Book of the Month in
Welcome to our bookstore, the home of best books
and craziest links.
June 1999 : The Psychology
of Computer programming : IT IS OUT. GO GO GO..... Do not miss
the 25th Anniversary re-print.
May 1999 : Selfish
Gene : The mystery of my life solved. I am just a poor robot.
A carrier of my genes and nothing more.. Booohuuuuuu!!!!
April 1999 : New Life
: Orhan Pamuk does it again. When shall I read a Pamuk book
that I will undertand without reading two other books trying to explain
it? Pufffff.
March 1999 : Zen Speaks
: Shouts of Nothingness : After a trip to Bangkok and some
meditation in the Budhist temples, this book is elected from my collection
as the book of the months. If my wife ever decides to put her books in
my bookstore, the pages will overflow with Budhist stuff.
February 1999 : 2010
: Jupiter turns into sun. Just what we need in a cold winter day.
January 1999 : Immortality
: Kundera describes the secret for immortality. Unfortunately, the
idea of being immortal revolves around being very mortal. Life sucks.
December 1998 : The
Blind Watchmaker : Darwin had always been a source of trouble
for the faithfull. Dawkins turns this into a well orginised attack against
the idea that "the God created the life on Earth." Also a good book to
give as a birthday present to a molecular biologist. Happy birthday Serpil.
November 1998 : Emperor's
New Mind : Each day one misses the fine details of life, but
the life is always there to fill the gap. Yesterday (much before you hit
this page but sometime in Nov 98) I heard on the radio that Madonna will
play the Empress in "Emperor's New Clothes", an old tale where Emperor
walks naked and only a small boy has the courage to say "Look, Emperor
has no clothes". Only then I realised the meaning of the title of this
book that I owned for at least seven years. Penrose thinks he is the boy
saying "Those computers have no mind". Good luck pal.
October 1998 : Lewis
Carroll : The Complete Illustrated Works : Don't let the memory
die / Children of the sky, heroes of the sea... / And as you life passes
by / Remember how it feels to be / Children of the sky (Mike Batt - Hunting
of the Snark)
September 1998 : In
Search of Big Bang : If you find you religion's explanation
of the creation a little odd, prepare yourself for the oddest.
August 1998 : Shoot
the Women First: Oh my God. This month my site is under attack
from feminists claiming that I do not have enough female writers in the
bookstore. Well, here is one female writing about females.
July 1998 : Computer
Ethics : Bad boys are carrying shooters, on the streets of
Deptford tonight...
June 1998 : Asterix
the Legionary : USA discovers Asterix.
May 1998 : The Mind's
I : Clever. Very clever. I re-read portions of this book. "Is
god a Taoist?" and "The Ant Fuge" are perfect.
April 1998 : Utopia
: I bought a car and the carseller had this book on his desk. "What a strange
combination!!!"
March 1998 : Nemesis
: TRACES of a distant planet named "Nemesis" is found by space scientists.
And nemesis is in a collision course with our Earth. Arif olan anlar artık,
başka ne diyebilirim.
February 1998 : Starship
Titanic : A book written for Douglas Adams. He is now paying
off people to write books on his behalf. Lazy.
January 1998 : Life
is Elsewhere : Milan Kundera's novell is a classic example
of his unusual writing style. The incredible transformation of the whole
meaning of the novel in the last two chapters is the expected "unexpected".
