For someone who teaches mathematics, poetry comes easy. There are so many aspects about myself that are unknown even to me. Poetry is way to explore myself. Where it will lead me, I don't know. I don't want to know. I thrive on the unknown.
For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
Title: ADMIT ONE: A Journey into Film Author: Emmett James ISBN: 9781587369131 Publisher: Fizzypop Productions/2007 Pages: 197 Genre: Memoir/Travel...Non-fition
I received a signed copy from Emmett James via Lisa Roe of publicist fame. It is pegged as memoir/travel.
Initially I thought I am not going to like this very much. I changed my mind after a few pages. It is set in the 1980s in South London. The authour speaks how he escaped the daily drudgery of life by going to cinema. It started with his parents taking him to the movie theatre. With keen insight and humour, he raves about films and their impact on our lives.
He leaves England for Hollywood to realise his dreams about becoming an actor. He has many adventures on his way. He even stars in pornographic films. And finally lands up a role in the Titanic. He never loses his wit or his power of keen observation. We get some good insight about the world of film and the film industry. It made a light and fun read!
