items As a former English literature and professional writing major, I spent the majority of my undergrad reading books and deciphering some of the most complex pieces of literature. Some of them bad, and others I actually enjoyed reading. These books are ...
This book changed me and my perspective for a ton of reasons but I firmly believe that everyone should read this book before they turn 30 for the sake of being aware, educated and to experience this controversial book the way that I did. Keep in mind...
Lolita
I rate this book an easy 5/5 stars. Extremely suspenseful and a page turner that gives you that aching feeling and raw emptiness a couple of days after. It made me go silent for a couple of days after finishing it. This is another book in my opinion ...

My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell
Interesting read, French literature that piggy-back's from some themes in Nabokov's Lolita. The title itself gives away on what the book is about, but I want to discuss the character development of the main protagonist, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille. Pict...
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer - Suskind
