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.

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, Robot

I'm not writing about the movie. Yes, there's a book and this is another post of Asimov's book recommendation. This was one of the books that I bought randomly in a book sale. I saw the title and thought, why not? I've never watched the movie but I know that the book is different and the movie just uses the concepts of Asimov's Robot Laws . I, Robot is a book with a collection of short stories (that are connected) about robots and human relationship. What makes the book different of another sci-fi robot genre, is the defined concept of machine behavior. The Robot Laws or the Three Laws of Robotics or Asimov's Laws is a set of laws that define how a robot must behave. The three laws are: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such pro...

Sapiens - Part 2

When I was younger I used to eat a lot of candy in my friends' birthday parties. Sometimes I got sick for eating too much sugar, but for me it was worth. Nowadays I enjoy a piece of pie or a chocolate bar as my "candy of the week". However, there's a lot of people who still eat a lot of candy or sweet food. You probably know a few of them, right? Do you know why we eat sweet food like it was our last meal? This unhealthy habit of eating too much candy is already socially accept among us; obesity cases has also been increasing rapidly throughout the world. You probably already have watched those cake videos with a lot of chocolate and calories, and people praising it like it was an eatable food. Well, if we look to the past, the far past when our ancestors were hunter-gatherers, we can understand a bit of this situation. Sorry, I'm too hyped with this game. A long fucking time ago , about 30 thousand years, our ancestors, that lived in the savannas an...
