I didn’t burn the book. Why?
It is so funny, and I need things to make me laugh.

I loved the idea of having a history hanging in the wall and I plan to decorate the walls of my reading palace with more posters.

la guerra de los imperfectos por víctor manuel valenzuela
Tenho nas minhas mãos o livro “La Guerra de los Imperfectos” de Víctor Manuel Valenzuela, uma edição da Nowe Volution.
Ansioso por terminar o que já deu para perceber ser um excelente livro de ficção científica. Estou cada vez mais satisfeito por ter seguido os conselhos de Ricardo Esplugas.
the virtual tablet of irma tre by marie lecrivain
The Virtual Tablet of Irma Tre explores the correlation between poetry and alchemy through a series of alphabetized poetic vignettes, and evocative photography. Additionally, the poems of this collective speak directly to the reader’s past, present, and future selves. Exploring the idea of reincarnation, Lecrivain expresses the importance of evolving the Self for a greater good through catharsis and cognizance.

armas, germes e aço de jared diamond
A leitura do livro Armas, Germes e Aço por Jared Diamond foi uma das leituras mais divertidas, mais interessantes, mais desafiadores dos últimos tempos.
Conseguiu suplantar sem dificuldade muitos livros de ficção.
E não deixa de ser interessante que hoje surja a notícia na revista Nature em 21.07.2015 um artigo intitulado “Genetic evidence for two founding populations of the Americas” da responsabilidade de Pontus Skoglund, Swapan Mallick, Maria Cátira Bortolini, Niru Chennagiri, Tábita Hünemeier, Maria Luiza Petzl-Erler
Genetic studies have consistently indicated a single common origin of Native American groups from Central and South America. However, some morphological studies have suggested a more complex picture, whereby the northeast Asian affinities of present-day Native Americans contrast with a distinctive morphology seen in some of the earliest American skeletons, which share traits with present-day Australasians (indigenous groups in Australia, Melanesia, and island Southeast Asia). Here we analyse genome-wide data to show that some Amazonian Native Americans descend partly from a Native American founding population that carried ancestry more closely related to indigenous Australians, New Guineans and Andaman Islanders than to any present-day Eurasians or Native Americans. This signature is not present to the same extent, or at all, in present-day Northern and Central Americans or in a ~12,600-year-old Clovis-associated genome, suggesting a more diverse set of founding populations of the Americas than previously accepted.

the wanderer de timothy j. jarvis
After obscure author of strange stories, Simon Peterkin, vanishes in bizarre circumstances, a typescript, of a text entitled, ‘The Wanderer’, is found in his flat. ‘The Wanderer’ is a weird document. On a dying Earth, in the far-flung future, a man, an immortal, types the tale of his aeon-long life as prey, as a hunted man; he tells of his quitting the Himalayas, his sanctuary for thousands of years, to return to his birthplace, London, to write the memoirs; and writes, also, of the night he learned he was cursed with life without cease, an evening in a pub in that city, early in the twenty-first century, a gathering to tell of eldritch experiences undergone. Is ‘The Wanderer’ a fiction, perhaps Peterkin’s last novel, or something far stranger? Perhaps more ‘account’ than ‘story’?
Perfect Edge
The Wanderer is the first novel by Timothy J. Jarvis and published by Perfect Edge (2014).

the messiah of the mannequins
The Messiah of the Mannequins is the 605th story by Rhys Hughes, of The 1,000 Story Cycle, written in 2011. The story was published in the anthology This Hermetic Legislature: A Homage to Bruno Schulz (2012) by Ex Occidente Press.
I wasn’t feeling the very best today so when I got the chance to read a new story by Rhys Hughes who I’ve always adored I hope to say at last carpe diem.
I closed my ears to the outside noises and then I began the reading… The Messiah of the Mannequins is another wild, non-sense, fantastic, exhilarating tale from Rhys Hughes, a man capable of never fails to fascinate me. The story maybe isn’t real, but it sure is powerful…
The Messiah of the Mannequins is a story that people with an imagination will enjoy, but if you lost your capacity of dreaming you still can give it a try.
mirrors in the deluge
A real-time review by Paulo Brito.
Mirrors in the Deluge is a collection of 32 unrelated stories that take elements from fantasy, science fiction, horror and other genres and give them a lateral shift. Like much of Rhys’ work these quirky tales between them encompass parody, pastiche and puns. The fun, as ever, starts with the title of each story – gently leading an unsuspecting reader into preconceived ideas and expectations; expectations that are soon spun around, turned on their head (or other extremities), and pushed in an unexpected direction. Thus, even a saunter through the contents page is already a hugely entertaining experience and one more akin to savouring the hors d’oeuvres of a grand banquet than consulting a list of shortcuts into a literary tome.
“Mirrors in the Deluge by Rhys Hughes” it was published by Elsewhen Press.
I soon will do a gastronomic review.
