Beautifully written essay on how OSS is developed without the constraints suffered by closed source. It talks about things that happened in the 90s and though we've are now a quarter of a century afterwards most of its points are still valid. I'd like, however, to read a similar analysis but from a community and diversity perspective and their evolution.

A novel, a story, a lettter, a collection of memories like only smells are able to take you to them. On Earth We're Briefly Georgeous is able to even feel the smells described and remember things we've not lived. I don't remember who recommended me this book, but I thank them, wherever they are. The strange style of intermixing stories, conversations and exprriences through confusing at first captivated my curiosity in a wondeful way. Thanks Little Dog

Divertida novela que hace que te rias un rato con como las mentiras se van desarrollando y haciéndose más y más grandes pero aun asi, se mantienen. Isa(bel) y Puri son geniales.

I had been thinking on the existence of novels where everything we know is different, and the clockwork rocket has most if it. How society, their physiology, their way of writing and the physics of all works differently to ours. The story touches many interesting societal issues, and power dynamics situations that are too close to our current universe, probably making the book easier to digest. The book provides a description of the different physics that rules their universe, and more details can be found in the author's website. However, their understanding is not required to enjoy the story. In fact I enjoyed more the society/academic structure and personalities than the physics. This is the first volume of a trilogy, but it has a good closure if you don't want to continue with the rest.

You may have get here like me, after learning that the movie was based on this book. You won't be disappointed (or maybe you will, I wasn't!!) Shrek can emit heat rays from his eyes. Amazing! The illustrations are simple but great, and the text is superb.

Five different stories in five chapters that are connected through the library and it's librarian. Each story features different characters at different phases of their lives. You'll probably feel connected with one or multiple characters during your life, maybe learn some new cooking recipes, or find other interesting books to read.

Está historia de Gila me ha parecido muy interesante. Yo que apenas lo recordaba de algún espectáculo de fin de año y que a mí abuela le encantaba cuando salía por la televisión, no me esperaba una vida tan interesante y llena de cambios y dificultades. El libro me ha hecho reír bastante, también han habido momentos de sufrimiento. A Gila, en este libro, de vez en cuando, cuesta seguirlo porque cuenta varias historias a la vez. Lo que dificulta seguir los hechos cronologicamente. Deseando ver la película basada en este libro.

Chris Van Tulleken tells us a lot of what's wrong with the food we eat, and he does it from many different angles. Each of them based on a personal experience, interview, or study review.

⚠️ Reading this book may affect the way you look at those edible substances or there.

Long time I didn't feel so hooked to a book like with this one. I really loved how the story evolved, and enjoyed the personality of the various characters (always seen from Raquel's eyes). A truly teenager adventure story that adults with a young spirit will fully enjoy it.
