Ray Bradbury (August 22, 1920 – June 5, 2012)

This short article in The New Yorker by Ray Bradbury shows just how important things in life influence us later.

A great artist is always great - either while being a child or a grown-up man :)

R.I.P.

Brainstorming - The New Yorker

As some of you might know, I do not read 'beauty magazines' (not 'because they make you feel ugly' but because I have more important things to do in my life). There are, however, a couple of editions I do read. One of my favourite reading materials in English is tjn or The New Yorker - a magazine with aura and tradition. I know that some of you would definitely appreciate the beauty of language; it also does have a cartoon of the day for those who don't want to bother with longer texts :)

I just came across this article on brainstorming - why not start with this? And maybe find something of your interest afterwards?

The ambivalent Shakespeare

The question of authenticity of Shakespeare and his works has always been an issue. Scientists have to prove the existence of the great author, there is a special foundation in Stratford-upon-Avon that works with the audience. The most recent news you can read in this BBC article.
