4/5 Stars (%79/100) This is a simple short story about Marquis de Carabas' search for his magnificent coat. Marquis is a mysterious character from Neverwhere, Gaiman's brilliant novel about London Below. Therefore, it is highly recommended (not obligatory) that you read the novel first. As with many other works of Gaiman, this one was also pretty humorous. Though the premise itself is quite simple, Gaiman makes the story interesting and fun enough to make you read it. De Carabas also reminds me a lot of Anansi and other trickster characters of Gaiman. And I love these kinds of silver-tongued characters. Short but fun book, definitely recommended.

Oldukça büyük puntolarla yazılmış, ortalama bir yazı boyutu kullanılsaydı muhtemelen 50-60 sayfa civarında bir kitap olurdu. Metnin bu kısalığına rağmen yer yer büyük boşlukların bulunduğu sayfalar ve başka yazarlardan uzun alıntılar var. Yani yazarın kendi sesini çok az duyuyoruz. O ses de daha önce bu konularda okumalar yapmış kişilere yeni bir

Okulda bize finansal başarıya nasıl ulaşılacağını veya para politikasını öğretmediler. Bob Proctor'un Zengin Doğdun kitabı bu yüzden çok önemli. Bu, okuyuculara doğuştan gelen potansiyellerinden yararlanarak finansal başarıya nasıl ulaşacaklarını öğreten bir kişisel gelişim kitabıdır. Proctor, olumlu bir zihniyete sahip olmanın önemini

The Silmarillion
The Silmarillion
Pre-First Age, First Age, Second Age, Third Age, Fourth Age. Many incredible events that have happened throughout these ages, magnificent characters, exciting battles, the struggle of good and evil in a completely different dimension and an incredible imagination. It consists of Tolkie’s notes on the first creation of the universe, how evil arose in Middle-earth, how elves, humans and dwarves appeared. The histories of the ages, the legends of the heroes, the creation of the universe and everything living, the time passed from ancient times to the present, the songs and the formation process of the rules of the universe, and everything necessary to establish a. It describes three ages, beginning with the Music of the Ainur and ending with the Elves leaving Middle-earth after the War of the Ring. The Silmarillion begins with the god Eru and ends with the famous ‘Lord of the Rings’ chapter, describing the existence of the Valar (a kind of lower gods), the creation of the world, the creation of elves, humans, dwarves, Ents, orcs. In the book, the important stories of the Tolkien Universe, Beren and Luthien, the Children of Hurin, the Fall of Gondolin, the Fall of Numenor, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are told superficially. This work is almost a guide to the heroes mentioned in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. It was like a real navigation that taught how the settlements mentioned in the work came to be, where they were established, what their real name was and what happened.

OUR MAGNIFICENT BASTARD TONGUE: THE UNTOLD HISTORY OF ENGLISH
İngilizce neden kolay bir dil sayılıyor? Neden "Speak you..?" değil de "Do you speak?" diyoruz, neden var bu anlamsız "do" ? Neden ailenin diğer üyeleri(Almanca, İsveççe vs.) gibi gramer cinsiyeti yok? Neden diğer Hint-Avrupa dilleri gibi her öznesi farklı çekimlenmeyip bir -s takısıyla(I go, he/she/it goes) işi bitiyor? Bu farklılıkların tarihi bir nedeni var mı yoksa öylesine mi meydana geldiler? Dilbilimci John McWhorter, bugüne kadar sıradan vatandaşa anlatılan İngilizce Tarihi'ni yetersiz bulmuş, ve kendi başlığıyla bir "Anlatılmamış Tarih" kitabı yazmış. Sadece kelimeler verip 800 yılında böyle yazılıyordu, 1200'de böyle oldu, 1600'de şöyle oldu demiyor. Bunun yerine gramerin zamanla değişimine odaklanıp; Viking akınları, Keltler ve hatta Kartacalılara kadar uzanan bir hikaye anlatıyor. Kitapta bir de Sapir-Whorf hipotezine ayrılmış bir kısım var. Dediklerine katılsam da kitabın konusuyla alakasız buldum. Genele hitap etmişken bu popüler mite de değineyim demiş diye düşünüyorum.

In a word, it was magnificent. I wish I had a school like Hogwarts I wanted to get to know the books as well as the movies. I can't wait to read the other books in the series.

The book tells about a stranger who is indifferent to the events around him. Even to the death of his mother and even himself. It is a magnificent work in which a character who is completely alienated from human feelings such as sacrifice, excitement and ambition is told and will make you want to read other books of the author.

This allegorical pop-culture phenomenon is a simple story about a shepherd who decides to chase his dreams. As literature, it's strictly in the same featherweight division as the collected works of Mitch Albom; as New-Age self-help it's somewhere along the lines of those motivational posters hanging on the walls of your dentist's office. Proceed accordinglyIt is a magnificent piece of work that reminds one not to stop chasing dreams and wishes. At the same time, it serves as a guide to life and morality and serves as an advice. As the author said, "Reading The Alchemist is like waking up at dawn when everyone is still asleep and watching the sun rise.

As an admirer of Sagan, very much liked reading this magnificent book compiled by Ann Druyan from Sagan's transcribed talks on natural theology delivered in 1985 at the University of Glasgow as part of the Gifford Lectures. Like Einstein, Sagan had said that he believes in Spinoza's God which reveals itself in the lawful harmony of the nature, the world, indeed the universe, not in a God who concerns itself with the faith and the doings of human beings. So do I... God is the energy we are made of, like all in the universe. God is that single particle of atom of quarks which started to create the ever expanding universe with the big bang. As Einstein said, God is the total sum of all the laws of physics (and nature) which applies throughout the universe. God is the science, the key to everything...

Top Girls and Feminism
It would be accurate to state that feminism is an umbrella term that has several different aspects within it. Matters are categorized mainly according to the position of women in society. The ideas have changed throughout the waves of feminism. The two familiar types of feminism which are bourgeois and socialist feminism have contrasting ideas
