Title/Author: Fight Club/Chuck Palahniuk Publisher: Vintage No. of pages: 352 ISBN 13: 9780099552154 Price: RM29.90 In a nutshell I’ve seen Fight Club. I loved it. I’ve also just read the book. Loved it too. Even dreamt about being in Fight Club with Pitt and Norton last night! Haha yes, for real, ok :P So. Everyone knows about fight club and the story. What I liked about it It’s fast paced, very graphic and oh yes, very bloody too but bearable, unlike the movie (the sound effects kinda made it more brutal and intense). The story is also quite dark and a little twisted. The frequent change of scenes lent the story a pace that kept me on my toes – with my hands flipping the pages, and my mind jumping from scene to scene almost every second, there was no way my mind could wander even for a second! And to already know that the narrator and Tyler are the same person made the story even more fascinating. (Should've read the book first before the movie. Wonder how I'd have reacte...

Title/Author: Drawing Blood/Scarfe Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing No. of pages: 352 ISBN 10: 0 316 72952 3 Price: RM59.90 (Discounted price) In a nutshell (I'm just gonna take it from the book flap) This is Scarfe's first collected volume of his work for twenty years, with amusing and poignant anecdotes to present the drawings and other works that have established him as one of our foremost cultural commentators. Artist, stage designer, political cartoonist and satirist, Gerald Scarfe has given us some of the most famous and controversial images of the twentieth century. He has worked with an eclectic mix of English and American icons: from Pink Floyd to Disney, Private Eye to Time magazine, the English National Ballet to Peter Hall, the New Yorker to the Sunday Times . What I liked Firstly, his introduction. It's a must-read if you've not heard of him before. You'll learn how Scarfe who was asthmatic, found his voice and style when he decided to leave ...

Title/Author: Eat Pray Love/Elizabeth Gilbert Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing No. of pages: 349 ISBN 13: 9780747589358 Price: RM10.00 (Discounted price) In a nutshell The whole world knows what Eat Pray Love is all about, so I'm going to skip this bit. Ok. Maybe a short description. It's mainly about Liz going on a self-discovery journey that revolves around the Pursuit of Pleasure (in Eat, the first part of the book), followed by Pursuit of Devotion (Pray) and Pursuit of Balance (Love). What I liked My favourite parts were 'Eat' and 'Love' maybe because I could relate to them. In Eat , I realised that I must/should live my life to the full because I live only once! I'd do my best in everything I do, try everything at least once, travel; just make myself happy! I mean, its only when you're happy that you can spread happiness right? In Pray , I find the spinning engine theory her friend Sean, whom she met at the Ashram, shared with her was pretty int...

Thank you Odelia from Pansing for arranging this interview for me :) To those of you who haven't heard of Dr. Rob Yeung , he's a British psychologist, business speaker, and management author. He was recently in Singapore to promote his latest book, The Extra One Per Cent . I asked him about what got him into psychology and his experience in putting this book together. Have yo u always wanted to do psychology? Why? What do you enjoy most about it? When I was at school, I studied physical sciences including physics, chemistry and biology. I thought I would become a chemist or a biochemist. It was only by chance that I did some reading about psychology and at the last minute changed my mind to study psychology. When I started reading about psychology, I thought it was just this amazing topic. It really resonated with me as I've always been a curious person, I've always enjoyed figuring people out, so when I found out there was actually a discipline, a subject I could study...
