Review: Metamagical Themas: Questing For The Essence Of Mind And Pattern

Avis d'utilisateur  - Michelle - Goodreads

Totally incredible. If you want to get closer to/further away from understanding the world and yourself while being entertained and amazed, read this book. Or just parts of it. It's a series of columns on different topics, no need to be intimidated by the 800 pages. Consulter l'avis complet

This book will definitely exercise your little gray cells. I've been working on it since last August, about 30 minutes a day while I eat my lunch at work. Consulter l'avis complet
