We don't even get to see INVESTIGATION 3 much less the trial or anything after that. What bother's me is how it was cut off so soon. I can forgive how the twists of the first trial as well as who is the killer being given away as this series is clearly meant to be a companion to the game rather than a replacement for it. This is an awesome idea in theory however in practice it falls short. So these manga's are essentially the story of SDR 2 from Nagito's point of view. Review for all three mangas here though mostly the third. ![]() ![]() Helped by Monica, who is also searching for the inventor, he travels to Jerusalem to solve the problem. He must track down a missing inventor who disappeared with a camera that can take pictures of the past.

He is a brilliant problem solver, rich and quite good at what he does, helped by his hallucinations. Legion (2012) tells the story of Stephen Leeds, better known as 'Legion', a man whose unique mental condition allows him to generate a multitude of personae. When finished, I sent it out to my agent - and we had a Hollywood option by the end of the year. It "came from an idea I'd been kicking around in my head for a few months, and the time seemed right to explore it on paper. Sanderson wrote the first story on the flight home from France in the summer of 2011. ![]() The books have received favorable reviews. ![]() Death and Faxes, co-authored by Max Epstein, David Pace, and Michael Harkins, was released in June 2022. Sanderson authored the first three stories (all published through Subterranean Press): Legion, first published on August 31, 2012, Legion: Skin Deep in November 2014, and Legion: Lies of the Beholder in September 2018. ![]() Legion, or the Stephen Leeds series, is a series of science fiction novellas created by American author Brandon Sanderson. ![]() ![]() ![]() The pest controller placed down poisons, but no matter how many he killed, the rats kept returning. “When he put his head into the loft, he told us it smelled like a pet shop,” Sharpe recalls. They contacted a pest controller who told them the rats had somehow accessed their cavity walls and taken up residence in their house. Suddenly, the Sharpes found themselves living the modern- day version in suburban Nottingham. Lovecraft wrote his famous horror story, The Rats in the Walls, in which the new owner of a stately home called Exham Priory is driven to madness by rats slithering between the oak-panelled partitions. ![]() ![]() The notion there were rats sharing our house was something we really didn’t like.” It is a century since H.P. “They sounded really big, like there were badgers up there,” recalls Sharpe, who has four children aged between 10 and 15. Then one night as he and his wife were lying in bed, they suddenly heard a deafening scuttling across the bedroom ceiling directly above their heads. Sharpe, a 52-year-old academic at Nottingham Trent University, ransacked the cabinets and replaced an external drainpipe which he thought might be an access point but the furtive scratching and chomping continued. For Graham Sharpe, his rat problem started with a persistent gnawing he heard one evening in his kitchen. ![]() ![]() What Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian is about? The way she’s describing European cities and small villages, especially in different time periods was one of my favourite parts of the book. Her characters are travelling around Europe during the 1950s, 1970s and 2000s. She’s creating the story that spans from his life in the 15th century to the generations of researchers that are trying to find his grave in the 20th and 21st century. The author is using a real historical person, Vlad Tepes, known in popular culture as the Count Dracula. ![]() It has elements of a travelogue, historical fiction, thriller and a bit of a horror, too. The Historian is a book that combines a few genres. So, I thought there couldn’t be a better title to start my Culture Tourist Book Club, than with the review of Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian. I actually love to do that with books I love. It’s one of those books I’ve read several times. Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian is one of my all-time favourite books. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yet Said's proneness to anger does not prevent Brennan from presenting him as a secular saint. These include his vanity, his resistance to criticism, his impatience with students and his polemical rages. In Places of Mind: A Life of Edward Said, while providing evidence of Said's many admirable qualities, such as his courage in speaking and writing for the Palestinian cause, his promotion of Arabic novelists in translation, his enthusiasm for engaging with challenging intellectual theories and his remarkable skill as a musician, Brennan repeatedly takes note of his failings. Timothy Brennan evidently knew Edward Said very well and has conducted numerous interviews with others who knew him well, and he has had access to such fascinating unpublished documents as Said's unfinished novel. ![]() ![]() While Getting Things Done remains the definitive way to gain perspective over work and create the mental space for creativity and mindfulness, The Getting Things Done Workbook enhances the original by providing an accessible guide to the GTD methodology in workbook form.
