Rated The Son 8/10
Some dark Scandinavian crime, mostly a revenge story -- some gruesome murders but also some heroism on the part of some of the characters, some twists and turns and I think a bit of a tie-in to one of the author's previous books.
Rated Oryx and Crake 10/10

Rated Dungeon Crawler Carl 10/10
Really fun and engaging book. I could not stop reading it. It's well written and quite sarcastic. The main character is lovable and the side characters are also good.

Rated Carl's Doomsday Scenario (Dungeon Crawler Carl) 9/10
This one I read even faster than the previous one, being on holiday helps. Lots of fun. I don't know how to describe it, it's not the most original of plots, but it's so enjoyable! Maybe it's the way the characters behave.

Rated The Logic of Scientific Discovery 8/10
A really impressive work by Popper. The sheer amount of argumentation and effort going into this is astounding. However, it is also quite dense, containing a lot of logical statements and more technical philosophical language. Popper also has a sometimes-rambling writing style which is endearing and nice to read, but also lengthens the text beyond what it strictly needs to be. <br/><br/>If you are interested in getting to know about Popper's work, I advise reading the first few chapters only.
