Reading
Babylon
Imagining the huge Tower of Babylon just took my breath. How can tower be long enough for one to climb for more than four months? When Hillalum first pass the moon I thought I read it wrong. And this mixture of science and old myth produce exotic and somehow divine feature till the end. Never imagined that Yahweh would let me know their place like this.
Understand
It starts with a special treatment that many of us probably thought of at least once in our lives and it gets serious as the story goes on til it reaches the latter part which remind me of the movie "Lucy." At first I thought the whole story may be some kind of hallucination of Leon and he finally woke up and realizes that everything wasn't real. Well the story does not goes like that haha. As Leon become super intelligent, the vocabularies he uses were quite difficult so it took me three days for me to read this short story and still I'm not sure I understand it properly. But as I mentioned on the above, the latter part, especially when Leon and Reynolds got in to a fight it reminds me of the movie 'Lucy' which I enjoyed much.
