look this white guy read Macbeth once and it’s really important that you should know that even if you don’t even open his stupid book.
Oh dear. I’m not going to say that I hate this masterpiece of a classic. It’s more like a stockholm syndrome thing where, by the time you get to the end of it you’ve pieced the bits together, but you’re kinda too exhausted to care. The title is from Macbeth, because of course it is. “Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an […]

Eat, Pray, England
The free books of England continue to get me in trouble. Perusing the racks of the book-exchange sections in my Tescos is such an easy commitment. It’s free books! There are no fees, you don’t have to return them. They can sit for ages on your bookshelf. You can even pick up the ridiculous overrated piece of white girl trash just to mock it and laugh and say “I am so much better than that!” I am not better than that. Eat, Pray, Love is […]
