Bookshelf Part 7

It's been a while I've done it, but on an incomprehensibly quavery Saturday like today, this might actually help. The Sun is shining, the sky is blue and yet something's not right.

Like +13C in the middle of February.

Bookshelf Part 6

Yet another pack of books some people might find interesting enough to read. And some might question my - why yes - questionable taste.

Bookshelf Part 5

Another bundle of books I've recently finished.

Bookshelf Part 4

 

Another bookshelf presented. As always, I don't include academic books because even though they can be fun, they are sometimes regional and no use telling about them.

Bookshelf Part 3

Another month, another post.
Last few weeks I've been reading lots of boring, scientific-ey stuff not worthy being mentioned here. Also, gros of those are in my own native language and I doubt anyone would be interested to hear about a book on hermeneutics.
Without further ado, let's do it!

Throwback Thursday Part 21

Books and lilacs. Two lovely things. Also Lilac Wine by Jeff Buckley.

Since today is World Book Day, Throwback Thursday is to the book inspirations in music. When I was drawing up a list, I came up with over 70 songs that had any references to books, so I had to cut the list short.

And no, no Iron Maiden here, because they made references to every most of the classic books.

I was trying to find anything based on the Faust, but except for Muse and one song I couldn't remember the artist of, I had to give up.

Bookshelf Part 2

Due to various unforeseen circumstances, I couldn't read as much as I wanted, however I managed to read some. In most cases, it was a light reading indeed.^^

Bookshelf Part 1

Hereby I announce a new tradition (sic!) that shall be continued through the eternity. A weekly (or bi-weekly or whimsically whenever) update on interesting (or not) books that somehow slipped through my fingers. 

Because I take exhibitionism to a new, written level.

[Book Review] Mark James Russell - Kpop: The Korean Music Revolution

   

   This will be my shortest review ever - don't bother reading. In this book you won't find the title "revolution" explained in detail, you will not find any in-depth analysis of the phenomenon. Instead, you will find:

• Profiles of all the current K-pop artists and their hits
• A look at Seoul's hippest hot spots and hangouts
• Interviews with top artists like Kevin from ZE:A (that's a stretch!!) and Brian Joo from Fly to the Sky
• A look at the Kpop idols of tomorrow *

And that would be EXO all over the place.

Curses and courses

   I'm starting to believe in curses. Happy me lived her entire life shunning this and putting this into mythology pages. But it's real! It has to be real, because ever since August I had maybe 2 weeks of relatively good health. And now probably students who haven't learned kanji on time wished the classes were cancelled.

Oh well, there is a rational reason for that - my flat is too cold and too crappily built so accidents and sicknesses happen like that. But what's even more suspicious - ever since I started working here, I never was on a sick leave. Hmm... I bet it's Illiterati... I mean Illuminati's doing!
