Dinar Musa dinarvalee0b69 — A thoughtfully creative narrative, that begins as an illuminating jaunt through the explanations of belief that ends in a rather dull climax. Recommended via e-mail from SamHarris.org (in which I am recognizing a pattern that Sam Harris likes to recommend books where his blurb appears on the dust jacket; am I giving these opinions too much agenticity because I have previously read\liked his material? – more on this later), Shermer presents an interesting framework in which beliefs are constructed. Most interestingly, he proposes that we give perceived patterns (patternicity) specialized meanings (agenticity) that form what he calls a belief-dependent realism. This book succeeds in the consistent use of these concepts with applications to various forms of the human condition. From evolution, to religion, to the formulation of political affiliations, he keeps the reader interested through biological, psychological, and physiological points. Somewhat disappointingly, for as diversely he applies his belief-dependent realism proposal, the narrative seems to begin to slow severely towards the end of the work in an entirely too exhaustive example of applying the scientific model to observations of the cosmos. It is understandable the he would what to operationalize his theory, but may have been better served by shortening this anecdote and\or including other examples form the scientific community at large. Overall, a great opportunity to aid your understanding of why you or someone else could, “possibly believe such crap,” whatever your definition of ‘crap’ may be…belief-dependent realism.

Asterizco Publicidad _edesko — The Handmaid's Tale is still absolutely my favorite Margaret Atwood novel, but as with everything I've read by her, this was seamlessly, thoughtfully, and beautifully written. Anything by Atwood is a treasure.

Hamish Lewis _ash_all — A great shortened version of the novel, but missing quite a few of the action scenes from the book...especially my favorites with Medusa and the theme park. It follows the movie more than the book I think...another reason I only gave it 3, rather than, 4 stars. But it's a great read for those not ready for the full novel.
