BRZRKR 1 “Time is a strange thing.” – B You know, I’m not that crazy about comics… somehow that phase bypassed me as a kid. As I got older I followed some manga/manhwa online and that’s that… though, considering the convenience of the digital/mobile age, comics can now become an interesting hobby too… if…
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time For a large number of people, “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time” (jpn. “Toki o Kakeru Shōjo”) is probably associated with the animated film from 2006, which won audience sympathy. However, this title reaches far back into the past. “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time” was originally published in…
The Emperor’s Soul The name Brandon Sanderson is not unknown to fans of science and/or epic fantasy. The creator of the Cosmere universe, who popularized the terms “hard magic and soft magic,” also finished Robert Jordan’s popular series “The Wheel of Time.” His name is known even to those who haven’t read his books… like…
The Song of Achilles When it comes to choosing books, for me (I believe, and for a good number of other people) it’s based on two approaches: either I choose a book intuitively/instinctively (i.e., something strongly attracts me to the title) or I’ve previously researched the book, reviews and the like (though I apply this…
Rebel (The Legend Series) *(Note: This book connects quite closely to the original Marie Lu trilogy. If you haven’t read the previous books, or read them long ago and forgot, here you can read my reviews of the previous three books to remind yourself what happened. The reviews follow the chronological order of the books:…
Men Without Women [Text started somewhere in spring 2017, preserved in original, without any changes] Haruki Murakami is a specific beast in the world of prose. People experience him either as a genius or as literature’s oddball. But the fact is his works leave no one indifferent. I consider myself his admirer. For me his…
After Dark What’s the probability that to the question “Which author first comes to mind, if the writing style is such that you’re not sure at what moment reality and fantasy begin to overlap, and you’re no longer sure what’s what” you’d answer with Haruki Murakami? 😀 Maybe it wouldn’t even be a surprise that…
First Person Singular There are some writers you simply either love or don’t. I’d say Haruki Murakami is one of those writers. When you start reading him for the first time, I think page twenty-something is decisive, and then you declare his (any) novel strange and incomprehensible… or it enchants you and draws you into…
The Graveyard Book Neil Gaiman is always a welcome guest on this blog. So far we’ve hung out with him through his classic “American Gods” and the incredibly fun “Norse Mythology.” But now we’re going to, for a change, dive into an unusually fairy-tale-like (and slightly twisted) world… whose plot mostly takes place in a…
American Gods Next year it will be exactly 20 years since Neil Gaiman’s American Gods first appeared, a book that very quickly became an instant classic. It swept up every major award you can sweep up in the realms of sci-fi and fantasy (Hugo, Nebula, Locus, Bram Stoker…), and it’s been showered with top ratings…
