Dec 27th
So, for the remaining four days of the year, I’m not going to be posting much, since I’d rather wait for the new year to announce whichever book I’ll be reading next. In the meantime, though, I would so enjoy/appreciate it if you would ask/tell me something, anything, so that this blog does not become completely barren until January. But, until the new year, happy landings, and...

Stay gold.
I must be honest with you, I actually finished The Outsiders quite a while ago, but I just could not move on from it. It was that good. But let me rather get to the point before I get all emotional. For a while, I wondered what the big fuss surrounding The Outsiders was all about. I found out soon enough. The language used is colourful, but without trying too hard, and the characters are as...

Same to you, Pooh Bear, and twice on Thursdays.
A little side note before I begin: I realise that today’s review is a bit…off, but there are some very pressing circumstances that need to be taken into consideration here. Now, to business. The House at Pooh Corner was as much a revisiting of childhood as it was a means of escape from the so-called “real world” with its responsibilities and obligations and whatnot. There...

Look at this tangle of thorns.
It gives me great pleasure to present to you my first review (of hopefully many) on this blog. Here goes nothing. Let me first say that, I was hesitant, yet at the same time curious and excited to read Lolita. Admittedly, I found it at times very hard not to feel sorry for Humbert Humbert. This is a book that makes one genuinely think, ask insightful questions, and wonder and ponder and meditate...

A random update for your reading displeasure.
It’s only the 8th today and already I’m nearly done with Lolita. I have a feeling that December may be a really fruitful month in terms of books. If I’m lucky my “Thoughts on Lolita” post will be up either tomorrow or Saturday. No promises though. But let’s hope.

An Introduction
Starting in December, 2011, I will review one book (or more) every month for a year (and hopefully beyond). This is part of an attempt to force me to read more and also to help me better my analyzation of books and my writing skills in preparation for the course I want to take at university. Prior to each review, I will announce the book I am reading, and throughout the month, I will post...
