I recently finished reading ‘The Read Aloud Handbook‘ by Jim Trelease. I am extremely happy that I picked up this book. This book was not only an excellent read, but it was also very informative. The book is essentially divided in two, where the first half [...] Read more »

Book Review – The Bell Jar

‘The Bell Jar’ is a recent classic written by the accomplished writer Sylvia Plath. This post is not so much a review of the book, but my feelings when I read it. One does not review classics, one absorbs them and becomes enriched by them.

It was hard for me to imagine myself completely [...] Read more »

Book Review – Blink: The Power of Thinking without Thinking

‘Blink: The Power of Thinking without Thinking’ is a rather interesting book on how people often behave when faced with a decision without much time to think. The author, Malcolm Gladwell, persues different studies and situations to back up his theory of how people process information and make decisions.

There will soon be a lot more book reviews

It has come to my attention that there are a lot more books that I have read that I have failed to review in my own blog. There will now be a short wave of reviews, most of the books I have read a short while ago. In the future I will try to [...] Read more »

Book Review – Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell – Part III

I finally found my treasured gift of ‘Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell’ and cracked open the last book. It took me, including interruptions from things like work and my son, about 3 days to read it. It was over way too soon.

I loved this last part! It was chock full of intrigue, [...] Read more »

Parade of Fools

I am reading a book entitled ‘Idiot America: How Stupidity Became a Virtue in the Land of the Free’ which was written by Charles R. Pierce. I am not done with the book, so this is not a full review. However I did enjoy reading one particular chapter that discussed Radio Talk Show and [...] Read more »

Book Review – How to learn any Language

I recently purchased the book ‘How to learn any language’ by Barry Farber. My inspiration for buying this book is to finally learn Spanish properly. Taking multiple years of it in Junior High, and High School and I still cannot converse in it! It’s a waste, especially if I do not attempt to fix [...] Read more »

Starting with Mr. Segundus accidentally interrupting one of Jonathan Strange’s Spells, it quickly progresses with [...] Read more »
