Read this short story by Andrzej Miszczak. Maybe you will encounter it in some anthologies. Starting with a lot of action and ending with some questions about parenthood. How do we take care about our kids, what will they do with us or to us when they grow up. What happens when we fail as parents? Are there some cases in which it is better...

finally finished that book. Reading SF and history books all the time I never read a text like that before. I thought books about normal persons were... well boring. Big mistake. The sudden attack of deep demonic part-destructive love into a normal life. I could feel it, I saw it, I experienced it. If you can, read it, it is very good and ends in...

Sounds interesting

I am officially intrigued
Now I've got a lot of time to read. Returned from the hospital and cannot walk properly. Damn crutches are difficult to handle, especially when using them for the first time in the life. But learning fast and it will be no problem. Started with "South of the Border, West of the Sun" written by Murakami. Nice read, did not expect to be that good....

Read "Смотрящая вслед" by Julia Ostapienko. I never before met such a nice idea. She took a very good old SF book - "Hard to be a God" written by the Strugatzki brothers and wrote a short story about an, well, not so known character from that book giving her an own story, own goals and a good background. I don't know if that short...

I'm leaving a comment so I can come back to this and look for the books

@melusine2908 don't be disappointed, Strugatzkis wrote some heavy stuff
At the moment I am a little bit shocked. The text is still in my mind, the words are dancing in my head. A melancholic interview with an old female soldier who fought for India in a never existing war. There is a taste of Clavells "King Rat" mixed with some deeper thoughts. Is there a possible coexistence with another species or only war in...

Read "Family Tradition" by Edward Lee. Another story full of drugs, sex and (no Rock'n Roll) but well.... gourmets. A story of rivalry between two world class chefs, their restaurants and their search for a rare breed of an eel. It ends like a piece of Shakespeare but with more blood and gore. If you like hard stuff, you can go for it. But be...

something more .. became very curious
zweitesich:
@donawhale OK, so here are some spoilers.... A world class chef takes his brother
and travels to a secluded lake to find a rare breed of eel. They also
take their girlfriends to that trip. In the center of the lake there is
an island. Two rednecks and their father are living there, one of them
is also a chef but.... he likes to prepare dishes out of humans. They
kidnap people and "prepare" them for a meal. When an another world class
cook appears to prevent his rival from finding the fish the party
starts. There are also two bad girls who want to commit suicide one
kidnapped man and a female prisoner.... well a high explosive cocktail
for your mind.
just read that piece by Matthew Mather. Is it a sin to eat animals? Are humans animals, too? In Germany we have had that terrible case when one man killed and ate an another one. The police found out, that the killed guy wanted to be killed and be eaten. The thoughts are even more terrible, our organs are similar to pigs..... and I love...

Very deep thoughts there

That's what I'm doing rn!
Read "The Girl with the White Flag" by Tomiko Higa ... and thinking now... we see a lot of war in daily news. But the most horrors happen to kids in those areas. Thank you, whoever you may be, that I grew up in peace.
