This website is stylized as a news paper that is printed weekly whenever there is something worth printing. I am the sole staff resposible for publishing it and have no set schedule for publishing. It is just a simple record of what I'm reading and my thoughts on it.

Who I am

By day, I'm a scientist at Eastman, in Tennessee, having a lot of fun working on challenging polymer problems. I got my Ph.D. in Chemistry from Purdue, in Indiana, before that. This paper is what I do with the rest of my attention.

What gets reviewed

Whatever I finished. This means fantasty, science fiction, mystery, thrillers, you name it. If I read it and had something to say, it runs. Nothing get particular attention but I am partial to a long series that keeps me occupied.

How I write about them

Spoilers are almost always flagged at the top of every notice and I keep to them. Persoanlly, spoilers drive me crazy so I promise I won't do that to you.

If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. I'd type a little faster.— Isaac Asimov

The unfinished

Nothing gets rated that I did not finish. Abandoned books go on the shelf with the page and the reason. I have been wrong about abandoned books before and expect to be again, which is precisely why they don't get a number attached.

Disclosures

Review copies are marked as such on the notice. They do not affect the rating and they do not buy a kind one. Where a link earns anything, it says so on the link. Right now nothing does.

Write to the paper

Corrections, arguments, and recommendations are all welcome, roughly in that order of urgency. gautamprakhar23@gmail.com or subscribe below and reply to any issue.
