Wishes. We all make them, either silently to ourselves or possibly as a breathless whisper as we drop a coin in a fountain. The reason behind them can range from whimsical to deadly serious.

James  Sugre is a vampire. He has lived for centuries, but has made some questionable choices. Bad choices, when it comes to investments. Now, he is broke. He has no money and is deep in debt.

कनाडाई पत्रकार/उपन्यासकार कोरी डॉक्टरॉव की हाल ही में प्रकाशित पुस्तक 'एनशिटिफिकेशन' में भले ही 'ऑन बुलशिट' नामक पुस्तक से कहीं अधिक सामग्री हो, लेकिन इस 338 पृष्ठों की गैर-काल्पनिक पुस्तक के कुछ अध्याय इसी तरह की शैली को अपनाते हैं। 'बुलशिट' एक व्यंग्यात्मक लघु रचना है (जो हैरी जी. फ्रैंकफर्ट के 1986 के निबंध पर आधारित है)। 'एनशिटिफिकेशन' का उद्देश्य...

We all know what a “girly drink” is: a drink that is sweet, brightly colored, generally served in a stemmed glass and often with an umbrella or some other type of decoration. “Serious” drinks, drinks for men, do not have or need these accoutrements. Can women not enjoy bourbon, scotch...
