incurably curious vs incurable curious Hello there lovely people! Would you say: "Please don't read this if you are incurably curious" or "Please don't read this book if you are an incurable curious." And which would be considered grammatically correct. Thanks

Strawberry Moon and other stories What's worse than realizing your certainties and ideologies are wrong is to still beleive in them yet having to capitulate and join the opposite side. You don't know who you are anymore, not this self you're trying to leave behind nor this new person you ought to become to keep on going. It's a profound state of limbo and void. You are just a body filling the the vacuum of space and time. You are no one. You are nothing.

Peplum, Amélie Nothomb (review) Cheers to Amélie for keeping a book interesting with two characters and a beeline dialogue! I picked up this book at a friend's house, dived in and only emerged once done. It basically read itself. Nothomb is a very famous writer in France and Belgium, and because of that I avoided her for many years. I feared she my be some female version of Musso or Levy (who diverted me from modern French literature). All I knew about her was that she had peculiar sartorial style, wore funny hats and showed up on TV sets more often than a writer ought to be (by my standards). I'm glad my misconception turned up to be wrong about her. Not only did book had (almost) zero romance (definitely not a Musso) it was actually a Sci-Fi. It was clever, witty, engaging and called for some good healthy brain racking. I hadn't read enough (if any) Sci-Fi to know if each and every futuristic idea in the book is from her own invention but she sure knows how to put said ideas on paper and make them interesting to read.

Habibi, Craig Thompson (review) "Far away cows wear long horns" If one decided to read the Quran, the Kama Sutra and the Arabian Nights the same day, he may dream something resembling this book at night. The structure of the story truly felt like a bad dream or rather a nightmare. Obviously the book is trying to say something, and whatever it is, it's not subtile (hint: you can spot one of Emirates Towers on a panorama of big ol bad Wanadolia). And when the story is not making some politico-religious statement it's throwing nudity at our faces for no other reason but the sake of it. And yeah, it uses unintelligible Arabic calligraphy to fill in the blanks and the endless white pages. Suddenly ممنوع سبحا means no swimming. All in all, the drawing was okey; too bad it had all that useless text attached to it.

Going "into" work/ It doesn't get me "nowhere" Hi all! Are these phrases grammatically correct? Going "into" work. It doesn't get me "nowhere" The writer is from London, maybe it's something specific to the UK. Thanks.

Verb for facial expression (lips) Hi all! I'm looking for a very particular verb describing a facial expression where one side of the upper lip is moved up to the side? I've read the definition somewhere but forgot the verb in question.

The Dinner Herman Koch (review) This felt like listening to someone with bipolar disorder/ADHD tell you a story. The narration was really slow at first -almost boring, then when it finally started to get interesting the narrator just couldn't stay still. He just kept jumping from one subject to the next and more often than not they weren't even related or relevant. At times it felt like a drunken person talking: making no sens at all! And just like a drunken person can be, the narrator would get laughing-out-loud funny at times only to go back talking about whatever. It wasn't bad nor good. It was just weird. On the other hand every single character in this book is a really bad person.

The Girl on the Train (review) This is not a psychological thriller and frankly I don't know what the heck this was, one thing for sure is that the last half of the book was rubbish (mediocre at best). It's sad because the beginning was so promising with some great character analyses, yet half way through the book it took a sorry turn. I held on to the idea of a great twist until the very last page... alas, it was the mirage. It felt like peeling a big, three-layers-wraped, gorgeous Bloomingdales gift box only to find a 5% voucher for socks at the very bottom of it. What a waste. How very disappointing. PS: The title is greatly misleading.
