Deadman Wonderland, Volume 4 by Jinsei Kataoka This manga. I can already tell that this is going to be one of my all time favorite mangas. It may even beat out my current #1 favorite manga, a title held by Bleach. It just seems to be the perfect combination of horror, thriller, mystery, drama, and […]

Posted on June 10, 2013 2 Comments
Saga, Vol. 2 by Brian K. Vaughan Giant troll scrotum aside, this was an incredibly heartwarming and heartbreaking read. If you’ve made it this far in the series, nothing should shock you.

Mogsy: A Book That I’ve Read More Than Three Times
Posted on June 5, 2013 Leave a Comment
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien Okay, I’m going to cheat a little for this question. The thing is, I don’t typically reread books. If I were to read a book again, it would be a book that I love, and generally books that I love, I remember very, very well, and that’s why rereading isn’t […]

It was the fate deserving of his crime against king and country, but I never could appreciate the reasoning given for his betrayal as there seemed to […]
Book Review: Wild Seed by Octavia E. Butler

Wild Seed by Octavia E. Butler What a fascinating book. I read Mind of My Mind first, where I met the main characters here, but as that was not their story, they did not have much depth. Reading Wild Seed, it made me somewhat disappointed that they did not have as much to do in […]
Book Review: Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
Posted on September 15, 2011 Leave a Comment
Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman As a sequel of sorts to American Gods and based on word of mouth that told me that this was very much unlike the much darker predecessor, I wasn’t sure what to expect, although, anything centred around Anansi promised to be charming. The book started rather slowly with an intentionally boring character, Fat Charlie Nancy, who’s […]
