Unforgiving- Alien Weaponry
I hate to admit that the first time I heard Unforgiving was in concert. The first time was surreal, as I stood next to my brother, who I nearly lost the previous year. Little did I know a year later, this would be my comfort song when my grandmother passed.

The Snow Goose
A story about a beautiful friendship between a disabled social outcast and an innocent young girl. Set against the background of the horrors of the Second World War, this simple, overly sentimental, parable, plots the route to an epic act of bravery and unrequited love. It's a tear-jerker, par excellence.

The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists
It sold a million copies and helped a major political party to win a post-war General Election. It's a classic tale about how the impoverished, politically powerless working class is ruthlessly exploited by the ingrained corruption of their employers. It is a story all about how turkeys vote for Christmas.

Man In The Box
Man In The Box has always been my favorite Alice In Chains song. Perhaps because I’ve often felt that I’ve been trying to escape the box that people are always trying to paint me into. Most definitely it has something to do with Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell’s vocal styling.

In the Mix with YouTube
Music mix channels are some of the best parts of YouTube. They keep you company when writing or studying. They’re great for finding new music, without having to dig through tons of other channels, or Spotify. It’s often the best part of my day to put music on and write.

Great Expectations
Poor boy Pip grows up infatuated with the privileged Estella who lives with her eccentric recluse aunt, Ms. Havisham. Only money can improve Pip’s lot in life and love. Dickens' richly-drawn characters and beautifully descriptive storytelling will pull readers into this tale of mystery, unrequited love, money, class, and morals.

And Then There Were None
Perfect for gloomy days, delve into a murder mystery of a grandiose nature in the Southwest of England. Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” is a classic “whodunnit” with twisted themes of inescapable justice and overwhelming hubris. When strangers are invited to a secluded island, who will remain?

Great Expectations
"Great Expectations" weaves Dickens' characters rich and deep, Victorian society's secrets it vividly keeps. Plot's twists and turns, modern reader’s patience it seeks. Contrived coincidences, some critics critique. Themes of self-find along with society's twisted beliefs. A true classic's aura, yet still a mystique. Exploring its pages, past's echoes speak.
