Kinokuniya Reader | May 2016

RECENT BESTSELLERS Everyone has an idea for a dream business. For some, it may be a continuation of their current work but under their own leadership. For others, it might be a completely different pursuit, a hobby-turned-profession. In Thailand, the barriers to starting one’s own business are relatively low. Here, one sees individuals starting businesses on the web, in converted shophouses, or even right on the street. Office space and labor costs are affordable, paperwork and bureaucracy are not too tedious, and regulations that might create great expeneses in other countries are not as onerous here. Taken together with new trends such as Facebook or other social media platforms, you can be on your way quite quickly. In the spirit of entrepreneurship, this month’s Reader highlights business and start-up guides with tips for all you dreamers out there, hoping to apply your own ideas to the marketplace. We also highlight a range of new and interesting books on a variety of subjects. Local author Lawrence Osborne has released a new novel, while the famous Monocle brand has tackled the subject of “How to Run a Nation”. Meanwhile, Bob Dylan has set the lyrics of one of his most famous songs to a new children’s story, and famous media mogul Arianna Huffington takes on a topic that makes many of us fret: sleep deprivation.

What books are new to our shelves this month? Here is a selection of titles that avid readers have been waiting for. Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It Jonas Jonasson

How to Make a Nation: A Monocle Guide Monocle

ISBN 9780008152079

ISBN 9783899556483

It’s always awkward when five thousand kronor goes missing. When it happens at a certain grotty hotel in south Stockholm, it’s particularly awkward because the money belongs to the hitman currently staying in room seven. Per Persson, the hotel receptionist, just wants to mind his own business, and preferably not get murdered. Hunters in the Dark Lawrence Osborne ISBN 9781784700362

Robert Grieve – pushing thirty and eager to side-step a life of quiet desperation as a small-town teacher – decides to go missing. As he crosses the border from Thailand to Cambodia, he tests the threshold of a new future. And on that first night, a small windfall precipitates a chain of events involving a bag of ‘jinxed’ money, a suave American, a corrupt policeman and a rich doctor’s daughter, in which Robert’s life is changed forever.

What characteristics and values define a country? Which countries are particularly successful in terms of education, economics, or culture? In this book, Monocle provides a global perspective on the distinct qualities of nations. How to Make a Nation: A Monocle Guide is a thought-provoking primer that informs and inspires. The best ideas don’t need to be invented – they need to be applied. The Great Divide: Unequal Societies and What We Can Do About Them Joseph E. Stiglitz ISBN 9780393352184

New in Paperback! In The Great Divide, Joseph E. Stiglitz expands on the diagnosis he offered in his best-selling book The Price of Inequality and suggests ways to counter America’s growing problem. With his signature blend of clarity and passion, Stiglitz argues that inequality is a choice – the cumulative result of unjust policies and misguided priorities.

Off the Page Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer

Why Save the Bankers? And Other Essays on Our Economics and Political Crisis Thomas Piketty and Seth Ackerman

ISBN 9780553535594

ISBN 9780544868847

Delilah and Oliver shouldn’t be together. But they are together. And just as they’re getting used to the possibility that happily ever after may really, truly be theirs, the universe sends them a message they can’t ignore: they won’t be allowed to rewrite their story. Delilah and Oliver must decide how much they’re willing to risk for love and what it takes to have a happy ending in a world where the greatest adventures happen off the page. The Last Boy and Girl in the World Siobhan Vivian ISBN 9781481475471

From the critically acclaimed author of The List comes a stunning new novel about a girl who must say goodbye to everything she knows after a storm wreaks havoc on her hometown. What if your town was sliding underwater and everyone was ordered to pack up and leave? How would you and your friends spend your last days together? If Not for You Bob Dylan and David Walker ISBN 9781451648812

Iconic singer-songwriter Bob Dylan and illustrator David Walker team up to present this charming, cozy, and touching interpretation of “If Not for You.” In this inventive interpretation of Bob Dylan’s 1970 song “If Not for You,” illustrator David Walker beautifully imagines Dylan’s lyrics as portraying the bottomless love between a parent and a child—and the magical experiences they might share together. Monster Hunter: Flash Hunter, Vol. 1 Keiiichi Hikami and Shin Yamamoto ISBN 9781421584256

It is an age when monsters rule the world, soaring through the sky, treading the earth and filling the seas. Humanity survives on the fringes, relying on a special kind of hero to defend the people from danger—the Monster Hunters! Hunting giant man-eating beasts is no job for the weak-hearted, but along with courage, it takes skill and experience to be a good Hunter.

