Door 16: St. Lucia's Day Book: Read a book newly released in November or December of this year. A strange, beautifully written, "What am I reading?" book. A sort of modern-day "Picnic At Hanging Rock" but with eating disorders, trendy-but-hollow therapists and social media. ...

I read the paperback version of this book (first in 2013 and again in 2019). I have never read a book where so much care was taken in its presentation. The edition I read had a deeper coloured cover.

I enjoyed The End of Mr Y, ...

Some very interesting concepts, ideas and thoughts are explored throughout The End of Mr Y and generally I found it to be an interesting and entertaining read .... Somewhat heavy subject matter written in a light and lively style. It was a nice introduction for me into quantum physics and thought ex...

Erm, ok – if you are dead set on reading this, you may want to know this: First off, feel free to skip the Preface. It’s not just spoiling some of the story, it’s also very tedious. So, save your strength for the long, long, long and very tedious dialogues that are to follow in the never-ending Tr...
