How Korean Corn Dogs Changed My Life
Author: Alice Amelia
This book stands out as a compelling blend of cultural exploration and personal growth. Alice’s journey from England to Seoul is both timely and relatable, capturing the allure of chasing dreams abroad while not shying away from the realities of culture shock and displacement. What makes this story particularly engaging is its honest portrayal of the K-drama industry—glamorous on the surface, yet deeply demanding beneath. The narrative thoughtfully explores themes of identity, belonging, and body image, with Alice’s struggles adding emotional depth and authenticity. Balancing humour with heavier moments, the writing remains accessible and engaging throughout. It is an appealing pick for readers drawn to contemporary fiction with both heart and substance. Ultimately, the story resonates as a journey of resilience and self-discovery, reminding readers that growth often comes from discomfort and the courage to fully embrace change.

Manglish (New Edition)
Author: Lee Su Kim, Stephen J. Hall
For readers who love language with a local twist, this book offers a fun and nostalgic celebration of how Malaysians truly speak. This third edition builds on its signature humour with even more quirky expressions, hybrid words, and creatively named people, food, and drinks that reflect our ever-evolving linguistic culture. In an age shaped by social media and AI, the book also highlights how spontaneous Manglish wordplay may be fading, but not disappearing. Malaysians continue to code-switch effortlessly, blending multiple languages in everyday conversations, making Manglish a unique reflection of identity and community. Adding to its charm are cartoons by renowned Malaysian cartoonist Zunar, alongside new illustrations by author Lee Su Kim. Light-hearted yet insightful, it is a delightful read that captures the wit and rhythm of Malaysian speech.

Chip War
Author: Chris Miller
Chip War is a gripping and accessible deep dive into the history of microchips and their powerful role in shaping the modern world. The author presents a complex subject with clarity, tracing the evolution of chips from their early beginnings during World War II, through the Cold War and the Space Race, to today’s tech-driven landscape. What makes this book especially compelling is its global perspective, exploring how different countries and companies have risen and fallen in the race for semiconductor dominance. It also highlights how government policies have both driven innovation and, at times, fallen short. More than just a historical account, it offers a revealing look at how deeply our economies, technologies, and even military power depend on microchips. Insightful and thought-provoking, Chip War is essential reading for anyone curious about the invisible forces powering our everyday lives.

《素食者》
作者：韩江
此书以三部曲形式勾勒出一场惊心动魄的身体反抗。英惠因恶梦而变成素食者。她从食素到渴望化为植物，是对暴力世界的极端逃避与无声抗议。小说通过三个视角：英惠丈夫、姐夫和姐姐仁惠，层层剥开韩国社会的父权暴力。英惠丈夫将她视为家务工具与泄欲对象，当妻子“异常”时便毫不犹豫抛弃；姐夫以艺术之名将她作为欲望客体，无视英惠因疾病而无法做出正确的判断，仍然对她伸出魔掌；而父亲则用最原始的肢体暴力试图粉碎她的意志，甚至强迫她吃肉。在这三重压迫下，英惠唯一的反抗手段便是自己的身体——拒绝肉食、拒绝进食、拒绝作为“动物”存在。英惠的姐姐仁惠作为“正常”女性的代表，始终坚韧忍耐，却在照顾妹妹的过程中逐渐理解：顺从并未让她获得真正的自由，只是将痛苦内化为心中“漆黑的洞口”。小说结尾，仁惠阻止医院为英惠强行插管，在凝视路边如火焰般燃烧的树木的那一刻，她终于明白英惠的选择不是疯狂，而是别无选择的最后尊严。当女性的声音被社会噤声，身体便成为最后的抵抗阵地——哪怕这抵抗通往的是自我消灭。

《把爱带回家》
作者：冯以量
女人恨着母亲的重男轻女，却把这份伤害延续到了自己女儿身上，导致女儿叛逆。女人恨霸道的父亲，于是成为家中保护妈妈和弟弟、与父亲抗争的战斗者。为了与异族男友结婚，她选择离家出走，最终却因丈夫外遇而再度离开。38岁的男人，在外人眼中充满魅力，实则把自己的婚姻与家庭处理得一塌糊涂。他无法与患有忧郁症的妻子正常沟通，发生外遇，妻子以死相逼，儿子跪地求他别走——如同当年他跪着求父亲不要离开一样。他重蹈了父亲的覆辙。这本再版书，收录了每个在家庭关系中受过伤害或伤害过别人的故事。他们向社会“无声”地求救，他们需要被引领走出家庭带来的创伤，而作者正是扮演着这个角色，并把他们的故事集结成书，策划成舞台剧和分享会，希望能提醒我们：每个人永远比自己以为的更有选择。那些父母没给的，我们可以学习、创造；而父母留下的憎恨，我们也可以选择还给他们，不必继承，也不必复制。读者可以从每个案例中看到，一个受伤的家庭，若没有好好疗愈，伤害便会延续到下一代。而真正能治愈伤害的关键，是“爱”，才能接纳宇宙的奇迹，让你真正掌控自己的命运。
