You have somehow stumbled over my personal website.
Sorry about that.
At the moment most of what’s on this site is my personal database of my reading activity, but if you care there’s also some other stuff here.

The Outsider is a book I really enjoyed reading. There was something about the sterile nature of the narration that really appealed to me, and then, and since, I’ve come to really enjoy first-person perspectives from people who it might be easy to describe as insane, but who, when reading their perspectives, might be surprisingly justified in thinking about things the way they do.
Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his curious comrades in arms as they hurtle through space powered by pure improbability - and desperately in search of a place to eat. Among Arthur’s motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a long-time friend and contributor to the The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMilan, a fellow Earth refuge who’s gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, who suffers nothing and no one gladly.
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is the original title of a novella written by the famous Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson that was first published in 1886. The work is commonly known today as The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, or simply Jekyll & Hyde. It is about a London lawyer named John Gabriel Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde.
This children’s books is a true classic. I read this book when growing up, and as it was lying around in a pile of books at our cottage I re-read it later. The rating I gave to this book then is probably based largely on nostalgia. I guess it’s considered a classic for a reason, and it’s easy to see how this can be a fun book for very young children.
Three Sisters is a really interesting one. I really, really, disliked it as I was reading it. I found it pointless and boring, and had a hard time following what was going on. Since then I’ve been reliably informed that it is actually a very funny play, and that I really should give it another chance. I will do at some point: if I ever have a chance to see a production of Three Sisters I will, and then re-read it, hopefully getting things I just didn’t get the first time around.
