“Wow“… that was all I could utter after finishing this short book. “A Whole Life” by Robert Seethaler caught my attention for two somewhat trivial reasons. First, because it received praises from the moment it appeared in our bookstores (though, honestly, I never paid much attention to media reviews/critiques). Second, because the book is…
This book has been spinning around the world for more than 90 years. It started as a series of pamphlets, each one a story unto itself, until they were finally compiled into one book. But is the book deserving of the “bestseller” compliment, or is it all just over-hyped? Let’s find out. 🙂 How…
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“. However, if we were to attempt a translation, it could be described as “joy due to continuous engagement“. Essentially, it refers to something akin to the meaning of our existence,…
Although I initially intended to read Dave Eggers’ “The Circle” first (rumored to be quite intriguing), I ended up with another of his books, “A Hologram for the King.” I remember in 2016 a film based on this book was released, starring Tom Hanks in the lead role.

Yes, I have heard of Vladimir Miletic. I am aware of his successful career as a director and mentor, as well as his blog where he addresses themes of success, motivation, and taking action.

Firstly, because there are too many books in these fields, and a large number of…
Horror, at least for me, is a distinct genre, particularly when it comes to books. I’ve always felt that readers need to delve deeper and exert extra effort to create that world and atmosphere of horror and dread in their minds, one that sends shivers down the spine and raises the hairs on your…
Some books you seek out, and some books find you… especially those with hard covers and sharp edges… and it’s precisely that edge that drops onto your foot. With a grumble (okay, a rather colorful swear word) I picked up the little book. “The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. A book I had…
In the fall, when the “Book Fair” arrives (though it increasingly feels more like a fair and less about books), as it does every year, our beloved Paulo Coelho prepares a new book for us. In his latest work, he’s tackled Mata Hari. However, his previous book, “Manuscript Found in Accra,” left me somewhere…
