Bryan Agudelo laztdigital — I will always love the Blythes and I am with them in my heart, but the rest of my convictions are with old Whiskers-on-the-Moon, that scorned and traitorous pacifist.

Nhuan Kk nhuankkbf8c — This is the most intellectually expansive and unified books I've ever read. Whether you're a "big ideas" person or someone who relishes details about anthropology, linguistics, and biology, you will enjoy Diamond's take on the climactic and geological reasons behind why some civilizations become dominant and others fade.

Himanshu Sachdeva himanshusachdeva — The Gods Themselves is quite a book! I have not read much of Asimov lately since chewing up his Robot and Foundation books and End of Eternity, Currents of Space, etc. This 1972 story is a Hugo award winner and is not surprising. Summary: I won't summarize the whole story but there were several parts that really intrigued me. The story starts with an accidental discovery where a tungsten mineral suddenly turns into a potassium material that is unheard-of in this universe. The discoverer takes all the credit and is arrogant about it. The rest of that part of the story deals with those who don't tow the line and accept his discoveries just because everyone else does. I like stories where one man bucks the system and does not accept a theory just because "everyone" else does. This is such a tale. The second part deals with the aliens in the "para-Universe". These alien men and women discovered our universe and encouraged us to create the Electron Pump, that creates energy for both universes but may have the unfortunate side-effect of blowing our Sun up! Asimov goes into great detail about the family units of that universe, the trio that mates to form a baby, and what is needed and expected from each of that society. And just as in the first part, the alien protagonists in the second part are also refusing to a greater or lesser extent to follow protocol or run up against accepted policy. The themes of betrayal, societal demands, jealousy and professional image (shallow as it is) are throughout the novel. Its only weak point for me was the explanation of the science was a bit too wordy and could have been simplified. Great novel!
