  Are Aliens Running the Game in Gallimore’s Alien Information Theory?

  I got this book after finishing Andrew's Psychedelic Neuroscience Master Course on his YouTube channel shortly after it was published, but only found time to read it now. It's super interesting both visually and conceptually, though the science parts — specifically how information flows from the micro to macro layers of our reality — could sometimes be clearer. Still, this is an essential book for anyone interested in understanding how the brain works under the influence of psychedelics, or those curious about a theory proposing that life in our reality is a game influenced by aliens. Sounds crazy, doesn't it?

  How much can I forgive to villains in Barker's 'The Damnation Game'?

  Since reading Barker's Weaveworld by chance around 20 years ago, which I loved, I've been in and out of the Barker worlds. This year, thinking I should go back in time, I read his first novel, The Damnation Game. The book was well written but also made me wonder why I am reading these horror, supernatural books.

  Most, hogy életem felét már lassan külföldön töltöm, néha próbálom a nemzeti identitásomat kutatni, talán gyógyítani is. Reméltem, hogy Csernus könyve segít majd. Segített is, de nem úgy, ahogy arra számítottam – és lehet, hogy pont ez volt az író terve: hogy konfrontálódjak néhány hülyeségemmel ... meg az övéivel.

  Expected more from 'A Little History of Poetry' by John Carey

  After reaching out to my friend, who used to write English poetry, I received two books in the post from him. One was Carey's book, which we hoped would give me a crash course on poetry. In short, I liked it but also expected more; a broader overview and more insights on how and why schools or movements of poetry changed. Still, I learnt a lot.

  I found Barker's Weaveworld by chance around 20 years ago and loved it. This year, I read another of his works, Galilee, which had less fantasy and perhaps more romance. This review contains spoilers, so it's mainly for people who have read the book and want to compare notes.
