The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
Tom Sawyer is one of those literary characters who are so ingrained into the public consciousness, that even if you don’t know anything about him, the name will still sound familiar. This was kind of the situation I was in … Continue reading

Exotic Excursions by Anthony Nanson
This collection of short stories opens with a very interesting essay called “The Allure of the Other” and I know that a lot of people skip over introductions in books, but in this particular case, I heavily recommend you read … Continue reading

Assassination Classroom, Volume 8 by Yusei Matsui
As much as I enjoyed all of the volumes of Assassination Classroom up to this point, if there was one small criticism I had to give, it would be that Koro-sensei stops tensions from getting high. Sure, there’re his claims … Continue reading

How the Grinch Stole Christmas! by Dr. Seuss

Assassination Classroom, Volume 7 by Yusei Matsui
Volume 6 ended with the cliffhanger of looming exams and Volume 7 starts with those exams taking place. Once again, these are represented as epic battles between the students and large monsters. Though I generally don’t find exam storylines to … Continue reading

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
After the first two novels (which were both very good), Arthur Conan Doyle started writing short stories about Holmes and Watson. Despite my love for the full length novels, I actually feel that short stories are a better format for … Continue reading
