If you are fascinated by faith, and constantly inquiring of history, like I am, then Laurus deserves a place near the top of your reading list.
Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry
WB Yeats, a famous Irish poet and playwright in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, undertook to collect the folktales of his homeland.
Who Were the Celts? Review
Duffy answers his titular question with a simple answer of “basically everyone,” which struck me immediately as being a bit overly broad and inclusive.
Animal Farm Review
On its surface, Animal Farm feels rather silly – the idea of animals, led by hyper-intelligent pigs, taking over a farm from humans who are entirely impotent to reclaim the small territory, is difficult to take seriously at times – but the reader must recall that Animal Farm is not so much a traditional novel as we think of the form as it is a fairy tale or a fable.
The Shadow of What Was Lost Review
This review may seem critical, but The Shadow of What Was Lost is not bad. If I were reading it ten years ago, I’d probably jump right into the sequel.
The Sun Also Rises Review
I found The Sun Also Rises a disappointingly ordinary book from a purportedly extraordinary author.
Paradise Lost Review
Paradise Lost honestly read at points more like genre fiction than like a piece of classic religious literature, and I do not in any way mean that to be construed as an insult.
The Quiet Americans Review
If I'm going to read a book about more modern times, therefore, I like it to be one that doesn't merely retread the same worn ground as other histories with some purportedly new-fangled interpretation or spin that never quite lives up to its advertisements. The Quiet Americans fit the bill perfectly.
Good Omens Review
A few years ago, Amazon Prime released a television adaptation, one of those mini-series, of the Neil Gaiman-Terry Pratchett collaboration Good Omens, and it was amongst the best and most faithfully adapted pieces I’ve ever seen.
Cradle Series Review
Wight managed to produce in Cradle a series that was fresh, original, fast-paced, fun, and engaging, making him most certainly an rising writer to watch.
