Book Review: "Bullshit Jobs" by David Graeber
My brother recommended that I read a book called Bullshit Jobs because I might enjoy what it had to say. Now, I have been focusing on reading more nonfiction but I do feel like ever since I read a book called May Contain Lies by Alex Edmans, I have been putting everyone's research methods under the microscope. So even though I enjoyed what the book was about and its clear witty examples and anecdotes, the evidence that it is based on is shaky at best. If I could not use 'trust me bro' as a source at university, then people actually in research shouldn't be able to do it either. Bullshit Jobs is a book which is a great example of good writing and bad research compiled together to make something quite extraordinary: a nonfiction book you probably shouldn't take too seriously.

A Treachery to the Faithful . Content Warning.
The Roman Catholic Church is one of the oldest institutions in history. It is an ancient organization that has preserved itself through layers of secrecy, holy rituals, and worldwide acceptance of Catholic doctrine. It is this faith that wills this system to outlast the lives of all their believers, thus, clearly showing the power of collective faith and belief. But this power, this trust, was immensely and systematically abused, betraying a billion people all believing and relying in this religion. The Boston Globe revealed a major discrepancy that exploded into a major scandal that shook the long-standing beliefs of Catholics right down to its cultural core.

My Review of "A Quiet Place: Day One"
A Quiet Place: Day One has just released in theatres. It is one of my hotly anticipated movies of the year. I loved the first two movies and I couldn't say no to seeing this movie right away in the theatres. One of the biggest draws is partly the audience ambiance when the intensity of the movie goes up. This movie is a lot of fun but there are certainly a ton of distractions as well.
