Even though I no longer study History, I can definitely say that my favorite period to study was the Cold War. If I had to narrow it down, my favorite historical incident would be the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Most people have never heard of it, but the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis is one of… Continue reading The Noise of Time

The Perks of Great Expectations
This week, I was reading two books in particular; The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Great Expectations.
