Democracy contains flaws which are inherent in itself, but all those weaknesses of democracy can only be cured by more democracy

စိတ်ကောက်ခြင်းသည် ကျန်းမားရေးကို ဆိုးရွားစွာ ထိခိုက်စေနိုင်သည်။ စာအုပ်နာမည်ကလေးဖတ်ပြီးတော့ ဒီစာအုပ်က ကျန်းမားရေး စာအုပ်ဖြစ်ရမယ်ပေါ့။ အတက်တွေး လိုက်မိတာပြောပါတယ်။ ကျွန်တော်တို့ ရင်းနှီးနေ ကျ ကျန်းမားရေး

Today I read a book called Killing Sacred Cows, written by Garrett B. Gunderson and contributions by Stephen Palmer. In the books introduction Mr. Gunderson says that that a "sacred cow" is defined

How do you follow up on a classic? That’s essentially the problem Neil Gaiman faced when Alan Moore suggested he replace him as the writer for “Miracleman” in 1990. By that point, “Miracleman” had won

What if Superman remade the world? That’s more or less the plot of Miracleman Book 3: Olympus. The last stories Moore wrote for the series, this volume shows him at his most poetic and his most obscene.

Volume 2 of the Miracleman stories, The Red King Syndrome opens by showing the couple we met in the first batch of Miracleman stories Things have gotten quieter, and yet more difficult for them. Michael

Comic book writer Alan Moore is known for a lot of things. His graphic novel “The Killing Joke” is often considered the best Batman story about the Joker ever written. “Watchmen,” released in 1986, proved

As a person who likes to read a lot of fantasy, sci-fi and comic books I get to hear a lot of remarks about my reading habits. The most common ones are isn’t it a waste of time and what good does it do?

Jon Acuff has published some very interesting books: Do Over, Start, Quitting and now I had the pleasure of learning form his experiences around the concept of finishing. Some people never have any problems

I had the wonderful opportunity to read Jenna Fischer's book 'The Actor's Life - a Survival Guide'. I know Jenna from The Office fame and in the book, she chronicles her own experience working her way

Yes, it's the book that is being adapted into a Steven Spielberg movie. "Ready Play One" is the debut book of author Ernest Cline in 2011. Let me start with the highest recommendation I can give

发现原著漫画 在图书馆闲逛，看到一本厚厚大大的漫画书上写着《雪国列车》几个字，本以为是根据同名电影改编的漫画，一翻看才知道漫画才是原著，电影是根据漫画改编的。 《雪国列车》原著漫画一共三部，分别是《逃出者》、《勘测队》和《涉川》。电影是根据第一部的内容改编的，对第二部和第三部的内容完全没有涉及。 原著与电影的同与不同

图源 【样貌】 《射雕英雄传》里对黄药师有这样的外貌描写：“形相清癯，丰姿隽爽，萧疏轩举，湛然若神。” 《红楼梦》中写到林黛玉出场则用了一首诗：“两弯似蹙非蹙罥烟眉，一双似泣非泣含露目。态生两靥之愁，娇袭一身之病。泪光点点，娇喘微微。闲静似娇花照水，行动如弱柳扶风。心较比干多一窍，病如西子胜三分。”

《白衣人》，2018年的第三本书。用了一个晚上和一个早上读完此书。 在读的过程中，遇到熟悉和了解的内容时阅读速度比较快，主要是历史事件本身的描述，毕竟很多内容都在媒体宣传或自己阅读中已经有所了解，比如之前已经读过李光耀先生的图传以及他的《论中国》，更不要提每年国庆时电视报纸的大篇幅集体回忆了。 喜欢这本书有三个原因。

《低欲望社会》，2018年第二本书。用了大概一天的时间浏览了此书。 这本书的内容有四个方面： 1、人口减少与低欲望社会的现实分析 2、质疑“安倍经济学” 3、针对日本现状提出发展建议 4、针对日本的统治机构和行政系统提出改变建议 先说说感觉并不好的地方。 首先，这本书几乎成了对“安倍经济学”的吐糟集。反反复复告诉读者“安倍经济学”的必然失败，一遍又一遍，在大前研一眼里安倍哪里不对呢？是这也不对，那也不对。

2018年读完的第一本书是手冢治虫的漫画《MW》。这篇小文章想借《MW》聊一聊如何让反派人物成为故事的主角。 《MW》的主角是彻底的反派。

The Yellow Room (2016) is written by Jess Vallance. As a literature major the first thing that I think of when I see this title is “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The title of this
