Publishing: Sh!t stirrer magazine.

Honestly, I'd rather see more provocative magazine covers like that. Straight to the point, crystal clear positioning.

Book: The Incredible Book Eating Boy by Oliver Jeffers.

Another wonderful and heart warming tale about a boy who has an insatiable appetite for books but in a rather peculiar manner. Soon, he learned that he needs to (as the title suggests) stop eating em' books!

Needless to say the artwork which comes with the story is simply adorable. Even if you're not a fan of children books, it's worth collecting as an illustrator's inspiration.

You can borrow it here at Sparks' Open Library Project.

Consume: Astro Boy - Osamu Tezuka's Original.

All you fans out there, I thought you should know that Astro Boy original series by Osamu Tezuka is now available at Borders in Gardens. Strangely, they don't have the first and second installment. It starts with 3 and ends with 23 at the moment. While stocks last!

Book: Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers.

Simply adorable illustration with an admirable story of love. Lost and Found is like one of those 'Little Prince' type of children books - masquerading itself as child's bedtime story but in reality, the adult probably get more out of it. Sometimes, we forget. We forget who we are, we forget about our friends and we forget even, about the simplicity of love, companionship and innocence while growing up. And Oliver Jeffers managed to bring them all back to mind in these few but wonderfully illustrated pages.

Just remember, sometimes we're not lost. We're just lonely.

You can borrow it here at Sparks' Open Library Project.

Media: Sex and The City 2 - The movie.

When will this ever end? Looks like this is one of the most influential series-movies of the decade. Why? Because it's targeted to women. With money. And power. And that seems like an ever going trend.
