Reading witcher in english is fascinating. Even though its translated directly from Polish, English sometimes flattens the raw, gritty Slavic wit, but the dark atmosphere still punches through. I love how this book tears down pretty fairy tales. It shows a magical world ruined by ugly human realities such as injustice, racism, and violence. It proves that no matter the universe, human nature always brings the same disgusting problems. Since I’ve played all the games, I didn't have to build this world from scratch. I felt like I was returning home, totally immersed from page one. Plus, every character is so distinct you instantly adopt them. Dandelion, especially, is brilliant, his dramatic bard energy perfectly balances the grim reality. The core of the book for me is Geralt. He acts like a heartless mutant who only kills for coin, forcing himself to believe he has no feelings because society expects him to be cold. But underneath, he is incredibly soft hearted. I related to him deeply. People often call me emotionless too. But I know how much I actually care. When it matters, sometimes I act way more thoughtful and genuinely considerate than the people who constantly brag about how sensitive they are. Like Geralt, being guarded doesn't mean you don't feel. Some dislike that this is just a collection of scattered short stories, but I think it’s the perfect, low pressure gateway into the universe. It’s a fun, easy read that makes you feel both the darkness of the world and the hidden warmth of its hero.

I never thought that one day I would read and finish this book, but here I am — I read it, I finished it, and just as I expected, it turned out exactly that way. The Love Hypothesis is a book full of clichés but with the “I’m going to break the clichés” kind of attitude. I’m not even sure where to start. I don’t know if I actually liked the book, but I enjoyed reading it. It flowed really well, so I can’t complain about that part. However, Olive constantly talking about how big Adam was started to annoy me. I wanted to tell her, “Yes, we get it, he’s a big guy. You don’t have to remind us every ten seconds!” After that, their dialogues… I don’t know, they felt really ridiculous to me. It was less of a romantic comedy and more of a romantic nonsense kind of story. But it was the type of book that didn’t require much thought, was easy to read, and flowed nicely. I already know that once I finished it, I wouldn’t think about it again. The movie adaptation is coming. I’m not sure if I’ll watch it, but maybe I will just to clear my mind and have something easy to watch. Bir gün bu kitabı okuyup ve bitireceğimi hiç düşünmezdim ama işte buradayım, okudum ve bitirdim ve tahmin ettiğim gibi oldu. Klişelerle dolu ama ben klişeleri yıkmaya karar verdim havası ile love hypothesis kitabı. Nereden başlasam emin değilim. Kitabı beğendim mi, ondan bile emin değilim ama okurken keyif aldım, yani akıp gitti okurken. O kısımda bir sorun yoktu ama olive'in sürekli adam ne kadar büyük demesi sinir bozucuydu. Kendisine gidip evet anladık, o büyük biri. Bunu her on saniyede bize hatırlatmana gerek yok! Sonrasında aralarındaki diyaloglar, bilmiyorum çok saçma geldi. Romantik komediden çok, romantik saçmalıklar üzerine bir kurguydu ama kafayı yormayan, akan ve bittiğinde bir daha

First of all, it was an easy and comfortable book to read, and it had everything you would expect from a romance novel. The characters constantly running into each other, the male main character always being the one who saves the woman, those moments where the female character is like “I don’t depend on a man, look, I’m strong too,” and the fact that they immediately fell for each other from the very first moment they saw each other — it had all of those things. The girl loving luxury but also having those “I’m not like that” moments was there too. Even the way they acted like teenagers experiencing love for the first time was included. I was expecting something more interesting, especially since the main character was supposedly bisexual, but she basically fell for the first handsome and rich man she saw. I didn’t like any of the characters. Honestly, it was obvious how the ending would go. They were either going to get married or he was going to propose, and that unnecessary breakup scene the author added just to create some drama was so pointless. It was nice to read something that reflected Armenian culture, and the book has an English level that flows easily and doesn’t make the reader struggle too much. But aside from that, I feel like something was missing. It could have been much better. It’s readable, but I don’t think it’s a book that should be taken too seriously. In my opinion, it was just a very light, “snackable” read. İlk olarak okunması rahat bir kitaptı ve bir romantik kitapta bulunacak her şey vardı. Karakterlerin her daim denk gelmesi, çoğu zaman ana erkek karakterin hep kadını kurtarması ve arada benim kadın karakterim bir erkeğe bağlı değil, bakın o da çok güçlü denilen anları ve birbirlerini gördükleri ilk andan itibaren hemen birbirlerine

Okudukça ana karakterin otizm spektrumunda olduğuna daha da emin olduğum ilginç bir kitap. Okurken kadını ve içinde bulunduğu durumları çok kolay bir şekilde kafamda canlandırabildim, haklı olduğu yerler var mıydı? Vardı ama is life meant to be lived this way? Normalin ne olduğunu, daha doğrusu insan olmanın ve toplumda var olmanın bizlere nasıl öğretildiğini düşündürdü. Altını çizdiğim birkaç yer dışında tekrar dönüp bakar mıyım? IDK.

