Turn The Page: 6 Sick Hipsters by Rayo Casablanca

This was the perfect book for someone like me to read — damn, I got every reference in it. Is that something to be worried about? Well, it would be if I were one of the main characters in the book because that is what seemingly marks you out for death at the hands of [...]

Comicsphere: Freakangels 10

There is nothing out there quite like it. Ellis is not just creating something that no other major comics writers are creating, namely a webcomic that comes out every week, he is creating a narrative that is pretty uncommon in comics too.
The domesticity of the main characters in this story doesn’t feel like some thin [...]

Turn The Page: last words: final journals of william s. burroughs

It’s interesting, but from the title of the book and from the foreword by James Grauerholz I was led to expect something that was perhaps going to be more of an intimate, traditional style diary. As Burroughs states at one point in the book he does not want to be pigeonholed and it seems a [...]

Turn The Page: Walter M Miller Jr.

I seem to remember this being recommended to me with a line like ‘If you say you like Science Fiction then you need to read this.’ It is different — it has a very different flavour to a lot of the science fiction that I had read up to that point except for maybe The [...]

Turn The Page: Siddartha by Herman Hesse

As with a lot of the works by Herman Hesse this book is not large in regards to the number of pages but the largeness of the spirit contained within is immeasurable.
Sometimes you read a book and you feel that serendipity has delivered it to you, so closely does it seem tailored to the needs [...]

Turn The Page: The Glass Bead Game by Herman Hesse

My friend seemed to have almost the entire Herman Hesse library and I borrowed and read a fair proportion of it. This was the largest of all those books; Steppenwolf, The Prodigy and Klingsor’s Last Summer being fairly slim volumes. As a story it possessed a lot of the characteristics and concerns of the smaller [...]
