کسی در اندیشه برگردان Stephen Hawking - The Grand Design
The Grand Design کتاب خوبی است، به ویژه با همراهی نویسنده و ریاضی‌دان بسیار خوب دیگر Leonard Mlodinow.
ولی روی هم رفته کتاب تاثیر چندان ژرف و جاودانه‌ای ندارد و فکر می‌کنم انرژی روی بازگردانی کتاب دیگری بگذاریم بهتر باشد.
اما برای God is Not Great، من این چند روزه تلاش کردم بازگردانی را دنبال کنم، ولی نکته‌ای که متوجه
شدم بی‌اندازه کسل‌کننده و روده‌درازی نویسنده در بیان جزییات بی‌شماری است که در فرهنگ ما ایرانیان
اصولا از خود نمودی ندارند که برای خواننده جالب و انگیزه دهنده باشند. برای نمونه، فصل چهارم :
شاید اگر دیگر دوستان نگاه بیاندازند، بهتر باشد یک کتاب بهتر و نزدیک‌تر به فرهنگ خودمان پیدا کنیم؟
In several countries, including El Salvador, warring combatants had proclaimed cease-fires in order
to allow the inoculation teams to move freely. Extremely poor and
backward countries had mustered the resources to get the good news
to every village: no more children need be killed, or made useless and
miserable, by this hideous disease. Back home in Washington, where
that year many people were still fearfully staying indoors after the
trauma of 9/11, my youngest daughter was going dauntlessly door to
door on Halloween, piping "Trick or Treat for UNICEF" and healing
or saving, with every fistful of small change, children she would
never meet.

خواننده ایرانی بی‌گمان نمی‌تواند بفهمد که نویسنده در اینجا اصلا چه می‌گوید!
فصل چهارم برای من آن اندازه کسل کننده بود که آن را به کل
صرف‌نظر کردم، فصل پنجم (The Metaphysical Claims of Religion Are False) نیز اما چیز چندان جالب‌تری برای ارائه نداشت:
I am a man of one book.

Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, who managed to seize a
moment of crisis and use it to enshrine Enlightenment values in the
founding documents of the United States of America.
He was a Franciscan (in other words, an acolyte of the aforementioned
mammal who was said to have preached to birds) and thus
conditioned to a radical approach to poverty, which brought him into
collision with the papacy in Avignon in 1324.
