Superman/Batman 62 comic
This comic was a nice idea in theory. Devoting an issue to the two sidekicks of the world’s finest is a nice thought, but ultimately it doesn’t work as well as it should. Tim and Kara get together for lunch and chew the breeze and shoot the …
The Autobiography of Special Agent Dale Cooper

Novel Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
I also got to Nabokov’s ambiguous work, which for some is a horror, for others a torment of the soul and the frank weakness of a person who could not curb his passion. It is worthy of booing or regret, whether it reeks of the novel or a genius …
Database Systems by C.J. Date
Database Systems is by far one of the worst books ever. Database Systems is a book intended to explain relation databases, instead by chapter 2 you forgot what you were reading. I think the author just assumes anyone reading this book is a genius. If you …

Jonathan Livingstone Seagull by Richard Bach
If there is poetry in prose that describes the passion for going beyond limitations, that describes the struggle, the pain and the exhilaration, it is this one.

Dear John by Nicholas Sparks

Me Before You by JoJo Moyes, book

Sustained, novel by Emma Chase
Before I started reading Sustained, I had my doubts about whether I was gonna like it or not. I’ve read four Emma books before this one. The first one was Tangled, which I enjoyed tremendously, then came Holy Friggin’ Matrimony, which I thought was OK, and then Twisted, which …
