![]() The title – ‘ Eleven Minutes’ – stems from the, on average, 11 minutes of physical intimacy that a male provides. The cynicism in me expected a dark turn, although Coelho takes this prejudice towards prostitution and normalises the profession. Ironically, it is her knowledge that eventually leads her to find love. ![]() Coelho sets out in the preface of the book that this book is unlike any other he has written, with the storyline being centred around a Brazilian woman who finds herself in Switzerland working as a prostitute, living off of her beauty. This book is uniquely written, as it almost reads like a thesis, though the scenes play out before you, and each chapter ends with a diary extract.

Dusk was falling as the boy arrived with his herd at an abandoned church. ![]() I was certainly intrigued by the atmosphere of the opening paragraph: This edition is translated from the Portuguese by Alan Clarke – I don’t know if there are mutliple translations out there. Well, my book group chose this book and I borrowed a copy from my brother Colin, who hadn’t been enthusiastic in his mini review of it. Except that I’ve always got it mixed up with Perfume by Patrick Suskind, which I also hadn’t read. I’d obviously heard of The Alchemist (1988) by Paulo Coelho, but I couldn’t tell you a lot about it. It always feels slightly different to read a book that is a worldwide bestseller. ![]() ![]() No victory can come without sacrifice-and only she can face the oncoming storm.

I liked the book, even if some events leading up to the "reveal" are questionable. And just like that SF, there is a kernel of contemplation at the heart of this book: contemplation of empire, and colonization, and what it looks like when absolute rulers are truly corrupted. ![]() ![]() ![]() It sounds silly, but in context it is monstrous, and as the stories add context and background, it becomes almost horrific.Īt the same time, there is a lot of heroic rebelling and dimensional bubbles and space-men among the primitives stuff reminiscent of "golden age" SF in the US. We are introduced to the empire via the "hair carpet weavers" of the title-a generational caste of men who spend their entire lives weaving a single, immensely intricate, carpet out of the hair of the women in their families. This is a collection of connected short stories unveiling the history of an intergalactic empire with a rotten piece of madness at its core. I was clearly wrong, because this is good, old-fashioned SF. It's interesting to read a book like this in German because I thought they didn't really have a lot of good old fashioned SF there. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the tradition of Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel and Neil Shubin's Your Inner Fish, This Is Your Brain on Parasites is both a journey into cutting-edge science and a revelatory examination of what it means to be human. Political, social, and religious differences among societies may be caused, in part, by the different parasites that prey on us. Our obsession with cleanliness and our experience of disgust are both evolutionary tools for avoiding infection, but they evolved differently for different populations. And more surprising still, she uncovers the decisive role that parasites may have played in the rise and demise of entire civilizations. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this mind-bending book, McAuliffe reveals the eons-old war between parasites and other creatures that is playing out in our very own bodies. In fact, a plethora of parasites affect our behavior in ways we have barely begun to understand. "Based on a wildly popular Atlantic article: an astonishing investigation into the world of microbes, and the myriad ways they control how other creatures - including humans - act, feel, and think As we are now discovering, parasites - microbes that cannot thrive and reproduce without another organism as a host - are shockingly sophisticated and extraordinarily powerful.
