A Biocentric World: Is There Anything Outside Human Consciousness?
Like it or not, the Big Bang Theory doesn’t explain the birth of the universe. With the same level of defeatism, we must reluctantly admit that we haven’t yet produced the Theory of Everything. Perhaps the limitations of modern physics are such that they will never reach the final destination until we augment them with…

“Dodging Satan”: How Not To Raise a Catholic (Book Review)
Dodging Satan: My Irish/Italian, Sometimes Awesome, But Mostly Creepy, Childhood by Kathleen Zamboni McCormick My rating: 5 of 5 stars If we could open up a contest about the world’s most Catholic family, Bridget’s Italian-Irish concoction would definitely top up the rating. The clever girl is raised by the tight glove of religion from both…

“The Inconceivable Truth: A Gutsy Memoir about Defining and Surviving Childless Womanhood in the 21st Century” by Nicki Fenthum (Book Review)
There was a moment in time when I didn’t quite understand why people decide to share their stories in so many personal details. I thought – why would someone want to expose to the bare bones to random strangers? Then it dawned on me – they are not doing it for themselves or, rather, they…

“Chasing Mercury” by September Williams [Book Review]
“Chasing Mercury” ticked all the right boxes of what I consider an amazing book deserving of a high rating.

“Call Me Pomeroy” by James Hanna [Book Review]
