When it comes to others’ tastes in reading, I do not have the habit of questioning that much. The side that I put under the microscope and criticize them for is their characters which emphasizes in many ways, not solely in what kind of books they are reading. Besides, a great book still can be […]

Fate and humans
There are many characters in Greek mythology that can foresee or even predict the future. Nevertheless, for many reasons, they have little things to do about that. Fate is a sacred subject in Greek mythology. No mere human or even an almighty god can change fate. Once a prophecy places on someone, they can’t do […]
