The Mythmakers by John  Hendrix
Rate this book

I very much enjoyed this book and was really torn between 4 and 5 stars... I thought the mix of graphic/text and text was interesting and helpful. Helpful in the sense that even though this isn't a short book, it's still and impossible task to tell t ...more

A Murder Is Announced by Agatha Christie

Clear rating
I enjoyed this, but was maybe not in the right mood? Twisty and turny, but having Miss Marple "off screen" doing all her sleuthing felt a bit like cheating. It was quite well narrated - I will have to give it a go again in future. ...more

William Shakespeare
“Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a special
providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now,
'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be
now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the
readiness is all.”
William Shakespeare, Hamlet

Sylvia Plath
“I felt very still and empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Timothy Findley
“People can only be found in what they do.”
Timothy Findley, The Wars

Edward Abbey
“Better a cruel truth than a comfortable delusion.”
