of
Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike:
"Quite funny if you like Chekhov, but really really gets let down at the end with a liberal boomer-esque “WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOUNG PEOPLE - WE ALL USED TO BE HAPPY IN THE 50s!!!!” nonsense. "

of
The End of Time: The Next Revolution in Our Understanding of the Universe:
"Lee Smolin, one of the greatest modern scientists, has done work with Julian, and the last book I read of Lee's was in part a response to this one. To argue with a colleague not with an email or a phone call, but book against book, seems the path of "

| It's as funny and opinionated as you'd expect. But it's infuriating that the British publisher of my edition has used the American 'translation', even changing the author's own words as well as the spellings, which is jarring for such a quintessentia ...more | |
