To Return.

A Thought by Luke Cowling.

Everyone has that one book. That one that has a special place in your heart. That one that you return to time and time again. Maybe there’s a special reason for you. Maybe there isn’t. Maybe you just read it once and couldn’t imagine it not being special.

Maybe it saved your life. Made it better. Made it easier. Who knows. For me? I read The Call of the Wild by Jack London whilst I was in my younger years in school. Maybe I was 8, or 12, younger, older. I don’t really recall to be honest. Memory isn’t my strong suit.

Anyway, The Call of the Wild. I can’t particularly articulate why it is that book. Maybe I am looking through a haze of nostalgia. Maybe it truly is a perfect masterpiece. The point is that book introduced me to my love of the written word, for the keen appreciation for it. As a child, I’d finish it, turn to the first page, and start it again. I was that hooked.

Buck’s story is to credit for much I’ve done since, and truly I’m not certain why. But sometimes the mystery can be the best part, the edge just out of reaching, adding to the wonder.

To Smoke.

A Review by Luke Cowling. A little backstory on my interest in The Witcher series, I've played a game and I have seen the Netflix series and my opinion on the media that has resulted from that universe is really mixed. But I realise the interest in that universe just might have expanded greatly recently, so I wanted to throw my two cents in on a form of media relating to The Witcher that I received recently. This is my review of the production of the graphic novel collection produces by dark horse and cd recently, and my thoughts on how the print came out, and whether the production warrants an intrusion from your wallet. As always, thank you so much for the support, LPC.
