Very fun

DOAWK really cures your reading slump. People often say that the series has become very unrealistic compared to the old DOAWK, but I'm more of a fan of over-the-top adventures so I tend to really like the newer books in the series. And it was funny too, I giggled a lot! My problems were only on overreliance on bathroom humor in some parts and some parts were a bit too unrealistic in my opinion. Other than that, I loved it!

Stewart, Ian: Taming the Infinite (Paperback, 2009, Hodder & Stoughton)

From ancient Babylon to the last great unsolved problems, an acclaimed mathematician and popular science …

I like it!

Stewart talks about some really interesting stuff in this book, but it sometimes dragged on too much. That and the mistakes in formatting (Is that what you call it?), spelling, etc. in the 8th edition of the Turkish translation (published by Alfa) made it harder to read (I FINISHED THIS BOOK IN MORE THAN A YEAR). It's great otherwise!

reviewed Otisabi - Manga Serisi 2 by Yılmaz Aslantürk (Otisabi Manga Serisi, #2)

Yılmaz Aslantürk: Otisabi - Manga Serisi 2 (Paperback, Turkish language, 2022, Komikşeyler)

Pretty good

I love Aslantürk's art, especially his linework! Story-wise, some aspects were well... questionable, but it's an improvement compared to the first book!

Stephen Hawking: Black Holes: The Reith Lectures

It was very fun

I'm not very interested in space and astronomy, but I enjoyed this book a lot! Very clear explanations and some nice drawings here and there.

The Turkish translation has some foreword/background information written by Kerem Cankoçak. That too was well-written. I advise you to not skip it as it contains some very useful info.
