The Most Uncomfortably relatable Book You’ll Read This Year" – The Church of Common Sense Book Title Review

A razor-sharp, genre-defying gut-punch of truth. 🤯📖 For thinkers who crave raw honesty wrapped in dark humor. #PhilosophicalRebellion #ExistentialLaughs #WakeUpCall

The Church of Common Sense isn’t a book—it’s a Molotov cocktail of ideas, hurled at the absurdity of modern life, and you’re absolutely invited to the explosion.

Where do I even start with this? Michael Karlsen-Williksen has crafted something that feels like if Kafka, Douglas Adams, and a rogue AI had a midnight brainstorming session. Calling it a “philosophical novella” is like calling the ocean “damp”—it’s technically true but misses the deluge. The premise—a conversation between a human and an AI—sounds sci-fi, but it’s really a Trojan horse for existential satire, social critique, and moments of startling poetic clarity.

That opening image—a child waving to a world too distracted to wave back—hits like a sucker punch. From there, it spirals into education systems, broken truths, and a kind of humor that’s less “ha-ha” and more “oh-god-I’m-laughing-but-it-hurts.” It’s brutal in its relevance, especially in our age of endless scrolling and performative wokeness.

What’s genius is how it refuses to fit neatly into any genre. Too raw for self-help, too deep for pure satire, too funny to be academic—it’s a category of its own. And that 5-star rating (albeit from one brave soul) suggests it’s resonating hard with whoever dares to pick it up.

Rating: 5 loft (because any book that makes me question reality and snort-laugh deserves a standing ovation).

P.S. Read this when you’re ready to have your worldview gently (then violently) shaken. 🌍💥

Across Three Continents: A Tale of Power, Deception, and the Brutal Shadow of Slavery

A mesmerizing historical epic that masterfully weaves truth with lies through an unreliable narrator whose ambition knows no bounds. Agawu-Kakraba's "The Restless Crucible" burns with unforgettable intensity! 🌍📜🔥 #HistoricalFiction #AfricanDiaspora #SlaveTradeNarrative Freedom fighter or opportunistic villain? In Yaw Agawu-Kakraba's spellbinding historical novel "The Restless Crucible," the answer depends entirely on who's telling the story. From the moment we meet Pedro de Barbosa—self-described ex-slave, con artist, slave trader, warmonger, and lover—we're pulled into a narrative that brilliantly challenges our understanding of truth itself. What begins as Pedro's memoir quickly reveals itself as something far more complex and fascinating. Agawu-Kakraba employs a truly innovative narrative structure where the omniscient narrator eventually wrests control from Pedro, exposing the protagonist's manipulations and fantasies for what they t...
