İki gün önceki kitap kulübü toplantımızda okuduğumuz kitabı her konuda tartışmaya açarken ilgili konulardan birisi de başlığıydı....

At our book club meeting two days ago, when we were discussing the book we were reading on each topic, one of the relevant topics was the title. If I am not mistaken, I had an article in which I talked about this title. This time, however, I would like to discuss a more interesting and different aspect of it. Our book was the novel "Definitely Maybe", one of the works of Arkadi and Boris Strugastki. If you've never heard of it, it might sound a bit fascinating. That wouldn't

Sonbaharın tonları ya da kışın durgunluğu ne getirecek bilinmez ama kilitlendiğimiz anlar bizi her daim bulabilir. Yani ilhamınızı tekrar...

We don't know what the shades of autumn or the stillness of winter will bring, but the moments we're trapped in can always find us. So you may find yourself losing your inspiration again and again. As this has happened to me, I wanted to write a recent article about where I find inspiration. It will be a reminder for me as I think about it. There may be some things I have mentioned in my previous articles, but I will note the ones that are good for me these days without readi

Okuduklarımın aksine izlediğim dizi ve filmleri not almayı hala huy edinememiş biri olarak Eylül ayı için ilk hamlemi gerçekleştirmek ve bu ayda izlediğim ve sevdiğim filmleri sizlerle paylaşmak istiyorum. Eskiden daha sıkı bir genel izleyici olduğumdan bu konu hakkında çokça yazabilirdim ama son birkaç yıldır izleme süremi çokça düşürmüş gibi görünüyorum. Yine de bu ay biraz istisna oldu diyebilirim. Çok fazla sürpriz kaçıran/spoiler vermeden yazacağım. Photo by  Jeremy Yap

Bir kitap mağazasına uğradığımda kitabı almadan evvel beni kendisine çekip çekmediğine dair bazı testler yaparım. Öncelik elbette yazarın...

When I visit a bookshop, before I buy a book, I carry out a number of tests to see whether I am attracted to it or not. In the first place, of course, is the recognition of the author, the attractiveness of the title and the style of the cover. I think this is inevitable, especially in our time. Of course, these may be less important for the work of a well-known or bestselling author. If the book in my hands passes the first test, I read the back cover. I find it very importa

Geçen sene haziran ayında başladığım yazma serüvenimin üstünden bir yılı aşkın bir süre geçti. Aynı zamanda bu onlarca yazı demekti. Öyle...

More than a year has passed since I began my writing adventure in June last year. In that time I have written dozens of articles. So much so that this is my two hundredth article. While I was writing in the last few weeks, I wanted to re-read what I had written in an old article. And what did I see! I had written it in the first month of this year. I couldn't believe it. Months have officially passed since then, but it doesn't feel like it. The day I celebrated New Year's Day

İnsanlar bildiğini sandıklarını, onları o anlık da olsa derinlemesine merak etmedikçe öğrenemiyor. Bu senenin Eylül ayına girerken, ki en...

People cannot learn what they think they know unless they are deeply curious about it, even for a moment. As we entered September this year, which is probably in the top three of my favourites, I learned the other meaning of the month. The first month of autumn, the first day of the second spring of the year. I was a child who loved dictionaries, I always had them in my hands. It was one of our primary school teachers' instructions, and I did the same for English in high scho
