Sidekicks

Oe introduces Kogito Choko, a writer in his early sixties, as he rekindles a childhood friendship with his estranged brother-in-law, the renowned filmmaker Goro Hanawa. Goro sends Kogito a trunk of tapes he has recorded of reflections about their friendship, but as Kogito is listening one night, he hears something odd. "I'm going to head over to the Other Side now," Goro says, and then Kogito hears a loud thud. After a moment of silence, Goro's voice continues: "But don't worry, I'm not going to stop communicating with you." Moments later, Kogito's wife rushes in; Goro has jumped to his death. With that, Kogito begins a far-ranging search to understand what drove his brother-in-law to suicide. His quest takes him from the forests of southern Japan to the washed-out streets of Berlin, where Kogito confronts the ghosts from his own past and that of his lifelong, but departed, friend.

She finds herself playing cat and mouse with a killer more sinister than she could imagine, and with her fragile psyche collapsing, this case, of all of them, may be the one that does her in for good.

Nestled deep in the South is a tiny Academy that teaches classes in the most important subject in the world: the domestic arts. The Academy's unique curriculum includes everything from cocktail-party etiquette to business entertaining, dealing with household guests, and cooking for the holidays. Here, after a little gentle instruction from Deans Pollak and Manigault, interspersed with plenty of humor, students find they are living healthier, having stronger ties to friends and family, and using their houses to branch out in ways they never dreamed possible. Since not everyone can get to their sold-out classes in Charleston, the Deans are now offering this book so happier living can be within everyone's grasp, not just the select few.

In this innovative re-imagining of the Odyssey’s history, Sicilian princess Nausicaa recounts her story, and how she, not the poet Homer, came to write the Odyssey. Set in the eighth century B.C., it recounts the story of a determined young woman who lives an adventurous life: rescuing her father's throne from outside threats, freeing herself from an abusive marriage, and saving her two younger brothers from certain death. Nausicaa is a passionate, religious, and dynamic heroine who is more than a match for the heroes in the epic poem she claims to have authored.

一个人，要经历多少曲折阻挠才可成长？一个人，又要经历多少舍取才可圆满？三生石旁，忘川河边一碗百味的孟婆汤，又夹杂了人生多少味道？凡尘俗世，红尘袅袅，又困住多少痴心男女？是悔恨，亦是不舍？是留恋，方是释然？看那一碗汤，毁掉前世一生缘；看那一抹笑，道尽人生一世艰。我是孟婆，千百个日夜里，我都会和你一起,去缅怀，过去的时光。

空气焦躁不安的浮动，最后终于喷涌出巨大的爆炸声，于是我又看到了她，她从渺远处灰白的天空滑翔而来，像幽灵一样飞过我的头顶。当时我正背着皮包穿着风衣，毫无表情的走过天桥，她就来了，我感觉到只属于她的风强劲地吹过我了，像西伯利亚冬季风，带着坚硬和干燥，像她一样。而几乎是一瞬间，她就将我完全俘获，我浑身僵硬颤抖，触电般的不能再走一步路。

推荐梧桐新文《未来之系统喊我去种药》，傲娇系统带你在线种药，吃遍各类药膳，嫁给大美男，走上人生巅峰。 本文纯属宠文，无宫斗。清爽。本文慢热。身为一穿越女，风兮兮从小就小心翼翼的掩饰自己的与众不同，她不想被当成妖孽被道士给收拾掉。从小五个哥哥就对自己极端的宠溺，长大了又有了夫君对自己百依百顺。风兮兮在古代的生活可谓是风生水起。精彩片段一：风兮兮一一看过自己的哥哥，然后有扫视了他们给自己带的东西，实在是有些无语，她是来上学的，不是来郊游的啊。但心里却很开心。精彩片段二：““你为什么对我这么好呢？”“因为我想对你好。”“如果我闯祸了，你会不会骂我、打我呢？”“你是我的宝贝，怎么舍得骂你、打你。况且你闯祸了我帮你兜着。你想怎么闯祸都行。”风兮兮无语，宠溺也太过分了吧，都无法无天了。幸亏姐是穿越过来的。
