So much of the history of human dissection is the history of a single individual and their work. For 16th century physician Andreas Vesalius, that individual was himself, and his work, De Humani Corporis Fabrica or About the Fabric of the Human Body, completed in 1543 and published the following year, is still used today to teach human anatomy from detailed photographs to complete virtual dissections. Vesalius attacked the medicine of Galen, which had been accepted for centuries.
He approached anatomy in a novel way by relying on evidence for his conclusions. Because he personally performed many of the dissections, Vesalius in some cases even had corpses displayed publicly, enabling his readers to test his conclusions on human remains. Ultimately, the book worked. It became the cornerstone of the study of modern anatomy, and played a profound influence on physicians and scholars for centuries to come. His handwork saved countless lives over the years.

Read the Scythe trilogy in the following order: Scythe, Thunderhead, The Toll. After finishing the trilogy, read Gleanings. The anthology contains many backstory and “sidestories” that are far more enjoyable after you have finished reading the main characters and the ultimate fate of our world. Reading it in the middle of the trilogy would stifle much of the momentum that Mr. Shusterman has created for the three novels.

I’d like to give a shoutout to H.G. Wells for laying the groundwork for dystopian fiction before Zamyatin nailed it. The Eloi and the Morlocks in The Time Machine (1895) create a pretty dim social dystopia based on class division that’s been horrifically taken to the extreme end. But it’s not a “society is a prison” story for the most part. The future is bleak and hopelessness is the theme. His other work, When the Sleeper Wakes (1899), is a full-on dystopia featuring a plutocratic oligarchy, brainwashing by mass media, and a population too apathetic to care about anything. It reads surprisingly modern. While Wells may not have created totalitarian futures, he did explore what the end of capitalism and social hierarchy might look like, and is definitely worthy of recognition for his influence before Zamyatin wrote.

I checked my bookshelves and my online catalog notes and it’s a well known novel “A Murder of Crows” by David Morrell published 1986. When referring to this novel in conversation “Murder and Crows” is often how the title is referred to by people. David Morrell is a writer of tight, well constructed fiction and this novel was as suspenseful as his others and was reprinted in paperback shortly after publication.
Also worth noting is the book’s slender length and high degree of tension and intelligence. While many subsequent thrillers have built upon the compact, 1980s-style machinery of Morrell’s novel, it remains highly regarded today and I regularly recommend it to friends in search of compact, thoughtful, and morally complex thrillers.

While it is difficult to pinpoint the very first romance novel, it is widely accepted that Samuel Richardson’s Pamela, published in 1740, is one of the first true romance novels. Callirhoe by Chariton of Aphrodisias (c. 2nd century AD) and Tristan and Iseult (c. 12th century) were among the first works of literature to explore the emotions of love and the longing that often accompanies it. Many of the characteristics that have become synonymous with romance today originated with these groundbreaking works, which continue to influence the genre to this day.

I was really interested by this post because it seemed to me that the way we perceive ‘ownership’ of digital objects is to per použití much less ‘real’ than physical objects. But really the core of any story – the emotions, the characters, the plot twists and turns – is just the same whether printed on screen or on paper.
I think we want physical copies of our favorite stories because they serve as a kind of monument to our fandom. They show others that a story is important to us. And, preferably, they sit on a shelf in our home.
So maybe buying an official t-shirt or print would serve the same purpose for now. At least then you’d be showing your love for TBATE and paying the creator directly for his work. Something to consider.

Anne Catherine Kleinklaus is another silent but never absent character in the life of Bernie Gunther in Philip Kerr’s The Pale Criminal (1990). Anne Catherine is as elusive as she is compelling and, above all, unpredictable and real. As with all the women in this series for the fans of the noir, she is unforgettable. And she is so much more than a plot device – she is a real woman in a very hostile world.

I can’t hide my book-nerd grin when talking dates — publishing calendars are a patchwork sometimes. If you mean Virginia Evans’s novel 'The Correspondent', the US hardback was released April 29, 2025, and the UK paperback edition from Penguin (ISBN 9781405971553) is listed as being published May 14, 2026. That said, there are region- and language-specific paperbacks that came earlier: a Spanish-language paperback edition shows a June 17, 2025 publication date, and a film tie-in/other book titled 'The Correspondent' (Peter Greste) has a paperback dated March 31, 2025 — so double-check which edition you want. Bottom line: for the widely discussed Virginia Evans paperback in the UK, expect May 14, 2026; for other-language or different books with the same title there are earlier paperback dates. I love that tracking release windows gives me an excuse to roam publisher sites — always something new to find.

There’s no novel but I’d really recommend the manga. While the anime adaptation of ‘Fruits Basket’ was also very good it can’t cover all the many details and background information about the characters. While we get to see Hatori’s background in the anime for example we don’t get to see Rin’s background in as much detail as we do in the manga for example. The manga by Natsuki Takaya was a really big deal in the late ’90s and early 2000s shoujo scene.
The art in Fruits Basket has developed a lot throughout the series. The first parts of the manga are very colorful and happy. Later parts are more realistic, simple and fragil, just like the characters. There is no novel. The manga is perfect to read if you have only seen the anime, because you can notice a lot of details that were not in the anime, like the connection between the zodiac and the characters.

Anonymous author, huh? The mystery is piqued enough for me to look into whatever this project is. A solo, anonymous author usually produces either something extraordinary or utterly off-kilter. This could be interesting, either way.
