Berserker! By Adrian Edmondson
In Berserker!, Adrian Edmondson blends riotous comedy with raw vulnerability, taking readers on a wild ride that hits as hard emotionally as it does hilariously.
Oblivion ★★★☆☆
Oblivion is a visually stunning sci-fi spectacle that teases deep themes but ends up more style than substance—a sleek, post-apocalyptic journey that’s as pretty as it is hollow.
The Creative Act by Rick Rubin
Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act is less a guide to art than a gentle nudge toward living creatively, whether you’re crafting a masterpiece or just arranging your sock drawer with flair.

Wild Tales delivers a deliciously chaotic mix of revenge and absurdity, capturing the cathartic pleasure of watching people snap under life’s relentless pressures.

Ready Player two by Ernest Cline
Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline is a sequel that proves the age-old adage: lightning doesn’t strike twice, but disappointment sure can. If you were hoping for another nostalgic joyride through the pop culture wonderland of the ’80s, this book serves up a lukewarm rerun that makes you question why you ever cared in the first place.
