I just finished "The A B C Murders", an epic novel by Agatha Christie.
Agatha Christie is a genius writer who combines human psychology and science, the result is wonderful!
I sometimes wonder why I cannot find any better story than the classic ones. It seems that we had better writers in the old days!
Today most of novels are romance or sci-fi but I think they are not as good as the classic ones. Still you can find a lot of mysteries in the market and there are a huge number of characters but no one can be as good as Poirot!
The story in This book is rather different from the TV series "Agatha Christie's Poirot", Japp is a main character in the series while in the novel he has not a significant role however I must admit they’ve chosen the best actors for the novel's characters! In the TV series Poirot, Hastings, Mr Cust and Japp are as exactly as they should be and It is obvious that David Suchet is still the best Poirot!

"The Old Man and the Sea" is probably the most famous book of Hemingway.
This novel brought him the Nobel Prize but honestly I didn't like the book.
It's a kind of a monologue and it is boring too! the novel shows us a special situation but it does not tell an interesting story.
I've read "The Sun Also Rises" before, it's another famous novel by this author but I didn't like that too. Hemingway's stories move at a very slow speed which makes you sleepy!
P.S: The only thing I like about "The Old Man and the Sea" is its cover!

The brain plays an important role in our everyday life. It's the center of our world!
I usually wonder why most of the people prefer celebrity gossips to this important matter and talk less about the brain!
With this idea I decided to study an acclaimed book, "The Brain" by the renowned neuroscientist Dr.David Eagleman.
This book will put our assumptions under the spotlight so that we can think about ourselves in a new way.
I can understand from ''The Brain" that as each person has a uniqe experience in his life, every person has a uniqe mind!
This book is like a journey in which you can learn more about yourself. You'll see how the brain works and interacts with other brains for building a community. The author tells us how the future looks like if we understand more about the brain.
In the last chapter you'll face different theories as an answer to the popular question "Can a computer think?"

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time
Christopher is a teenage boy who can explain everything in a logical way. Sometimes When I was reading the book I wondered how simple the life is and we're surrounded by complicated and useless definitions!
This is an extraordinary novel with a gripping story and I enjoyed every single page of it.
Mark Haddon, the author, has a spare but powerful writing style. The novel shows you how life looks like when you are an autistic person.
It is a funny story and full of adventures for a sharp and brilliant mind however it has sad moments so that you'd remember that it could be a real story!
