Identity and Violence - The Illusion of Destiny by Amartya Sen.
The book magnificently deals with the issue of violence in the world mainly due to hatred with each other's identity whether it is religion or sect. A masterpiece. I give it 4/4 rating.

Book 1. I've read The adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. This was a Christmas gift my sister in law gave me this year so I read it again. Since I have read it as a child it was a very pleasant reintroduction as an adult to the world of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn that I didn't remember as such a random tale. In my opinion, little Tom should be medicated or something, poor aunts, I understand them so much now I would cry for them. On the other hand, Huck was such an innocent and good child he deserved nothing but the best on his life! I could strangle his father! I guess Clemens thought like that first. All in all, recommend it to the younger readers! 4/5

The Devil pulls the strings by J.W.Zarek

It was amazing, loved the content, the mystery, the thrills. Everything was just in unique harmony. Boone Daniels is something 😅 and I love how keen he is on promises, makes me want to be a lot more like him.

The last book I read was Lorian by Gunnar Hedman.
I gave it a rating of 2 out of 4 stars because because generally the book failed to live up to its description as an outer space fantasy. It was a fantasy but it was based on an alien planet and not in outer space, and that was disappointing.

Book 2: The pillars of the earth by Ken Follet.
This is not a novel for those who cannot bear the descriptions of mutilations, group rapes, and in itself the misogynist look towards these ideas and their justification.
It could be said that all the barbaric events come as the natural answer to what is allowed in the period where the story is contextualized, but this would only be a poor justification for the misogynistic and repulsive descriptions that the author decided to write throughout more than a thousand pages. (Who cares how many fingers you put inside a girl's vagina before raping her? Or, whether the brains did or did not come out of the skull after stabbing it five times?) Nothing can justify this more than the focus the author himself has on those matters and that makes me conclude once again: Some men should be forbidden to write.
It is a very long book to put up with things like this.
Also, if even half of the sex scenes had been omitted, it would have gone to 500 pages very easily.
But in the end, the story has a closed conclusion and all the ends are tied by the end as well, so I must admitted that it is well structured. What's more, it would have been a really good story, one that I would have been happy to recommend to everyone, if only someone else had written it. 2/5

The last book I read was "Randy the irresistible" by SM Goodier. I rated the book 3 out of 4 stars. I actually enjoyed the adventure of trying to make decisions for yourself as a young adult. I love Randy's personality

I am about halfway through the wheel of time series. It is one of my favorite books to read and I go through the 14 book series every few years. Obviously, I would rate this series 4 out of 4 stars. I annoy all of my friends with my obsessiveness.

The last book I’ve read was Kalayla and I gave it a 3 out of 4! I loved the story but I felt like it was a bit rushed towards the end. Still, I got emotionally attached to the characters especially Kalayla I love how witty she is and remarks are super funny
