Bro-meo and Jeez-liet* (or, A Highly Educated Critique of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet)
*As in Jeez, Bros, you’re Dumb
Ok. Bill, we get it. You’re great. Your characterization? Insanely epic. Your made up words? Quite useful! But seriously? Did you HAVE to go and write something which people (who’ve never read it) always reference as the epitome of love? “I’m so sad- hey, she’s hot!” Marraige! Death! The end.

Stranger Things
Stranger and wilder and crazier things would’ve been fine if it didn’t mean gorier things, too. I mean, I’m here for the characters, and the backstory of season four? Wow. But, dear Duffer brothers, I honestly could use less crunching and cracking and smooshing and gooshing. You’ve gone too far.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack
Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack by Steve Twomey I really wasn’t expecting much of this read; I grabbed it while I was at Pearl Harbor because how could I not get a book while I was there?
