Reading Between the Lines – ‘American Pscyho’
“…there is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.”
― Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho
The quote from Bret Easton Ellis’s “American Psycho” provides a profound insight into the psyche of its protagonist, Patrick Bateman, and presents themes of identity, reality, and alienation in a modern consumer-driven society. Set in the 1980s, the novel satirizes the excesses of yuppie culture in Manhattan, portraying Bateman as both a product and a critique of this environment.

This is What It Would Look Like If Martin Scorsese Directed “Lord of the Rings”
Forget sprawling landscapes and epic battles. Imagine Middle-earth through the gritty lens of Martin Scorsese.

Reading Between the Lines – ‘The Brothers Karamazov’
“Is there in the whole world a being who would have the right to forgive and could forgive? I don’t want harmony. From love for humanity I don’t want it. I would rather be left with the unavenged suffering. I would rather remain with my unavenged suffering and unsatisfied indignation, even if I were wrong. Besides, too high a price is asked for harmony; it’s beyond our means to pay so much to enter on it. And so I hasten to give back my entrance ticket, and if I am an honest man I am bound to give it back as soon as possible. And that I am doing. It’s not God that I don’t accept, Alyosha, only I most respectfully return him the ticket.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Reading Between the Lines – ‘Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep’
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
– Clare Harner
