Lame Rocks

Well, I don't have to tell anyone that nerds and freaks are the new cool. Actually, it's always been that way, but to keep it cool, the other side has to pretend it isn't, yadda yadda yadda, excrutiatingly tiresome topic... Anyway, making the "losers" heroes has always been the storytellers smartest move. All the other "losers" and "freaks" can relate and stuff. Here are few really great stories that I've read/seen lately and that I really enjoyed.

Heroes (TV show)

Random (or maybe not) people are discovering newly gained powers. They do not know each other, but soon their paths cross. Their destinies are linked. But how? That's just what they want to find out...


Just amazing. Makes you want super powers like the ability to fly, or walk through walls etc...The storyline(s) is intriguing and the actors are just perfect. The development of the whole thing and of the characters is actually believable. Believe me when I say that it is very much worth watching!

Rome (TV show)

The who’s who of Rome: A soap that evolves around the lives of the antique Rome’s celebrities like Julius Caesar and his family and two losers whose lives are shaken by the intrigues and political games that reign Rome.

A lot of sex and violence, which conveys the watcher the ambiance of the time and place. It’s thrilling and works you over.

Spartan (novel)

The story unfolds around two brothers, two sons of a Spartan family. One has a lame foot and is abandoned by his father who is forced to do so by Spartan law. He is found by a shepherd who belongs to the race of the Helots, once proud people who have been enslaved by the Spartans. He grows up to be a warrior himself, even though he is never told of his true provenience. The other becomes a proud warrior of Sparta. One day their paths meet and from then on their lives change…

This tale takes you on a historical and emotional journey. Not only does the author create scenery that sends you back time, but he lets room for interpretation and keeps enthralling you with an epic plot. Plus, this story incites one’s interest history. You might even learn something…
