Books: How I became stupid (Martin Page)



Renouncing his own intelligence might be the cure for Antoine. His intelligence is a disease that seperates him from his social life. By the age of 25, Antoine was at the end of the rope. Martin Page’s take us through the satire odyssey to relinquish the burden of his mind by trying different sorts of method; filling his mind with alcohol, remove the neuronal dendrite and even venture into suicide course. The 160 pages of novel take us through the roller coaster ride of his life. Every bits of suspense, idealogy presented by Antoine and the hilarious moments makes this book an A grade. Most important, we see how a person changes his life as Antoine find what defines him at the end. Life is full of challenges but is still important to accept who you really are.  Never lose sight of that.


“Quoting other people….because there are so many great writers who’ve said so many great things that no one would ever need to express their own opinion again”
“Medicine is all powerful, and has no choice but to submit to it. Going to a doctor force us to abandon any power we may have ourselves; we offer our body and dsyfunctions to the sorcery of medical science. “
“Sharks are leathally poison, but in their tissues, there are chemicals that we use to make medicines for saving lives”
“The countryside, the air, the streets, the people, everything had been affected by the violence of wars, by unemployment, disease and daily misery of human overpopulation.
“have a brilliant future,accepted into the best, most sought-after course..follow the path of success..be a CEO, be a president,.. I don’t want to get to the end of the of my life and realize I’ve never realized my dream”
“Let the new world carry him along and he even took some pleasure in it: the pleasure of freedom within a set of framework, of abandoning yourself to the flow…which obeyed every curve of the river.”
