Friday, February 15th, was my friend Alex’s birthday and we went into [...]

It’s been almost a week since I’ve seen this movie, and I meant to write about it right afterwards, because the Coen Brothers have once again created a masterpiece, but I’ve been so bad with keeping up-to-date with posts. Then I was going to write about it again after the “Golden Globes”, a.k.a. a glorified [...]

I first read the book Atonement, [...]

it’s been a few days since I’ve posted, but there’s not much to update on. New York was pretty uneventful, except that I’ve never seen a store more packed than the Apple store on Fifth Avenue on Christmas Eve. Perhaps I’ll post pictures at some point later on during break (since boredom will probably set [...]

just kidding! Even though I haven’t written a book review on this blog in ages, I have obviously been reading a ridiculous amount. All of it is for classes though; I haven’t really read anything for fun in a month or so even though I really do have the time for it…I just don’t have [...]

I couldn’t believe that at long last, after a decade of reading the Harry Potter books, it would all come to an end this weekend–and I had the chance to be a part of a day that’ll go down in history, the midnight release of the seventh and final book at Borders.
So shall we have [...]

I guess I should start off by saying that I started reading this book for two reasons: 1. I read Brave New World last year and thought it was brilliant. I know it gets compared to 1984 quite often, but it’s amazing how many different arguments arise when you compare [...]

Well, so this has been longggggggggg overdue. and honestly, I think I’m going to have to reread it to fully appreciate it, but I would certainly recommend it.
Since then, I’ve read Narcissus and Goldmund, Unbearable Lightness of Being, Hamlet, and Heart of Darkness. Ok, so I actually haven’t finished the first [...]

I don’t think I’ve quoted, referenced, or talked about any book more often while reading it than I have with this book. It seems that somehow with every other conversation, something from ZAMM either directly or indirectly is able to shed insight on the situation–a rare find. After [...]

MING: wow, I can’t believe Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? took only about a collective 3 hours to read.
OTHER MING: well, that’s what reading plays are like.
MING: how come reading Death of Salesman wasn’t like that?
OTHER MING: Death of Salesman, quite simply, was not as entertaining or [...]
