Let me start by saying that this series of books has been a huge inspiration for me, especially to start new things and to always look for more scifi adventures to immerse myself in. Reading the first three books will always be a great memory to have while attending my first years of university, the […]

My review of The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Want to know the answer to the Great Question? Read this classic and prepare for an outrageous story with colossal scale and a truly funny adventure by the disheveled Arthur Dent.

My Review of Children of Dune by Frank Herbert
The Dune saga is essential for any science fiction reader, and if you loved the first book then the next two books are definitely worth the effort to read. I would personally say that Children of Dune is the best out of the first three books. Herbert’s world building and prolific imagery is arguably the […]
We persist as memories.
I have been reading Children of Dune by Frank Herbert, and the philosophical tones of this book are much more pronounced, in my opinion, with this book than the first two Dune books. A quote in one of the forwards of a chapter is a prime example of some of the most thought provoking things […]
The ending of this book really blew me away.
My endeavors in reading this book by the magnificent Susan Bauer never ceased to amaze me and enthrall me with it’s incredible history condensed into easy to read chapters. While it did take me 3-4 months of sporadic reading to finally finish this 700 page monster, from the very beginning I knew I was in […]

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, […]
Review of The Beast in the Cave by H.P. Lovecraft
So I have this book called The Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft that I bought a while back and I have been meaning to read more of Lovecraft’s lesser known stories. I am very familiar with his Cthulhu mythos and learned a lot about this terrifying genre of horror, also known as cosmic horror. It […]
Official Review of Borne by Jeff VanderMeer
This not going to be a good review, but fuck it I will try to do this amazing book justice. So first to start off, I have red VanerMeer’s Southern Reach Trilogy and can tell you that these books are extremely weird and launch the readers into a world that is sometimes hard to comprehend. […]

Will be posting a review on Borne, a novel by Jeff VanderMeer. I am in the process of reading this and at the time of writing this post, I am only a hundred pages away from finishing, and oh my god, this book is trippy and is something the author has taken great pride in. […]
