Character Development
Marvel Multiverse Saga so far
As a friendly reminder, we're currently in the Mulitverse Saga of the MCU. I loved the Infinity Saga from start to finish. Very few blemishes. However, so far the multiverse saga has been immensely disappointing. A pitiful ratio of good/bad projects and horrible CGI. I really hope this changes soon.

The Managerial Revolution
There are few books that have had such a large influence on my life. The Managerial Revolution by James Burnham is one of the few that have changed my life's trajectory entirely. It is a fascinating, insightful, and contemporaneous look at the conflict between Fascism, Communism, and the New Deal.

Extremely Bad
Have you ever been asked, “What’s the worst book you’ve read?” I am often asked this when people find out my passion for literature. I always answer the same: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink. This book is exhaustingly unreadable. I stopped after the second chapter. I want my time back.

Shoresy
Even if you're not a hockey fan, Shoresy is a show I recommend for anyone and everyone. Granted you can get lost in a lot of the dialogue because well, Canada and Hockey. But even with just 1 season so far, you need to watch Shoresy. Hilarious, heartwarming, and intriguing.

Thomas Shelby and his gang of razorblade-wielding peaked-cap-wearing gentlemen, take on all manner of dastardly deeds as he strives to climb the political ladder; proving to be a compelling watch.

The Sopranos
The Sopranos gives us a taste into the underworld of Gangsters and Goomahs. For six seasons we can live amongst the criminal elite and learn the ways of a Mafia Boss, his Consigliere, and his Captains; as Tony, Silvio, Paulie, and Christopher take us on a ride of a lifetime.

The Famous Five
Stories full of mystery and adventure written for the young and old alike. With high tales of courage and friendship, this series sparked my lifelong love for reading when I was but a child. Enid Blyton graced many a long, lonesome night with her ability to awaken my youthful imagination.

Cinderella
Cinderella, like most Disney classics, involves a woman who looks for love in the most bizarre of places. Personally, I hope when my daughter grows up, she has higher standards than a man who has to use a shoe to identify her, because he doesn't recognise her without make-up on.

The All-England Summarize Proust Competition
In Search of Lost Time, written between 1910-1920 Childhood darkens somberly mature while 1880 transitions to 1920. Time is only recoverable through the incidental sensation of the moment, reviving past memories. Dissimulation of complex personal secrets. Densest of books, sensitive universally: a psychedelic soap-opera. Nothing is what it seems: not-so-secretly advocates homosexuality. A true Swann Song: politely told.
