Well, after a considerable stretch of time during which I thoroughly enjoyed every book I read, here comes the one that left me with mixed feelings.

This is one of the best autobiographical books I have read so far. And I do love reading biographies and autobiographies. In the Book Reviews section, there are only some such books listed. I’ll be adding more. “Will” by Will Smith has the most important feature that makes an autobiography worth reading: sincerity. I’m not... Continue Reading →
I’m sorry it’s been a while. We haven’t spoken for ten years. But let’s focus on the bright side. I have so much to share with you.
