In Immortality, Milan Kundera is taking you a trip in time and space. You find yourself sitting in the same house by Goethe or running at night in a Parisian street, where strange professors perform childish acts. This is a novel about people trying to go beyond their limits and when they make it, Mr. Kundera leaves us the judgment of what success means...

Scores very high in my "Best Books" list.

In his search, he finds himself in a mystical world, guided by the newspaper articles written by his brother-in-law Jelal. In this magical trip his road crosses many times with gansters, executioners, dictators, photographers, retired soldiers, grocers, Jelalettin Rumi and other strange bunch of people you cannot even dream of in such a book. It is amazing diversity of characters collected in one volume. The only other books I know which can do this are encyclopedias.

This is the most complex book I have ever read. First time I have read this book was four years ago. Then I read some books about mystisizim, philosophy and literature and then re-read this book last summer. I realised how much I have missed in the first reading. Then I read a whole book consisting essays about this book and then I saw that I missed more than half of the hidden connections in the second pass as well.

If you are planning to go for this book : BEWARE. YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FINISH IT. It is a very famous book in Turkey and only one out of ten readers finish it. (My own statistics from my own friends. I know nine other guys who skipped the book after reading one or two chapters.)

P.S. My review is based on the Turkish version but I have bought and examined the English version as well. Good translation.

Two constructor robots. They are each other's best friends and worst competitors. Trurl and Klapaucius construct machines and sail on to distant lands (stars) in search of adventure (and jobs).

Make something good for your life; change it. Read Cyberiad.

Read this book even if you do not have anything to do with software engineering or computers. It tells you why things may not work as planned in reality. The language is plain. No computer jargon.

If you are leading a team, or working in a team, or managing something, or just hanging around read this.

If you are working in the software industry, this is your Bible.

It is a funny book about a serious subject. You will laugh a lot but also think a lot.

Another important aspect of the book is attracting attention to this subject, specially from a lot of people who have ignored it (including myself).

The Hitchhikers idea has started as a radio series. This extremely funny (and different) series had been broadcasted by BBC many times. When a fan group was forming Adams wrote the book. The book is also very good.

Everything starts in by destruction of the Earth to make a hyper-space by-pass. Our heroes take their towels, peanuts and a wholly remarkable copy of the electronic book "The Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy" and start hitch hiking.

This book is the best in comedy-science-fiction. But do not think it is just for fun. Read it carefully to find out it actually is a criticism of us, the Earth people.

Check out the remaining four books of the trilogy and a collection of five books in one volume in Douglas Adams page.

Philosophers are trying to find answers to simple questions like soul, God and similar subjects for centruies. Now another concept hits the headlines in the world of philosophy. Mind and Intelligence.

Hofstadter is using the works of Gödel, Escher, Bach and a few other artists and scientists to introduce you to some basic ideas. Then comes the real stuff. What is mind? What is intelligence? ... and What are the limitations of Artificial Intelligence.

In this episode, our heroes, Asterix, Obelix and Idefix join to the Caesar's army to rescue the boyfriend of a girl with whom Obelix is desperately in love.

My favorite character in this episode is the Egyptian.

If you read this you will be an immediate Asterix fan.

After I have earned enough money to buy this book I have found out that is was out of stock.

Now after all these years, they are publishing a revised version. It will be out soon.

Come on, queue in, this book should not be missed.

Programmers; this is your life, try to understand it.
