Literary journey of an office career escapee
Robin Williams was an exceptional artist, extraordinary in many ways. I hadn’t known it before, but I know that now, after reading his biography “Robin” by Dave Itzkoff. I am glad that the author undertook the task of revealing the person behind the celebrity. In all honesty, I cannot say that he has fully succeeded.... Continue Reading →

What a wild ride this story turned out to be! Every chapter brought a surprise, and I simply had to turn the pages to learn where it was all leading. The plot twist at the end was mind-blowing but so fitting for the atmosphere of mystery and adventure. “India Dymond” by K.D. McNiven took me... Continue Reading →

My son loves reading, and he especially adores fairytales. Even though he is already at the age when he doesn’t need his parents to read to him before sleep, I knew that he’d enjoy a collection of bedtime stories that he could read himself. “Fairytales Live Here” by Ellen Khodakivska proved to be a perfect...

After reading “Tortilla Flat” by John Steinbeck for the first time a while ago, I was unsure of how I felt about it. I did not like the characters; that much I could say. My attitude towards people who choose life without obligations and, consequently, common comforts, is conflicted. The reason isn’t the lack of... Continue Reading →

But any book should have at least some structure that readers could follow. “Hell's Angels” by Hunter S. Thompson had none. I was... Continue Reading →
