As most books do not fit all of these preferences that we have, we can still appreciate books that are completely opposite than our general preferences. That is the beauty of […]

Children of Men

Imagine a barren world where the human population is slowly dying off, because humans have become infertile. Only two generations remain, the Alphas and the Omegas, and the last human being to be born has just been killed in a bar fight.  The novel described is none other than Children of Men by P.D. James.

V for Vendetta

V for Vendetta is a British graphic novel written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd. As my first graphic novel, it was initially a bit hard to adjust to reading a different style, as you read the pages from left to right, top to bottom. I also noticed that while reading a graphic […]

“Why Are You Majoring in English?”

Reading has always been an escape for me. Ever since I was a little girl, I could always be caught with a book in my hand. I cannot tell you the first-ever book that I fell in love with, because there are just too many and it is a blur, but I can tell you […]

What Have You Read This Summer?

Summer is the time when every reading lover plans to read as much as they can in hope to check as many books off of their to-read list. On any break from college, I strive to read as much as I can. During the semester, I just do not have the time to read leisurely. […]
