Another 5-Star Review for The Self-Improvement Book Club Murder!
Another five-star review for The Self-Improvement Book Club Murder, this one from Karen G. Thanks, Karen!
I've seen a spike in sales lately. Seems it's become a cult classic in Japan. I expect a feature-length anime film to be announced any day now.

The latest review of The Self-Improvement Book Club Murder is a good one!
AAA writes:
"The book is a great subtle murder mystery with unusual educational value. The plot intertwines and builds on a summary of the best-respected motivational, philosophical, and spiritual books of all time. Final plot twists inspired reading or rereading of several of the referenced books. It will continue to serve as a quick reference to the best of the best."
Thanks, Triple-A!

Rate My Haiku
Bluejay Through a Kitchen Window Drip in the kitchen
Bluejay in a barren tree
Keep pipes from freezing.
Why is haiku so fun to do? I think it's because they tend to just come to you, presenting themselves almost fully formed, arising out of a moment, very much like the moment itself.
Then you can look at it later and relive that moment, and remember that it was a moment, which in tern (no pun intended, this was supposed to be "turn") helps you to remember the present moment and come back to it quickly.
What do you think? Is this one any good? Feel free to put one of your own in comments.
