Welcome to my weird world!
I almost never read giant non-fiction books. That might change one day, but I'm 24 years old. Probably not happening anytime soon, especially when if I'm interested in a real story, there's an article or documentary or something on television that will tell it satisfyingly. But the story of Elizabeth Holmes is so fascinating, so... Continue Reading →
This is so not your average biography. When I was 10 years old, thanks to Gary Paulson, I had a burning desire to build a shelter in the forest and sleep in it for a night. And Into The Wild reminded me of that desire. Into the Wild is a 1996 biography that had slipped... Continue Reading →
I ended up reading the illustrated/photographed edition of this book, something which majorly contributed to my enjoyment or fascination. I'm not completely sure I'd have given this book the same grade if it weren't for the photos of real-life old paintings, ruins, museums, fields and sights that show up helping us feel we're there even...

I was able to read this in a day, and even though some of the snippets of letters Lee fabricated drag the story, it was really easy to tell why Lee's first two publications from 1972 and 80 were such hits.

A lot of you will probably assume I’m joking calling this critically acclaimed movie painful. So let me add a little more flavour to help you understand a few things about me; the only other Quentin Tarantino film I’ve seen is Inglourious Basterds, a movie I did enjoy, to put it out there. But also,... Continue Reading →
For Remembrance Day, I thought it’d be suitable enough to do a review on the woman who deserves to be on America’s 20 dollar bill, and have about 20 other things (holidays, regions, law principles, statues) named after her in her honour. Every single hero in my home country, Canada, deserves their minute of silence... Continue Reading →
