When asked to do whatever when I was growing up (and even today), I always felt like saying, “No thanks… I’d rather read.” Because, the truth is… there’s precious little I’d rather do than read a good book. I enjoy vegging out in front of the TV, or watching movies, but nothing beats the inner serenity and total immersion felt when I curl up with a book that says something about myself or the world in general, or a book that introduces me to characters so vivid I feel as though I actually know them… the feeling’s not altogether common, so for me it’s about finding that book into which you just want to lose yourself completely. 

I love discussing books and authors, and so that’s what I’m going to do here. I may mention a TV series or film here or there, because beneath the rubbish that is reality TV and recycled dramas, there is some original/creative/compelling/meaningful stuff out there. 

Books will be recommended and discussed, and some of my favorite authors will also be profiled here and there. There’s so much out there to read, or even to watch, that if you actually had to consume all that media you’d go crazy. So here comes what I have found to be the best out there.

My humble opinion.
