not a bad start.

Professor Luria’s book thus marks a further and decisive step toward the eventual coalescence of neurology and psychology, a goal to which only a few laboratories on the East and West have been devoted over the last decades. The book is unique in its organization. The first half deals with observations and interpretations concerning the major syndromes of man’s left cerebral hemisphere:
Those grievous distortions of higher functions traditionally described as aphasia, agnosia, and apraxia. There is also a detailed and brilliant analysis of the syndrome of massive frontal-lobe involvement. The entire second half of the book is given over to a painstaking description of Professor Luria’s tests, many of them introduced by himself, and set out in such detail that anyone could repeat them and thus verify Professor Luria’s interpretations. The two halves of the book are equally challenging and original. In the first, more theoretical, section, Professor Luria gives an account of the major syndromes in terms that reject with the same force the traditional localizationist view -the notion of discrete centers for different aspects of language, of calculation or writing- and the opposite view of holistic function of the cerebral hemisphere, a view clearly incompatible with clinical and experimental fact. In a similar way, Professor Luria’s re-analysis of agnosia and apraxia reveals inadequacies of these clinical shorthand expressions, he points out that more elementary sensory and motor changes shade into the allegedly isolated aspects of distorted “higher” function, whether of recognition or skilled movement. As a result of this balanced approach, a further traditional distinction falls by the wayside—the traditional opposition in the description of aphasia between the
The story in which the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson started, with a puzzling and above their grade murder for The Scotland Yard. The detectives of the force, Lestrade and Gregson, goes to Sherlock Holmes for the case and the story begins. Before all that, John Watson starts his own story in his own terms with a background of his own life and we all read the cases from his view as most of you know. At first, Doctor Watson's opinion of Sherlock Holmes lies solely upon watching what he does and where he goes out of curiousity -until the case presented itself and Holmes brought Watson with him.
As for the case, it looked rather plain but also a head-scratcher but it doesn't give you all that time to wonder about. While the things happens fast and it really looks like an ongoing investigation, on the bring of its edge we're thrown into the perpetrators and the victims backgrounds as if it's a completely different story. I would rather read everything from the eyes of Watson through the antagonist's confession.
Other than those, I love how Holmes explained his thought process to Watson step by step. And by reading them, I did think to myself that it wasn’t so complicated to figure out. Well, BBC' Sherlock Holmes would've called me an idiot and took an interest on how would it feel to live in my smooth brain with no folds. But the original Holmes looks cool enough, so I will be sticking with him for the rest of his cases. Hope to read more, and hope you like it if you read it.

Okay the start of the book was a little bit confusing only because there had a been a long time since i finished the first book but after 5 chapters i start to get the hang of things. First of all Emerson is such a weird name lol. I’m really happy that this book is mostly about Lilly and Atlas at the beginning i thought we were gonna read about Ryle as much but it wasn’t much. Reading Atlas’s history from hic childhood and how his Point of View was when they were kids.
I loved that the book wasn’t boring they were enough surprise elements that kept me reading the book much faster than i was planning to. Specially the facts about Atlas and his mother, learning that he has a brother and etc.
As I continued reading through the book Ryle was getting out of the picture faster. Which really liked cause i didn’t even want to read anything from him.
When Atlas confronted his brother in his restaurant it showed us, how considerate Atlas is, because the fact that their mother was so cruel on them he was very heart warming to his brother.
The only parts I kind of would not like about was the parts where Lilly for the love of God couldn’t hang up with Ryle as much se wanted to. But now that i finished the book i think that step was important for us to understand what kind of a toxic person Ryle was. I highly doubt that there is anyone loving Ryle after reading this book.
When Lilly and Atlas became official then Ryle problem started to fate cause of the happiness i got from reading that. It was great cause I was afraid the author was gonna include Ryle in the whole book but it was nice to stop reading about him towards the end of the book.
All in all I’d say this book was way better than It Ends With Us, because in the first book it was all about drama, violence and the
