Not many books make you go Wow for every single page you read. Ever since I started “Sapiens” it has been a series of wonderment that are never ending!!! How can a book be so organized and so matter of fact, for a topic that is all encompassing the human kind!! Wonder how many years the author took to write this book and the editor deserves a Pulitzer. I am halfway through and I literally have to force myself to logoff from the book, at the risk of missing my stopping. If anyone has a mind and wants it to get blown, this would be the book. Period. Personally, I don’t read too many books and from what I’ve read this is by far the best of the lot. Whenever I read any chapter the next minute I want to write a post about it. Every single chapter is having so much content and so much of information to analyse and discuss that, this book deserves a blogspot of its own!! I could relate to so many analogies, thought processes, facts and information mentioned on the book and the inferences derived that at times it feels as if the book is talking to me!! For all the controversial topics that have been handled so far, nowhere else have I read an more believable and factual representation. Be it on caste, religion, politics, evolution of social behavior, every topic is so reasonably argued that, this book is whole lot damn convincing than some of the best speakers I have listened to. The way it connects with present day happenings, be it personal, professional or political, it is so very realistic and relatable. I guess the last time I was gushing over a book like this was “A man called Ove” and the ending messed it up for me. Hope this one lives up to the expectation it has been continuously raising.
This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl's every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style. This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they...
