This novel is much more than just a historical story, it's like the Name of the Rose and the filmography of Andrei Tarkovsky combined into one with some Dostojevsky and Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring by Kim Ki-duk. It has everything: a murder mystery, allegorical storytelling, lots of symbolism, Islamic mysticism, philosophy, romance...
My Name is Red is simply the best book I have ever read in my life.

Easily the best thing John Steinbeck ever wrote. East of Eden is kind of allegorical biblical story about one sleepy rural village and the sin that lured itself in.

Didn't really care about the plot or characters, but the presentation of the power structures and metaphors of the novel are amazing. The flow of capital and rubber is like a flow of Amazon river, along comes vice, prostitution and capitalism, which in itself has the power over people kinda like gods or spirits of nature, etc.

An Ottoman sultan wants to give a prince of Venice a beautiful book full of miniature paintings, but since Islam forbids painting people or animals a group of master painters work tirelessly in secrecy, not even knowing the real identities of each other. The story begins when one of the painters murders another and throws his body into a dried well.
One of the deepest novels I have ever read. It's like a mix of Dostoyevsky and some spiritual eastern film like Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring. Not only is it philosophical, but it also has religious mysticism, history and even a message about the position of modern Turkey as a mediator between the East and the West.
It's just beautiful.

Finally something new and creative from Disney. Sadly, it's still Disney so they couldn't take things to the absolute max, but it's still really damn funny show.

M.R. James was a master of traditional English ghost stories and these sure are quaint little short stories, but they might be a little too old-school for modern audience.

I didn't like it. There's so much things stuffed into this mess that it made my head hurt, very few of them are any creative. This time there's lots of political correct stuff too instead of just innocent fun, so be prepared to face the wrath of the internet.
