| Such a wonderful book! Three characters narrate three times the events surrounding the life of Johnny Lim, a native of the Kinta Valley in Malaysia. Each narration adds elements to the picture, a fuzzy puzzle of intrigues, passion, power, traumas, an ...more | |

| I have to confess for the first time in my life, I couldn't finish a Murakami's book. I had a sense of deja vu in the first part, where the author brings us back to the walled city of unicorns and no shadows of "Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of ...more | |

| The Third Paradise is not a conventional book. After all, Michelangelo Pistoletto is not a conventional artist. It is a mix between a manifesto, a provocation, and a call to action. Straddling art, philosophy, and civic responsibility, it invites the ...more | |

| I fully enjoyed this novel and although quite long, the narrative flows fast like the rivers she evokes. Shafak masterfully weaves lives across time and geographies, all connected by ancient Mesopotamia. Her idea that water carries memory, trauma, an ...more | |

| I am introducing my son to Greek classics and I found Stephen Fry retelling of the Trojan War a perfect fit for a young reader (early teenage). Although at times the attempt to transform the language of the Greek and Trojan heroes in Churchillian sty ...more | |

| Larry Charles is part of American comedy's history - someone who had a massive impact of defying what is funny in American entertainment. I enjoyed reading the part on his work with Seinfeld, for which I think he contributed to the writing of some of ...more | |

| The book that introduced to the world Hercule Poirot, the first detective novel by Agatha Christie. I would say it is worth reading for this reason, rather than for its quality. It is a good "whodunit" story, but not great, as it becomes more improba ...more | |
