Profound, terrifying, and beautiful. A world where individual personality is all but removed is a distorted utopian nightmare that people are so warped by – the world of Ford is social conditioning and capitalist materialism to a horrific extreme. The work is powerful and still serves as a message of why not to become passiveContinue reading “Brave New World by Aldous Huxley”

The Planets by Andrew Cohen and Brian Cox
Space is one of my interests so I already knew that this book was going to be up my alley – and I also enjoy Brian Cox’s writing style ( though I hadn’t read Andrew Cohen before). It was fascinating to see how each planet in the Solar System affects the whole – for betterContinue reading “The Planets by Andrew Cohen and Brian Cox”
Life Between the Tides by Adam Nicolson
The book is written with very poetic language and makes for a very beautiful read. Nicolson cycles through talking about creatures of the rockpools, the ocean tides, the sea shore, and how the effect of humans can shape the shoreline but also how the reverse can be true. He touches upon science, history, and philosophyContinue reading “Life Between the Tides by Adam Nicolson”

Hello and welcome to my personal collection of spooky books
What I read in 2022
So hello again from the other side of the new year! I decided to try a video without a backing track this time so let me know if you guys like that or if you prefer the music.
I thought I would go through all of the books that I read in (some of) 2022 since I started writing them down. I will absolutely do the same for this year with a much more filled in list.

Book Review of Oz by Bobbie Darbyshire
So I said that I wouldn’t write reviews for fiction because it would hinder the experience of getting lost in a book – and going into a book wanting to review it is still something I won’t do. But this one, that I found today in the bargain box due to a slightly damaged spine,Continue reading “Book Review of Oz by Bobbie Darbyshire”

Book Review of The Hollow Crown by Dan Jones
The Hollow Crown is the second book that I have read by Dan Jones (and I have just bought his new book Power and Thrones which I am very much looking forward to reading), the first being the Plantagenets, which I fully enjoyed. Having also watched his series Great British Castles (many times) which heContinue reading “Book Review of The Hollow Crown by Dan Jones”
Book Review of What I talk about when I talk about Running by Haruki Murakami
If I could ever say that a book had made me at least even think about picking up regular exercise of any kind, the one that comes closest is Murakami’s memoir about writing and running, What I talk about when I talk about running. I have been a fan of Murakami’s writing ever since readingContinue reading “Book Review of What I talk about when I talk about Running by Haruki Murakami”
