The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the most impressive book I've ever read. I haven't got enough words to explain how deeply this book affected me. I have never read something more meaningful than this book. No modern author can write like that.
The fact that this author did not have any engineering education at all, and that he learnt everything from books in the local library make his works even more ingenious. I bow to his genius mind.
I am sorry to confess that most of us today don't have even a fraction of his practical knowledge and ingenuity.

Book review: Heir of Ra (Blood of Ra Book One) by M. Sasinowski
Heir of Ra by M. Sasinowski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Surprisingly interesting book!
I have to confess that I was surprised by this book. The ideas in it are original and interesting. The YA part is realistic and definitely not too much. The characters are nice and far from predictable.
I have to say that this book left me wanting to read the next one in the series.

Book Quotes - quote #1
I want to start a new rubric in this book. It is going to be my favourite topic - book quotes!
Every now and then when I see something worth sharing, I am going to post it here, with its respectable number.
For now, I am going to start with my all-time favourite quote:
“Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. an alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.”
― Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper
