Surah Al-Baqarah was easily one of the worst, most tedious reads ever and is a prime example of how (supposedly) no man can produce anything like even a single surah of the Quran. It's because any self-respecting writer would see what they wrote, burn it, then turn themselves in to a mental hospital or hurl... Continue Reading →
I had heard it said by several of my friends that junior year was going to be the worst year of high school...and they were kind-of right. It wasn't that it was the absolute worst year of my life or anything. What made it the hardest academic year for me was just the massive workload... Continue Reading →
After a week-long break, we're back to Flippin' Fatwa Fridy, but this time, we're no longer in the Introduction, but are finally in the religious text itself. Part of this is because I couldn't remember everything else wrong with the Introduction and didn't care to find everything else that was wrong with it, and part... Continue Reading →
I wanted to write about this a few months ago when it was first announced that Greta Gerwig was planning to cast Meryl Streep as Aslan in her new version of C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. However, back then it was just rumors, and no one knew for sure if all the hype was actually... Continue Reading →
Aaaanndd...once again it's time to do a review about a book I was required to read for school this year. Having only five weeks of school left before summer break, the books required for my British Literature class seem to be ending with a bang. Most recently, I finished C.S. Lewis' The Great Divorce, which,... Continue Reading →
Two books that I was assigned for my class on British literature was Lewis Caroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/ Through the Looking Glass and Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie. Both are classic children's stories that I was familiar with growing up, but it wasn't until I read them this year that I realized that both... Continue Reading →
Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë are two of the greatest female authors to have ever lived. Charlotte Brontë, having been born a year before Austen died, was familiar with her work and famously said of Pride and Prejudice in a letter to George Henry Lewes in January 1848: “Miss Austen being, as you say, without 'sentiment,'...

If any of you guys have been with me since I first started my blog (thank you if you have been), you'll know that one of the first book reviews I ever wrote on here was a review of Charlotte Bronte's book, Jane Eyre, a book that I thoroughly disliked for what I saw to... Continue Reading →
Mary Shelley was an interesting person. Her father was an atheist and encouraged her to adhere to his anarchist political beliefs. She had a rich education and when she was a teenager, she was the mistress, then wife of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. That meant that she had many social connections with prominent writers...

Of all of Jane Austen's books, I think Northanger Abbey gets the least recognition. If it hadn't been for the fact that my copies of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility are both annotated, I probably never would've heard about it, much less read it. However, here we are. I read Northanger Abbey and... Continue Reading →
