Creative Writing: Dune
Out of the many books I have read, none have stricken me quite so profoundly like Dune.

I had read this book when I was younger, but I could not understand it very well. After the first time, I read it twice more including this year. I believe that being able to appreciate and understand this book marked improvement in my reading. I was really fond of the fact that the author intertwined science fiction with a touch of fantasy whilst keeping the human variable of greed. I believe I kept going back to it because I didn’t understand it. It was like a problem, needing to be solved.

Dune was written forty years ago, but is still popular amongst sci-fi/fantasy fans. It is composed of three “sub-books” which are composed of different portions of

    Catcher in the Rye (Coming of Age)

    I enjoyed this book thoroughly and always kept me intrigued until the end. It had small twists in it that were rather easy to interpret but it was also very interesting. I don’t particularly relate to this book, although situations that I’ve endured have changed my perspective on life, in a positive aspect, and made me unprejudiced and versatile and not so…

    Creative Writing: Observing Aubrey

    Observing Aubrey's brother come back as a walker made him flinch. He had expected that this would never happen. Everything Audrey had been through, she didn't ask for this. The brunette tightly held onto her as she wept in his arms, a small frown forming on his lips before he shook his head. "You're not alone, Aubrey." The recent fight that had just went down popped back into his head. He immediately regretted the words he said earlier. In a hushed tone, Carl slowly loosened his grip on her. "We'll bury him, I promise. But..for now, I need to make sure you don't die as well." He spoke, knowing that could potentially make her even more angry at him. "But, we'll stay out here as long as you want okay?" He looked back at the dead corpse next to…

    Walden Two

    Taken as a piece of psychological fantasy the book is very interesting to read. The concept of a utopian community in which everyone has an equal share of the responsibilities and an equal share of the profit, is very appealing especially in this culture. One of the main centerpieces of the ideology is that everyone is happy and content in their life. Taking modern day society as a whole, that is not the case in everyday living. The concept of living a simple life in which I am happy and content is very appealing and drew me into the book quickly.…

    Slumdog Millionaire Book Report

    The part of the book that leaves a permanent impression on me is when he said he wonder what it feels like to have no desires left because we have satisfied them all, smothered them with money even before they are born. Then, he raised two questions “Is an existence without desire very desirable? And is the poverty of desire better than rank poverty itself?” After reading these two questions, I started to reflect myself. Some people and including me will think that the poverty of desire is better than rank poverty because for poverty of desire, we still got money in our hand, and at least we can live ourselves with the absence of the souls. However, the truth is we should live a poverty material life, not the poverty spiritual life. As people are not born with the money, we should not be the slave of money or desires and put them as our top priority when making decisions. Therefore I think this part can remind me not to be mean and greedy and have a real personality.…

    Why Nations Fail - A Book Review

    Other people who have not bumped into this kind of books will most likely foreshadow this work as not so entertaining since most of it, well actually every chapter of this book deals with nothing but politics and economics, but as you go through every chapter of the book, you will find it to be a total opposite to what you expected. It is interesting in a way that you get the chance to know the economic status of each country and its reason why it grows differently: others succeed and others fail.…
