Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
5.0
This is by far my favorite classics of all time!!! The characters, the humorous conversations, the twists, the ending!!!
The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
4.0
⭐ 3.5/5
I have never read a character as conflicted as Newland Archer. He was like, "I support feminism but I'm still gonna cheat on my wife." The ending saved all of my ranting and raging though.

The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli
3.0
What did I get from reading this book?
• There is no such thing as past, present, and future; hence time is an illusion
• I need to find out how many theories did Einstein have because it seems like a lot (it's 7 according to google)
• Depression and inability to sleep because I keep questioning my existence.
Overall, Carlo Rovelli is a delightfully poetic and philosophical scientific guide and this is a good book. It's just my brain needed to adjust itself from reading too much fiction to read this one.

Kira-Kira by Cynthia Kadohata

This book gave me feelings like I was reading my first novel when I was a kid. It felt like a big warm hug and a whisper "it's okay, everything will be fine."
The Idiot by Elif Batuman
4.0
It tells a story about a Turkish girl named Selin. She was a freshman at Harvard. Isn't that interesting already? This is a slow-paced book and I'm not a big fan of slow-paced books. But, this one is an exception.
I kinda lost the plot on the first pages since it told a story about Selin's daily life; it went to the details on the classes she took and re-tells a story of Nina in Serbia. However, I had no idea what major she took because she went to literature class, Russian, even math?! I just figured out that she took linguistic on the very last page

buku terakhir tentang G30S yang saya baca. dari buku ini akhirnya saya tahu mana sejarah yang bisa saya yakini dan tidak. buku wajib untuk semua orang, terutama yang sudah ditipu oleh para perekayasa sejarah!