“Kendi rüyanın ustası olmak önemli. Bu yüzden Toltekler rüya ustalarıdır. Hayatınız rüyanın ifadesidir ve yaşam bir sanattır. Eğer rüyadan zevk almıyorsanız istediğiniz her an yaşamınızı değiştirebilirsiniz.” Kitabın başlarında görülen, işitilen her şeyin rüya olduğu ve günün yirmi dört saati rüya görüldüğü savı üzerinde durulmuştu. Bu ifadeyi rüya kavramının bildiğimiz anlamına aykırı bir düşünce yapısı olarak değerlendirmiştim ve mantığıma da çok yatmamıştı açıkçası. Daha 25. sayfada Don Miguel Ruiz aktarmaya çalıştığı bilgilere karşı şüpheci bir role büründürmüştü beni. Bu durumda kitabın halihazırda 122 sayfa olduğunu belirtmek isterim…(Rolü değiştirmek için fazla vakti yoktu ama sözlerin yaratıcı gücü konusunda o kadar haklıydı ki bir anlaşmaya varabildik :)) “Dikkatimizi kullanarak tüm realiteyi, tüm rüyayı öğrendik.” Bak şimdi…Realite ve rüya kavramlarına aynı cümle içerisinde, nasıl aynı eylemi karşılaması için yer verebildik? Bir gerçekliğin içinde rüyaya kaptırabiliriz kendimizi ama rüyalarımızı gerçeğe dönüştürmeden önce realiteden bahsetmemiz pek mümkün değil. Ayrıca her yaşamın gerçekliği rüya değil, bazıları gözlerini kabusa açıyor. Demem o ki yaşam gerçektir ve rüya olarak yansıtılan bir durumda nasıl realiteden bahsedilebilir aklım pek almıyordu. Sonrasında okudukça fark ettim ki Tolteklerin olayı bu. Hayal ettikleri hayatı ellerindeki bilge dokunuşla işleyerek gerçek kılıyorlar. Rüyalarını gerçekleştiriyorlar. Bu onların gerçekliği oluyor. Hiç kimse tarafından onlara dayatılmayan, kendi gerçekliklerini var ediyorlar. Bu yüzdendir ki her şey sahtelikten uzak, olabildiğince gerçek ve rüyalarındaki kadar parlak… Hatta arttırıyorum, bunu herkesin başarabileceğini savunuyorlar. Sözlerinizle özenli olduğunuzda, hiçbir şeyi kişisel

Rutger Bregman’s book Humankind is one of the books that questions negative ideas about human nature and makes readers think. For many years, many people believed that humans are naturally selfish, bad, and only care about themselves. However, Bregman does not agree with this idea. According to him, human nature is not as dark as people think. Instead, people are more willing to help each other, understand others’ feelings, and do good things. In the book, the author supports these ideas with many examples from wars, psychology experiments, history, and biology. One of the best parts of the book is that it gives hope about humanity. Still, when I finished the book, I did not only feel admiration. On one side, I was happy to read it because it made me think differently. On the other side, some of the author’s ideas felt too optimistic to me. Because of this, the book was both interesting and questionable for me. One of the strongest parts of the book is that it makes people question ideas about human nature that many accept without thinking. Today, we often see violence, murder, wars, and fights on television, social media, and in the news. After some time, people start to believe that the world is full of bad people. At this point, Bregman asks an important question: If humans were really bad by nature, how could societies survive for so many years? A big part of human history was shaped by helping each other, working together, and surviving together. From this side, the writer’s ideas are important and meaningful. His ideas against the belief that humans are naturally wild are especially interesting. Today, when someone behaves badly, people sometimes say, “Did you grow up in a cave?” However, Bregman says that hunter-gatherer societies were not as violent as many
