The Karate Kid

Like the Wolfman, the Karate Kid is a remake of its predecessor of the same name, except that this time around, its not karate anymore, its Chinese Kung-Fu, and the protagonist is now an 12-year old kid who gets severe lovesickness (I mean c'mon, a 12 year old kid swooning over someone already? I know kids nowadays mature fast, but this?)

The Catcher in the Rye

Originally published in 1951 for adults, this novel has since been translated into almost all languages available to the world. And from what I understand, it's a rather popular work, selling almost 250, 000 copies each year. Considering the fact that it's 59 years old, that's quite a feat. It makes you wonder whether twilight will sell 250, 000 copies each year after its decline (though I seriously doubt so).

Blogger in French!

No, it does not concern you, unless you have a sudden desire to click the "Signaler un abus" button on top, which is the French version of "report for abuse". Rest assured, I will still be posting in English. The French language change was made to help me improve my vocabulary in French (however futile the attempt is).

On a side note, congratulations for wasting (another) few minutes of your life reading this.

Education, the government's way

This is dedicated to those who actually want education, but can't afford it due to certain problems. No, I'm not going to give an objective view of what the problem is, and yes, I will be bashing certain issues with extreme prejudice. Onward!

Grotesque

From the author of "Out" comes "Grotesque", a tale of twisted thoughts, depicting the faces of society most of us are not aware of. This is yet another title sporting a face on its cover. If the face doesn't interest you, I don't know what will (pun intended, did you get the reference?).

The Wolfman

A remake of the 1941 movie of the same name, The Wolfman is about *drumrolls* a man who turns into a werewolf whenever he sees the full moon. I bet you're surprised, whoever wrote this story was a genius!

Dawn of War: Soulstorm

 

For those who already know about this game, this will seem like a boring post made out of sheer desperation to keep this little corner of the internet alive. For those who don't, I do wish that it will make a good read. If only wishes ever came true.

To Eat Or Not To Eat

That is the question. While some(many) consider it wrong to be eating animals such as dogs and cats, others consider it to be a delicacy. Often, mixed reactions emerge among the group from discussions regarding the issue, ranging from utter disgust to an I-do-not-care manner, to an obsession for the dish.

Beyond the Bounds

There are times where you hear a tune, and it entrenches itself firmly into your brain with the sturdiness of a mountain that you can't get it out despite the forced attempts to distract yourself. The only way to force it out is, like the weather does the mountain, slowly erode it through time, which as you can imagine takes some time. While that happens though, you can always enjoy the many dawns and dusks from the summit.

Out

Meet Masako Katori, a Japanese housewife in her forties, a human butcher by day, and a boxed lunch factory worker by night. Interested yet?

Spice and Wolf

Although the title above translates to Wolf and Spice, the official English name for it is "Spice and Wolf", which according to my source, took after the name of a book on medieval commerce named "Gold and Spices: The Rise of Commerce in the Middle Ages". This source of mine is also the reason I started to watch the series, and as it so happens, the reason I decided to start a blog (how could you not be motivated by someone like that?).
