After a long dry for almost a half of year, rainfall finally comes in, showering the lands, mountains and forests. It’s the time for mushrooms celebrate their days. They are born in various forms on died trees, at piles of dried leaves that rotted or at trash dumps. Nature has the perfect wisdom. Giving chance to every single creature to come alive, even for just couple of days. Mushroom will then die in their own silence.

Setelah kemarau panjang selama hampir setengah tahun, curah hujan akhirnya masuk, menyirami tanah, gunung dan hutan. Ini adalah waktu jamur untuk merayakan hari-hari mereka. Mereka lahir dalam berbagai bentuk di pohon-pohon mati, di tumpukan daun kering yang membusuk atau tempat pembuangan sampah. Alam memiliki kebijaksanaan yang sempurna. Memberikan kesempatan kepada setiap makhluk untuk menjadi hidup, meskipun hanya untuk beberapa hari. Jamur kemudian akan mati dalam keheningan mereka sendiri.

Serendipity Seeking Intelligent Life on Earth
Robert Langdon, the hero of Dan Brown‘s thrillers was intriguing in The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons and The Lost Symbol. Now he is almost unbearably suave, debonair, and fascinating in Inferno.
Infernois a page turner. The author has created a formula for best sellers. Each is, in its own way, entertaining and fast-paced. Inferno is no exception. In this adventure set in Italy, loosely following stuff drawn from Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, Brown offers readers a sense of inclusion, as if we are all reading something that contains Truth and Meaning, but without requiring we perform any real mental exercise.
The formula works. Inferno — all 560 pages — whisks you along while feeding you tantalizing tidbits of apparently arcane knowledge. You feel you’ve been let into an exclusive club and taught the secret handshake.
As with all of Brown’s novels, Robert Langdon — my pick for The Most Interesting Man…
