Is Patrick Bateman or Maeve Fly More Insane?
I never thought I would ever find another protagonist/killer similar to that of Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. I finally found one that could rival him, the female version, who is the splitting image of Patrick Bateman. Her name is Maeve Fly, and oh boy, I believe she is just as insane as he is!

When discussing literary works by author Ichikawa Takuji, many readers have offered a very interesting observation: they are neither romance novels nor science fiction, but are categorized specifically as "Ichikawa Takuji" works.

5 Ways the Jurassic Park Novel is Different from the Movie
I had been wanting to read the novel to the Jurassic Park film for the longest time. It was definitely worth the wait, and it was one of the best sci - fi horror novels I have read in years. While I personally believe The Season of Passage by Christopher Pike is the best sci - fi novel ever written, I think Jurassic Park is a very close second.

I got the chance to read The Princss Bride, so I did
Like many people, I grew up with the movie. The quotable lines, the swashbuckling adventure, the perfect romance - it was all burned into my memory. "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya" became a cultural touchstone. "As you wish" was shorthand for true love. And "Inconceivable!" - well, we all know what that means. So when I spotted The Princess Bride at a bookstore, I grabbed it without hesitation, expecting a straightforward novelization of the story I already knew by heart.

New Year's resolutions that actually work for 2026
As we stand on the threshold of 2026, let's embark on a new approach to New Year's resolutions. Setting goals for the coming year is a universal symbol of hope and renewal, but the familiar cycle of setting goals in January only to abandon them by February affects over 80% of individuals. It's crucial to recognize that this pattern is not a personal failure, but a systemic one. Conventional goal-setting often overlooks the psychological realities of human behavior and the unique challenges of modern life.

[BOOK SUMMARY & REVIEW] “TEN LITTLE BLACK MEN”:
“Ten Little Black Men” (And Then There Were None) is one of Agatha Christie’s most classic detective masterpieces – a work that the “Queen of Detective Fiction” herself acknowledged as her most difficult yet most brilliant book. Unlike typical detective novels, the story doesn’t feature a brilliant detective like Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple. Instead, the entire story revolves around ten complete strangers, invited to an isolated island – and then one by one, they die, according to a mysterious nursery rhyme.
