The first rule of Fight Club – you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club – you do not talk about Fight Club. … The eighth rule of Fight Club – if this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight. Honestly, I’m…
You know, I truly adore Haruki Murakami. Really, I do. I love his writing style, how you need to “push through” the first 20 or so pages of each of his books, how his characters are so imperfect, how each book, in its own way, tries to touch upon the meaning of life, whether…
Zen… one of those concepts we’ve all heard of, some people have an idea of what it might represent, and no one really knows what it actually is. There are numerous definitions and perceptions of what zen is. The idea of zen and Zen Buddhism attracted my attention because of the samurai, who experienced…
Ikigai is one of those terms (or, more accurately, concepts) that’s difficult to directly translate, similar to expressions like “maktub“, “raison d’être“, or “flow“.

In his latest work, he’s tackled Mata Hari. However, his previous book, “Manuscript Found in Accra,” left me somewhere…

He rarely gives interviews, and when he does, they tend to be vague and evasive, reminiscent of a blend between Haruki Murakami and…
Knowing that the film “Blade Runner 2049” is slowly but surely approaching, I came up with the idea to watch the first part in the coming period. I watched it a long time ago, as a kid, and it remained in my memory as a “cool” movie, but I believe there are films that…
In the case of the story collection/novellas “Stories of Your Life and Others”, I must make an exception and immediately state my verdict… well, my final impression. That is – I do not recommend buying this book at full price. There, I’ve said it, at the risk of people who have already read these…
