Syuk Bash is a Malaysian writer whose work explores the intersections of place, memory, and quiet resistance. With a background in storytelling shaped by Southeast Asian landscapes and global concerns, his fiction often centers on ordinary people navigating extraordinary circumstances. Farewell, Peninsular is his debut novel.

Between Shoes and Walls: Reflecting on Ashihara Yoshinobu’s Last Lecture

What makes a space “inside”? Where does “outside” begin? For Yoshinobu Ashihara, these weren’t just architectural questions, but reflections on how human beings dwell, relate, and interpret space. In his 1979 farewell lecture at the University of Tokyo, The Order of Space: Inside and Outside, Ashihara shifts our attention from walls and ceilings to something more intimate: the threshold.

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl

Clear rating
Read this expecting philosophy. Got punched in the soul instead.
Frankl survives a concentration camp, then calmly explains why life isn’t about happiness—it’s about meaning.
No fluff, no ego, just brutal clarity.

Red Dragon by Thomas  Harris
Rate this book
Clear rating
A razor-wire dive into the mind of a killer, Red Dragon is leaner, colder, and in many ways more terrifying than The Silence of the Lambs. Will Graham’s haunted intelligence vs. the quiet nightmare of Francis Dolarhyde makes for a relentlessly psycho ...more

We Do Not Part by Han Kang
Rate this book
Clear rating
We Do Not Part is delicate, devastating, and almost aggressively quiet. Han Kang writes as if every sentence might shatter under its own weight — and occasionally, it does. This isn’t a novel that explains itself. It lingers, suggests, and sometimes ...more

Modern Man In Search of a Soul by C.G. Jung
Rate this book
Clear rating
This is Jung for people who want to sound like they’ve read Jung. Modern Man in Search of a Soul is part psychological primer, part spiritual musing, and part “greatest hits” compilation — with just enough dream analysis and vague mysticism to keep i ...more

Jonathan Haidt’s central thesis: smartphones broke childhood. And then he proceeds to spend 300 pages making sure you don’t miss that point. Once would’ve been enough.

Death in the Afternoon is Hemingway at his most Hemingway: macho, meditative, and utterly convinced that bullfighting is the key to understanding life, death, Spain, and possibly literature itself.

Beren and Lúthien by J.R.R. Tolkien
Rate this book

Beren and Lúthien is Tolkien doing Tolkien, but filtered through his son’s meticulous editorial notes and a heroic amount of source-tracking. It’s the love story at the heart of Middle-earth — immortal elf maiden, mortal man, doomed romance, Silmaril ...more

Being and Time by Martin Heidegger
Rate this book
Clear rating
Being and Time is the kind of book that makes you question not just the meaning of existence, but your decision to ever open it. Heidegger sets out to redefine ontology and ends up reinventing the German language along the way. If you enjoy neologism ...more

Visual and Spatial Structure of Landscapes by Tadahiko Higuchi

Visual and Spatial Structure of Landscapes is what happens when a landscape architect tries to reverse-engineer why some views feel “right” — using diagrams, topography, and the occasional dash of geometry. Tadahiko Higuchi doesn’t romanticize nature ...more
