My Youtube Book Channel

Hi everyone,

I've started a Youtube channel where I go in-depth on some of the best books of the 20th Century. If you like my reviews here, you'll probably also like the videos I'll be publishing.

My first one is sci-fi related: The Apocalyptic fiction of JG Ballard. But I'll be covering all sorts of topics in the weeks to come.

Check it out and subscribe so you don't miss out on future releases.

Simon’s Quotes

“Jungians such as Joseph Campbell have generalised such journeys into a set of archetypal events and images. Though they can be useful in criticism, I mistrust them as fatally reductive. “Ah, the Night Sea Voyage!” we cry, feeling that we have understood something important — but we’ve merely recognised it. Until we are actually on that voyage, we have understood nothing.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin
