Heaven café

Last friday my mother was frantic to take me to this café in Heppenheim and I couldn't understand why she was so hectic but as soon as we stepped into the café, I got it. This is the most beautiful café I've ever been in, called Muse Chocolat. The decoration is the cutest thing ever, I'm guessing french renaissance? Well I'm no architectural genius, but exactly this is how I picture my future house.

 

And the food was simply art. You kinda stare at it for a while admiring the work that has been put into it.

 

 There's an open kitchen on the ground floor and you can take a look at the kitchen action while waiting for your dish.

Who wouldn't fall in love with this place? 

If you're ever in Heppenheim, I strongly recommend you to have brunch there, it's most picturesque and lovely. It's located in the Altstadt

Marktstr. 4, 64646 Heppenheim.

Books books books

I came across this article on StumbleUpon about Neil deGrasse Tyson's list of books that should be read by any intelligent person. Of course it's not meant that if you haven't read them you're a stupid person; it's more about knowing which books he considers to be enlightening for a person. And come on, it's NdT, he's a superhero in the astrophysics world.

1. The Bible. To learn that it's easier to be told by others what to think and believe than it is to think for yourself

2. The System of the World (Newton). To learn that the universe is a knowable place

3. On the Origin of Species (Darwin). To learn of our kinship with all other life on Earth

4. Gulliver's Travels (Swift). To learn, among other satirical lessons, that most of the time humans are Yahoos

5. The Age of Reason (Paine). To learn how the power of rational thought is the primary source of freedom in the world

6. The Wealth of Nations (Smith). To learn that capitalism is an economy of greed, a force of nature unto itself

7. The Art of War (Sun Tsu). To learn that the act of killing fellow humans can be raised to an art

8. The Prince (Machiavelli). To learn that people not in power will do all they can to acquire it, and people in power will do all they can to keep it

NdT said: if you read all of the above works you will glean profound insight into most of what has driven the history of the western world. Original post here

Do you agree? Are you a big fan of books? Which ones would you recommend?

A literary quest

Some of the people that know me declare that I have a temporary obsession disorder and I do. From time to time I take a particular interest on something and obsess with it for months until I've sucked the life out of it and it out of me allI let it go. It doesn't bore me at all to have this little obsessions, I do enjoy having them and learning from them. I now have a flow of several topics of interest, but as I'm reading the A Song of Ice and Fire sequel (praise George R. R. Martin) I decided to polish my literature basics.

Academic Earth is the place to quench your short obsession's thrist. I mean, you can learn from every subject you want and from the best universities. If you also take interest in Literature, here you go!
