Superfluously graphic at predictable intervals. Incredible presence of deus ex. Patches of shoddy translation. Despite this, I still enjoyed it. Made me feel giddy, or something. ]]> <![CDATA[Robin added 'Naive Set Theory']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59408819 Naive Set Theory (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics) by Paul R. Halmos

I don't feel as if I understood the point of the book. It certainly is engrossing, however... I do not understand everything there is to be understood. Maybe I'll give it another shot sometime. Probably not though.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that this book is one of existentialism. Numerous red herrings are thrown in to misdirect your attention, but ultimately there is no purpose. ]]> <![CDATA[New Fanship update]]> <![CDATA[Robin added 'The Bus Driver Who Wanted To Be God & Other Stories']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65410871 to: The Bus Driver Who Wanted To Be God & Other Stories (Paperback) by Etgar Keret

Another key aspect of Objectivism seems to be that smoking is good for you. ]]> <![CDATA[Robin added 'The Last Lecture']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61006554 to: The Last Lecture (Hardcover) by Randy Pausch
