I really enjoyed reading this book. At first, I thought it might be difficult because it was written a long time ago, but the story became more interesting as I continued reading.
One of the things I liked most about the book was the adventure and action. The characters travel through dangerous forests, face many challenges, and have to make difficult decisions. This kept me interested and made me want to know what would happen next. But the most interesting thing was to think that all this cruelty and madness actually happened. It is blood-curling and saddening to think that the massacre scene at the battlefield or what that savage did to that baby by the rock really happened in real life.
I also liked how the friendship between the characters was shown throughout the story. The novel explores themes such as courage, loyalty, friendship, and survival. It gives readers a glimpse into a different period of history. It helped me imagine what life was like during the conflicts between different groups in North America. And I also wished I could have crazy natural survival skills, tracking skills and enhanced vision or hearing like the mohicans who dwell in the forests. Imagining living like them makes my sedentary city-dwelling life seem much more duller than normal.
"But, alas, I had done what I had determined not to do; I had slipped unthinkingly into praise of my own sex." (page: 121)
A Room of One's Own is best understood when we first reflect on what feminism actually represents. Is it merely a demand for equality? Or a rebellion against centuries of imposed roles and limitations placed upon women? Even today, when we read about the historical denial of women’s most basic rights and freedoms, we are still surprised, perhaps because contemporary society presents such a different image of gender roles.
Let us imagine a world in which women were confined solely to domestic responsibilities: raising children, sewing, and managing the household, often forced into marriage and denied access to education. A world in which they had no private space, not even half an hour truly their own. In Woolf’s argument, the absence of such material and intellectual space explains why fewer women emerged as successful writers. Without a room of one’s own, she suggests, a woman is also deprived of an inner world that belongs to her alone. Nothing is truly hers; everything is defined through ownership by men. Even the impulse to resist such conditions is gradually suppressed.
Woolf’s writing carries a clear sense of intellectual rebellion. She questions why women could not live as freely as men, and imagines the creative potential that might have emerged under equal conditions. She also attempts to explain male claims of superiority through psychological and social patterns: insecurity masked as dominance, and the need to define oneself as superior to at least half of society in order to compensate for internal doubt. Meanwhile, women, historically excluded even from libraries and formal education, were denied the very conditions necessary to

It was a collection of very tender and vibrant stories. Can you imagine you could find out your favorite recipe with using your memories. It also helps you to find out your unforgetten memories too. If I had the chance, I would want to eat "govurma aş" which I eat when I was 15 years old.
Aiden and Lucie
My second book from this author. First one was Good Spirits which was a magical and beautiful read. This book was romantic and also hilarious It is a cosy read and I feel like I'm soft and floating in the air.
Aiden works in a radio station hosting Romance Hotline. He is so scared of losing someone who he loves that he deliberately pushes people from his life and he ends up forgetting how to love someone. He is desperate when Lucie came to his life.
Lucie's daughter, Maya called Romance Hotline one night to take an advice about her mom. And everything started like that. Lucie got involved the show and together they hosted the Romance Hotline and slowly fell in love each other. However, Aiden was in denial most of the time. When he accepted he was in love with Lucie, I'm sooo happy because he found his magic All the time, they live next to each other but never had a chance to meet. They just orbited each other. Can you imagine how many chances did they miss before Maya called the radio station? Everything meant to be and in the end, they met and lived happily ever after.
"of what material was I made, that I could thus resist so many shocks, which like the turning of the wheel, continually renewed the torture?" Viktor Frankenstein
When I think about this novel, I can't help but empathise with the monster. Guilt is a very provident theme of the story, and the consequences of one choice are severe.
If only Frankenstein loved his creation instead of discarding him away.
The creature had to live on his own, crave things he could never have, teach himself language from peoples conversations, and hide in the dark, afraid that he is not worthy of love and affection. He was an abomination in the eyes of human beings so why should he care for them or spare their lives?
A chain of bad decisions and hate which could have been broken by one small act of love...
I can't imagine the pain Mary Shelly was going through when she wrote it.
I would recommend reading about her life or even watching the 2018 movie about her before reading the book. It gives another depth to the novel
Silent Patient ( story wise writing)
Now that I have finished reading “ the silent patient”, I am very amazed by the ability of the author who truly made me shocked at the end of the story that he happens to call psychological detective story… people prefer calling this book a novel but I bet it doesn’t last too long after reading the book or coming to an end that was shockingly twisted. Spoiler - The therapist would be the last person to be suspicious of as he made it sound very normal and approached to every scene and detail as a therapist whose main job is to help people. BUT never mind, nothing is the way it seems like in this life, Turkish people say if everything was the way it seemed like then water from sea would appear blue in our hands. This is what I felt when seeing the truth, the kind of truth I wouldn’t be able to imagine if Theo, the therapist didn’t reveal if at the end of the story. Or should I say the beginning of an end ? Do stories truly end or what we call “ ending” is a beginning of a new chapter…. He approached and had written it in a way that made him sound look or even appear like a “ real therapist” who carry feelings of morality, depth, integrity and truly has compassion and eager to help people who are in trouble… like Alicia….. A person, a human being, an artist who was mentally sick as the members of Grove called…. She was a psycho in their interpretations…. But who knows what drew her to kill him? Who truly has enough empathy to try to understand what she went through to do such a thing rather than being as anyone else and calling her a “ bitch” how easy it must be to call someone that… when you don’t know anything except what police officers or investigators say… As people or human beings who immediately call someone “guilty” without giving it a try to understand or
