    Bahas Buku: “The Maid” oleh Nita Prose

    Bahas Buku: “The Maid” oleh Nita Prose

    Akhir-akhir ini, selera saya sedang bergeser ke murder mystery. Ya sebenernya memang ini genre favorit sih, tapi rasa-rasanya makin banyak seri murder mystery di luar sana, dan saya sama sekali ga keberatan, hahah. BTW, tulisan Bahas Buku ini saya copy-paste dari feed Threads saya. Saya juga sekarang memutuskan untuk menyebutnya “Bahas Buku” ketimbang “Review” karena…… Continue reading

    Book Review: “The Cat who Solved Three Murders” by L T Shearer

    Book Review: “The Cat who Solved Three Murders” by L T Shearer

    The cat’s name is Conrad and he can talk. I admit, I was caught off-guard when the dialogue started. Yes, there were some mentions about it on the first several paragraphs, but I thought it was a figure of speech, you know? I didn’t expect of a “They’re scientists, you said.” I was, at that… Continue reading

    Book Review: “The Get Things Done Book: 41 Tools to Start, Stick With and Finish Things” by Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschäppeler

    Book Review: “The Get Things Done Book: 41 Tools to Start, Stick With and Finish Things” by Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschäppeler

    I was not a fan of the word “productivity”. While the word itself is innocent enough, thanks to the media and how society has progressed lately, I got to associate “productivity” with “hustle” and value an individual with a mere number of outputs. It took me quite some time to reframe my perspective and thoughts… Continue reading

    Building book-reading habit

    Building book-reading habit

    I like reading, but I personally feel something has been lacking lately on my reading habit. Recently, I have been reading self-help/motivational book, and my current two favorites are Ryder Carroll’s “The Bullet Journal Method” and James Clear’s “Atomic Habit”. You might notice those two books actually connected in some ways. “The Bullet Journal Method”… Continue reading

    ‘Tales of Mystery & Imagination’ by Edgar Allan Poe

    ‘Tales of Mystery & Imagination’ by Edgar Allan Poe

    Sekarang mau, hmmm, review (?) Gimana ya, dibilang review juga bukan kata yang tepat soalnya karya-karyanya Edgar Allan Poe ini kan karya klasik, dan gw juga ini aslinya nggak ngebahas karya-karyanya beliau. Cuma heboh sendiri soal buku ini sih, heuhe. Jadi aslinya itu kemarin gw kan jalan-jalan ya ke area Bukit Bintang naik MRT. Area… Continue reading

    A Monk’s Guide to a Clean House and Mind

    Waktu di Singapura, gw dipinjemin buku sama Budi beserta ucapan, “nih Kap, kamu kan bocahnya Konmari.” (tautan: “Plus dan Minus Konmari” dan “Membuang “Beban”“) Kalo Konmari itu seperti ilmu turunan dari Zen (karena Marie Kondo dulunya pendeta Zen), A Monk’s Guide ini bener-bener ditulis oleh pendeta Zen Buddhist yang masih aktif. Shoukei Matsumoto, menurut biografi… Continue reading