For years, Piketty has wrestled with this problem in his monthly newspaper column, which pierces the surface of current events to reveal the economic forces underneath. Why Save the Bankers? brings together selected columns, now translated and annotated, from the period book-ended by the September 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers and the Paris attacks of November 2015. The Path: A New Way to Think about Everything Michael Puett ISBN 9780241004500

One of Harvard’s most popular professors explains how thinkers from Confucius to Xunzi can transform our daily lives. In the first book of its kind, The Path draws on the work of six of the great – but largely unknown – Chinese philosophers to offer a radical and life-changing guide to human flourishing. Sleep Revolution Arianna Huffington ISBN 9780804189118

In her new book, Arianna Huffington, the president and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post and the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Thrive, tackles the importance of sleep in our lives and why so many of us are sleep deprived, the sobering impact of sleep deprivation on performance and long-term success, and how each of us can take control of our lives and live more fully and be more engaged by being more rested and able to tackle the inevitable challenges we face. Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike Phil Knight ISBN 9781501150111

Shoe Dog is a great American story about luck, grit, know-how, and the magic alchemy of a handful of eccentric characters who came together to build Nike. In this candid and riveting memoir, for the first time ever, Nike founder and CEO Phil Knight shares the inside story of the company’s early days as an intrepid start-up and its evolution into one of the world’s most iconic, game-changing, and profitable brands.

Book Smart

This month in Book Smart, we take a closer look at the upcoming Avengers hit.

With the first trailer officially released, we are now on the road to Captain America: Civil War, a movie that will pit Captain America against Iron Man, and split the Avengers in two. While the film is guaranteed to make some major departures from its comic book source material, there are still some moments from the Marvel event that we’re hoping make it into film. Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps – one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Civil War Movie Edition Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government Mark Millar and Steve McNiven oversight and accountability.

Superfans can’t miss these titles! ISBN 9781302900199

The Marvel Universe is changing. In the wake of a tragedy, Capitol Hill proposes the Super Hero Registration Act, requiring all costumed heroes to unmask themselves before the government. Divided, the nation’s greatest champions must each decide how to react - a decision that will alter the course of their lives forever! Reprinting the bestselling graphic novel, featuring a new movie photo cover! Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War: The Art of the Movie Marvel Comics ISBN 9780785198185

Picking up where the blockbuster hit Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War sees Steve Rogers leading the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability: A governing body will now determine when to enlist the team’s services. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, leaving the world exposed to a nefarious plot from a new, shadowy player. Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. return as Captain America and Iron Man, two heroes with the same goal -to protect the world -but with very different methods. Get the inside details in this new collectible volume! Filled with exclusive concept art, production stills, and commentary from cast and crew, including returning directors Anthony and Joe Russo, and producer Kevin Feige, this collection is a prize for any fan. Go behind the scenes as Marvel Studios once again revolutionizes the silver-screen Super Hero!

Describing his role in the plot, Evans said, “Tony [Stark] actually thinks we should be signing these accords and reporting to somebody and Cap, who’s always been a company man and has always been a soldier, actually doesn’t trust anymore. Given what happened in Cap 2, I think he kind of feels the safest hands are his own.” Scarlett Johansson, who reprises her role as Natasha Romanof/Black Widow, says her character is “looking to strategize her position, putting herself in a place where she is able to let the powers that be fight it out or whatever amongst themselves” in order for her to “have a better perspective of what’s really going on.” Meanwhile, Marvel Comics President Kevin Feige says, “This is the Civil War of the Cinematic Universe, which will be greatly inspired by the “Civil War” of the comic universe, but we have a very different continuity going on. So this will be Civil War based off all the other films you’ve seen up until this point, particularly Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron…” Get ready to pick a side and join the nonstop action playing out on two fronts when Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War open in Thailand theaters on 27 April, 2016.
