Henry V by William Shakespeare
I’d had a copy of this play for sometime, and recently I finally got around to reading it. Although I was aware of the Henry IV plays that preceded it, I didn’t really realise that they (and also Richard II) … Continue reading

Goosebumps: Welcome to Dead House by R. L. Stine
Other than having a few very vague (but fond) memories of the Goosebumps TV series, it was a franchise I’d never really gotten into that much. Recently, I finally decided to start reading the books, starting with the first in … Continue reading

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
This is probably the best ghost story I have ever read, and quite possibly even the best horror (though there are some other strong contenders). What helps this short novel by Shirley Jackson really stand out (and send shivers down … Continue reading

Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boulle
This novel tells what is probably one of the most iconic sci-fi stories of the twentieth century which is a good indicator of its quality – although the downside of this is the fact that I don’t imagine there are … Continue reading

Winter’s Heart by Robert Jordan
Winter’s Heart is a very appropriate title for the ninth Wheel of Time novel, as it’s a very wintery novel. I’ll admit, by this point, I’m feeling much less invested than I once was in the series, but I also … Continue reading

The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt
How come some people are happy and others aren’t? That’s pretty much the question that Jonathan Haidt sets out to answer with this book. It explores the ideas of what exactly makes a person happy and looks at some commonly … Continue reading
