One of the best Shakespeare pieces I've been made to read. But overall just a bit humorous, I suppose that goes for much of Shakespeare's work really.

Othello spirals into a madness from which he never returns, due to a handkerchief... Yep.

Iago, you sneaky bastard.

"Troubling and humorous, this is one of my current give-it-to-everyone books – I buy six copies at a time. Did you know our future belongs to a few asocial geeks for whom being human has always been a problem? Now they can solve it!"

This truly delightful tale investigates friendship and loneliness from the humorous perspective of an 81-year-old man, recuperating from his accident with a milk float. Read my revised review of this lovely novel here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/06/09/the-12-days-of-kelly-christmas/

This book was given to me one of my last days of college, my friends told me to read it because I reminded them of a character in it. I finished it in one sitting, and have now read it multiple times. It's humorous and a quick, short read.

This book is a semi-humorous science-fiction novel that takes place in a Star Trek-esque universe. Of course, everyone knows that red shirts always bite the dust, and these characters want to figure out why.
To avoid spoilers, all I'm going to say that it's meta.

Intriguing and humorous. Loved every second of it (0 more)
Somewhat addicted to the series now (0 more)
Read this book when I was younger and reread this year and it hasn't lost any of the things that gripped me. It's entertaining, passionate and feisty. Plus, who doesn't love a talking skeleton detective?
