Metamorphosis - Part 2

I thought that the Greg's metamorphosis was just a dream or something like that. How can a family do nothing about his transformation?

Sorry, this time I forgot to take a picture inside the bus :(

I really don't know in which year the book happens, but the family was afraid of his transformation and they didn't nothing about. Where's the scientists? Where's the doctors? Police? There's a human-size insect inside their house and they just pretend that Greg will be back. I suspect that this isn't the point of this book, I know there's more. I think that the point of this book is the family bound around the main character. The way Greg thinks and speaks with himself about how much he wants to work and make his family stable again, how his sister is helping him in someway, how lucid he is, even being a giant insect, is probably the message that Franz Kafka wants to leave.

I already read 66% of the book and the final of the last chapter, Greg's father hit he with apples and Greg is with apple attached to him.

Sapiens - Part 4

I'm reading Sapiens almost 5 days a week, but not so much as I liked (I'm so into Game of Thrones book). The book is divided in short chapters and these make up a "Part", the currently one talks about money, empires and religion. This post is about money! (I don't know if I'll write about empires or religions). In the previous post about Sapiens' book, I wrote about the beginning of Agricultural Revolution and how our ancestors began to form larger groups of people. There are three universal orders which helped to form groups even bigger; groups that could live under the same set of laws: "The first universal order was Economic : the monetary order. The second one was Political : the imperial order. The third universal order was Religious : the religious orders as Buddhism, Christianity and Islamism." (Adapted from the book - Position 2678 (Kindle)) All these universal orders has a thing in common: A mass of people believing in somethin...

My experience with Coffee - Part 1

It's pretty common parents to offer different foods to their children. Sometimes it's their intention that the young one start eating these food; for me it wasn't different. Though, I didn't like coffee at all, I hated. The bitter-taste was awful and I felt sick for short period of time. Thanks mom and dad! My great experience with coffee began in university. I had classes in varying periods of the day, so it was more practical stay the entire day at the college than go back home. As an academic, I didn't have enough money to spend in good food.. so soda or coffee was the cheap way to stay wake up the entire day to study, and coffee was the cheaper than soda and more healthy. If I enjoyed bitter-taste or not it didn't matter for me that time, I had to drink coffee if I want to stay awake and study. As you can see, my first and second experience weren't great at all. But, as I written, my great experience with coffee began in university. It was a fight...

My 2018 Book List

In December of 2016 I bought an Amazon Kindle. It was great because I could read a bunch of books (some heavy ones) without have to carry them. However, in 2017 I read some books by random choice. I didn't have any goal on mind, I was just picking some books by friends recommendations and read them. This year I choose some books with a goal in mind! My 2018 Book List A book from each continent : North America: Boston: A Gentleman in Moscow - Amor Towles South America: Brazil: Água Viva - Clarice Lispector Asia: Israel: Sapiens - Yuval Noah Harari Europe: Germany: The Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka Africa: South Africa: Disgrace - John Maxwell Coetzee Oceania: New Zealand: The Luminaries - Eleanor Catton Books to pimp my mind (finan, math, biology, phisics, etc) : Investimentos Inteligentes - Gustavo Cerbasi The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives - Leonard Mlodinow The Universe in a Nutshell - Stephen Hawki...
