Ring by Suzuki Koji
“Those who have viewed these images are fated to die at this exact hour one week from now. If you do not wish to die, you must follow these instructions exactly…” I have written about Ring so many times, simply because I love it so much. The famous Japanese horror movie called Ringu is based…
Wonders of Life: Exploring the Most Extraordinary Phenomenon in the Universe by Prof. Brian Cox
“In a sense, this is all there is to the Universe! If no energy is ‘flowing’ – a colloquialism by which we mean ‘being transformed from one form to another’ – then nothing is happening at all. Here is the first step on the road to answering Schrödinger’s question – What is Life? Whatever it…
Cycle of The Werewolf by Stephen King
The dating doesn’t make sense but the power of storytelling by the great Stephen King makes everything acceptable. Cycle of the werewolf is unlike other King’s book, not in the sense of the story but from the way he writes the book. The book begins with a page filled only with a list of months…

The Cookies of Life by J.T Waliyadi
First of all, Thank you to Waliyadi for sending me the book to read and to review (despite the fact I have told you, I will write my review honestly) Without realizing his power, Yuda Hueber had turned his high school into a school full of forbidden passion and he had burned Bandung with passion…
11/22/63 by Stephen King
What will you do if you find a gate that can take you back to 1953? Will you take a chance to rewrite history and make yourself a hero? Or collect a lot of money by betting on sport? Or will be too scared to even try anything? …but what if you know every time…
Artists in Crime by Ngaio Marsh, Read by Benedict Cumberbatch
It started as a student exercise, the knife under the drape, the model’s pose chalked in place. But before Agatha Troy—artist and instructor—returns to the class, the pose has been re-enacted in earnest: the model is dead, fixed for ever in one of the most dramatic poses Troy has ever seen. It’s a difficult case…
Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto
I have seen so many review of this book, many said it was good and few said it wasn’t that good. I am curious with this book since a couple of years ago but something always distracted me and ended up picking other book from the shelf. Last week, I was in the mood for light reading…
