Cherry Blossoms, Sushi and Takarazuka by Jill Rutherford
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I really liked this book, the story of this British woman that opens an English School in a Japanese town was interesting and fascinating in a way that it is only possible if you are already "taken" by Japan and its strange world. It is like that for me so I really had fun reading it.

Mi é piaciuto davvero questo libro, la storia di una signora inglese che apre una scuola di lingua in una cittá giapponese, é stata affascinante ed interessante, a patto che il lettore sia giá preda di una precedente fascinazione nei confronti del paese del sol levante. Per me é cosí quindi mi ha divertito leggerlo.

Non sperate di liberarvi dei libri by Umberto Eco
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Speravo in qualcosa di meglio, ma in realtá questo dialogo tra bibliofili puó essere apprezzato solo in parte da chi non condivide la stessa passione per i libri super rari o particolarissimi. Mi piace di piú quando Eco parla di letteratura in quanto trovo le storie piú interessanti del Medium.

Review: Letters to Molly

Letters to Molly by Devney Perry
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This one resonates with me more than the first one, but it was still a little bit "too unbelievable" in some of its parts. Anyway it was just a 2 books series and I am done with it.

Questo mi é piaciuto piú del primo, ma a volte mi sembrava altrettanto "incredibile". Comunque era una serie composta da soli due libri e anche questa è andata.

Zen: The Gateless Way by Yamada Koun

Zen: The Gateless Way by Yamada Koun
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Very clear and interesting, not so many new information anyway but the old ones are delivered in such an easy way that makes the whole book worth reading.

Molto chiaro ed interessante, per quanto non ci siano poi informazioni "nuove", gli argomenti che hanno a che fare con lo Zen sono spiegati in modo cosí chiaro che rendono il libro degno di essere letto.

Review: How to Argue With a Racist: What Our Genes Do (and Don't) Say About Human Difference

How to Argue With a Racist: What Our Genes Do (and Don't) Say About Human Difference by Adam Rutherford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Author takes his cue from the recent riots in America, and the Black lives matters movement, to offer an extremely scientific and accurate explanation of why the concept of race is completely wrong and has neither scientific basis nor reason to be.
Very interesting, especially when it offers examples used by racist idiots, who usually turn out to be even more stupid than those who use them, if possible.

L'Autore prende spunto dai recenti disordini accaduti in America, e dal movimento Black lives matters, per offrire una spiegazione estremamente scientifica ed accurata sulla ragione per cui il concetto di razza é completamente sbagliato e non ha né base scientifica né ragione di essere.
Molto interessante, specialmente quando offre esempi utilizzati dai razzisti cretini, che di solito si rivelano ancora piú stupidi di chi li utilizza, se possibile.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Fascinating book about the power of Self-hypnosis, how to think yourself thin so that your subconscious mind believes that and helps you to obtain your target.

Libro affascinante sulle tecniche di auto-ipnosi da utilizzare per convincere il tuo subconscio che il tuo vero corpo é magro, in modo da aiutarti ad ottenerlo.
