I'm an avid reader. Check out some of my book reviews
Breath
Tim Winton
“Tim Winton doesn't waste a word. A coming-of-age story about adrenaline addiction that hits much deeper than it first appears.”
The Song of Achilles
Madeline Miller
“A brilliant retelling — more plot-driven than Circe but compelling from start to finish.”
Disgrace
J.M. Coetzee
“Post-colonial guilt and fall from grace. Coetzee is an amazing writer.”
Techgnosis
Erik Davis
“A dense web of ideas — a dizzying mix of technology, mysticism, and culture. One of my favourite books.”
Cloud Atlas
David Mitchell
East of Eden
John Steinbeck
Gardens of the Moon
Steven Erikson
“Dense and daunting, but I found myself compulsively reading it.”
The Name of the Wind
Patrick Rothfuss
Just Kids
Patti Smith
Shop Class as Soulcraft
